SHE DOESN'T LIKE SPORTS...DEAL BREAKER??

This topic was created in the Relationships & Astrology forum by pinklibra on Friday, June 13, 2014 and has 30 replies.
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if this is a deal breaker for most men. I dont really get into sports,I can watch basketball and actually have fun if i know which team i'm supposed to root for.lol. However i dont exactly have a team i just love. Anyway, i dont want to be one of those girls whom fake to love sports, because i honestly feel men can see through it anyway, and it annoys them. Football I love the excitement but i'd be lying if i said i understood the actual game.lol.
Then to make matters worse, i had a movie night with a friend. "MOVIE NIGHT" as in we are supposed to watch movies. Well in the middle of the movie he wants to turn on the game, I warned him that it was late and i have to be up at 7am and that if the game came on i just might fall asleep. Well he did it anyway, and i was knocked out by 3rd quarter.
Any thoughts? If your girl doesn't really get into sports is it a deal breaker?

I'm not a guy but I think you're a absolutely fine hunny.
I promise no man who really likes you will dump you bc you're not into sports. He will probably just teach you the basics so you're not totally lost. But dump you? That's SO far fetched.
details
Lol if a man hates you or dumps you because of sports, he got issues. I'm more of a basketball & Wrestling fan. So if i was dating a good woman who didn't like my kind of sports, it's not a deal breaker. As long as i get watch an hr of Wrestling on tv, im good. Because when you living with someone, you may have to share the tv haha. Just don't ruin the guys mood during sports, just because you don't like it ok.
details
I don't think it's a deal breaker at all. Of course, it would be a huge BONUS for some men if you were into sports, but I definitely don't think it would make them break up with you. As long as you're not standing in front of the TV bc you're mad he's looking at sports, then it's no Big Deal. Plus, that'll give him something ELSE to teach you, if you wanted to learn... Winking
details
Just tell him you have a better half time show that what they put on TV. Winking Devil
Also you can increase your interest in making a bet with him. Pick something so you both win. Winking
Now all practicality aside,
You can always be piddling around in the kitchen making his favorite snacks while the game is on.
You can do your own thing, go shopping, for example so he can watch the game in peace.
Ask him to teach you (still doesn't work for me).
Sit next to him on the couch and read a book while he watches the game.
I find that my interest for a sport gets peaked if I can see some live games and feel the energy. So treat him out to the ballpark.
details
I think the deal breaker would be if you pretended to like sports and he finds out you really don't. I think he would be disappointed in that you faked your interest. He would wonder what else you were faking.
details
I may be different tho, but i don't really like football, unless im at someone house & have to watch it. I can't sit through it either lol. I will though if im with family. But i rather not when i'm not with them. I just can't do it haha. I like something fast paced & action filled. But hey that's just my opinion or how i always been. Don't feel bad libra
details
I definitely agree with TrueCaps & ChocolateAries comments lol. You could definitely do those things so you don't feel left out. But do, stay out of his way

Stop caring what men think.

Well I??m not gay and I do want to be happy with a man one day LunairMiaden so I??m not sure how that would happen if I didn??t make it a point to care about what my man likes ESPECIALLY if I expect him to care about what I like.
SMH??_feminist are a trip lol.
details
I was just wondering if all men thought it was a deal breaker or not. I already said I was not about to force myself to like sports, or fake like I love sports to catch a man. So thanks everyone for the responses, they confirmed my thoughts. I??m glad to hear it.lol. I see a lot of irriated post on Instagram by guys saying how they can??t stand it when I girl fake like she knows sports, or all of sudden she??s all into the season trying to catch a man. lol

pink - You not liking sports is not a deal breaker. It is almost expected.
Ladies that love sports, and are knowledgeable about them, is not very common.
The deal breaker comes into play IF -- you complain about your man watching sports, and make demands of his time during his 'must watch' events.
In my case, SEC football is a non-negotiable. To a lesser extent NFL football, but still important.
I give my ladies February through August, whatever you want to do -- let's do it.
September through January is mine...... Winking

Cap Tenn, that is sooooo fair!
But there are some guys who watch sports year round - basketball, baseball, NASCAR, etc.
details
As long as I can watch my Wrestling on Monday Nights, im kool lol. I can miss a basketball game or 2 if it meant spending time with special someone. But Pink Libra, it would be best to talk to your friend about this. Im sure you can work out something together

I used to when I was younger.
I lost interest in basketball and baseball as far as watching it goes.
I also realized how much time I was wasting, and how it was totally unfair to my now ex-wife.
Shoulda kept watching....haha

wtf is this?
Why would any person even have thoughts revolving around molding themselves to seek approval enough to feel worthy of being chosen as a partner?
My mind cannot even grasp this low of a concept ...

The first game that my country plays in the football world cup is going on right now... I couldn't care less.
So no, I don't really care if she is into sports or not.

Pink, it has nothing to do with being gay nor feminist.
More to do with living your life and being your truest most authentic self not what a guy wants you to be. I have found that I am at my most happiest and attract more male attention when I am focused on me instead of wondering what the guys are thinking or doing.

SMH??_.



I don't think it's necessary to care about what your SO enjoys or likes, but I think respecting and accepting that something may be important to them is. I'm not quite sure why some folks think you need to be joined by the hip to your partner, doing and enjoying everything the other likes and that this means you have a solid relationship.
You entered the relationship with individual interests and these interests shouldn't be forced on another or be a deal breaker because the other person could give a rat's ass about it. That is what your friends or for. I'd make some jerk wings and sandwiches, chill a few beers, give him a kiss and tell him not to make a mess and go pamper myself or see a movie. Wth? I'm not trying to be, bend or mould myself into someone I am not.
You shouldn't be expected to like (or care about) everything your partner likes or participate in it. You simple need to give each other space to enjoy said activity and not feel threatened by it.

^^^^ yes they do! there is nothing more boring than a guy shouting at a screen where 20 or so men are chasing a football or even worse punching the shite out of each other in a boxing ring
yep, speaks volumes for sure

uughhh ugghhhhhh
lol


starlover -- tell us some things that you like.
I'm at the ready to tell you how boring and idiotic your interests are.

I love sportsLaughing
details
I completely suck at fashion though but that's why I don't get with Venusian Men.
They'd find this most unattractive about me.
details
I don't like sports & I don't pretend to like it just to make a guy happy. I was with someone who lived cricket, a sport I find very boring if I may add (in a tie with golf). I never sat around for the long, dull matches. If there was one on the tv, I went to the room to watch things I found interesting. He never dumped me just because I hated what he loved lol.
Just stay real & if he genuinely cares then your lack of interest wont be a big deal.

What a silly question, if any man bases his decision on whether to pursue a relationship with you off of your disinterest in sports then its really his lost, not yours.
I for one don't see why a woman needs to be interested in sports, I played sports in high school but GOD do I hate watching sports on the television. So long as I allow the guy to watch his sports in peace then I see no reason what me not being right there with him have to do with anything. I'd much rather whip him and his friends up some tasty treats to enjoy the game (not playing a 1950s housewife--I just love to cook) then sit around and watch men throwing, bouncing, or kicking a ball back and forth.
details
LOL. I don??t think it was a silly question, it was legitimate, shoot I really wanted to know, But whatever, thanks for all the responses.. Got my answer. ???NO THEY DON??T CARE.??LOL. And I noticed someone asked was this post about my Gemini interest, the answer is no. The gem actually plays basketball for a living, he doesn??t really care as long as I don??t root for the other team he says.lol. I like him because he??s a lot like me, nothing really gets under his skin like that, he??s not very tedious like that.

Yeah, it was legitimate for a women who is so subservient that she doesn't have any principals of her own to values, so by doing this, she renders herself dependent upon a guy to approve of her, for her, so she can feel worthy.

Actually, most men do care when a women can't be arsed to have a good self esteem and confidence enough to be independent.
By you saying that that was answer you were looking for, means that you couldn't care a less how insignificant you present yourself ... and that's very disturbing.
I can't imagine an American woman placing herself on such a low platform.
Do you honestly believe a guy, ANY guy, would want a woman who will bark on command?
Like really?

But, that's not the case .. the guy is NOT basing decision on this.
SHE is basing her actions on whether or not he would approve of her if she did or did not do this.
So, if she is that small, that insignificant (as according to where she placed herself) ... then how is that a loss to him? If he didn't want her because of this mind-set she has, then that's his gain.
That's not a loss. A woman who has no values of her own isn't a prize ... she's a burden.
