i always thought guys were faster than girls. i was sure that if a girl ever tried to slap me i would just block her hand away. but today, this cute blonde at school and i get into an argument, and she goes uuhh, and then flips her right hand out to the side. a second later, *slap* she got me square on my left cheek, and my face just spun to the side. i thought for sure i'd block that, but you can't. she was too fast. you can't even move. i'm like daaaamn! how can you block that? and ladies, have you ever done it? does it work that easily usually? and how come we can't block it? do you think most guys can?

i'll admit guys are generally stronger than girls but i don't think that has to do with speed -_-;;

correct me if i'm wrong, which i could probably well be.

Strength is a byproduct of Type II B muscle fibers, which dictate force output capacity. The stronger these are, the faster your muscles can contract. This is why world-class male sprinters are huge compared to skinny, plodding marathon runners. They need the myofibrils, which contract and generate tension, within the muscle mass for burst movement.

Strength directly correlates with speed.

Out of curiosity, could you tie that in w/ agility?

<,< That's what agility is; quickness... as well as flexibility in a sense.

Agility: the power of moving quickly and easily; nimbleness: exercises demanding agility.
