‘I could do that drunk’: Arrogant men get a brutal reality check after challenging female athletes

Detailed summary

“Put down the phone, get off the couch and compete. Reality is an extraordinary teacher. And it doesn’t care about your ego.”

Can an average man outperform a female athlete? It depends on who you ask.

Each video features a different sport and is also titled, “Can an average man outperform a female athlete?” The concept is exploding on TikTok as just a single post has over 15 million views.

William brings in a slew of professional female athletes across multiple sports, like basketball players, powerlifters and runners, where men all have the same answer — a confident yes.

In one TikTok, the muscle maven asked four beefcakes if they thought they could beat a professional female sprinter in a race — where the winner had the chance to score $100. One man went so far as to say that despite having never done track — “100%, I could do that drunk.”

Another burly boy thought if he just pushed off quickly enough at the start, it would be a “winnable battle.”

So, Williams set up the race at a track where he gathered four boastful boys who all lost in a humbling fashion, where they were forced to admit defeat.

But how did this start in the first place? Why do some men think they can truly win against a professional athlete — even if it’s a woman?

The Post spoke with Stephanie High, a Ph.D. Candidate in psychology with a Master’s in Performance Psychology — focusing on sports, business and the performing arts. The 40-year-old doctoral student told The Post that many of the men look fit and regularly exercise — assuming it translates.

“Looking strong in the gym and being trained for a specific sport are two completely different things,” High told The Post. “A powerlifter, a sprinter, or a basketball player has spent years building skills, technique, and instincts that you simply can’t see from the outside.”
