I agree with kew (Karen) somewhat.  I have many lady friends who are
charming, but fundamentally sedentary.  Not all of them are overweight,
just underactive.  I have to remember not to suggest squash, motorcycling,
handball, or even raquetball (playable at some level by almost anyone),
in order to avoid terrible inequities of physical competence.  I did meet
a very good squash player in a tournament once, class B(men's),
a young woman who had played on the Princeton team,
and although my experience was far greater, because of her stamina 
and great accuracy, we were almost exactly equal players. 
It was a wonderful match, a fine experience.  I keep looking for
women who can play, who can let go of their cares for a few minutes, but
like so many men these days, their minds, and their spirits, are
focussed on some sort of goals that were programmed in long ago,
a columned house, a suburban life, 2.37 children and a cocker spaniel,
the presidency of AT&T ... who knows.
