:eek:
There’s a thread in here about controlling spontaneous boners. Post your comment there. It works!
I always thought I was unusual in liking women who run. It is not why I run, but it is a bonus. (I am glad to know that I seem to pass SusanStoHelit’s creep filter. )
I’ve always thought it was because women having fun are sexy; athletic women are sexy, and the combination of the two is that much more so. (A woman running who is not enjoying herself is probably not sexy. I tend to only know runners who like to run.) But maybe there is something to the red cheeks, sweaty body, etc. theory. I did know a guy that loved to watch sprinters, because he thought it looked like they were close to an orgasm.
C’mon, this is simple! The sight of a running woman triggers the male pursuit instinct. Duh!
Are you sure you didn’t mean to put that in the “how do I stop an erection” thread?
Let me tell you that while running girls are hot, weightlifting girls are hotter and girls that are into into MMA…sweet Christ.*
- I should like to point out that MMA stands for “Mixed Martial Arts” and not whatever you thought it did.
Beaten to the punch (by three hours). Dammit. Second time today.
Fit women are hot. You think I’m checking out your boobs, but I’m looking at your legs, doll. 
I do all my exercises inside now on a treadmill, because I am ashamed of anyone looking at me. Also, as someone mentioned, the sports bras just don’t quite do it for me, and 38Ds are tough buggers to tie down. I’ve considered duct tape.
I never seem to know if the glances are appreciative, leering, or sneering. But I have some self esteem issues and I think I look like a monster.
I’d be more comfortable if, when I’m out exercising, people would mind their own business. Not everyone feels this way, it’s my issue, and because I’m uncomfortable, I stay inside.
Oh, yes. You’re absolutely hideous. 
Erg.
I feel like this when I go out in public, though.
I’m with slortar. I think you’re model-beautiful.
Sexy!
I used to date a guy who insisted on running with me for this reason.
The upside of excersise is that it increases your sexual drive. So, for me at least, the more i run…the more willing i am.
In 1960? :dubious:
Next week: Bicyclists!
My daughter and I recently started running together (OK walking and running we’re not as fit as we’d like) I’ll just walk out the front door and to the sidewalk and walk/jog but not my daughter. When we go out we have to drive a couple miles to a different neighborhood that has a nice running path through the woods because she doesn’t want to run on the street where she might be seen. :rolleyes: I have to agree that I like the path. No traffic except for other exercisers and it’s pretty.
So, when I walk with hubby we walk in our neighborhood, when I jog with daughter we drive to the other side of the interstate to her friend’s neighborhood. Now, if I could just keep this up with any sort of consistancy maybe I’d lose some of this extra ass I’ve got hanging around.
Anyway for those of you who find exercising women sexy, how do you feel about slightly out of shape women running/walking. Are we still sexy? Yes, ponytails and sweat are still part of the picture.
Anastasaeon I think you’re cute but I know what it feels like to not be able to see what everyone else sees. Rest assured that we’re not all completely blind.
You’ve got a right to your own opinion, of course, and as an ogre, I certainly sympathize with low self-esteem. But I’ll say this, “monster”. You can chase me around a backyard anytime.
@velvetjones: Yes, absolutely. My wife is on the, er, less small side, and I adore seeing her gardening in dirty jeans, ancient sweatshirt, and ponytail. rowr.
Yep.
Ah. I think girls on bicycles must not be so cute, yes?
au contraire!
Call me cute, will ya?
*runs *Ethilrist ** down with her bike
Nyah! 
Hmm. This is sorta related, so I’ll bring it up because I find it interesting. I run every day, and I’ve noticed for years that a great number of people take a disconcerting interest in runners. I’m not talking about a casual glance, which would probably go unnoticed. I’m talking about slowing down so that they can leer properly; pulling over and loitering until I pass; or seeing the same car pass twice.
I’m a guy. I look like one and dress like one, so I can’t for the world explain the freakish curiosity, mostly from other guys. I generally shrug it off and think that unless they plan to run me over, they aren’t much of a danger to me. But I would have to imagine that women would be seriously uneasy, and rightfully so.
