Dude, she posted it on her public forum for the specific reason of drawing attention to herself. And now you are comparing that to repeating something someone said to another person? Those are both private conversations as it is.
Summary:
- Guy tried to be funny, but read the audience wrong.
- Molly is super smug. Likely partially a reason why she is single.
- Molly needs a PR manager to adjust her charisma to be more likeable. This isn't uncommon for new celebrities or necessarily a "bad" thing.
- Dating and socializing a lot more outside the world of running or with less smug people would probably help her out a lot. Surrounding herself in circles where she is "olympic medalist, best American runner" and not much else isn't exactly the best environment to build social skills that help in building good relationships.
- The citius mag podcast/interview is soooo cringy, especially when it gets to listener questions. The nature of that segment sets the interviewee up to come across as self important, feeding her things like naming the mt. rushmore of beer or asking for dating life updates, in a serious tone. The natural tendency is to respond in ways that feel witty and hip, but most often such responses come across as self important or smug. Late night talk show hosts have both mastered the way to conduct interviews to prevent the guests coming across this way, along with mastering the ability to present themselves as not being smug or self-important. They do this by keeping things funny, and if not funny, then at least REALLY fun. The citius people need to improve on this aspect, and as does Molly, to avoid the trap of falling into cringy self importance/seroiusness.
Everyone is laughing at you incel crybabies.

She is not a celebrity. Hardly anyone knows who she is. This happens all the time on this forum where people think any runner not named Usain Bolt is even remotely famous in the world or US. This is because LRs are in their own running bubble. Hardly anyone cares about distance running and it's only watched scarcely once every 4 years. I would bet less than 1 in 10,000 people know who she is and probably not even 1 in 1,000 have even heard of Kipchoge.

She is likely a celebrity in the circles she runs in - and I suspect that can be problematic for most people.
I think that you hit upon something important here. Distance running generally appears to insular types and, if she’s not introspective to begin with, she probably has no clue. Any criticism, constructive or otherwise, probably comes across to her as sexism from the patriarchy. The bubble she lives in will keep her immature and conceited until real life kicks in. In this respect, she’s just an unremarkable professional athlete.
Is this a running board or a men's rights convention?
Conservatively, I'd estimate that Molly Seidel can run faster than 99% of the men on planet Earth, and probably 95% of the incels here in LR. She's a fierce competitor who has proven herself to be the most elite, so her snarky reply seems totally fine to me. And if you have heard that joke a million times before, it's prob pretty old at this point
Get a grip you ding dongs! Most of you wouldn't have been able to post something that funny or run as fast as her either

Again, 50K+ like her post vs. 8 angry guys on here don't: scoreboard.
Summary: you're a bloviating clown
a me too case?
not so sure of her ability on like 50-400 meters.
the guy cud have a background in sports n churn out a good sprint or even a sub 60 sec 400 m.
not sure what molly cud muster out on a one lap track but it shudnt be sooo much below 60...
sad that she didnt get the playfulness of this guy.

I don't find her to be even remotely funny. Why do you think she's funny?
geez your are insufferable...
you're the "well actually....." guy.

So when comedians share funny quips about nonsense that happened to the them in the grocery store… that’s bad?
I am truly trying to understand the pearl clutching here. The convo was anonymized. No privacy violated.
It struck a chord with many people (see: this thread). What’s the big deal? are people not allowed to share things that happened in their life that they found funny, interesting, exemplary, etc.

She has 209k Instagram followers. So a conservative estimate is that at least 1 in 1500 people in the US know who she is.
You are just on a rollllll today.
You are fine to not enjoy her, her running, her personality, her humor, whatever bro.
But claiming she did something ethically (morally??) wrong is just f**king stupid and embarrassing.
I understand you need the moral high-ground to justify your, otherwise inexplicable, dislike for this successful American women… but at least try present an IQ > 70.

Care to explain how you arrive at your numbers?

Any decent "D3 guy" is faster than female olympians, so you still must be pretty darn fast.

330,000,000 / 209,000 = 1500
People usually “know of” someone when they follow them on Instagram. Obviously I am assuming a vast majority of here followers are from the US … which seems reasonable.
Come on this ain’t that hard.

So let’s turn tables. Why are you so invested in defending her? If it’s all angry incels attacking her, why are you prolonging the thread?
I have no real beef with her other than she seems to be involved in some weird interactions and I believe it is likely that she is misrepresenting them. If she lies about this stuff, what else is she lying about?
Sorry the above post was my alt I use for trolling stupid LRC posters. Forgive the mix up.

I was more talking to AP5000 who was insisted she breached some moral boundary. I don’t care if you don’t like her or think she’s an attention seeker, blah blah blah.
Of course you can think those things. But to run around claiming she’s a bad person or doing something wrong is is kind of baseless nonsense (trolling, hopefully) that I enjoy calling out.
I also take slimy joy in seeing LRC icels spinning to justify their irrational hate. So poking them gives me a nice reward :)
