Why do female epeeist have large butts?

[NI FOIL GUY]

I believe that it is down to their general lack of footwork and fitness. Most female foilists and sabuers are quite slim. Has anyone else noticed this?

[scarlet_woman156k]

I'm a female epeeist and I don't have a big butt.

Just ask Rick. Right, Rick?

And actually, footwork and fitness are my number one priorities.

Perhaps it's just that the female epeeists in your Division are not of a higher competition level?

You realize that by contributing to threads which are idiotic, you give the initiator attention, which is *exactly* what they're looking for.

And in a circuitous way, so am I...

If somebody posts something which is obviously off-topic and/or inflammatory, ignore it.

It's not particulr to epeeists. I've seen some sabre fencers and foilists with some fairly generous backsides. It's all a matter of how much exercise the person gets and their diet. Although I have to admit that epeeists don't seem to burn quite as many calories while fencing as sabre fencers or foilists...

[scarlet_woman156k]

Man, I'm really out of the loop...I didn't realize we had an instigator among us.

I completely agree with you, Darius.

Everyone:

No comment on Scarlet's butt. I absolutely refuse to comment on the size of anyone's butt... No way, I'm not falling for that loaded question... get some other schmuck to fall for that and be the whipping boy...
I've been on this board long enough to know that anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you.

Daaaaammmn, Rick! I think you need a drink!
All in good fun, man.

I've always thought that most fencers, male or female have big butts. Gotta power those legs somehow.

The most overweight woman fencer I've seen so far did foil.

Hey, I'm a female epeeist, and my butt's fairly large.

-_-

But not huge.
Come to think of it, the other female epeeists in my class have pretty large bums too. But this is just because we're scrubs.

The higher level epee-ettes (? I get annoyed at typing female epeeist all the time) are fairly slim. Mine's mostly an epee club anyhow.

What's odd is that the people at fencingsucks.com make fun of *saber* chicks being large.

It's all in who you fence with.

ANY woman wearing fencing whites is gonna look like her butt is big unless she's anatomically improbable . . . why I'm a fan of changing to colored uniforms.

[Fencing Angel]

so Peach... what color would you want??

[Peach]

I just bought a couple of pairs of black adidas tights, one of which is capri-pant length and looks great on me. If they could make something FIE that looked like that, I'd be waaaay happy. I'd love to have black uniforms with red stripes, or navy with yellow; anything but dingy bulging white which accentuates the fact that the female form divine has a lower center of gravity and a higher percentage of subcutaneous fat.

[Fencing Angel]

i think that they should regulate the colors that the different teams have around the world. but i also think that black and a yellow something would be kind of cool. or a even better idea. each reagion or club should have there own colors.

[fencing teen]

Yeah, we will all look like great, big wasps...

[Peach]

Rather look like a wasp than the Pillsbury Doughgirl.

To mangofever,
The gluteus maximus is not the largest muscle in the body. The latissimus dorsi is the largest muscle in the body. It is not comprised of two separate muscles as the gluteus maximus is.
