I know big muscle bound guys who are less athletic then me, but most people would assume they were the fitter.

muscle doesnt = athletic. and those people prob dont know what athletic even means. a bigger man can be more athletic than a smaller man, but an athletic small man will most likely be more athletic than a bigger man. lot harder to move more weight suddenly in different directions. but some people can do it. just alooot harder and less frequent of a sight.

and fat isnt attractive to me cuz I tend to be athletic and would like a partner that can join me in my athletics, or atleast attempt.

I agree with V-op. It would be silly to not think there is a direct correlation between weight and fitness, but that isn't the only factor to take into account.

never seen a OL or DL run the 40 in under 5... or show the agility of a ballerina, or clear fences in a single leap, but they are good at what they are built to do, be strong and take up space. Big people have their places in sports.
