Yes.

No.

When I'm the winner I usually:

Pin my opponent.

Win on points.

When I lose a match:

It's usually because I've been pinned.

Most of my losses were on points.

I would rather:

Pin an opponent who I've been able to dominate for most of the match.

Battle back from behind to pin an opponent in an upset.

Frequently.

Sometimes.

Never.

Yes, and I lost.

Yes, and I won on points.

Yes, and I pinned him.

My proudest moment on the mat came when...

I lost, but avoided being pinned, and my team won because I was able to keep off of my back.

I pinned my opponent so fast that I didn't break a sweat.

I was way behind, but after a long struggle took him to his back and eventually pinned him.

I've been "romantic" with a teammate.

Yes.

No.

I would date a guy I was able to pin.

No. The fact we both knew I could take him would be a deal-breaker.

Yes. If he did not mind neither would I. It's only a wrestling match.

Thanks for your time!
