Is It Wrong To Look At Female Athletes As Sex Symbols?

[Yavin4]

I don't think so. Women look at male athletes in the same way. Look at how women drool over Tony Gonzales, Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon, and Tom Brady.

So is it wrong for men to do the same with female athletes?

1. I don't think it is wrong to look at anybody as a sex symbol.

Who thinks it is wrong?

3. Hell no..................

athletic (but not overly muscular) women are a big turn on for me. I'm especially enamored to Women Volleyball players. I've got his thing for long legs you see...............

5. So I'm not the only one then..............

9. I heard that Women's Beach Volleyball teams were forced by the League

wear excessively revealing uniforms. The women were against this ruling, but the Leagues and Networks said tough shit. No Daisy Duke style shorts with string bikini tops, no team. The End.

Maybe it's wrong to take male athletes seriously while forcing women to pose as bimbos?

6. Anna Kournikova

Maria Sharapova. The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

7. No, it's not wrong, it's just hard.

There are so few female athletes that are hot.

8. oh shit

good thing this forum isn't too busy or you'd get your ass reamed for that

ha...you're right though

12. Well, I'm reading

but some people's idea of hot is silicon and ribs.
To each his/her own.

10. YOU SEXIST BASTARD!

Sorry; had to throw in that header to throw any hardcore feminists who might be reading off.

You're mostly right, though. Anna Kournikova, perhaps, but the crappiness of her play eliminates her from contention. She's just another second-stringer who looks good.

The problem is that a hardcore athletic regimen removes most of what men consider attractive traits. It lessens the fat in the breasts, it removes all junk from the trunk, etc. etc.

I caught a bit of a women's bodybuilding competition last week on INHD. I was repulsed, yet strangely attracted.

13. Watch it bub

;-)

One doesn't have to be a "hardcore feminist" to complain about sexism.
This particular thread, in my opinion, isn't over the line. If it were, I'd deleted it.

:evilgrin:

11. Are you kidding me?????....

...Who doesn't love Women's Volleyball? :P
