i know plenty of straight men who give a **** about sports.

hmmmm - I can see why they're taken


honestly I don;t care if a man enjoys some sports - I enjoy some sports and played sports all my life

but the total obsession with football turns me off - that doesn't mean I'm at all opposed to taking in an occasional game - I actually enjoy that....the key word is o-c-c-a-s-i-o-n-a-l

Awwww....thanks for using that adjective STRAIGHT....me too honored

I really don;t

I think it's because I am an athlete - I never talked to a non athlete for longer than 5 minutes

that I know of anyway - it's just been my life for so long. I really get turned off by the football obssesion tho

it's like - you meet a great guy - you are totally in sync - and then find out that he'd rather talk to the boyz about football than shop for shoes

totally depressing

i kick all those phuckin ********. Football had never been a reason to skip date. But if its basketball match, I'd skip my own wedding.

i strongly dislike jocks.
ironically,
my favorite person is a jock.
imagine that.
he's also artsy though.
i suppose that makes up for it.

Miss a football game to spend time with a woman? Does she have like tickets to the game or something?.......

yes I would prolly too

except round ball fans are just as bad - I guess what it comes down to is the obsessed factor

fan - yes
obsessed - no

it's funny you should say that because I like jocks - it's obsessed fans is where the turn off comes in - whether or not they were/are jocks IRL

some of us (athletes & former athletes) are getting enough - got enough of sports IRL so don;t need to obsess -that is how I am

possibly

i believe obsessive fans aren't jocks.
unless you count sitting on the couch eating crap as their sport.

Football, like any other interest, should be shared. If you like something, you should just do it - and if you can do it with that special someone, even better! :)

TBH - I follow one team during the football season, and don't find myself watching many games because it's just not a priority for me. I'll forego watching a game if there are plans for something else to do, no problem.

agreed. But cant you girls join us guys watchin the games? Even though you dont have any interest. The same way, some guys dont like to go shopping with their girl. I hate shopping. It takes hours for a chick to choose somethin. Grrrr I'd rather choose an agreement in which both the parties agree to join in each others interest on every weekend. This way they can understand each other.

4get it! Men are MEN. Let them be. I find that the best thing to do when they're acting like cavemen, go shopping!!

possibly true - in a general sense

yes priorities are important! see y'all later & thanks for chatting

yes see the above post

great minds think alike

women & men should have their separate hobbies. The last thing I need is some stressed out guy ruining my shopping trip! agree to have your own separate hangouts!

I think that is true sometimes

but I would not be happy in a relationship that invoves an obsession with being a spectator to the extent that many men are

been there done that in relationships & it didn't work

again because of the no compromise obsession factor

and I know Ima challenge because I am also not interested in a man who feels that he is compromising to be with me

I prefer someone who truly doesn't care that much one way or the other about pro sports - an attitude similar to my own. I find a shared compatibility to be the healthiest approach

all jesting aside

I happen to love football!!.. All sports actually.

But, I'd miss a game anytime to hang out with my girl if I had one...
