What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*i thought i would post this in the fitness sections seeing as its about sport.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...nt-square.html
at first glance, what do you think and do we have a good chance of winning with these women? looking at the comments section further down the page, there are many people who think we have no chance and that it sums up our country if we cant even get decent looking women for beach volleyball, which brings us onto another point. do you think that beach volleyball is too much about wearing skimpy outfits and not enough about the competition itself? the men wear shirts and shorts so why do you think the women have to wear skimpy, revealing outfits?
and what do you think of their bodies? i find the 2nd from left (lucy bolton) sexiest, from the front and back, but looking at the comments section people think she is too fat and they prefer the right hand one (zara dempne). what are your views?Last edited by Movember; 24-05-2012 at 13:49. -

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*Silly to predict performance based on attractiveness, obviously.
The suits aren't particularly skimpy, they could do with actual shorts and not underwear though.
Comment from the article:
''Why do they have to have the shorts up their backsides? Just not necessary - some decorum wouldn't go amiss''
And I don't think any of them are sexy...Last edited by confuzzled92; 24-05-2012 at 13:59. -

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*Tbh i think someone's trying to stoke up demand for unsold olympic tickets by staging publicity stunts... We don't need a beach volleyball demonstration to make up realise the congestion is going to be horrible.

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*thats what most of the people who write comments think
you would with all of them if you had the chance. you must score with lots of hot women every time you got out or have a hot girlfriend and are hot yourself?
how do you know that?(Original post by Pseudo-truth)
They were chosen because they're good at volleyball. Good. That's how it should be.
But if any other countries want to throw in eye candy, that's cool. -

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*What does it matter how attractive they are? They're not there to fulfil anyone's adolescent sexual fantasies. They're there to compete in an international sporting event.(Original post by Movember)

I don't know why they wear those outfits, but I assume there's a good reason. Plenty of sportswomen wear similar clothing, e.g. in athletics. -

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*If they offered then sure why not, however I wouldn't go out of my way to. And only the one on the right would get a cuddle afterwards.(Original post by Movember)

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*I respect them for being chosen for thier ability, but I really don't understand the outfits. In that case, why don't they strip the male Athletes down to a tiny pair of Speedos?
That wouldn't be so bad.
Would it?

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*In beach volleyball crowd attendance/ viewer figures are directly related to the girls attractiveness. You would've thought for someone who has to wear that outfit in front of an audience, the second from left would get a better body.(Original post by whatsername2009)

It's beach volleyball. No-one gives a **** about who wins.
I was only trying to point out that the OP raised the question of whether it was right that these athletes should be judged on their looks rather than their skill, only to do a U-turn by asking people to rate their attractiveness.(Original post by TheInformer)

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*The reason is that no - one really cares about beach volleyball, if there were no attractive girls playing it then almost nobody would be watching, so no one really cares how good an athlete they are. It's the same as if they put International Tiddlywinks on TV, the only way people would watch it is if the people playing were hot and wore next to nothing.(Original post by whatsername2009)

I think OP wasn't serious when he asked that question.Last edited by TheInformer; 24-05-2012 at 17:10.
