ever date runner dudes

runner chicks are nice (as long as they're not too skinny) but personally i like something to grab hold of so i'm partial to the "bigger boned" ladies. but in the end personality is what really matters.

I also prefer the skinny runner guy to the puffy frat boy. I think the simple look is much classier I can't stand men with highlights and fake tans. To me running is a worthwhile and healthy pursuit and that's very, very attractive especially if they're smart, which I find most are. Beach volleyball doesn't cut it for me.

Don't worry guys. One of the many great things about running is that it takes years off you. When you get to your late 20s and 30s (and beyond) and you're still slim and healthy there'll be no shortage of female admirers. I'm 38 in two weeks time and I'm in better shape than most guys half my age. That's not a boast, it's a fact (which is a bit sad really...)

A couple of examples:

I was at a school reunion last summer and was given a lovely ego boost thanks to all the postive comments I had about my appearance. Most of the guys from my year looked so overweight and out of shape it was scary (even those that were studs back in the day).

A few months ago I played a game of football (soccer) with all the guys at my work while most of the women came along and watched. Apart from the fact that I managed to run rings round nearly everyone (including lads that reckon they are fit as they play twice a week) in the pub afterwards one of the girls came up to me and said that they had voted me 'sexiest legs'. Not bad for an old guy :)

When you are a teenager you get yourself stressed about all sorts of things, especially the opposite sex. You always think everyone else is more attractive than you are. You think everyone else is having a better time than you are. But, they're not. They're just as insecure as you are.

So, relax. Being fit and healthy is attractive. (So is being polite and friendly.) Your time will come!

I dated a runner guy too. For a long time. His legs were better than mine, which kind of hurt my self-confidence. However, he's a f*cking nut-job!

i dated a runner for almost two years. i actually liked his body a lot (he wasn't too skinny) but he turned out to be on the crazy side so i let him go. they can't all be bad though...at least i hope not.

My ex-girlfriend thought I was too skinny and she was a runner too...but came from a team with a couple of fat asses for distance runners. Ah, what a broad!

I have dated almost nothing but runner guys. They are almost always smart, independent and driven. They always have dark tans and great abs. Granted, their legs may be on the thin side, but it is obvious that it is because they put in so many miles. There is a huge difference between a naturally bone thin guy that sits around and smokes all day, and a guy that is that way because of his sport. When you look at the whole package, it is actually quite nice.

Also, they always understand if you have to get in bed early on Saturday night for a long run the next morning. I can't think about much to complain about unless they are part of a really immature college team, because that has a way of rubbing off on them.

After many years of dating women who aren't runners, I'm now dating a woman who runs like 35 miles a week and it's great. Not only is her body in shape (she describes herself as "bendy runner girl" which can't be bad), but she's compatable life-style wise. She understands when I have to be careful about eating and want to go to bed early or get up early to go for a run. A former girlfriend got pissed off if I got up in the morning to go for a run.

That said, my advice for college guys is to date swimmers, not runners. To be a very competitive woman runner means having not much of a body. Collegiate swimmers, on the other hand, can be very fit and very strong and still look and feel like a woman. They also tend to be very shaved, as well, which has it's own associated fun.

One of the female runners at my school, whose also on the crew team, hooked up with 3 guys on the crew team at the same time, while the other guys on the team watched and took pics on a digital camera. True story i saw pictures, shes smoking hot too, blonde hair, tan, amazing body, beautiful ass, too bad shes such a slut.

1)I would say that most of the time guy runners are more tan without fake baking like some of those frat boys.

2) Most of them still know how to party with the best of them.

3) Not all of them are 5"8" and 130. I myself am 6'"2 and 155.

4) Most guy runners will be some of the most spontaneous, energetic, real, and laid back people you will ever meet.

5) It seems to me that most runners girls are either the team slut, or they are snobby and self absorbed.

Prove me wrong ladies....

dated a runner for three years. skinny which i like. always tired. obsessed over food. that i didn't.

OF COURSE! Because there is nothing else a woman can be! She is either a slut or a bitch! Ain't that right!!!

are there guys out there who are obsessed about their food?? that is strange.

Although stay away from the married runners. I was at Hood to Coast this year, watching several female groupies swoon over the same world class athlete. That was the real competition, watching them compete for his attention. I just laughed because men wont leave a good thing. You see it alot in running clubs too, runners bond but that is crossing the line. I learned the hard way.

I hear you, I run for a club and others peoples husbands who run do not seem to be off limits. Male runners are hot though, hard bodies and hornier than non runners.

I absolutely agree w/ your #4, Lanky

My big thing is that most girls will complain that the average guy is not romantic and not looking for committment and blah, blah, blah. When you find a girl that you like enough that you really go all out for and treat right, they know they have you by the nuts and will cheat on you or walk all over you. It seems like a lot of assholes are having more fun than nice guys...well, its straight asshole from here on out...bitches!!!!!

my ex was so obsessed with running and being good that our sex had to be the same time each day and he wouldn't do anything two days before a race. He may be a good runner, but what a loser!
