I've said it before, sumo wrestling is a sport...
Yes, some get confused between being fit and playing sport and having an athletic build.
You can be fit and sporty without having an athletic build, although what people consider an athletic build varies.
And, of course, some are simply deluded. |

"By perusing the profies on here I
think a lot of people have no idea what athletic means.. 
"
but they clearly know how to post photos so give those who don't think they are athletic enough for them to pass on by...works quite well really. |

Ultimately, people will describe themselves how they like. Nothing will change the opinion they hold of themselves, least of all a collective of strangers on the internet.

"I wouldn't say it's subjective..I have muscle definition.you can see that I have.people on here describe themselves as athletic when they've done nothing athletic in a long long time."
it wont ever change so just deal with it or concentrate those that appeal to yourselves.. |

Also describing yourself as athletic implies you are fit.
Not just lucky genetically and fortunate to have low body fat,but could have a shocking diet, drink like a fish and smoke like a chimney.
I myself am not "athletic " looking but consider myself an athlete. I have done several iron man triathlons, many marathons etc.. I can run 5k in a shade over 20 mins, squat 180kg, swim a mile in 23 mins.
Yet I am 95kg mostly solid muscle, unfortunately due to age and genetics, covered by a layer of fat.
So I would say yes I am athletic but not athletic looking.
Think the options should be changed to suit the many variations in society. Giving not only appearance but activity levels also. |

A few of the guys i've met were athletic several years ago. What a pity they 'forgot' to alter their profile circa five years after giving up all exercise!!  Xx |

I'm not asking anyone to change,and I do concentrate on what I like.who doesn't?.... Its merely an observation. |

Maybe if the options were.
Athletic/god like
Gym goer/fit
Body builder
Power lifter
Rugby player
Ex rugby player
Over the hill
Never done a day's exercise in my life
Beer drinker
Stig of the dump
Just saying, more options would allow people to be more accurate.
Am sure that there must be variations for ladies also.

"I see athletic men as having big shoulders and thighs.Like someone who does a lot of running or throwing sport.

A slim athlete but I prefer bigger thighs and shoulders on my athletes like Daley Thompson |

wasn't implying you were, my point is that people wont ever change how they describe themselves which was the point you raised..
