A group of men were sitting around one evening, talking and joking about life, age, relationships, and sports.

One of them leaned back in his chair and said, “You know, I once heard someone compare women to different sports depending on their age.”

The others laughed and told him to continue.

He said, “When women are very young, they’re like gymnastics. Everybody knows it exists, but most men aren’t really paying attention.”

“Then, from 18 to 25, they’re like football. Suddenly, there are twenty-two men fighting over one ball.”

The group burst out laughing.

“From 25 to 35,” he continued, “they’re like volleyball. The competition is still strong, but now there are fewer players around the ball.”

He took a sip of his drink and went on.

“From 35 to 45, they’re like table tennis. When the ball comes your way, you try to send it back to the other side, but you still don’t want to drop it.”

The men laughed even harder.

“And finally,” he said, “from 45 to 55, they’re like golf.”

One of the men asked, “Golf? Why golf?”

He smiled and replied,

“Because every man wants to get it into the hole as quickly as possible.”
