Hallelujah! Distance runners are more likely to have stronger sex drives, more sperm, intelligence and generosity!

Well, looking at the starting line of a 100m final, or decathletes, I'd say no to the 'superior' sperm count/sex drive of distance runners.

They nailed me.

And they tend to be delusional, too.

How about this study?

Academic Paper Correlates Economic Growth With Penis Length

Wasn't there a thread on this a week or so ago? You know, the one that you didn't start?

What good is a high sex drive and sperm count if you can't get laid in the first place?

Sorry Rojo, that's a BS study by somebody who hasn't done significant distance running. Soy da like you had the same experience I did. My sex drive was next to zero at my highest mileage. Many others I know have said the same. I'm counting the seconds until the boys reply here saying they have an off the charts sex drive at high mileage...3,2,1...

THIS

Women have evolved. These days, they don't want the endurance jogger kinda guy, they want BUFF/SHREDDED alpha males. Big muscles, big junk. Generally, a more appeasing PHYSIQUE. Something like this:

The distance runners?

rojo,

why is having more sperm a good thing?

are you encouraging young men on letsrun to be losers who drop out of school and have to pay child support?

The fact that you think big muscles and big junk are correlated makes your posts SO MUCH better.

I'm not sure as I don't read every thread.

I was just in charge of the homepage last night and got the email and also came across like like 5 articles on it. I assume the study just came out.

another great quote from the Telegraph: "Researchers say that good runners are likely to have had ancestors who were excellent hunters and would therefore have had the pick of the females, creating a biological advantage for their descendants and passing on the best genes,"

Here is another article on it in the Oregon paper:

Hey I'm not putting a value on it. The researchers are. I think the researchers are saying that for most of humanity a high sperm count was a great thing as it gave you the best odds of seeing your genes move on. Have a ton of babies and hope 2 or 3 make it.

I think it was all related. Higher testosterone = bigger sex drive and more likely to have babies. It also = better hunter (remember people used to chase animals for hours supposedly) which means more food and the ladies will like you as you have food to share.

The Oregon paper talks about it here:

Hey Rojo,

Finally we have conclusive proof that it's much better to run 60 mpw -- you'll still be pretty fit and you can remain a stud.

You can count people's sperm by looking at the start line of a 100m final? You must have a truly superior HD TV.

What would Rojo know about any of this?

No kidding. At 5'5," 140 lbs & average looking at best, I'm completely invisible to women - whether at work, the gym, local races, dating apps, etc. 🙄

I'm 65, one thing I've noticed is that once women get to their 30's the big muscles guys are more someone to laugh at. They are more attracted to a gentleman type. Especially in their late 30's to 40's and up.

Big muscles, big junk- no, no relation.

If only we had an expert on sprinting! In particular, one who’s obsessed with the bodies of Jamaican sprinters!

that's crazy as I thought you did read every thread
