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?
If you're 18, then you're not well-educated.

Women don't want a fast distance guy because:
(1) he won't have enough energy for sex
(2) He is skinny, probably short as well.
(3) No one cares about the fact that he can run 5 kilometers in a fast time. That's not considered "athleticism"
Wow, good post.
But too much negativity. So what can OP do to impress the ladies? Here we go:
1. BULK up goddamnit. I'm talking serious LBS here. 20-30lbs in the first year is not unheard of. Big compound exercises, lots of meat and protein.
2. Drop all running
3. After you gained 20-30 lbs you may resume some sprinting, this will help you achieve the sought after RIPPED/SHREDDED look.
4. Look into supplements. Fish oil, vit D, protein, BCAA. You need every bit of help you can get to get BUFF.
Faster than the girl. She won't respect you if she can beat you at sports.

Sadly, I have to admit this is true. 2-3 minutes faster than me on the 5k, and at least my mileage if not higher.
In general, I can tell you how much girls appreciate dedication and hard work. I am so sick of hearing people at work saying they can't get up at 7 to go to the gym twice a week. You tell me you bust your a$$ every winter running at 5am, instant respect.
It's all relative. I watched and Oregon Ducks - Kansas meet once and the last place guy ran 14:50 and a woman sitting next to me said, "oh, I feel sorry for that guy!"
Show up at your local fun run and run 16:50 and win or be in the top 5 out of 500 or 1000 people and a runner would be seen as potential stud. Run 3:02 at some RnR marathon and definitely a rock star!
good stuff here...lengthy but good

I date a non runner. She's very hot'
Depends on if the girls in question are runners or non-runners:Non-runners: doesn't really matter, as long as you don't looking pitiable doing it (e.g., finishing last in a race, no matter WHAT the quality, more than once)Runners: helps to be faster than they are. Extra credit if you rank higher in the male pecking order than she does in the female pecking order, but not absolutely necessary. Chances are, she'll be damned glad to date someone who "gets" her.But, do it because you love it, not because chicks dig it.

The slower the better. Slow = heavier = more muscle. Bishes be mirin.
Be (or look like) a sprinter and look good in spandex (meaning big in the right places), and it doesn't matter how fast you are.
One thing to point out: runner types in high school have to compete with other people in shape like football players, hockey players, etc. By the time we hit our 30s, the football players are fat from years of beer and no exercise, while we runners still have six packs. We win.

The football and bball guys may still workout enough to not be fat. Then they win

I picked up a girl after winning a small local road race in about 17 flat. She wasn't really a runner so I think just the fact that I won impressed her and led to more conversation.
True...I'd say at least 30 seconds faster than 2nd place. If you can get through the finishers chute and have 5-10 seconds to turn around and cheer 2nd place then most girls notice.

But most don't work out enough.

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.
Some girls say this stuff but in all honesty it comes down to looks and/or money. This one may be an anomaly so I'll give her props for caring about who the guy is, but if you don't know by now money and a cute face/muscles is waft gets you the girl in a vast majority of cases.

This.
Women don't care about your "humor". They'll laugh at your jokes as long as you're a good-looking guy who makes attempts at humor.
"Nice personality" ....... lol! There is an inverse relation between niceness of personality and ability to attract women.
And women only care about whether you're "well educated" if you're rich. If you have a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from MIT and you're only making $90k/yr, no woman will care about whether you're educated. She'll go after the tall, handsome Business Major who took over his dad's company and makes $15mil/yr.
Bumping this because I want to see what modern letsrun thinks
Women have progressed on the evolutionary scale, just in the last 10 years. They like skinny, runner types, with a high IQ, who are well versed in large language models, and have bulges the size of a pregnant squirrel.
