For example, are you 7 feet tall? Then you'd do well as an NBA Center. Are you 300 pounds? Then you should play Defensive End or something similar in Football. 4 foot 10 and female? Go be a Gymnast.

I'm 5 foot 10, 140 and am probably best as a middle distance runner. What about you people?

around 5'9" (although people say i must be taller so i've got to re measure myself, it's been a couple of years since i have) and around 170lbs, 155-160lbs lean, wide shoulders, strong, i'd say i look most like a wrestler, i'm a lightweight rower.

5'6" and 134 lbs. (I'm female), I've got broad shoulders though.

I usually get pegged for soccer (which I did competitively for about ten years), or some other contact sport, like field hockey, rugby or lacrosse.

I fence, but since a) most people don't know what that means and b) fencers come in all shapes and sizes, I don't expect to be recognized as one.

If someone knows what they're looking for (over-developed dominant side of the body, noticeably large muscles in the dominant hand, dime-sized black bruising), I fit the bill.

I look like a lightweight cuban volleyboll player.

180 cm, 63kg, really slim but fit and sexy.

I'm slim in a petit way, not bony with huge skeleton hands and sharp angles. My wrists are thin and my hands small and overall my body is very softly shaped. Kind of like an asian/japanese, even though I'm white. I think many asian men have my body type.

I'm 5'3" and thin but strong. I look like-and am-a gymnast. I also get asked about diving and dancing a lot.

I am 5'7 and bulky - 198 pounds right now, hoping to get back down to 150 - I weighed 220 as recently as May.

Right now I look like an American football running back, hopefully I look like a soccer striker in another few months

5' 10" at 240 lbs. I'll say american football player. (but realistically 5'10" is too short for pro football)

I am just under 6 foot tall and build like we say in Aus (like a brick sh-t house) or Front Row Foaward........... I'm not telling you my weight because.....................ummmm..................... I don't know how to convert pounds to kilo's or the other way around..........Yeah thats a good excuse....................... By now you will realise I am female and thus my description of my physicl attributes are less than ideal.

I find the idea of being a Sumo Wrestler not so appealing, but I do a very good impersonation of of one. LOL

Cheers
