When you see someone who has listed their body type as ‘Athletic’, what do you consider that to look like?

A shot-putter.

That's athletics, right?

I am on the cusp between slim and athletic because I am so tall. I went with athletic partly because I am trying to put some more lean muscle on and it is a bit of personal encouragement.

About 3 feet away from the fence

Like how I used to look about 6 years ago

Flat stomach.... not necessarily bulky, but lean & toned with areas of defined muscle. Like how someone who plays a cardio-heavy sport on a regular basis looks.

Looking as though they do a regular sport or exercise…

Darts or snooker perhaps

There's probably been a £5million study done on it to produce a scientific formula.

Anyone?

I have what I would call an athletic body type. I gain tone fairly quickly and easily but lose it the same

I'm not and never will be skinny as I have a fairly broad frame as far as bone structure goes.

Plus points there for pregnancy & delivery

Always been active, walked early, all that stuff.

Athletic to me means being able to notice some degree of a muscle definition, that is obviously a spectrum from gym freaks to someone who just likes to keep fit and hasn't got much or not at all visible "cushioning". For me it doesn't refer to their stamina level, it is meant to describe a body on here and differ from average and slim category. Then again I don't pay that much attention to that box - I'd rather see full figure pictures and face and go from there when it comes to attraction.

Describe yourself as you wish, your profile after all, but others might see it differently from their perspective. You just need to chose how much you care

Hope it makes sense.

I’ve put athletic. I’m into fitness but I’m not terribly muscly or defined.

Is that the right definition ? Never really thought about it too much

The only fab options that applied to be were average or athletic. I chose the latter as I vowed years ago never to label myself as the former ever again.

Therefore for me athletic means more than average.

Most people on here are "average".

Some press that athletic option a little too quickly. Going to the gym in 2019 doesn't count as athletic.

Athletic to me is toned, defined, abs and all that crap I can I only dream about.

It’s a good questions and often comes down to opinion.

I think I am on the border between ‘athletic ‘ and ‘slim’ according to fab definitions.

I opted for slim on my profile.

I would describe you as athletic! Hell, I described myself as athletic and I'm closer to the slim boundary than you are.

I would argue as long as they can bring the shopping in from the car in one go then they qualify.

I never really note what someone's put. I'm down as curvy, but I'm probably more ample/large. Neither option sounded very flattering though

I’d say athletic would be visible abs and some muscle definition.

It's something that's always stumped me. When I first joined, I put my body type as slim and think I still kind of fall under that category because athletic to me meant ripped shoulders and chest, abs, muscular legs and essentially just a big specimen of a man

I do lots of sports and the most athletic body shapes are usually on the track, sprinting 2s/4s.

I would class anything under 13% body fat as an athlete.
