I am male 5'10" and 135. Girl who was friend of mine who was studying abroad with me in business grad school basically told me indirectly that because she weighs more than me (140lbs), that I'm too small for her, She is a tall Latin girl with a great body, not fat at all. This is for real. I'm not a troll. And so at the time I was offended by this so being kind of an idiot, I actually proceeded to defriend her on facebook because I was pretty pissed about it, but then she requested me back so i accepted.... so i think she must not understand that I choose to be somewhat light because I am a runner. She was already taken with her boyfriend when she gave me this "girl advice" but she was giving me girl advice in general while we were all on a train ride to Prague, Czech Republic because the other girl in my study abroad grad class (a girl who wanted to hook up with me from India) suggested that I need to gain weight. I wasnt crazy about the India girl the way I am about the Latin one. The india girl would accept me for being thin but the Latin one wouldnt.
This is just crazy because if this rule applies universally, all of us long distance runners are limited to only a small pool of women since women in general are getting fatter than ever. Now I know that's generally a good thing to be limited cuz you dont want someone who is fat, but are we getting screwed? Also, society's image of an ideal Alpha man good with the ladies is fatter than ever so man, it must really suck to be a distance runner???
