Golf Not Sexy? I Beg to Differ!
I definitely don't agree with the findings of Professor Richard Wiseman of Hertfordshire University in England.
His study of over 6000 adults, indicates that golf does nothing to increase a man's attractiveness to the opposite sex. In fact among the women of this survey golf came out dead last in sex-appeal enhancement out of a list of 15 sports. Rock climing was first. Yes, rock climbing.
The professor theorized that golf's abysmal rating had to do with the fact that golfers are often not in good shape, and even when they're buff they tend to cover up with multiple layers of the dorkiest duds. Rock climbers on the other hand need to be in top physical condition, and frequently wear very little.
The news in not much better for us gals. Only 18% of men felt that golf made us sexier, prefering instead to see us engage in ... aerobics. It seems leotards and leg warmers trump skorts and polos in most male minds.
As I said at the beginning, I don't buy Professor Wiseman's conclusion. However, I do think we golfers should all make an effort to shape up and get stylish ...because I don't think many of us will be taking up aerobics or rock climbing anytime soon.
Take this from me, the Cheap Bastard: I disagree with this egghead's assessment based on many factors. Most importantly is this: All English men are ugly. Every last one of them. I'm not being hyperbolic one bit.
And rock climbers? Well, maybe, right up to the point they fall and go through life with a large chuck of boulder attached to their lips.
Personally, I think your dynamic Armenian good looks and my excruciatingly white Scottish/Irish/Swedish/Norwegian/Guatemalan good looks prove that golfers are by far the sexiest of all athletes. To say otherwise implies you`re English.
Great to see your blog here Pat, and while I never expect to see you come close to matching my popularity, I think you should do fine.
