HEy do guys get upset if a girl is really athletic and is really better than they are does that turn a guy away? And do guys hate when a girl is really competitive?
Competitiveness is fine to an extent. If the girl makes everything a competition and cannot stand to lose, then yes, it is a huge turn off. But a little competition never hurt anyone, so when it's toned down, it's fine.

I am one of those girls and I have always been great friends with alot of guys, most of which I dated at one point or another. You just have to find a guy who is up to the challenge and who is not easily intimidated.

I doubt a guy would really dislike a girl if she was better at him at something, some guys could see that as a challenge. However, some guys could also feel that they're being shown up by a girl, which could bother them. It's the same situation for when a girl is competitive. I'd say that guys probably like girls who are competitive in a more playful sense than anything else. If it's an aggressive/angry competitive, I'd think that the guys might back away a little.
If a guy's into challenges/games/sports, he'd probably find the competitive/athletic girl more appealing. If he's more reserved or maybe wants more of a girly girl, he'd probably have to try harder to fall for the competitive/athletic girl.
Hope this has helped, and don't compromise yourself for a guy--The right one will see you for what you are. (:

On the other hand to have a girl that can also get down with the rest of them is like triple fudge with extra whipped cream. And then if she is competitive and can actually get in someones face is like triple the triple fudge! I love to swim in deep water. My three girls can follow right behind. They are also competitive to the point that they could whip most of their boyfriends. But they are girls first! They want to have a strong man in their life so they have something to measure up to. How good would they feel about a guy they can whip, and beat him in everything? They are very independent and can make decisions on their own. They have the guts to stand up for what they think is right and do something if it isn't. So to answer your question, men who have a problem with women like that should be avoided. Some guys like to play sports and would like it if their wifes or girl friends would play along side them. And to know that if they win they can rub it in someones face, as men like to do, That's what you call a dream girl. Just remember not to compete to strongly with your boyfriend and show HIM up ALL the time. Sometimes is good. [ mikesadvice's advice column | Ask mikesadvice A Question ]

Go for the guys that are just as athletic or just as competitive. Or even guys who are supportive of your sport and competitions. That way, they can cheer for their girl and be like "YEAH! THAT'S MY BABY RIGHT THERE!"
