Suni Lee says she prefers dating athletes over other men.
Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee has revealed she prefers dating athletes over other men, and the internet is acting shocked like they didn’t already know that 90% of high-performing people prefer someone who can keep up. Because apparently, dating a man who complains after walking up two flights of stairs just doesn’t cut it for someone who does triple flips before breakfast.
Let’s be real. If you’re Suni Lee, you do not have time to explain why you need to train six hours a day to someone whose daily exercise involves scrolling TikTok aggressively. Athletes understand dedication. They know what it’s like to wake up at 5 AM, not because there’s a new video game release, but because there’s conditioning.
“I think it’s really funny,” Lee said. “Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s just like a joke or if they’re being for real, but it’s really funny to me.”
Lee also admitted she’s seen ALL the videos of men swooning over her on the internet … so keep that in mind next time ya hit “publish.”
Suni isn’t settling for less, she wants someone in her category and not just any man.
“I feel like my type is, like, athletes. I like a very emotionally intelligent man because I feel like a lot of the guys that I’ve, like, talked to or come across, they always just end up being so immature.”
Lee also narrowed the field a bit more … saying she would only date a guy about five years older than her, but loves a man that’ll make her laugh and show he cares.
At the end of the day, if you’re flipping over balance beams for a living, dating someone who understands why your calves hurt all the time isn’t “picky,” it’s smart. So yes, Suni Lee prefers athletes. She wants someone who trains hard, dreams big, and won’t complain when she beats them in a sprint.
Sorry to all the “I used to play JV basketball” guys. This league is professional only.
