Dear #socialscience and #psychology people

Please explain to me what's going on here.

Some guys set up a challenge in which they ask (random convenience sampled) guys if they think they could beat a #woman #tennis champion. Of those that say they could, they pick a few and tennis is played. It goes about as you might think, with the woman beating them handily.

What I want to know, is what those volunteer guys were thinking. Did they honestly think they could beat her, or were they following a macho script in which everyone expects a guy to confidently lay claim to better skills at anything than any woman, or is there another motive?

	Dude really thinks he can beat her
	He is following a script
	He just wants to meet her
	He just wants to play tennis

we're all about loops, we are running loops in the background all day doing loop things. my loops are running as we speak, cranking out other loops. this is what loop development is about

people not using loops are going to get left behind by people who are using loops. you need to use loops

check my website for my 599EUR course on loops. you need to buy it not to get left behind, as loops are rapidly taking over the industry
