I'm not one of those people who thinks with my dick and my dick only. I grew up in an educated family and cannot stand airheads, we need to be intellectually and emotionally compatible.
If you must know, it is a short term goal of mine (3-6 months) to begin and maintain a serious fitness regimen. However, I'm not going to have the physique of a Greek god in 3-6 months. That's why the question, as Gridlock so eloquently put it, was "is the fact that I'm attracted to athletic girls a problem if I'm not that athletic myself". I'm not up to their level of fitness-yet. But I wish to be.
Do I sound like a flip-flopper? Probably. But your posts have challenged me to reassess my views and life goals, and I can't say that about a lot of things that have happened in my life recently.

My thoughts are the same as Dinosaur's.
I'm attracted to focus and discipline, too. I'm attracted to non-athletic and athletic women with focus and discipline, however, and you appear very focused on athletic women. You're flip flopping to not sound so superficial. The fact is though, the thoughts you're posting reflect superficiality. Superficiality is hardly uncommon, and it's not a terribly heinous quality. It's something to consciously consider in your dating life, though, because it must be kept in check.
To address the heart of your post, yes, you can attract an athletic woman whether you're comparably athletic or not. It's your overall personality, reflected though self-confidence and interests, that any decent woman's ultimately looking at.
