Why do women drool over basketball players more than all other athletes?

[CasaNorba]

I would of thought that all athletes have sex appeal do to their high demands to stay in shape in order to perform in the sports they play, but for some odd reason I have always noticed that women tend to drool over basketball players the most.

I remember back in high school a lot of girls used to wear basket jerseys just to show off the love they had for those basketball players. I was in high school during 2002 and 2006 so among these players was Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and of course Lebron James who rose to fame during these years so he did not stay behind, along with Carmelo Anthony. I even remember that the sex assault scandal with Kobe Bryant occur during this time and I remember they used to believe that he was innocent because he was "too hot to do such a thing"

so I always wondered why do women drool over basket players more than other athletes? is it because they are taller? or perhaps because they get paid more than other athletes?


outside of basketball I think Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were the only baseball players women use to drool over. I never seen the drool over other football players other than Tom Brady. I can't say so much about hockey because very few people here where I live follow hockey

That dude wearing the red cap looks like a thug, huge turn off. I don't really like basketball players, or any athlete. I do like to watch gymnasts or swimmers during the Olympics, they have nice bodies.

[CasaNorba]

that's Allen Iverson. he played for the Philadelphia 76ers during his prime, he achieved a lot of popularity in 1998 and beyond because he crossed Michael Jordan in one of his games.

I remember girls in my high school had polar opposite views to yours. they used to wear his jerseys left to right, owned most of his shoes and even went as far as braiding their hair like him

Probably because they're tall and basketball is seen as a cool sport

But in my case I am not into athletes at all. Never was. Never will be.

[Bandit74]

They are the tallest and richest compared to orher sports. They're also predominantly black which is associated with having a big dick so it's not all that surprising lots of women would be into them.

Girls tend to be into whatever the number one sport in your area is.

Like drive an hour outside of the city where I am, and 90% of the girls are into hockey players.

[derek2017]

I dont think they drool over basketball players more so than swimmers, the only thing that basketball players have that makes them hot to women is their height, other than that they have nothing while swimmers have huge backs which make them hot to women!

[CasaNorba]

I would never say I disagree but for some odd reason no woman here were I'm from have drooled over Michael Phelps or at least they did a good job a keeping it a secret.

come to think about it they probably dont actually find basketball players that attractive to begin with. they probably just flock to basketball players because basketball itself is a trendy sport and they feel like partaking in it will give them something to brag about

[derek2017]

Yes it has a lot to do with bragging about their husband or their date! But I also think it has a lot to do with their height, like theyre tall and strong make them feel small and weak therefore they have a submissive and dominant relationship (not only in bed, but in general!)

[derek2017]

and herefore make them (women) feel*

[derek2017]

hereby not herefore sorry im just dyslexic!

[JaneDoe377]

Couldn't tell you. I don't care about athletes or any celebrity no matter how attractive they may be. They just don't matter.

[more_than_a_guy]

It's just a USA thing, because it's the most dominant sport there and where the most money is from. Also the height, but it's not the real factor, more like a bonus.

[pigoat]

Yet i bet more women who comment on this question will disagree with that statement

[Dave31989]

they're generally taller.. they like tall men. makes them feel protected

[Graci_e]

Girls love all the rugby players where I live haha

[Graci_e]

I mean look at this 🥵 https://images.app.goo.gl/yyXu94p55F11yqkS8

[CasaNorba]

then I guess it is a trend thing.

though I have lots of respect for them rugby players, its like those guys are made of steel. they get tackled from every fucking angle and they dont use any pads or armor like the football players here do. of course nfl football not soccer.

[Graci_e]

Yeah they’re definitely tough and pretty hot too.

But to be fair, nfl players get pretty roughed up too so I don’t blame them for wanting to have a little protection.

The amount of footy players with injuries though. Most guys have played rugby in their life, and I barely know one adult man who has played it and doesn’t have some sort of a life-long injury.

[JennieF]

Do we?

[CasaNorba]

action speaks louder than words. back in high school and even till this day I see women wearing basketball jerseys from left to right. and even talking about it themselves
