Athlete or Model?

Would you be happier with the title "professional indoor boulderer"?

Loads of people who describe themselves as climbers don't lead. Or don't climb outdoors. Or don't climb trad. Or climb multipitch. Or that cold scary stuff. Some probably don't even know how to tie into a rope. Climbing is rather varied these days. I know I'd rate indoor bouldering as the seriously dull end of the climbing spectrum, but hey, that's my taste. She freely says she does 90% of her climbing indoors and the V8s she does are indoor problems.

As a weak, bald, pasty white dude with crooked teeth everything about her annoys me; perfect blond hair; sun kissed skin; perfect white teeth and the fact she climbs harder than me...

I hate her; but envy her at the same time. I reckon good on her for being able to leverage something she enjoys into a money making endeavor. I want to get paid to eat Krispy Kreme's, suggestions?

I was hoping it was a clever made up term. It's apparently the UK form of gawking, which is not very interesting.

I wasn't aiming this specifically at you, it was a genuine question for all to consider.

I consider models as professional coat hangers;
"A model (from Middle French modelle),[1] is a person with a role either to promote, display, or advertise commercial products (notably fashion clothing) or to serve as a visual aide for people who are creating works of art."

It's like any high end of a constructed spectrum - highest grades; longest distance; best student; best synchronized swimming; fastest pie-eating competition.
People can react how they choose.

The media... Well, they're "people" too.

Common boys female porn stars do much better $$$'s than the boys (according to my research) and they don't don't to use a stunt c--k for the money shot!!! So she looks great and is cashing in. With shoulders like that, Mmmmm, maybe a close look at lady boy criteria is, (quickly now, google lady boy), "wow" anyway a bit of fun for you squares out. ;-)

Crack climbing tradster, fab nature photographer and base jumper - oh, and dog person. (Vegan but you can't have everything.)

Who cares about this Sierra dude?

Maybe the BASE jumping bit isn't for everybody but otherwise you would be hard pressed to find a better role model for all young women - not just climbers.

Actually no, I'm glued to I'm a celebrity get me out of here.

That's actually embedded slide show, still more images to bother your brain with. This is how people tend to react when men pose in the way women pose. Have you seen these shots?

I think they're great. It's a very simple way of demonstrating how ridiculous these way of viewing women are. Even If I put Chris Sharma in hot pants ....

Thanks Sabu, but I must really credit the model here - I came up with a few ideas and Douglas really ran with them. Tears of laughter were shed and cheeks hurt. But he's not just a himbo. He climbs 400 days a year and monitors social media 28/7. It's a busy job. Definitely professional.
