| I voted for epee, since my taste tends towards tall and skinny. Also, I have seen far too many hot epee women to vote for any other weapon, though there is something automatically sexy about women who fence, regardless of their weapons.

| Fencing in the US in general seems to attract some rather weird looking, magic-card-loving freaks of nature. All the US girls that I have seen at fencing competitions have been rather dumpy. But I'm pretty mean, and so it's OK. I enjoy making fun of the American fatties in between bouts.
That said, outside of the US, humans actually fence, so they can be reasonably attractive. I think that's probably why everyone seems to be masturbating in excess over Gruchala's "sexy" fencing pictures. I mean, she actually looks like a girl. And for US fencers, that's a real rare thing.  | |

| Well, she's on the entry list for Nationals, so I guess she's still competing...

| Fair enough. It just seems like several years since I've seen her at a national event. I guess the modeling/acting thing took up a lot of time...that or she's suddenly become a lot worse of a fencer than she used be

| Yeah, Christa is very good looking and knows how to dress well. I had the pleasure of having dinner and then wandering around vegas with her at the 05 duel in the desert, and it was a fun time.

Oh wait. This isn't the insult the person above you thread...

Anyway, I've got to go for Epee. I generally like taller girls. Plus, my GF fences Epee, so I'm a tad bias.  | |

| Q: Which weapon has the best looking fencers?
A: Epee. Duh.
They should put it in the FAQ section, maybe then people will stop asking silly questions

| Yes, I imagine that "duh" is very commonly heard in the epee world...

| I think I look normal enough to go ahead and say Epee. http://www.myspace.com/wigglydan
Nevermind the fact that I'm fencing foil in my pictures... I'm an epee... really... | |
