Wasn't this a loaded survey? Asking women at a cycling show if they find cyclists attractive?
ReplyDeleteand your point is.... :-p
ReplyDelete=v= I am shocked! SHOCKED! that the surveyed women were apparently not positive football or rugby as a romantic experience.
ReplyDelete@Grendel - Wet blanket!
ReplyDelete@Andrew - Yes.
@Jym - In college I shared a duplex with a couple of women who were cheerleaders for a local rugby team. Their evening romantic encounters were very loud.

ReplyDeleteThat's not a fair comparison. Maybe more women simply prefer doing things to watching other people do things.
It also seems unfair to compare participants of one sport to spectators of another. That's like saying "Men who regularly go to the gym are sexier than men who regularly go to the bar, proving that women prefer running on a treadmill to enjoying a few drinks with their friends."
I only date boys who bike.
ReplyDeleteAnd it has happened without really tryin.
