[polymath]

I believe that one thing that attractive, sexually desirable men and women generally have in common is a high regard for their own physical fitness.

Think of your most masculine heroes and role models. I bet that most of them exhibit a high regard for appearance, or at least they look damn good.

John F. Kennedy Wrote:

For physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong; that hardy spirits and tough minds usually inhabit sound bodies.

In this sense, physical fitness is the basis of all the activities of our society. And if our bodies grow soft and inactive, if we fail to encourage physical development and prowess, we will undermine our capacity for thought, for work and for the use of those skills vital to an expanding and complex America.
