Best and worst reasons to date a track guy

Touche

best, stamina

worst, constantly being compared to other girl runners and constant emphasis put on you by him to keep an anorexic looking body so you can look just as good as those girls he is always comparing you to.

best is that he has an amazing body, worst is the constant pressure to also look as good. of course i want to look good, but its hard to beat when you are dating a guy who is a twig and everyone constantly puts pressure on you to be as skinny as your boyfriend, and if you arent, you are fat.

personally ladies, its good to NOT be anorexic looking, some extra "body" is just wonderful, it gets very old looking at emaciated girls, a little extra is very welcome in my book, but maybe thats just me??

You gotta get a new boyfriend or some new friends. Any one who acts like that isn't worth anything in my book.

1. Always takes a good warmup

2. Always does an adequate cooldown

3. Enjoys lapping others

4. Always concerned about being able to keep up

5. Unlike sprinters, doesn?t think 10 seconds is a great performance

6. Can do repeats with short rest intervals

All track guys aren't like that. Speaking as a guy, I often had to contend with the opposite - my girlfriend, who I thought was just fine the way she was, kept comparing herself to my teammates. Ironically, she was a swimmer who could literally swim circles around me.

The hardest part was when she would get inexplicably grumpy when I ecstatically announced I was at racing weight (145). I found out months later that was because then I weighed less than she did. I just thought it was funny.

We never talked about the stamina issue - when we were both training for our respective sports, we'd end up falling asleep on the couch by 10:00.

Ten seconds! That reminds me of the nickname our school's best 100 / 200 guy was given by women in the know:

"The Two Pump Chump"

Yeah, my boyfriend and I are both runners and he put a lot of pressure on me to 'look like a runner'. Although I know I have a good body, it's never good enough for him. That's the worst thing about dating MY runner. (sorry, i know not all of you are like that!)

Guys! They want big tits AND an emaciated body! You can't have both!

One thing that sucks about dating my guy is that he is good, really good and he knows it. I support him and love seeing how much he has grown into the sport, but him knowing that he is so good almost has given him the idea that he is 'too good for me'. And that just sucks. I also run, but I'm not at the level he is and he is sure to let me know that as soon as he gets around the girls that are at his competitive level. Sounds like I'm not the only one who has issues with this problem though! We need to tell our guys whats up!

XC Girl, leave your guy and find someone nicer, like me. I'm good too, but I'd never use that as leverage against my girlfriend.

Just noticed you used the term "sucks"... twice.

Hey Wojo, Bojo, Jojo, hobo... you freakin pussy - whats the matter? hahahaha

Well, guys can have a woman with an emaciated body and big tits, but it is a rare occurence. But if any guy compares his girlfriend to a runner, that's just not right. A guy needs to be with a woman they enjoy being with, don't matter size, shape or color. Anyways, woman in general are gods gift to this earth and if I ever land me one, I will be the happiest man alive (lol). Yeah, ladies, if your man has the nerve to insult you like this, ditch 'em. They would be just as happy staring at themselves in the mirror than looking at your beautiful figure.

Alright ladies, I've put in my two cents, good luck with your men.
