Girls...What do you think of boxers (the sportsmen), do they turn you off?

A boxer (who's face isn't too messed) sounds almost perfect to me. I luuuurve boxing in general.
But I have two issues. 1. I really appreciate academics (although I know they're not mutually exclusive) 2. Boxing long term usually comes with health issues which isn't attractive-I don't want to be a relatively young widow
But then again, if he's great enough not to get hit too badly too often then that just makes him even more attractive..
And they tend to be more caring.

Either way, I believe everyone has someone made for them so you'll find 'that girl'.

Hope I answered your question (my concentration span wasn't long enough to read the whole post )

When you date a guy and he says he's a boxer, would you be turned off by that? Be surprised how many girls actually think it makes the guy more aggressive, which is pure B.S! normal guys are 10x more likely to be involved in a domestic than a boxer is, because with a boxer, it's all about controlled aggression. Anyway, I am a boxer, but I'm only amateur at the moment, but I had some time out due to injury for a couple years, so I'm getting back into it and I may even turn pro if things work out. Girls only seem to think we're hot, have good bodies, and we are viewed as sexual objects, but when it comes to dating, I find it hard to go much further than lust. Don't get me wrong, it's great to know that girls find me attractive/hot, but my mates are all starting to settle down and get engaged, move in together etc, meanwhile I'm stuck with meeting girls and forming (non sexual) relationships.

I swear it's to do with the boxing. I mean the girls who find me attractive are not the girls I would be in a relationship with, whereas the girls I find attractive, both physically and mentally, they seem to want to stay away. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dumb and I could go to Uni if I wanted, but I'm bored of academics now and boxing has always been my passion.

What do I do? I'm going insane! lol.

I doubt you can make top even if you didn't have an injury. Anyway, you aren't even a boxer so I wouldn't worry OP. You should work on your confidence issues like height insecurities and the need to act tough.

Also, you probably are dumb hence why you can't find a girl that is attractive and smart. What job do you work out? as that's important.

But surely the greater he is, the more likely the hits that he takes are going to be dangerous

That makes sense but doesn't if you get me lol
When you think of the greats, they have taken some of the worst hits ever but then surely, if you're the greatest, you shouldn't be hit that bad too often..?
Myeh, either way, I just wouldn't want any long term boxing related ailments to plague my partner lol

Not really. The greater the opponent the more powerful you gonna get hit. The average boxer is hit something like 90 times during a boxing match i.e. jabs and stuff during a fight.

Getting knocked out also causes many problems aswell.

I would just be scared every time he stepped into the ring that he was going to get seriously hurt, but I wouldn't be put off a guy just because he was a boxer. If anything it would be a plus.

Me too. It would mean he had a great body, and was fit and on form. That's really attractive to me. I would just be worried about him getting a serious injury. I doesn't mean I would stop him from doing it one bit, the feeling would just be there!

My boyfriend is a climber and does some really terrifying stuff... He is really muscular and fit for it, but I worry that his equipment will fail and he'll fall. Don't tell him.

Climbing is actually a safe sport. It's stupid to worry about that, it's like worrying about airplanes crashing if your bf was a pilot.

He was in the papers when he was a teen once because he had to be rescued! His mum and dad told me about that one.

I mean I'm not very worried, it's just a thought that something could happen. He once went off on a four day climbing holiday in the Lakes and the last I heard from him until he came back was something like 'Off to do some really scary 200m climbs today!' I couldn't help it!

The connotations of boxing and climbing are quite different though. Boxing is a combat sport, it's aggressive, it's man vs. man, climbing is basically just pulling your way up a bunch of rocks - both are a great work out but in terms of how girls would perceive a guy, being a boxer has a lot of different facets.

Personally I have just been doing Muay Thai for about 2 months, ~3 times a week. Not had any amateur fights yet just sparring. That said I have already noticed that when I mention this to girls they see it as quite significant, a lot of them do seem to think it means you are an aggressive person.

In fact much more girls seem to see it that way, and as being a slight negative or something that you at least have to reassure them about, then do think it's hot and macho etc.

Yeah that's true, I don't understand why girls think this way about boxing/combat sports but they seem to. Also, the girls I have been "involved" with are much more into my body/looks than the boxing side of it. They're definitely NOT the type of girls I would have a long term relationship with, as they're more inclined to go for looks over personality, whereas the type of girl I'm looking for is the opposite of that.

Even if you are hot, most hot girls with a bit of intelligence would probably try and get with a successful person i.e. with a good job, drives nice cars, wears nice clothes and has some sort of power. Yet you don't have neither and since you have no education behind you, then I don't see how you will obtain it.

Would be interested to see a pic of your body. You go on about how good it looks a lot.
