Guys, are you intimidated by girls that like sports?

[Carlycomets]

So I was wondering if guys are put off by girls that are into sports. I play football and I like to swim and run. Like are guys embarrassed if a girl is stronger or quicker than them? Would you not date a sporty girl?

[Aguysopinion4799]

Not by girls who like sports.
I am comfortable talking to girls, the ones I often can't talk to is when they are currently in groups, because then it feels less comfortable, I only want to socialise but I know that it is easier to make that clear to one person at a time, if I try talking to a girl while she is in her group then I have little to no chance convincing them all that I only wanted to be friends and socialise.

But girls who play sports? Why would that be something intimidating? One of my friends does rugby and she is built like a tank as far as girls go but we still feel nothing worrying or intimidating to each other, she wants to have a arm wrestle with me because she wants to prove herself to me since she is younger than me and I am looking forward to it so much since I am competitive, but it will have to wait till a day when things are safe :)

And I had friends who did tennis, dodgeball, basketball, Football, there was a girl who was actually quite good at shot put.


So I never felt any worry about it, as for a girl who is stronger than me? I mean, if I ended up finding a girl I loved and she was a tank, then my tastes must have changed because that isn't my preference, but if it is just a matter of her being a little stronger than me than no problem.

Like, I wouldn't go out with a person who had muscles like

But I would date a girl who was like

But I think a lot of the time my attraction has gravitated to ones who have been not that strong, there was one I had feelings for that was muscular, but my primary attraction and preference is definitely people who have less muscle.

No I'm not intimidated by it I workout along side women in the gym everyday and I used to train with several women back when I did martial arts. I have no issues with it y'all are fit and attractive and there ain't nothing with that.

I also wouldn't be embarrassed if a woman was stronger then me because I have yet to really meet any that were between going to the gym everyday and my job I stay very fit. And the few that I have met that were certainly earned their strength which is nothing to be embarrassed about.

[virgin20]

I love a girl that's into sport, like they have so much more in common since I also play football and watch loads of sports. I love it!
I wouldn't care if she's quicker / stronger / better because that brings competition into the relationship and you can have banter about who's better. Dream of meeting a girl into sport!

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

I have a different opinion on this.
Let's say I am in a relationship with a girl for a long time. I know her and trust her. I don't mind if she gets into fitness, martial arts or another sport and gets stronger than me. She will have my full support and I will even be proud of how strong she is.

BUT...
If I know for a fact that a girl can kick my ass on the first date I will feel unconfortable. That means I am dating a girl that once we are alone can do whatever to me. And I don't know her yet so I don't trust her. I don't mind if she is strong and into sports, but a lot mor ethan me, ya not going to happen. I wouldn't feel safe.

This was never a problem since I do muay thai and workout so I never met a girl stronger than me. This is an hypothetical situation.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@carlycomets what is your opinion on this?

[Anonymous]

I kind of imagine that most guys would be attracted to girls who play sports and like to keep themselves healthy and in good shape 👍 I would actually rather date a girl who is sporty - even if it were just going to the gym - over someone who was lazy and unhealthy. I train in kickboxing and there is a good mix of guys and girls - seriously, some of the more experienced, higher ranked girls are quicker and technically better than many of the guys. Some girls actually compete against guys and win 😆 often girls use a devastating kick to the groin to win, but a win is a win none the less. I can see why some guys would feel really intimidated and embarrassed by this, but I think it’s cool and good on the girls who have worked so hard to achieve those levels and wins! 👍 I would happily take on a girl if asked. Well I would not worry about being a sporty girl - all power to you! 🙂

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I think it's a little hot. If we both can kick ass, now we're powerful af.

You know, like what are you gonna do about us now gabby and Jack? Your combined height is like nine and a half feet and my woman can launch a fucking javelin at state championship distances.

But in all seriousness athletic girls are hot. There's one where I work and she wears a lot of those skin tight athletic shirts. It's extremely difficult to focus on actually working.

[WesBrewer]

no, I would be more attracted, because that means we can do more together, since I also do sports I am relatively fit, and I love backpacking, girls who aren't in sports might not be able to hike 10 miles with a 60 lb pack with me so sporty girls are better probably, also they sometimes have better legs if they are in sports since they use them and train them.

[jamesgoldman]

No
My interest in sports ends at the bookies counter

Quicker, you'd win my heart isn't up for speed

Stronger, you might win but I'm more durable in a 'I'm shunting stuff until I can't do it anymore because my back has given out and finished paralysing me' kind of way

No sporty girl is dating a guy half way to the morgue

[4eyes2mouths]

I never found it intimidating. Rather attractive that a woman is in shape and active.

[pigoat]

Yeah guys like that exist

Don't know if they would ever admit it and NOT dating a sporty girl is not a good indication that they feel that way, so it's easy for them to hide how they truly feel

[Citizenkirk]

Intimidated? That's how I used to meet girls when I was in school. For the most part, that's how I meet girls now.

[Avicenna]

No, a woman that likes sports is a big turn-on. I'd love to have a girlfriend that goes running with me.

[chriscdi]

considering my past lifestyle id love that, cause you never know when you have to run, or use your strength, if i know my girl is strong id feel more comfortable leaving her alone

[Dinosaursandanime65]

No. I do a different kind of sport in my head. I think I can run faster now. Never tried. “CccccKkkuuuu RroouuuuuuuRRrrrrr~ Now, the sport I do in my head, I use Advanced Imagery to see myslef being a hit man, and dying. I don’t die though.

[iFarted]

Not at all, we're all good and not so good at certain things in life. If she's an active girl and want me to be active with her then its like a win win. We can bond over those activities and also I'll be healthier.

[FakeName123]

No one is intimidated by you doing sports. Stop projecting assuming everything has to do with feeling intimidated.

[kkirk4442]

Girls that like sports, especially if they play sports, are more attractive.

[SunnySri]

No mam, I am not. I like sports and it would be great to play with a girl too. She can also teach me sports I am not good at like swimming.

[slatyb]

No. I would love to have a partner who would ski with me.

[PeterCharie1991]

My ex was into fitness she had abs and could do 50 press ups without stopping so no im not intimated altho i sometimes i got insecure, as im stocky n she used get lot attention from fit guys

[Dchrls78104]

There are a few sports players in my country that look good. I wouldn't date them because I never see them anyway and at least one is a lesbian.

[zagor]

No, fit girls are a good thing. As long as they're not obsessive about it, like the girl who used to lead my sports conditioning class.

[Cataphractarii]

As long as she's not into bodybuilding i wouldn't care. In fact it'd give us a fun little non-sexual activity.

[tomtom05131]

Nope in fact i prefer it. Now, i’m not a stick and ball sports guy. I prefer fringe sports. Swimming is definitely cool.

[Pete671]

Sporty girls are really hot, yes I am intimadated by them and that is part of the attraction,,,

[Liam_Hayden]

I'm an avid runner so I prefer someone who is active.

[EaterPeter]

You are welcome. You are a good looking woman. You can probably rock any hair do.

[Camel22]

Nope I like that’s would definitely be a huge plus for me

[Texasguy99]

Not at all. I am totally attracted to athletic girls.

[more_than_a_guy]

I am an athlete myself, so if you like sports it's a turn on!

[gandolph3]

Not at all, i like a girl that is not afraid to sweat, lot of fun

[jimmy2]

Not at all that so much better than a girl that is loosely
