Question for all you girl/women athletes...?

Hey i dont feel insecure i play 4 sports and they are all masculine (basketball, rugby, track and swimming) I dont care because i know that all those skinny girls aint got nothing on me. I especially hate when like they sit around and dont participate in gym, I like guys like you, you're prolly a sweet person. So good luck i think you have an awesome tastes in chicks,peace . =]

OOOOOOOHHhhh my gosh! I totally understand!!! Up until very recently I have been training very hard for marathons competitively. The only thing that really held me back was by body type. I have a Swimmers physique - broad shoulders slim hips and muscular. This became quite an issue cos muscle is dense and weighs heavier, so therefore when running 26.2 miles you are carrying extra weight. My training partner is like a 'rake' and so are all of my other friends of similar ability level. When picking up a trophy at the race and comparing yourself to others including men and your muscles are bigger then their tiny ectomorph frames. Yes it does hurt and I kinda felt outa place. I went out with this guy 'pencil dick' who is competing at world trials for 10k and I was like 2 stone heavier. It wasnt fat just because of my muscular build. After coming back from the malta marathon i decided with my trainer to start training for triathlons where I am starting to use my build to my advantage.

I now feel comfortable about my appearance because I am surronded by people of similar build in this sport.

Now I can honestly say that I feel feminine again. I think its sad sumtimes how society portrays body images .

I know some girls are insecure but i really dont know why. I am a gymnast and i am not afraid to show it. Different sports turn out to have different body types (gymnastics means big thighs). Maybe she is more insecure with what she has become of the sport with her body but honestly I think ppl should be proud of what they have worked for

I don't feel so insecure about it. I really enjoy being more athletic than other girls because I enjoy what I do! I swim, run, walk, play basketball, and soccer. I am happily and physically fit. I wouldn't call myself "hot". I don't like my facial appearance. But my body is SOO DAMNNN SEXY! Not to brag or anything. I have soooo much character and personality. But I never knew it came from sports and physical activity! Thanks! I hope I helped! =)

i dont feel insecure at all! i luv sports! and im not gonna change just for some guy! where i live, girls that play sports are the more popular ones. ha! so, to answer your question, GIRLS SHOULDNT FEEL INSECURE CUZ OF SPORTS!

Just depends on the girl, and how she thinks. Every body is different with their own opinions. Simple.

Just chipping my two cents worth as another guy who likes fit, athletic women. Go athletes!!!!

where i live, athletes are way more popular and obviously in shape than everyone else. YEAH TEAM!
