Ok this is both a question to the running ladies out there and a poll to see if other guys have had similar experiences. I have never dated another runner and even when I've talked to runners on things like dating apps, it never seems to work. I've always found this odd because running has been really important to me and something I'm super interested in but when connecting with women based on this, it just never seems to go anywhere. What's weird is I've had solid relationships with women who used to run (either in high school or college) but gave it up and it's a nice early connection to build on. But this just never seems to happen when I'm talking to a chick who's chasing a BQ or OTQ and is actually into running in a way that, I think at least, should line up better with how I'm interested in running.
So, is it me? Has anyone else found running is kind of a brick wall shared interest with their partner? I'll also add that I was never into dating teammates, which may actually be the best way to have a running-centric relationship. Or is it?!?! Sound off in the comments!
Do you discuss politics with them?
