Every girl jock would prefer to date someone that is a jock because they love sports and want to share that common link.
The classic scenario: Girl jock really really loves sports and typically is attracted to the other guy jocks she's around. When girl jock falls for boy jock; the boy jock typically even if they could very well be interested the boy jock doesn’t pursue girl jock because they like the jock buddy they have so therefore they go after the girl that is not a jock to keep their girl jock relationship in tact (i.e. tennis partners, soccer buddies).
Guy jocks take pleasure in teaching girls how to play sports (that is their comfort zone of knowledge). Given this desire to teach there is less appeal in dating the girl jock because nine times out of ten she'll teach you or show you up.
There is the classic tactic of the girl jock: try to downplay your jock abilities to get them to take the chance on you. Hahaha! This tactic is rarely successful. Then there are the hybrid girl jocks (like me) that are jocks but still can clean up for church and such.
Do some guy jocks date girl jocks? On a case by case basis, but it usually is only after both the girl jock and guy jock release their grip on the fear of risking the jock relationship. Interesting dynamic that continues to withstand the test of time.

Funny. I fit into the hybrid girl jock. I didn't really date jocks a whole lot though. I dated the dirtbiking guys - even in college. Then I ended up marrying a band geek. Just kidding. He likes sports, but is definitely not a jock. :) Weird how everything turns out. After I got engaged though, I found out a really hot boy jock really liked me. I guess he just didn't want to put our jock relationship at risk. I think he just didn't want to be shown up by a girl - and a country one at that! :) HA HA HA! Are you having boy problems?
Hey Jess I just wanted to let you know that the pictures from whitney's wedding are posted online through Picasa.

So the real question, miss hybrid girl jock is: how many boy jocks have you personally dated? And how many boys have you dated have been non-jock boys?
