Girls? Would you sooner date a football player or a cross country runner?

Just, in general. Which is more appealing? Personally, I'm all for the football players. xD But my friend and I have been arguing over this for a while, and I was wondering what you guys thought.

Update:

@vball fan 101: xDDDDD That's not me! I'm a girl. xD That's Tim Urban :)

    I run cross country, so I think I'd be more likely to date one than a football player. Then again, I'm in no position to pass up any guy ;)

    Cross-country runner, for sure.

    Sure the football player is probably a hunk, and a huge mass of muscles, and popular to boot- i've met a lot who only care about their appearance(well when I was a teen i did).....

    BUT the cross country runner is probably more down to earth, will still have a stellar body, usually still has a brain in their head, and i just feel they are more dedicated. Cross country running is hard. I used to be a runner- a long time ago-.

    I guess basically what I'm saying is : A guy with substance.

    Hmmm. Either for me. Because i love football players, but i RUN cross country so being a runner is definitley a plus :) my boyfriend does both by the way :D hahaa

    Personally, football players are stuck up, i never dated one. almost once tho. but i dated two cross country guys, my first relationship was 11 months with a cc guy, then this one im in now, he did cc his sophomore year and we've been dating 7 months :) cc guys just seem more promising then football players.

    Football player. Because I love football too. Common interest! Win. :)

    And they'd probably have more muscles.

    I'm not shallow. Really.

    Football player, but not if you're talking about American Football, because I mean the real football.

    really, it doesn't matter what you do (well, some things do but not these) it matters more the personality of the guy. but if i had to choose, football.

    Hmmm...I'm not biased or anything, but i love runners. There's just something about running... probably because i cant run. :P
