Would you date an athlete?

Question

InTimoreDei · Accepted Answer

They tend to dress like shite and usually wear athleisure clothing full time. Due to that, I wouldn't be attracted to one. When I was younger, I did have a cheerleader girlfriend but she wore nice dresses outside of the gym. I haven't seen girls in recent years do that.

And look at how revealing their clothes have become. Athletes in the recent past did not need to wear such revealing clothes in order to perform. They performed perfectly fine and had a decent amount of coverage. Hilarious how they use the "performance" excuse to wear basically no clothing nowadays (especially runners and volleyball players).

I've dated a gymnast and a dancer in the past, but I tend to find the more extreme "athletic builds" (zero body fat with lots of muscle definition) to be masculine-looking and unattractive.

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

A male athlete - I think so - because I believe people who work so hard at their goals are happier than us and have interesting stores to share

PrincessGrail · Accepted Answer

Sure. In fact, I have. Not a professional athlete though. He played lacrosse in high school and college.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Yes!!! Mostly because I exercise too, so dating an athlete would not only encourage me to stay in shape, but we could workout together. That's like a dream right there, lol

OlderAndWiser · Answer

At my age, women are no longer athletes, but if I was younger. . . I certainly wouldn't eliminate a girl from consideration solely because she was an athlete.

AmandaYVR · Answer

I did and it was great. He went to the Olympics and I watched him on it. He was such a nice person, too.

MotionlessStorm · Answer

No. Not to the extent that it's their life passion at least. I went on a few dates with a couple of guys who were big into fitness and sports - total turn off for me and I'm also into fitness. However, it's all they talked about. They were constantly sending me pictures of them shirtless and it just got so old. I get it, you're proud of your body, I am too because I work hard, but it became very vain. Incompatibility in the end. If I were on the same level as them it would have been a different story, but I simply exercise because it boosts my mood and confidence.

holograph · Answer

I would date an athlete. It is attractive for a person to stay in good physical health. I'm not quite attracted to high amounts of muscle, but it would really take a lot to get to that point; you'd basically have to be a power lifter on steroids to look less attractive to me.

Kapakani · Answer

yep Alison stokke allll day 😊

Exterminatore · Answer

I see no reason that in and of itself would warrant me saying “no” if I were single. Other militating factors would have to be assessed like what sport is it (don’t want a butch MMA type of chick), how often are the gone competing, how much would it hinder our relationship and other factors.

Flamdring · Answer

Two of my girlfriends were athletes. They were no longer practising their sport, but the toned body was always there and they were still physically very active in general. They did motivate me to be much more active too and I am forever thankful to them for that. I would actually prefer to be with someone who is active rather than inactive, but being with an athlete in her prime... It could be a real challenge if she expects me to be just as active as she is.

MichaelBond · Answer

WellI am an athlete myself, so I would have no problem with it. I just went to a competition this last Saturday.

Aethereal · Answer

Yes I would. I might be slightly intimidated by the fact that she's (possibly way) more fit than me. But if we're compatible in the things that are important to me, and she'll have me; I'd do it happily.

alice55 · Answer

I would but only if he was doing a sport I liked if not I wouldn't have the energy to fake being interested in his sport and that would be pretty bad since I think a girlfriend should be supportive of her boyfriend

Hans222 · Answer

If we get along well, sure! The only disadvantage could be that during their career sports come first... and they could be away from home quite frequently :o

Browneye57 · Answer

in my opinion it's not the athleticism in question, but more the commitment level and available time for a mate. Same for a doctor, or any other completely consuming endeavor. If they don't have time for you it's rather pointless, don't you think?

SjE78 · Answer

if she had a good personality and we clicked then yeah, like any other woman really, for me a good personality is a must, physical attributes are a bonus

Aguysopinion4799 · Answer

Well I mean, why not? regardless of their profession or capabilities, it doesn't change a reason to whether you should or shouldn't date them, so long as you like them for who they are, right? :)

MecheD · Answer

Yes , I would definitely but tbh I would just hope they’re leveled out for themselves where that typical aggressive approach in sports they’ve used isn’t heavily involved in the relationship.

RussianNestingDoll · Answer

Athletes are fit 😍 I used to be one. Would love to be one again. More interested to be one than date one.

El_Heffe · Answer

I'm not sure it would really depend on their character and training schedule, which can be hell on a relationship. I raced mountain bikes semi professionally and it was a grind on my relationship so much I gave up racing in favour of my lover and I.

AmtgardJean · Answer

I would love to date an athlete. Many of them have my ideal body type and though I'm not supposed to do much walking I love being active and competing in sports.

blkgold33 · Answer

Sure would I get see her play and support her also she probably get my lazy butt into the gym with her lol

curiousnorway · Answer

No, probably not because of I'm usually more attracted with people who've something in common like interest in art. :)

MajesticTwelve · Answer

Not the ones you posted, no. But a guy? Sure, why not? As long as he doesn't expect me to take up his sport, I'll support him all the way.

eshedd · Answer

Well I’m an athlete so I would hope will date me, and yeah I’d date someone who’s also an athlete too

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes, that could work, I like to be active and in shape.

naijagurl · Answer

I totally would. At my age most of the people I know are athletes.

more_than_a_guy · Answer

Of course, I am an athlete myself, and a partner who also have this way of life is awesome, share sports together, healthy lives and a healthy bed time😉.
In addition this is about self respect, health, and longevity.

Dav1ss · Answer

I was one way back when lol but I would and have dated them

molonski2 · Answer

I have , and I would , I love the dedication to sport , just as I once was I appreciate how difficult it is , they are highly sexual due to their incredible fitness.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Yeah sure. I'd date some of the girls in the women's soccer league. Or at least get to know them to see if it was a good match.

jayden888 · Answer

Yes, athletic girls are hot but I'll never do it if being in a relationship with me makes them a lesser version of themselves.

StephenCF · Answer

Only if she played some good ol’ soccer ⚽️ Other than that, I know I’d get tired of her dietary needs, exercise routines and her ugly gym clothes 😒

Dlg1979 · Answer

Sure, why not? Maybe I could learn the same things they like to do.

leestella1999 · Answer

Nope sorry i feel body shame if i was chubby and i could not go on the diet

Anonymous · Answer

I was an athlete and then into being fit until fairly recently and found most athletic folks like to date each other.

humanearth · Answer

I was the track and field star back in the day. And I was date less.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Probably not. Most women who are athletes i think look for guys who are athletes and while i try to stay active i wouldn't classify myself as an athlete. So my guess is she would lose interest in me very quickly.

Surely · Answer

Their flexibility would make certain things more interesting. As long as their muscles smooth out when not pumped up.

exitseven · Answer

I have dated lots of athletes. I dated a swimmer and someone who played field hockey. My wife was very athletic. One of the first things I noticed after her smile was her 6 pack abs.

Anonymous · Answer

You mean physically? I mean if the person spends too much time training due he is a professional athlete and won't have a lot of time for me then no I won't date him

Garlan · Answer

Absolutely! But, would an athlete date me? I don't think so :P

the-mad-german · Answer

swim girls are hot... like those wide shoulders  only problem... they are mostly flat xD

clampfan101 · Answer

I like a variety of girls, and athletes are definitely attractive.

JackieMoon · Answer

Yeah I don't mind, but hey at least I'm glad to know that I have a Girlfriend who not only loves me... but knows that I love her as well

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, because they would have a clear passion in their lives. Also, since it's so physically demanding to be an athlete, they would be healthy through exercise and diet. I would respect her a lot.

Lman3000 · Answer

Uhh yeah what's the reason not to? I mean unless she's nuts or got a bad attitude I got no issue

DWornock · Answer

If I could, but they are extremely elite people and way out of my league.

stevejobless · Answer

I'd love to date a soccer player or a skater. Legs and booty

Anonymous · Answer

No, female athletes usually have higher testosterone levels and therefore are sluttier. Which is why the Olympic village is known as a fuck frenzy place.

bangyourhead · Answer

Sure! They have to be really fit and are often cute. But it depends on the sport.
