more sexist garbage from this stupid sexist website.

I wuz gonna suggest she do a porn flick for some quick bucko's (that's what they call them down under, mate), but your comment changed my mind.

I also thought that she was going to end up in nude flicks.

Woman's view on this - average looking athlete draws attention to herself by deliberately bouncing about in a ridiculous way on the start line. Makes the most of limited looks and talent by becoming famous for start line antics. Slightly annoying as those of us who are better looking could quite easily draw attention in a similar way but don't want to look like desperate idiots. Usual story of the average or plain looking ones working harder for attention and quite amusing to see how some men lap it up. Must be quite annoying for her fellow competitors too.

Surely if you're a runner, there must be better looking women down your local track?

Not really

Probably less amusing to the smug women laughing at her when they hit 30 and all that attention mongering has resulted in a steady stream of relationships resulting in eventual marriage (almost certainly on her terms). Beats being a future cat-lady IMO.

You may be what economists call a "strong bidder" in the dating game, which doesn't always work out well.

Most if not all of those 'net worth' types stats are not based on reality.

Really well said. Sounds like woman's perspective is a tad jealous she has no assets. Have fun being a 4.

My husband loves cats as well!

Not sure about my boytoy. I'll need to ask him.

There are three possibilities.

1 - you need to validate yourself to a stranger on the internet enough to lie about an extramarital affair.

2 - you need to validate yourself to a stranger on the internet enough to brag about your extramarital affair, as if it's something to be proud of.

3 - you're verbally fencing, but I'm over on the metaphorical archery range.

4. Woman's Perspective is actually a man.

Et Tu, Lolo?

Decent face, excellent bod, great moves, topnotch personality. 8.5 for physicality, 9.5 personality; averaged score 9.0. For comparison, most track girls are 6 or 7 (because they aren't overweight). Almost none are (averaged) 9's.

My view on you - jealous bitter woman posts anonymously on internet forum to ridicule successful attractive athlete for being successful and attractive. Makes the most of her limited troll abilities. Slightly annoying as the other posters all see through her lame attempts to make herself feel better only resulting in making herself look like a desperate idiot. Usual story of sad and bitter person seeking to draw attention to herself by pretending she is something she is not while insulting others more successful than her on anonymous forums. Must be quite annoying for anyone who knows her to have to deal with her.

Surely if you're a runner, your time would be better spent training rather than making a fool of yourself on here?

I bet if she is a leftie, she is a victim of white male prejudice. If she is not, then she can be attacked as deserving contempt although all her circumstances are the same.

My view on 'codeman' - you're an idiot because you don't realize you're being trolled by a man not a woman. Must be quite annoying for anyone who knows you to have to deal with you being such an idiot.

Now now, don't get too excited. My name could be Cait. Its not, but it could be.

Injury does terrible things to the psyche.

This is very amusing!

Jenneke doesn't interest me. Make of that what you will. I respect someone's need to make a living for themselves, but I think with Jenneke its going too far down that line and promoting image over athletic achievement. There are many athletes who are gold medallists or at least finalists who are far more attractive than Jenneke, both men and women, who presumably don't have either the time or inclination to promote themselves in a similar way. I don't have a problem with people earning a living, but basing it on bouncing around on a startline is I think a step too far for most serious athletes.

Still, she harms nobody.

Well, at least you accurately picked a good posting name for yourself idiot.

Suckered in again with an obvious and piss weak comeback, just shows who the idiot is.
