On a scale of 1-10, I’d say its about a 2 in terms of how attractive it is.
I think it’s more impressive to other guys than it is to women.

It all boils down to what your personality is like and also whether or not there’s chemistry.
My metal is bronze {because the color is nice and when I touch it}, my gas is ozon {cause it fills the air when the thunderrain is done}, and my fluid is water {because it is water}.
I hope you are doing well.
Are you?
Confidence is the number 1 trait girls look for initially. If you are here posting that, that's all you need to know.

In the United States you are in the minority if you are not obese. This is particularly true into ages like 40, 50, and 60. Before that some guys are still in shape without being too far gone thanks only to being young and playing organized youth sports. Those people balloon up as they age. But then after your 60s morbidity becomes an issue, so people start getting smaller.
So good luck with your football sweetheart when you get into your 40s and beyond when he's just eating horrible food every Sunday and then glorifying every other opportunity to eat horrible food and sit around. The most exercise that guy will get is standing in front of a hot grill and sweating out his beer.
"Dad bod" might be a social media craze right now, but just being in decent shape is classic and never loses appeal.
Ask Usain Bolt, he's fast and I think he does well with women.
Here is the only advantages I have found that running gives you with women:
1. In HS and college there is a girls team. This at least puts you in contact with girls. The advantage comes in that these are girls that value what you are good at. Women always want to be with the guy that is important/the best/the leader. If they are runners and you are a good runner they will see you have SOME value and that will make you more attractive to this one group of girls.
2. It keeps you fit. As you age your male friends will mostly turn into large tubs of goo. If you keep running you will be fit, while they look like garbage. Women will find this attractive.
3. Going to group runs/races places you in social circles with women, so at the very least it's a common thing to discuss initially so you have an "in" to chat her up.

What y’all are saying is not wrong, but here’s the problem:
Most successful guys aren’t going to let themselves go. They might get a little overweight in their 20s, but they’ll lose it. Most will start running slow, slow 10ks with their kids, some will start running half-marathons, and a few might even run fulls. So they’ll head into their 30s and 40s getting fitter, while you’re getting slower and less fit (simply due to age). People will notice them losing weight and getting fit, and at best you’ll just remain the same.
The cliche that the successful jock in high school ends up fat or like Uncle Rico is usually wrong. Successful people tend to remain successful on the whole. There are exceptions, of course.
The other thing I’ve found is that most women really don’t care that a guy is super fit. They want a guy to be athletic and reasonably fit, but they don’t care if you run a 13:38 5k or a 19:38 5k. If you work out more than 30 minutes a day, it’s probably doing you very little good in the attract women department unless you’re looking for a woman who’s pretty vapid.
Focus on running for running’s sake, not for women. If you want women, running doesn’t hurt, but all that really matters is that you’re not terrible. Instead, focus on succeeding in life skills that make you a better mate: wealth, health (general fitness), social skills, kindness, empathy, cordiality, fun.
Confidence is important, but arrogance is a huge deterrent. Know the difference because people can smell arrogance from a mile away.

Well, sure. That, and having a fat wallet and immense social standing...and apparently a less-than-skinny bod.

I worked very hard in University and ever since; yes it’s true that socioeconomic standing is important, because I want someone who makes at least as much money as I do.
My fiancé is not a runner; he hates running, but he lifts weights 5 times per week and he is damn sexy, much more so than any of my runner friends. (And thankfully, he doesn’t have a beard.) ?

That graph doesn't reference women anywhere. It says 'people'.
Women care way more about personality than the average guy, be assured of that.
As I said, initially confidence will attract a girl, along with apparent social standing and/or people seen to want to be around you. Being able to make her laugh is important as well or she will get quickly bored of you, and being interesting/intelligent. This constitutes 'personality'. Also looks will be important in preceding all of this, but you could get past that and appear more attractive if you get the time and opportunity to show these other traits I mentioned.
Money/being able to provide might become more important as the woman in question gets older, but I'm guessing you are in HS or college so it's not so important now.
On a track team, being faster will get you noticed. All else equal, it's obviously not a disadvantage to be faster. Are the girls still going to like the rich douche who looks like an Amercrombie model regardless? Of course. 100% of the time.

Hey, we want that too.. we work hard and want chicks who not only earn at least as much as we do, but also don't expect US to spend DISPROPORTIONATELY on them. That's what this is about.

No surprise... the dude sounds just like me in those ways, although he won't have as much experience.
@kittygirl above is right. This is one activity where the status is generated in the eyes of peer-group males only. Not women.
As for rich douches, of course, because we all know that women hate doing honest work for honest coin and even more, they hate actually being expected to contribute.
John Utah said: Are you a difficult person? Why are you saying guys need to exert so much effort to “understand” you?
she didn't say that it was difficult to understand her, nor that it would take a lot of effort to do so. what she said was that she would appreciate a guy who took the effort required to understand her, unlike you, who couldn't be bothered to understand her simple post.
cheers.

Money and status are the most important things to women, and in the USA status is almost always exclusively tied to money, so they are virtually one in the same.
Money and status of women means virtually nothing to men. If choosing between the low born hot bartender or plain looking unattractive Harvard PhD from a rich family, the guy will almost always chose to the hottie.
Lots of hot women will hook up with a dumpy idiot of a man if he's rich because he can take care of her and her children will live nice comfortable lives, for example see our current first family.
