| Not at all. The poll asks which weapon, not weapons. Forces you to make sweeping generalizations about each individual weapon.

| Oh come one guys, this is an easy one. We all know epeeist females are the hottest. (And we've got models to boot!) Now the guys, it depends they kind of run between foil and epee. But the taller ones fence epee. (try going to one of the Vanderbilt tournaments and you'll see what I mean) With sabreurs you can't tell if they're men or women by their uniform and they're always yelling, so if it was a woman, her voice is just as low as a guy's by the time the pool is done. 
BJ - What's this? Seeing DE behind my back, eh...what have I told you about that? No more AIM or myspace for you!
DE - Watch out, this one *points above* smells suspicious.
PS - Hey guys! I'm back! | |

PS - Hey guys! I'm back! | Granted, there are some very hot female epeeists (case in point above  ) but I still stand by my decision on sabreurs. Not everyone goes for the model, stick insect look.
BTW: Glad to have you back.

| Actually I think this thread needs some further clarification...the sweeping generalizations about each gender actually change with respect to certain factors.
That being said I'm gonna go ahead and vote for saber b/c while I can find pros and cons for all weapons WS is the only weapon that consistently produces fencers I think I could date for longer than a week.

Oh yeah, thanks Jack. You know not all of us can have meat on our bones! Some of us are stuck with the stick-thin insect look whether we like it or not (though I'll keep with it for the moment. I can move quicker) | |

| Beauty is more than skin deep--that's what makes sabre fencers the most attractive as a group.
However, I do know some very attractive epeeists and a few attractive foil fencers.
Bottom line: women who fence well are generally pretty attractive, even if they don't meet standard definitions of beauty.

| To my point of view, best looking male fencers are sabre fencers, they are violent and ambitious, especially when a sabre fencer chops his competitor after getting priority.
And to the female fencers, epee fencers are the best looking due to their beau geste | |

And not every guy goes for a woman with a fuller figure either. Personally, I enjoy a little variety every now and then. Though generally I find women saber fencers more attractive.

| It has to be epee fencers. They are the only ones that will touch you below the waist | |
