Which weapon has the best looking fencers?

[gh02t]

So this is a little more light-hearted thread. My club and I were discussing which weapon's competitors are the best looking. We couldn't decide, so now I pose the question to you guys. Don't forget that you don't have to vote for your personal weapon of choice (for all you narcissists out there), just the one that has the best looking people.

Foil.

Epeeists tend to be physical mutants (tall and gangly, rake-thin but with enormous birdlike wingspans). Saber fencers all look like they're wearing diapers, especially when practicing in warm-up pants.

Also, the sleeveless vest lame is hopelessly dashing.

Foilists are. . . lovely creatures. Tinkerbell comes to mind, or Peter Pan. Except when they're facing one another twisting and grimly stabbing from somewhere around behind their necks.
Epeeists would be attractive if they were somewhat less indifferent to their appearance. All that Pillsbury Doughboy whiteness doesn't help.
Sabre fencers have high variability in attractiveness. Some of the best-looking people are sabre fencers, and some of the most incredible mutant trolls too. I like watching the sabre fencers the most, though.

Most of the ladies at my club are foil fencers, and they're all very lovely. I haven't seen too many female epeeists outside of the ones who have posted their pics here on Fnet, though there's no denying that they are some of the most beautiful creatures I've seen. And I've yet to see a female sabreur that didn't rival the legendary notions of a Venus or Aphrodite. *sigh* After watching Sada Jacobson on TV during the 04 olympics, I'd have to say I'm somewhat biased toward saber fencers.

[OROD]

Foil. There are, however, many hot epee chicks. Cant deny it.

womens epeeists

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Epeeists of the female variety. Female sabre fencers all tend to have copiously sized glutes.

Hehe. I was thinking exactly the same thing, but hadn't articulated it quite so well.

I did vote for sabre fencers. I admit that I could be biased. I fence in a sabre-only club that is graced with some very fine-looking men. Admittedly they all tend to fence in absolutely ratty-looking gear, but this is offset by the fact that (in this pleasant San Diego climate) they tend to strip half their clothes off at the end of the practice session. No complaints from the women fencers at this club, no sirree.

(We all have spouses/significant others outside the club, so it's all good clean fun )

Just more to love. When you grow up, you'll be able to better appreciate the female form.

I agree about the female epeeists, but you make a strong case for female saber fencers as well.

Ain't nuthin wrong with that. Since sabre fencers have the most aggressive footwork, ones of the female variety tend to have extraordinarily developed legs, which is a good thing if you ask me.

Unfortunately it seems sabre tends to draw some of the most physically lacking specimens as well.

Female sabre fencers are great if you like women with butts so hard you can break a 2x4 against them.

Not for me.

[Peach]

Not for me.

You prefer your 2x4s NOT to break when you hit women with them

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to

Its a figure of speech.

[Peach]

Yes, dear, I are a English teacher, I recognize figures of speech . And who says I don't want the answer?

Meh, I dunno. I'm not intimidated if a woman is in better shape then I am. I would definetly prefer it, actually. Though not to the extent that the above can be taken literally

[gh02t]

Sabre fencers, I find, are generally too aggressive for me and I cant think of many [any] attractive sabre fencers.
Even though I'm an epeeist, I find foilist females to be the nicest to look at.

[qatet]

Too difficult to decide between foil and sabre. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - a close-fitting lame on a fit human body is, indeed, the sexiest article of clothing ever invented. My oh my, do I love fencing tournaments.

(retreats to another room... quickly wipes off drool before students can see and snicker)

You sure that's drool you're wiping...?
