[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four years ago, my ES kids, a fifth grader, asked me how to get girls to like him, and I responded:  be the best version of yourself.  In other words, excel in sports, and music.  If you can do both, girls will line up and you will have options.  To be great at this, you have to work very hard, because if it were that easy, it would have no value.  [/quote]

This is a really strange post.  Girls may line up for the star football player but they aren’t swooning over the XCountry star…in general.

Much the same that girls like the guitar players in a rock band but aren’t exactly throwing themselves at an oboe player.

Which isn’t to say either group has an issue with other XCountry girls and other girls that play in the orchestra.

Nor do charismatic class presidents and theatre kids or class clowns necessarily have issues with the opposite sex.[/quote]

XCountry and oboe are for losers.  Girls like guitar players and basketball/soccer players.  It good to have both.[/quote]

Cross country stars usually are tall with low body fat - hard to run blisteringly fast and not have a six pack for example.  I can attest there are women that prefer that physique to the outside linebacker type.  [/quote]

Watched a freshman boy under 5 feet tall finish in the top 5 of a mixed JV and varsity meet last night.  Many XC stars are tall. Obviously not all. [/quote]
