But I just turned on the Olympics and the women's 4x100 relay is coming on and as they're introducing the teams it occurred to me that every one of the women on every team look like super-models. They're all world class athletes sure, but I had no idea every one would be so attractive.

(3,072 posts)Sure, I'm a guy so I can't comment on how women feel about such things but I don't think there is anything wrong with an adult finding another adult attractive, or even mentioning such things. Sexist would be saying something like "these women are pretty. They should be at home raising children, not spending time in Rio racing".

(442 posts)Why would it be surprising that people that work on their body more than anybody else in the world are attractive.
There are exceptions, of course, but in general the top athletes in the world, male and female are attractive. In no small part, it's because many of the characteristics that make for good athletes are how we define attractiveness in the first place.

I must have gotten those two things confused, there, for some odd reason.

A strong, healthy bull is attractive to cows who want healthy calves, etc, etc.
There's a lot to be said for eating well, being active and sporty and taking good care of what's inside the skin we're in! It's not sexist at all to appreciate the human form!
