grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Over 6000 people indicating which sporting activities would make a member of the opposite sex more attractive. Results revealed that 57% of women found climbing attractive, making it the sexiest sport from a female perspective. This was closely followed by extreme sports (56%), football (52%), and hiking (51%). Bottom of their list came aerobics and golf, with just 9% and 13% of the vote respectively. In contrast, men were most attracted to women into aerobics (70%), followed by yoga (65%), and going to the gym (64%). Bottom of their list came bodybuilding (5%), rugby (6%), and golf (18%). Women’s choices appear to reflect the type of psychological qualities that they find attractive – such as bravery and a willingness to take on challenges - whilst men are more shallow, looking for a woman who is physically fit but not challenging their ego by being overly strong. The findings also reveal that both men and women have little insight into what sports the opposite sex find attractive. 56% of men believe that women are attracted to male bodybuilders, whereas only 19% actually are. Likewise, 73% of women think that men find female runners attractive, whereas in reality 55% do. 'Our findings suggest that women who've been pounding the pavements in search of love would do better taking up aerobics, while men seeking women need to ditch the weights and get on the climbing wall,' said Murphy. 'That said, the best way to find happiness - not to mention a long-lasting fitness regime - is to do what you love. Unless, that is, it's golf!' RESULTS Everyone was asked to indicate whether they would find a member of the opposite sex more attractive if they engaged in one of 15 sporting/physical activities (response options ‘yes’, ‘uncertain’, and ‘no’). The percentage of giving the ‘yes’ option to each option is as follows: Men Bodybuilding 5 Rugby 6 Golf 18 Rowing 20 Football (soccer) 30 Extreme sports 32 Martial arts 35 Cycling 39 Climbing 41 Hiking 41 Skiing 53 Running 55 Going to the gym 64 Yoga/Pilates 65 Aerobics 70 --------------------- Woman Aerobics 9 Golf 13 Bodybuilding 19 Yoga/Pilates 20 Cycling 37 Rowing 43 Martial arts 44 Rugby 44 Running 44 Skiing 46 Going to the gym 50 Hiking 51 Football (soccer) 52 Extreme sports 56 Climbing 57 Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 It's a pity that ice skating is just so ridiculous. I'd love to wear one of the guy suits though, they are ever so nice. Link to post Share on other sites
