Why all the hate for sporty girls?

(at the moment, I'm cutting so I'm not eating any carbs)

It's not getting me down all the time, lol, it's just really annoying because most of my guy friends who are more "intellectual" than sporty see me this way. It's like they keep insisting there's something wrong with me just for being disciplined. And then it's not "cool" to go on a night out and, say, drink water instead of a lot of alcohol because you're cutting either.

Don't be silly, your brain needs carbs

How much do you deadlift?

Do you not exercise? Loads of athletes don't eat carbs.

Probably where the dumb jocks stereotype comes from Just kidding, but don't neglect your brain!

Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fuelling brain function. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source.

I don't know where you're getting that only carbs can fuel your brain from.

They can't all be morons, literally about half the guys I know say this (mainly the more intellectual/geeky types) and that I'd be "more slim and feminine" if I had less muscle. I just look like most girls who do gymnastics though?

At the risk of sounding noobish what would you say it says about them? Practically half my guy friends make fun of me for this reason, but I can't see that I'm doing anything particularly wrong. Lifting weights doesn't automatically turn me into a female bodybuilder.

I failed to see where that link said 'no' carbs, all i saw is low carbs. Having absolutely no carbs is not healthy and one way ticket to muscle atrophy and general fatigue. Especially if you do as much exercise as you say you do.

Ok here is a realistic answer, personally I love sporty girls, I can relate to them as I do lots of sport.

But i've heard loads of idiotic people saying they dislike girls who play football, probably because it goes against their view of football is only for men etc (which most people believe- not saying i agree with it before I get the feminist bandwagon on me - see the first sentence in case you are reading this)
