Do you prefer dating runners or non runners?

try both

Depends on if they're on the same team or not.

Dating runners is cool because they understand you alot better. But if you're dating a teammate then you're just looking for trouble. Never mix business and pleasure. You'll be brining a combustive mixture into your training atmosphere.

non-runners are cool because they allow you to get outside of the normal routine. However, they don't understand you very well and it can be annoying.

I'd date the runner, unless she's a teammate, then the non-runner for sure.

go with the runner... i always appreciated having someone who knew what i was going through and understood it all. it is almost too annoying and frustrating to be with a non-runner, trying to explain yourself... even if they are willing to learn about it, they never fully understand it.

plus, who's hotter? who's friendlier? who can you see yourself with for awhile?

:)

My response to this is that I tend to get injured a lot and I think (I'm just being honest) that it would really wear on me if my significant other was a runner who was constantly running well.

Now is this a runner or a ruuuuuunnnnnnnnneeeeeerrrrrr. Notice how long it took me to type the second time of runner, just how it takes them forever to finish a race. Meaning do they run simply run on the team for fun or take it seriously? I wouldn't have a problem dating someone who is just there, they are basically a glorified fitness enthusiast.

Are you fast or not? The non runner will think your PR is fast, even if its 4:55 1600m. She'll be easier to impress

While I am glad to see people trying to help me, I would like the answers to stray away from helping me. I just want to know your guy's overall experience with dating nonrunners vs. runners.

Hopefully by reading and digesting what you guys have inputed, I will consider some of it to my choice. :)

Good responses so far.

Well if I were girl I don't see any reason to date a good runner. Skinny as f***, nerdy, generally poor, often pale looking like a zombie, and - contray to popular belief - can't last some godly amount of time in bed like we like to claim we do. One thing we do have is small penises from being bunched into short shorts all day though. :tup

As a guy runner I think just the same about girls. They're way too skinny and the anorexicness turns me off. A hurdler on my team tried to lay the moves on me, but I wasn't interested seeing that she had the body of an 11 year old.

Runners. Nothing is hotter than a post-run makeout session. Sweaty and full of endorphins. ;)

Dude that's where you and me differ I'll take whatever I can get, as long as the chick isn't bigger than me, that just creeps me out.

Most chicks are bigger than me.

So I don't go out much

cept with men.

el bumpo

has to be a runner as they understand the demands of training etc and we have something in common. However many top guys dont have time for relationships on top of 120 mpw pounding the roads for glory. Tough at the top afraid!

non-runner women occasionally have natural DD breasts....you make the call.

I just prefer women who "get it." I've known non-runners who are or have been intense about other things, and they totally understand it. I've also dated recreational marathoners who were borderline hostile toward my activity. At least with other competitive runners, you know that they'll understand.
