[QUOTE="Basil Ransom, post: 170992, member: 49"] With all due respect, no, it isn't. I lived in the beach volleyball capital of the world. It was far far far from an oasis of femininity. That said, if you like statuesque blonde girls, it's pretty good. Pretty much any team sport is masculinizing, because [i]competition[/i] is masculinizing. The most feminine girls don't naturally enjoy sports, unless it has an element of the theatrical. Better options are pursuits that are solitary or 'showy.' In the latter category, I'd put dancing and some gymnastics. In the former, I'd put things like rock climbing, weight lifting, running. The solitary ones might or might not bulk a girl up, but they wouldn't have the corrosive [i]mental[/i] effect that team sports would. I haven't studied it, but they seem to have the same effect that any hard hobby would, like playing the violin. That said, any endeavor that isn't explicitly feminine could have an androgynizing effect. Ie, she should have at least some explicitly feminine hobbies. [/QUOTE]
