Female athletes have a whole range of bodies, just like male athletes. Different body types are helpful for different sports. If what you mean is "fairly lean and muscular, but still small and achievable naturally", say that. Or show some pictures.

I see “athletic” as related to build, level of fitness and to the ease with which they move.

This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, but in the early days of online dating, just as the definition of curvy changed from hourglass figure to fat, for some reason women used "athletic" as a euphemism for small-breasted.

Yes. People look better when they're fit. Tone, trim, showing skin, and inherent stamina in bed.

No

The trend toward women in their 20s/30s lifting weights with moderate cardio instead of starving themselves and overdoing cardio is certainly welcome.

DH here. Fit, athletic women are so incredibly hot.

Love seeing women running, working out, biking, etc.

And while you may not feel sexy when you get hot and sweaty from a workout, you actually look really sexy to men.

DH says the same. That I look sexy when I work out. I certainly don’t feel it when I am sweaty and breathing heavily from pushing myself so hard

I can throw a football 50 yards, play a mean second base, hit a three point shot, drive a golf ball long and straight, roller blade really fast without falling down and mountain bike on rough trails. I find men like me until I beat them in arm wrestling.

Some do. Don't you know that not all men are the same? There is a lid for every pot.

Hell yes.

Men generally find feminine women attractive. Whether you’re athletic is neither here nor there.

trim and toned, definitely. bulging muscles, no.

Do straight men find women that are athletic attractive? I am only asking because I build muscle naturally when I am active, and I have always been athletically inclined.
