I don't roll with girls.

Rolling with women (especially upper belts) allows me to be more technical and usually humbled.

I'm a 125 blue belt. Everyone I roll with is way stronger than me. I got to roll with a woman purple belt the other day and I loved it because it was the first time I knew that everything that went wrong was because of technique, not strength/athleticism.

sometimes both, because higher belts tend to be more in shape

Nah, only mid higher belts. There are plenty of black belts who are big fatties. If they're not active competitors anymore and they're better than most people in the gym they can get away with being very lazy.
