Graduated from high school last year and I was a really good athlete at a private school in the US. I played football and baseball and specifically football was such a halo for me. I was semi good looking but nothing crazy prob MMTN-HMTN but I could pull HTB+ at my school because I was really a good football player and during football season that is all people talk about at school because friday night lights are such a big thing in US. Fast forward to now in college and I am a tad better looking but I get 0 approaches because there is a bigger pool of selection at a major uni and I don't have sports for that halo effect. In conclusion, sports are a key factor of SMV in high school so it is a good short term investment to get good at them and if are good enough to play in college that is a crazy halo at a big uni that is often overlooked.

I would consider it one, before I started playing Rugby for a team outside of school, I was getting next to no attention from girls, only after I started is when I was getting attention from girls

Because Europe is a lot more diverse than America in terms of sporting culture. Europe has the likes of Football, Rugby, Hockey, Gaelic Football, etc. And the main sport over here is Football (or soccer for you shitskin americans), and a lot more people play sports in Europe than America because Americans tend to be lazy and fat and the only two main sports over there is American Football and Baseball, which is basically ignored over here.
