 Ive dated a number of men who either dont watch any football at all, or watch only the superbowl because its a party with his chums. I dated one who like only the steelers but even then, didnt feel the need to watch all the games.
Its not the chupacabra after all, but you should ask in the beginning if its important so nobuddy gets all hurt n junk. I hate shoe shopping btw. 
Yeah, bring it up in the beginning and make sure they know you're not into football and expect to be able to spend Sundays with them without watching games. At least that way, you're upfront about it. I'm not a big fan of shopping. I will go shopping when I need things, but I don't do it for fun. There are so many more things that seem much more fun. |

is there a man out there who doesn't watch football? or at least is not totally obsessed by it? who could - miss a game (yes I uttered those words)??? to spend time with a woman? just curious Honestly couldn't name 3 players in the entire sport. Never really enjoyed watching other people play games, I'd rather go out and do something myself. Don't see the attraction at all. So Yes there is and you found him. 
Sweetestgirl, here's the one you're looking for! |

I have no problem with guys watching sports. I'm not into NFl, but if it's a hockey game, or college basketball or football, I'd be happy to watch. Otherwise, not giving him a hard time about wanting to watch his team is the best way to go in my experience. If you let them enjoy what they like to watch, they're much more likely to be happy to spend time with you before or after the game. you have totally missed my point, I agree with you however, I prefer someone who does not have that issue No, I get your point. You want a guy who doesn't like football, or at least doesn't watch it much. I get that. Just be up front about that from the very beginning, as if you wait until later on to tell them, you're going to have trouble if you get mad at them for wanting to watch games. |

My ex-husband was really into hunting and he'd watch the hunting channel and outdoor channel non-stop when he was home. Which was fine, but he wanted me to watch, too. Watching a hunting show is like watching a Nascar race. NOTHING happens. The hunter sits behind the tree whispering at you for an hour until BAM! he shoots Bambi's mom and it's all over
I'd rather watch football. Or soccer or anything where at least something is going on.

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  
What qualifies as an obsession to you? Watching all the games their team plays? Watching several teams? Watching each week? What is it? not sure I can describe it - if their entire lives revolve around the sport and it's all they talk about to the extent that it were to interfere in a relationship - be it just dating or a partnership If it is an issue - that is too much - I don't want to have to deal with it at all, and I do not want a guy guilt tripping over a missed game. prefer he not care that he missed a game but if he wants to go DO something like watch a sport once in awhile at the stadium- that's cool. that's about the best explanation I can think of |

I know guys who really like football, but not that have their entire lives revolving around it. I just don't see wanting to follow a team or sport as an obsession, unless they refuse to do anything else. So, I haven't experienced that. |

I'd never sit through a hunting show. Nascar is boring, as is golf. I did go to grand prix this year in Baltimore, which was a bit more fun than watching car racing on tv, but even then, I was not into staying all day. I actually like Hockey, so I'm happy to watch if it's the Caps. If it's another team, I'm not so interested. I have a few college teams I like as well, so I'm fine with watching college football or basketball as well. And even baseball if it's the Nats. |

I used to tell him that for every hour I watched hunting/fishing he had to watch Lifetime with me. |

I think if someone likes it that is fine - but if it is the only topic of conversation and it's all they do....I would not be happy and then he would not be happy because I am not happy and then he'd ask what's wrong and I'd say nothing and then he'd say you're mad because I'm going to Bert's to watch the game and I'd say no I am not mad but I am sad because I really care for u but I do not think we will be compatabile.....etc 
just kinda drawing on experience here |

I enjoy watching football, basketball, hockey and some baseball...although baseball can get a bit boring, too. Now going to a game is completely different. That is FUN. Sometimes I take my kids to the Jethawks games here. We haven't been to see a Dodger game in eons, but those used to be fun. Before all the gang members started going and assaulting everyone.
