Women don't want a fast distance guy because:
(1) He's so obsessive about his nutrition and training that he won't know how to relax, drink margaritas, have enough energy for sex, or in any way be an enjoyable partner to have.
(2) He is skinny, probably short as well. Women want to cuddle with a tall, muscular quarterback, not a bony twerp. They also don't want a guy who makes them look fat.
(3) No one cares about the fact that he can run 5 kilometers in a fast time. That's not considered "athleticism" to any normal person. Usually it's considered compensation for the fact that you can't hack it at any real sport.
(4) Fast distance runners are usually poor. They **** about having to pay $15 dollars for a race even though they're getting a t-shirt, orange slices, tokens to the beer garden and a Trek Madone road bike for getting 1st place.
(5) Fast distance runners are socially underdeveloped due to their solitary hobby.
I always chuckle at these threads
They never fail to bring out all the self-loathing runner types
at least 225lb. two plates on each side looks badass.

Exactly. Most of these guys would rather feel sorry for themselves than realize that there ARE girls who are attracted to guys who are passionate about, dedicated to and really good at something. It's hot. No, it's not going to be hot to everyone, and it's not going to be hot to anyone if you keep up the self-loathing, but if you own it you will meet chicks who dig it.

He asked what's needed to impress MOST girls, not a few emaciated female wannabe-runners.

I read the original post, but if taken literally the question it poses is ridiculous. If a guy is really to have his pick of MOST women, he basically needs to be a celebrity.
However, it's also ridiculous to say that a good male runner can only get "a few emaciated female wannabe-runners", and that is the (incorrect, self-pitying) prevailing sentiment to which I was responding.

The question, in less polite terms, is: How fast does a guy have to run a 5k if he wants to screw a new cute girl every week-end without too much stress?
Girls, and most people in general, don't care what your PRs are. However, I have known lots of runners slower and faster than you who had attractive, classy wives and girlfriends. You need to be outgoing, positive, willing to try new things, and have goals in life other than getting faster to attract a high quality girl.

Most girls get a little moist at sub 17, once you're sub 15 it's like a god d*mn water park.
heres what you need to do as a runner to get women
if you are skinnyfat, it doesnt matter if you are a good runner.. supplement your training with alot of abwork/P90X until you have at least passable abs (4/6 pack)
Do some upper body work, who gives a sh*t if it doesnt help your 5k. You're not Galen Rupp or Geb, so get in that weight room and do some pecs/biceps/shoulders/tris.
Women like a guy who looks good with his shirt off, you can still be fairly skinny and a good runner and pull this off, dont be a twig.
Most women dont give a damn/know anything about running, but if you are exceptionally good and prove it this could help. Women like guys who are good at something but obviously football/basketball/baseball carry more weight than jogging around a track for 30 minutes.
The rest is all about social skills/socioeconomic standing - you guys have to figure that out for yourself

What letsrunner has said that is attractive?
I doubt anyone actually said that a pre-pubescent looking Hasay was attractive, it was more of a joke, I think.
I laughed!

They are always guys on here saying that. Just search for any thread on her. Man, I hope none of those guys are older than 14 or 15, or we have a lot of pervs on this site.
I'm a girl and a runner and I really don't care what your 5k time is in terms of being sexually interested in you. Obviously anything fast enough to win is impressive, but women are actually interested in weather or not you have a sense of humour/nice personality/well educated etc.

In my experience this^^ is the correct answer. My girlfriend is impressed that I have dedication and willing to work hard at something, not that my PRs are fast. She's more interested in my intelligence, thoughts on things, and how I make her feel.
Faster than u i guess
Hmmm. I'm 18, run sub 15, win a lot of medals. I'm well educated, tall and quite muscled. But still there are no hot girls interested... What's wrong with me? Am I a social creep, or extremely ugly? Who's gonna say it?
