Runners dating other Runners

Maybe you should stick to your runners and quit making racist comments about them

Ha, I only like to date runners, but they don't especially like dating me...

Now thats funny.

By the way.. Clint O'Neal is 310 lbs, not 300 lbs

Dating a runner is good because they understand the training and the sacrifices. However, if you are on a team, ie college, it sucks because the entire team knows whats going on with your relationship and gossips about it.....

No,from a man's perspective ,most female runners ars skinny ,bulimic self obsessed frigid bores

I'm surprised no one could think of any cons. What if she's much slower than you? Then each of you have to go on separate training runs, resulting in hours of time lost in activities together. I feel like my running is mine being married to a non-runner.

Also, runner girls, or any girls that play sports, are kind of gross--sweaty and smelly, tend to fart, belch, act like guys. Who wants that?

I also disagree that if a girl runs, she understands your mind. It seems that mostly girls run to keep the weight off. They really don't care about running necessarily, at least, not most of the time. Even if guys run to stay slim, I think they're more into the competitive component.

i was seeing a 45yr old woman and it was great!

Don't y'all just mean f u c k i n g? Does anyone really date anymore? If they do, the whole point is to f u c k anyway. Just say it.

And my \"Artist\" wife does\'nt understand?

don\'t be so self centered that \"nobody understands what it\'s like to be a runner\" B.S.

Cons:

1. No boobs

2. No ass.

3. Can't take a pounding in bed. Too skinny. If I can't bend you over and "grip it 'n rip it" from time to time I'm not interested.

4. Likes/Dislikes too similar. Nothing new to experience.

5. Too many similar OCD problems (Obsessive/Compulsive)

Date someone who works out, goes to the gym, maybe does a little running, but not a "runner" with the same OCD problems as you. That way you get a girl who had a nice body, has boobs, has enough meat on her bones to handle lots of hardcore sex and has enough different interests to keep things interesting between the two of you. I'm not saying date some fat chic, I'm staying away from that, cutting down, downsizing. I don't want to date the female equivalent of me....been there before, SCARY.

I think it is easier for a guy runner to date/marry a female non-runner than vice versa. Why???

I think that females, for the most part, understand different types of lifestyles more than most men.

I am married to a non-runner, who is now a very good runner (over 50 miles a week and a sub 3:35 marathon)who still considers herself a non-runner, but I digress from that whole story...

She understood my running before she began running. She understood the passion that I had for my running, etc. Many of my running friends have dated/married girls with similar understanding...

That said, most runner girls that I know who have tried to date non-runner guys have had disasterous relationships. Fights becasue she won't get drunk and party every night. Fights when she runs a miserable race after partying becasue he talked her into it and he doesn't care at all that she ran poorly.

Just an opinion...

I gues that I think more than runner/non-runner, it is the harmony of dating someone who has a passion for something... Too many people are just passing the time till they die, and they don't understand using the time to cultivate something...

"Also, runner girls, or any girls that play sports, are kind of gross--sweaty and smelly, tend to fart, belch, act like guys. Who wants that?"

In my experience, the best kind of girls to be in a relationship with act this way. (well, except for the smelly part, but everyone smells after they workout, and believe it or not most runner girls take showers like everyone else). They are the kind of girls who are fun, spontaneous, and don't give 2 s.... about what other people think about them. far better than someone who trys to be proper and mannered all the time when deep down inside they really want to let their guard down and show their real personality.

Although I don't think that all non-runners are this way, two that I dated drove me crazy about my running. They didn't like thinking that a girl was faster, so they kept trying to prove to me that they could run faster than I could. They'd ask to go on runs with me and then I'd have to slow down while pretending that they were doing a great job. One of them kept trying to get me to race distances of 50-100 meters. Otherwise they were nice guys, but I would never run with either of them again.

I think that having two people doing workouts at the same time but not together is fine. Would you rather your wife be shopping or eating fatty foods in front of the TV while you run?

See, this is the problem with some runners, so extreme in everything. Just because somebody isn't running a workout at the same time as you doesn't mean they are pigging out and watching TV. Some of us have found a great balance in moderation.

usually stay away from competative runners...too neurotic...all they think about is running...boring

if anything go with 9-10 minute miler chix...boobs, asses...fill out a pair of jeans like a mother f***er...

who gives a shit, as long as they take care of business outside their personal lives

Yeah Boy

That must of have been pschological torture , I have dated alot of runner chicks from beginning to elite that let me in the sack before they were married . Then again it all depends on the individual. Everyone is different !

Dating one now and if it doesnt work, I wont do it again. I think the only way it would work is if we were both equally dedicated to the sport. The problem I have is that my gf is a casual runner who doesnt seem to care much about it at all but always talks about all her running goals as if she is trying to impress me. It gets old after a while hearing her talk about how good she is going to be when Im out there busting my ass and she's out drinking with her friends. Before she got into running I didnt mind any of that, its just when she acts like she is "a runner," but slacks off all the time. I guess its insulting to me that she thinks she can be good at my sport without hard work. I know Im too hard on her, but I wouldnt be if she didnt pretend to be a runner.
