Looking for male opinions....attractive women?

[Moshi]

Do you think most men would be put off by a woman who was for instance a black belt or more attracted because of it?

I'm not talking about short hair, muscle bound women, more those that "look" feminine but are secret hard cases?

Dunno. It might help put off the freaks and timewasters

Not at all but other considerations will come first, you know the usual breasts, arse, legs and so on, eventuallly the black belt thing will come up in the radar!

@kevlarhead: Heh, unfortunately, it would also ATTRACT some freaks who enjoy being pummeled and the like.

There are obviously those men who would feel their balls had shrunk because their gf could belt 10 bells out of them, but I don't see it as a problem, unless you were both into martial arts and had to compete against each other in a tournament; wouldn't want to see how that would pan out.

Quite like the idea of an attractive woman being a bit of an 'ard case. See Ripley in the Aliens films. IT's the mix of appearance and nature.

Saw a friend of mine working in her house the other day shifting stuff around - wearing overalls and highish heels. that WAS intriguing....

I know some karate women and view them as no different to other women. They are mostly in good shape and look better for it. On the internet it could attract those men who are "looking to be thrown around" if you know what I mean. My advice is not to worry too much about what men think about you playing sport as it is definitely a good thing.

Would she get up in the middle of the night if you thought you heard someone moving about downstairs?

Can she open jars for herself?

I'm in favour of stronger women as long as they are gentle with me.

DW is a mouse, a very sleepy and lovely mouse.

It does not matter how strong a woman is, checking out suspicious noises in the middle of the night and opening jars that are stuck fast are part of the male job description. (Although I can do jars perfectly well when dh isn't around, oddly. Honestly, they only start to misbehave when he's actually there - I think they can smell the testosterone...)

....I find "fit freaks" a trifle scary. A bit dull too, if I am honest.

....that level of fitness requires the monomania and self-absorption that makes Olympic athletes such fascinating, rounded personalities. Ahem.
