Male Marathon Runners Get More Women Have More Sperm
"If the thought of running just over 26 miles doesn’t appeal to you from a health or mental endurance standpoint, there’s still something that may motivate you to take up long distance running and training for a marathon: studies show you’ll get more dates and/or perform better in bed.
Yes, it is true: women are innately attracted to marathon runners. Something else, in case you didn’t know: Marathon runners are likely to have higher sperm counts. This may relate back to the need for hunters and gatherers, and the hunters had to run often and steadily to get their meat. The survival of the fittest, if you will. Researchers at the University of Cambridge say that artful runners are likely to have ancestors who were excellent at hunting, and the long-distance aspect is what counts — endurance is more valuable than speed when it comes to tracking down your food in the wild. With these type of men much sought after in our past, their superior genes have been passed on down through the generations, and women still can biologically pick them up, even if it is subconsciously. This is where pheromones may enter the picture."
My sister-in-law ran her first 5km recently and as I joked with her then, unless there's angry rhino chasing me you'll never see me running period. Brother contributed his comedy bit saying he gave her encouragement while smoking a cig at the starting line.
We're probably not helping her much hehe. Will send this story along though.
