I highly doubt that a woman would come in at some point during the first 5 or 10 posts and say, "Was he hot?" or "Did you hook up after the ride?" or anything like that. If people commented on the ride report at all, they would likely make comments or ask questions about the bicycle and/or ride.

I suspect there would be a good chance that somewhere in the first 5 or 10 posts some guy would come in with "Was she hot?" or "Did you hook up after the ride?" or something like that.


Would my suspicions be right or wrong?


Why is it necessary to know anything about the looks of the girl? And what's worse are the comments that if she wasn't hot, they would have blown her off earlier than 20 km (I've seen those ones). Those sorts of comments are completely unnecessary and unwelcome in a co-ed cycling forum.
