I don't care if some individuals partake in these endeavors, I just don't think that everybody should act this way and therefore it shouldn't be promoted. Would it be alright with you if the world was nothing but overly muscular female bodybuilders and very feminine drag queens?
Right. Why can't we just go back to the days when men were <i>real</i> men, women were <i>real</i> women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were <i>real</i> small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri?

Personally I think that it's cute, but I do agree that they shouldn't really be allowed to have muscles. I don't care what it says in the Constitution about the right to bare arms either. Everybody knows that the Constitution was never meant to include wimmen. If wimmen do have muscles, they should be made to wear long-sleeve shirts, the way that God intended! They should also be made to wear bustles while participating in sports too, strictly as a safety measure.

Men are from Earth. And wimmen are from Earth also. And that's gotta change, damnit!

Ya know, this board reminds me of Lake Wobegon.

Where the women are strong,
The men are good looking*,
And the children are above average.

If that is a female squirrel she is acting to masculinely for my taste.

Fit people look good
 
Bodybuilders and basketball players are apples and oranges. I don't personally find the bodybuilder look to be an attractive look - I personally think it is somewhat freakish in nature, be it a male or a female. This is not to insult anyone, just a personal taste thing. The bodybuilder physique is at the extreme end of fitness. It is, however, more attractive than the obese physique.

Basketball players generally do not look like bodybuilders. They generally look like fit athletes, and I find that to be an attractive quality in people, as does most of society.

I know that playing ball has contributed to several of my larger players losing between 10 and 20 pounds over the winter because they ran hard for 6 days per week and lifted weights. They did all this without having an eating disoder or using diet pills - they just got more physically fit, the right way to lose weight. In general, I would guess they most guys their age find them more attractive now then when they were carrying that extra weight. Having seen them in formal dress as well, I can say that they dress up quite well and don't look like men in girls clothes (they aren't steroid pumped E. German women!). I don't think that their boyfriends object to their appearance in the slightest - just their parents, who have to fend off all the boys who have an interest in their daughters.

Maybe muresan is calling the grapes a little sour?

So, coach, you're saying I shouldn't let my 4 year old play basketball when she gets older? Otherwise, preventing her from dating before she turns 21 will be more difficult?

Hawks Coach Thu Apr 08, 2004 06:55am

If you want to really prevent your daughter from dating, take that ball away and sit her down in front of the TV with a jumbo bag of Fritos and a box of Twinkies. Repeat daily.

Adam Thu Apr 08, 2004 08:11am

LOL, no thanks, coach. I think I'll take my chances. I'm confident I can handle the boys.
