Women pick the sexy (British) outdoors guy

Whoa — major revelations out of the UK today: rock-climbing was ranked fourth in the ten activities a man could do to make women “fancy” him (I love how Brits, Scots, Irish, and Canadians use “fancy” as a verb of potential romance).
However, 83% of the British women surveyed would keep a surfer guy under close observation. Also, 47% of the women in the survey got the hots for a man who goes white-water rafting.
I’m not going to ask why fly fishing didn’t make the cut.
Keep in mind that the women surveyed here are British and were probably thinking of British or, perhaps, Australian men (this is also MSN-UK, so there’s whatever bias is built into that network). If power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, however, perhaps Winston Churchill (pictured) was one of the most sexed-up straight males in British history.
I wonder how American women’s tastes would shake out on “The Top Ten Hobbies That Make People Fancy You” scale as far as outdoorsy interests go in this country.
I’m going to bet that surfing and rock-climbing will again rank high (women are suckers for bare male muscle as much as men are suckers for bare female muscle — you heard it here), followed by skiing and snowboarding. I wonder if an equestrian event might also figure into the mix?
How high might women rate these guys?

Yes and no.
Anything that involves fitness, training, discipline and serious muscle is appealing — equestrians for sure.
I’m not sure I’d fancy a rock-climber as there have been too many guys falling to their deaths of late. The challenge of risky sports is…they’re risky and who really wants a man in traction or suffering a brain injury?
My poor old sweetie got a concussion just falling during a local bike ride. That was an ER visit in itself. So if he sticks to safe, boring golf (zzzzzzzzz), fine by me.
I was going to say that it’s almost anti-Darwinian to fancy the rock-climber and far more sensible to go for the fisherman: He may come home and feed you, while the other dude will come home empty handed at best, or needing medical attention or a priest at worst. Then I watched the noodling video.
Vanessa — Did you see Miss Oklahoma attending the catfish weigh-in? Or maybe she was Miss Flathead, I don’t know. She might have been totally turned on by the noodling beefcake surrounding her.

Lures are usually used with a fishing rod and fishing reel. When a lure is used for casting, it is continually cast out and retrieved, the retrieve making the lure swim or produce a popping action. A skilled angler can explore many possible hiding places for fish through lure casting such as under logs and on flats.fishing lures
