Why do so many guys look at cheerleaders as sex objects? Does that take the appeal out of wanting to become a cheerleader for many girls?

Why are the words "SEX" and "CHEERLEADER" synonymous to most guys?

Don't tell me it isn't true, you can not say the word "Cheerleader" around a group of guys without having a provocative slur or joke made... you know I'm right guys!

Maybe many girls have no problem with it and know in advance that it is just part of the job, or even like it, but what about the athletic girls that just love it as a sport and do not want to be looked upon as a sex object for doing what they love?

A. Get your head out of the sand Laurie, it's not possible to avoid! When you wear a sexy uniform and throw your legs in the air, that is what happens

B. YES! It is just part of the territory when joining a cheerleading squad. In fact, many cheerleaders thrive off of the "sex object" status that it brings!

C. I disagree! It is ridiculous that guys look at cheerleaders as sex objects. It is no different than figure skating, gymnastics, ballet or many forms of dancing. Some guys just see any female not dressed in a burqa as sexually provocative

  • Its a combination of many things, they basically wear a bikini, their routine.. most of them are sexually appealing (my opinion)

  • Because they're very sexy, that IS their purpose and guys love to look at half naked chicks! It's NATURE!!

  • The skimpy outfits and sexy dancing. Many girls become cheerleaders because they enjoy male attention.
    Cheerleaders are sexy because guys remember their teens and how they lusted always after cheerleaders.

  • Well, most girls who do cheerleading want to be treated like sex objects 😐 literally look at how they dress and what most cheerleaders love lives are like

  • Omfg really?

    It's litterally their job to stand there half naked and dance around and strut their stuff. No one goes to a football game for the cheerleaders...

    • ^^ this.

  • Great pics.

  • If they wanted to be respected as "athletes" they wouldn't need to dress that way. They know that most of their appeal, and the way they make money is by sex appeal. And many professional cheerleaders suck at it, including watching the NFL cheerleaders perform their routines at games.

  • i do not see anything wrong with it
    being sexual is a way to seduce too, i think it is just very human

  • because cheerleaders are usually not fat landwhales. if you don't wanna be sexy, then don't be a cheerleader xD i have no issue with girls that choose not to do that.

    there's also nothing wrong with being a sex object. i know girls are so super scared of only being seen for their body but there's nothing wrong with having a sexy body that people like looking at. it's up to you to bring more to the table than that and if people don't appreciate if you do, just don't deal with those people.

  • Options A, B, and D are all right

  • ... Why do guys find objectively physically attractive females objectively physically attractive? And why do guys want to have sex with physically attractive females?
    1) Because they're objectively physically attractive, and
    2) because males want to have sex with physically attractive females.

    I don't understand your question. It's rather obvious.

  • You're showing pics of professional cheerleaders. WHY do NFL teams even HAVE cheerleaders... it's to fill the void in the TV time outs and other stoppages... and to be sex objects ! LOL

  • Let's all be asexual and pretend that we don't want to reproduce with someone who has a socially desired beauty standard.

  • Only creepy old men think cheerleaders as sex objects

  • Almost naked ladies selected because of their looks making sensually aggressive moves towards a predominantly male crowd.

    And you wonder why.

    THEY ARE SEX OBJECTS!

  • Where could people possibly conflate the two?

  • I do think it goes with the territory. They are there to be eye candy as they tend to be the prettiest girls. There is nothing wrong with this. In the same way girls will lust after the football players, in both cases, they tend to be the most popular groups of people at the school.

  • Eh it's the uniform. They make it so sexy and revealing that all eyes go there!
    And when all eyes are there, so fixated a gaze, all is lost. You just don't wanna stop looking.

  • burkas can be very sexy,😉 I'm just saying.
    .

  • A cheerleaders job is to pep up the people and make them happy so that the players get a boost of ego driven drive to win! What is not sexually attractive about that?
