Do guys think girls who play sports are less feminine and thus less attractive?

There is really not a binary thing there
Sometimes it is one sometimes it is the other
An attractive woman might become less attractive if she participated in a sport that required bulking up or reducing body fat levels to extreme numbers or she might just remain attractive with a fit body if that is what the sport requires
A less attractive woman might become a little more attractive with a fit body but if she needed to bulk up or to get extremely low body fat levels she would remain less attractive
So it is not really either or

I find them attractive (no less feminine), but I also don't think I would find as many common interests with them, and think they would probably be more inclined towards a more sport oriented guy too. Because, while I do like to play sports on occasion for fun, I don't really go out of my way to watch them either.

I think people tend to care more about this stuff in highschool. I have never seen a guy turn down a hot girl because she doesn't play sports. I have friends who play sports in college but hasn't caused more guys to like them. I think if the guy likes sports then it will be a plus.

glenns · Answer

People, the author is asking if sports makes the woman more feminine, not more attractive.
Let's stay on topic. And to answer the question, I'd have to say that women involved in sports seem less feminine, not more feminine. This is just a fundamental fact of nature. Is she more attractive? I don't know, nor do I care since that's not the question that we're being asked...

tehepicasian · Answer

Depends; for me, it is not so much the "sporty" part, but kind of the general stereotype that surrounds more athletic girls: specifically that they tend to be more "girl-power!" or "I can do anything those guys can do!" with their behavior; and while that is in NO way a BAD thing to have, as girls who are more confident in themselves do tend to be more attractive than girls who are not; but the advice here, especially coming from a guy who isn't much of an athlete, is that you could always try to keep a positive appearance in interactions with girls and guys alike, and be more open and cheerful if anyone wants to have a conversation; as that trait is getting increasingly rare nowadays as people feel "fake" for acting cheerful or positive. Just my two cents on the matter, and you can make with it as you please.

TheBigSoftie · Answer

More attractive cos that usually means they are really strong and that is a big turn on for me. And when they flex for me... I could just feel those guns and could be instantly turned on. Oh and the way they smell after a game. That's attractive too. Especially if their uniforms were drenched in B. O. and genital sweat.

(Sorry ladies I didn't mean to type that that was the work of my younger brother.)

Or was it? ;)

krity · Answer

Depends on the sport! For female rugby players, personally for me less attractive. But not because of the sport - rather what it does for the body, ends up causing stockiness and muscle.

Basically no sport doesn't matter as long as the girl doesn't get muscular or really stocky

John_Doesnt · Answer

I love girls who play volleyball, their butts are huge! And my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun!

Ayer93 · Answer

From my observations, I tend to notice that girls that play sports generally have more masculine features especially at higher levels. I wouldn't say the 2 go hand in hand and girls can look attractive if they play sports but those ones are usually blessed by genetics.

fashionguy17 · Answer

Well, I'm a nerdy guy. Lol. When I was a kid, I used to play all sorts of sports... but I'm more into the arts now. I was never really big into watching sports.

If a girl plays sports, that's cool with me. However, I don't want a girl who is a sports fanatic and who watches sports 24/7 like most guys because I would get bored quickly.

picturedrockshexagon · Answer

Well, soccer is a joke, especially women's soccer, they're barely athletes lol. One of the best women's teams in the world got best a boy's 14u team lmao. But it REALLY depends on the sport. Girls who swim have manly proportions as it gives them large, bulky shoulders. Not small cute ones. Girls who play volleyball are normally hot tho and the standardized booty shorts is awesome.

InTimoreDei · Answer

Being fit is attractive but the problem I have with these sporty girls is that they tend to show off on social media and are always taking pictures on instagram, half naked in bikinis. Or they're the ones that are always doing stupid "Haul" videos on youtube, trying on sexual clothing in front of millions So, because of that, they piss me off.

passinby · Answer

I don't think about it much. I do like her in shape however she likes to stay that way. I did go with a coach once, lmao, she treated me like a team member, very dominant in bed, I was expecting her to pull out a whistle.

ryryryan · Answer

I voted yes, less attractive. A female who is stronger than me, and who has less defined curvature and body fat, is basically the body type of a guy at that point. I like a female who is heavy in the bottom and dainty elsewhere. Being healthy matters, but overly athletic girls... Like body builders in the extreme form are less attractive (still potentially hot anyway)

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on a girl and on a sport she plays. I usually prefer fit & athletic sporty girls and I consider them more attractive, especially if they practice some martial art/combat sport, or if they play some of the team sports like handball, football (soccer), volleyball, basketball etc.
Tomboyish girls are definitely my favorite.
Femininity and masculinity are just a social construct, therefore, they don't mean anything to me.

lord_chilled · Answer

depends on the sport. some sports make you attractive, some less so. its usually the more "manly" sports, like weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and other strength related sports that make women unappealing, and mostly because it changes your appearace. ironically that womens rugby/american football sport makes girls look very , VERY appealing.

FenderMustango · Answer

Niether being athletic does not mean less attractive. Look at most tennis players. Also people who do extreme sports like Skiing and Snowboarding they are not your typical lean flat chested people like runners or weightlifters etc. Plus nothing wrong with being active.

chrisbigman · Answer

I suppose if they start acting like guys (scratching their crotch, burping, grunting - you get the idea, right?). On a more serious note, I do not find women to be less attractive when they play sports. In fact, I find them slightly MORE attractive when they play sports. As for whether they are less feminine, I'm not sure it's possible - unless they try acting more masculine.

Beauxbreaux · Answer

Why would you not have a choice in the middle? Many of us do not care about sports and could care less either way. Any guy saying you are less attractive because you enjoy competition and being active is not worth dating. There is some serious underlying sexism there. He would be a weak man seeking confirmation of his masculinity. Insecure dudes make terrible partners. Avoid them like the plague.

Anonymous · Answer

I guess it's cool unless it's like MMA or karate or something too aggressive
Some wrestling or submission wrestling would be okay but nothing with the level of violence of flying teeth at least lol
Mostly they would be very sexy and mostly means she will have a nice body
But the idea of having an MMA girl , she could have more muscles than some guys

talltom94 · Answer

I don't understand why I have the view that I do on this topic, I hate sport, playing it's not bad, but I can't stand watching it, don't support any teams, dont even tune into important events (such as the world cup, Olympics etc.) I avoid it at all costs, and yet girls who play sports I find oddly attractive... yeh I don't understand it either 😂😂

screwup32 · Answer

2 words, 1 name, rough date... words: Google this Name: Anna Kornikova Rough date: 2000 - 2005 ...  Youtube some of her Wimbledon videos... she could make even the straightest homophobic woman wet!!!

kenworth · Answer

I didn't vote because it dosn't change their attractiveness. It's just a part of who they are. That being said. Their many ladies into sports who are gorgeous. From body builders to gymnists. To barrel racers. They all have a great look

Nikkismith · Answer

I play volleyball, basketball, and I run track, and I find guys are attracted to that. I’ve been told on many occasions that sporty girls are “hot”. Of course we don’t play sports for their attention, but it’s nice knowing what they think.

5ara8ear · Answer

More duhhh! It means you're more active and fit. You're actually considered a better mate because you're healthier! You have a good body, you can preform better, you have a hobby that he may also share or understand. What's not to love?

FMJ_Guy · Answer

I'm probably a little biased as I dated one that played college Volleyball, and a Cheerleader, in HS. Let's just say I was ALWAYS at all the games!! :)

OlderAndWiser · Answer

You don't have an option for no correlation between attractiveness and being an athlete. There are some stunningly beautiful female athletes and there are some who - quite frankly - scare me!

peachblossomluck · Answer

Fit people, either gender, are always more attractive. I've seen women on a baseball team who looked like men but I had to assume they were butch lesbians. They were twins and looked exactly like men.

madhatters4 · Answer

i don't think playing sports makes them more or less feminine or really more or less physically attractive

Oram52 · Answer

Playing sports has no correlation with being feminine. You can be feminine and still be sporty. Its how you dress, act, behave, vibe etc. In the pic above her with vollyball looks feminine to me.

TheCookieDealer · Answer

Usually more attractive, it's just that most man-ish girls do sports. They're usually unatractive but that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they do sports

PoliceLivesMatter · Answer

Depends on the sport. Women who fight in MMA, could have an abundance of prenatal testosterone, which would make them less attractive to me.

CarpetDenim · Answer

Depends on the sport but in almost all cases I think it would make a woman more attractive because playing a sport means she's fit and in good shape.

Pejtu · Answer

It all depends she can be cheerleader and can be totaly stupid in conversation it happens quite often when u talk to the super popular chick at school its same with guys sometimes
You can't tell untill u get to know someone
i vote no personally

jessture · Answer

As someone who has passions and hobbies, and has experienced nothing from girlfriends but complete shit over the fact I do, when I see a woman who is passionate about something it is very attractive to me. It means she gets it.

jmac23 · Answer

In order to play a sport they need to take care of their bodies. Plus they are gogetters and know what they want. That is extremely attractive

lonely_nomad · Answer

The girl would be be fit. Fit is good. And active. These aren't bad qualities or qualities that determine femininity

Pamina · Answer

I think only very frew - very weird - guys wouldn't find that attractive, let alone find it unattractive. But quite honestly, would you even care?

Anonymous · Answer

tf sports keep you in shape which i say is very feminine and healthy therefore attractive. esp volleyball have you seen girls who play volleyball? slender , nice long and muscular legs , toned and big butt.

spqreid · Answer

Depends on the sport I think but being competitive is biologically and traditionally a masculine trait. It's very rare you find a prim and proper female sporting competitor. They tend to be a bit masculine I find but definitely not all the time.

ThoughtCriminal · Answer

Yes, they are less attractive... Personally, I don't find them attractive at all... They have those hard, wiry bodies and they're lacking boobs and ass... They're just very unfeminine, in appearance and manner.

Allie_Oops · Answer

Honestly, I think it’s more about the sport they play. Soccer and volleyball are more feminine than softball and football.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

I don't think they are more or less attractive. Girls that play sports usually have more of an athletic build. Volleyball girls tho 😍

steveguitar · Answer

More attractive, as long as she's not a body builder, weights are fine as long as they don't look like The Hulk

A_Bell · Answer

I think we sporty girls are awesome. But anything can go too far.

pasimuscle · Answer

If they share my sport, they sure are the most attractive, even from the outside and not only because of the sporty mentality

CubsterShura · Answer

Athletic girls can be HOT 🔥 I don't understand why people would find them unattractive.

SirRexington · Answer

Tomboys are usually beautiful and have their own sexiness to them.  They are still feminine though, they know they are girls.

WildNekoWolf · Answer

I don't. Girls that are athletic chose their hobby. Sports is a hobby that they enjoy so it's like trying to change their personality. Doing sports is what makes them who they are.

bubble_tea · Answer

More attractive, because they seem more interesting.

DanielOfTheNorth · Answer

I don't like athletic women.  I do like women in yoga pants, or leggings however

FakeName123 · Answer

It depends on the kind of sport usually. Volleyball doesn't make her less feminine necessarily. Rugby? Probably does.

ShaeNielson · Answer

I don't think anyone thinks a girl who plays sports is less attractive in any way. Being active and healthy is very attractive.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No. But in the world of sports, some: 1. Take drugs (e. g., steroids) 2. Are arrogant and disrespectful These would make you unattractive.

MrMilti · Answer

I like people who do sports and therefore think sporty women are more attractive, but I prefer pure sports, not "playing sports games"

Goodwifie · Answer

I played soccer in highschool and all the guys thought I was a lesbian.

Juan1312 · Answer

I find them more attractive, especially soccer girls since I'm a soccer player.

AD240pCharlie · Answer

That depends. Does it mean that she's muscular? Then yes, she's less attractive. Does it mean that she's simply in shape? Then no. I'd love to have a female friend I could talk about soccer with.

zagor · Answer

Depends on the sport, but in general fit people are more attractive, so no. Tennis players or volleyball players tend to be attractive, weight lifters not so much.

one1wild00 · Answer

If she's in sports then she is probably in great shape and active, not a couch potato. also she rates higher in my book for a sexual relationship as she is more energetic.

cherryphi82 · Answer

With the exception of maybe volleyball, I never found girls playing sports that attractive.

BornFree · Answer

I played sports. I am far less feminine, but I look good
