Last night on my run, I had an awesome d-bag of person yell, “You run like a girl!” Well a normal guy would be upset with this. I was flattered as I am a little more muscular of a guy and always feel like I clomp along in my runs. I admire the light footed (faster) girls that I see. I thought to myself, finally, I must be starting to get lighter on my feet.
I always have people call me Lance when I am riding my bike and i just don’t understand it. I know it is meant as an insult but it is hard not to be complimented.
I think this all just goes to show that intelligence and ignorance are inversely related. As one goes up, the other goes down.
I love that you are taking this as a compliment! That’s very cool.
I coach girls volleyball. Some of these girls can really swing hard at a ball with their spike. I saw a t-shirt once that I want to get for my team. It says “You WISH you could hit like a girl”. 
Great! I always thought it was a bad thing when people said I throw like a girl. High Five!!
I love it when guys honk and whistle…oddly, when they do and notice I am a guy they always seem to call ME gay! And they were the ones hooting and whistling at a guy!
I run like a dying T-rex, so any tips you could give me on running like a girl would be great, thanks

I have issues with this as well. I just like to tell myself it’s not them honking, but their uncontrollable erections hitting the horn at the sight of me.
While running in rural MD the other day, I came upon a moral dilemma. I was ‘honked’ four times by passing cars, and it was difficult to know whether I should respond with my own unique type of outrage (that is, bottling up the pain deep inside) or a smile and wave at what was surely secret admirers of my physique (humor me please!). During the run, I was able to develop a conjecture on the projected emotions motivating the honk. If it is a black F150 pick up, they probably think I have been infected with the Gay (like swine flu, but deadlier and more contagious). If it is a red sportscar, then they are probably turned on like a blast furnace at the sight (don’t crush my dreams by arguing this point!). And if it is a red F150 pickup, it is a little bit of both. (reposted from blog, sorry-- catcalls are something we all face)

It’s not just how you run, you need to look the part. Start with the proper outfit:

Watch the girls run as often as I do. Don’t do it in a creepy way though.
There are rowing t-shirts out there that say “You row like a girl!” on the front, and on the back, they say, “Good for you!” I love them, almost as much as the “Don’t Feed the Lightweights” shirts!

Perhaps you are leaning to one side on your saddle so they are assuming you only have one ball?
I have two balls…they are just really tiny and don’t give the profile I like to see in my bike shorts. To fix this I stuff one really big tube sock down there. Maybe that makes it look like one ball? Perhaps I should throw two down there to avoid confusion…

Dude, you are a triathlete … shouldn’t that be a compressions sock?
I run like a dying T-rex…
Maybe the funniest line in the history of ST. The more you picture it, the funnier it gets.
Compression socks during a workout? Seriously dude, they are for recovery only. That is why I replace the tube sock with a compression sock AFTER the workout.

And the sad thing is, when you see it live, it is an amazingly accurate comparison.
