Search Results: athletic body in balance

Just so there's no confusion, I want to get an honest read on the crowd here. There are a lot of uplifting, hopeful stories we tell ourselves about how it's only inner beauty that matters, but we need to balance that with a reality check if we want to understand the real world. Please tell me if I'm wrong, because I don't want to be wrong.

Inner-beauty being equal, I'd rather have a wealthy partner than a poor partner.

Inner-beauty being equal, I'd rather have a partner with an athletic body than an obese body.

Inner-beauty being equal, I'd rather have a tall partner than a short one. This one tends to fall along gender lines, though. Men can be intimidated by tall women, while many women don't date anyone less than 6' tall. Check a few Tindr profiles for exact references. Personally, I'm tall and would love a tall woman to raise giant, healthy babies with. :P

We've all seen people that perform athletically better than their physique may indicate (I fall into this category)...

...

...and we've seen people that look like they're in good shape but don't perform as well athletically as their appearance is (usually naturally very skinny people fall into this category).

1) Think VERY critically about how your body looks aesthetically.

2) Now think VERY carefully about your performance doing just about anything involving:

*strength (across all parts of the body)

*flexibility (ability to bend and twist you body without pain)

*lateral quickness (moving from side to side, as well as from various positions of the body)

*overall speed of sprinting/running at "high gear"

*potency of your explosiveness (aka burst of power in a short space)

*pyometric abilities (aka, jumping / hopping ability)

*cardiovascular stamina (how long you can go breathing hard, elevated heart rate and/or sweating without stopping)

*balance of your body in various positions (like throwing a baseball or football)

*reaction speed (quickness of hands and feet as in kicking, catching, dodging/evading, etc)

------------------------------

In essence, when people look at the physique of your body, then look at your athletic performance...

...how well would people usually say that the two "match"?

P.S. If I could vote on this poll myself I'd definitely be "A".
