    The DFW running club is an exception there I think though!

    This is true!

    So apart from here, running environments should be a good hunting ground for women! (thats women doing the hunting!)

    The DFW running club is all about the quality, not quantity of men though, I feel. ;)

    It is an interesting point considering there are probably five times as many men as women in most running environments, women should find it a fruitful hunting ground!

    Indeed! In fact, I did have other offers from men in the running fraternity. :D:D In our running club at my old work, there were only two female members. My first marathon was Paris, which I did with work runners. We went for the full weekend. Me and 11 men! :beer: We all had a brilliant time.

    and more to the point, you loved him even when he took his hat off, so he knew it was mutual!

    (sorry, low blow, but i remember you saying he is kinda sensitive about his pate!)

    Yes but I do find bald men more attractive! :confused: My current eye-candy (apart from my beloved of course) is Pepe Reina, Liverpool's Goalie. Mmmmmm. ;)

    I'm not sure going with 11 women would be an attractive proposition, so you deserve a medal for that one!:p
