Victoria Milan, a dating website for attached people looking to cheat, conducted a survey of 3,256 of its female members, asking questions to discover what exactly it is that sets sporting champions apart from regular, talented men.
The body was ranked the number one attraction, with 39% of women voting for a trim, toned and taut body. Money was a fairly close second, with 25% of women looking for cold, hard cash. Fame and success were rated third and fourth respectively.
Brains certainly lost out to brawn, with just 8% of women claiming intelligence attracts them to a sporting personality.

| 1. Surfing | 23.4% |
| 2. Football | 16.2% |
| 3. Swimming | 12.5% |
| 4. Baseball | 8.9% |
| 5. Tennis | 8.4% |
| 6. Motor Sport | 7.3% |

CEO and Founder of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said the results indicated that while it’s clear women like a little excitement in their lives, almost half will settle for an affair with a regular, but talented man.
“Only 7% more of respondents are interested in the “added extras” such as large bank accounts, magazine covers, fancy cars and designer clothing. Real women are looking for real men – but having the physique of a sports star will increase the chances for gentlemen looking for a good time. Vedal said the results indicated that while it’s clear women like a little excitement in their lives, almost half will settle for an affair with a regular, but talented man.
“What’s really telling is that 99% of women surveyed said they would be scared of being exposed having an affair with a sports star than a regular Joe. While it might be a bit of fun behind closed doors, the reality of it might not be so attractive,” Vedal said.
