But I think that's a subject for a different thread.
However, as a woman, I'd like to hear your opinion on this: would you have issues dating a man whom you outperformed athletically? That's the main issue, or at least what I'm concerned about.
It is true, and unfortunate, that many women in this culture have a strong distaste for anything athletic enough to sweat. I wish we could do something about that, for a variety of reasons.
