Why do girls pass out/cry hysterically in the chute after finishing cross country races?

It's that time of year again! Let the passing out/crying hysterically begin.

I believe you're referring to Dathan.

I never seen a girl or woman carry on like Dathan Ritzenhein did at Footlocker. I often ask my kids if they are going to run so hard that they will put on the Ritz afterward. So far only vomit.

Tell me again about the female Navy Seals and Marines?

Unless you mean confirmation bias, you are implying that he is causing the participants (the girls) to cry. Which is a pretty good joke.

Have you ever heard of observer bias?

Also confirmation bias doesn't occur here because he is right. I have see one boy pass out and dozens of girls pass out/cry in my 8 years.

My guess would be exhaustion/hormones/emotional differences. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Probably not social influence but it could be.

Peter Snell cried.

Roger Bannister collapsed/passed out.

I guess he tried on a lot of shoes

yes, yes and yes

Ran d3 back in the early ‘90s, remember seeing only one runner from the women’s team pass out/collapse in 4 years. She was way bulimic/anorexic.

Definitely some sort of mass psychology thing.

Obama's PC Corp elevated a female supply clerk to platoon leader, the first, this week she's facing court martial and dishonorable discharge for fraternization with said platoon members.

You won't see it on CNN, or a conviction, she's a protected class.

Like lemmings?

One jumped off a bridge a few years ago, Jenny S. Fell on her face for no reason.

Don't think anyone would make it up, what would be the point especially at the end?

Pheromones?

She didn’t cry or pass out, but was hysterical when I went up her chute.

I saw a guy puke at the finish once.

I don't know. Why do some men pass out in the delivery room?

Because they just saw PNSO happen.

Girls are much stronger and faster than boys. Running fast will make you tired, you should try it.

Your scale and watch are faulty.

Was he watching the finish?

If they didn’t have boyfriends or a support group, they wouldn’t cry after they finished a race.

? am I wrong?

I don’t need no one... ?
