I don't like sports either, but it seems I have to show some interest in sports to meet women.

fake it!

if they ask who your favorite team players are, just cover your mouth and cough a little while you make up a name. if that doesn't work, ask her who she likes and then be all like "oh my god, those are my favorites too! they are so talented, they totally bring it!"

though if i went on a date with someone who insisted on talking sports, there'd be no date number two. i'm simply THAT much of a sports bigot.

Agreed

actionthisday said:

uh, why? if a guy says he isn't that into sports i'm immediately more interested.

Anxiety said:

we will have a sports ban at our house, Nick can have his own telly in his room

I married a man solely on that premise

this is why nick will live in the basement!

Everyone has an interest in some type of sport. For me, it's NASCAR and golf. If you don't like sports, you're dead inside.

NoChances said:

well that settles it

NoChances said:

you say that like it's a BAD thing.

Anxiety said:

I've heard sports gives you cancer

ZombieKitten said:

i'd ask the people who invented sports to defend this allegation, but guess what? THEY'RE DEAD.

But only on the outside.

Watching sports live, or on TV is wretched (for me). I´ve always hated it and found spectators ridiculous.

but doing it is great, usually
I play tennis
and think about doing other sports

ALL I KNOW IS,

i would much rather make out with someone who is a zombie on the inside than make out with someone who is a zombie on the outside.

and i have examples to back up my opinion if you don't believe me.

"give us a kiss love!"

This thread has gone horribly wrong.

UFC is the gayest shit ever. I love it.

And "Strike It Up" by Black Box is only heard one of two places:
a) before hockey highlights on the radio, or
b) your local drag show.

ITA and this is what I neglected to mention in my last post. I'm more interested in participating than spectating. I'm not the type to just sit around *watching* sports. That's where I have zero to little interest. My attention span for that is so low.

But other than that, it's awesome participating and I find it enjoyable.

Atheletes rival supermodels in their annoyance factor. And I understand companies want them to sell products once they're 'big', but if I have to sit through another one of Michael Phelp's stupid 'speed' related commercials where this ridiculously inarticulate guy tries to sell me utter crap, my brain is going to explode. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to bend Michael over my knee and turn his butthole into minced meat, but I don't want to see him actually talk to me, let alone sell me something. He's almost as bad as Micheal Jordan--lawd, sometimes I wondered if Jordan could even read the que cards he was handed, cause he struggled to even finish sentences sometimes--this dude could be president.

But I digress. I actually like watching some sports (American football, hockey , football (soccer), and dodgeball ). But I guess I'm very casual at watching them. I have to be bored, have lots of time, and nothing else to do. I don't plan my weekend around watching them, and when other people do, it's like watching those poor, regretfull souls, who get dressed up to attend 'midevil' or 'shakespear' festivals where everybody plays dressup on weekends and annoys the shit out of everyone else.

I followed hockey when I was a kid, and then baseball 'til about my mid-twenties. Since then, I'd rather have a root canal than watch a sporting event.

Don't play, don't watch.

I never watch sports.

I don't like the competitive element of sports.

I play recreational tennis to keep my sexy body in shape though.

Women seem to dig it. I went through an early-life crisis, worrying about whether or not I should question my masculinity because I had NO interest in sports, whatsoever. I fucking fell out while running up and down the stairs during football practice at the age of fifteen. Let's just face it. I'm not all that adept in the field of this very large spectrum that is athletic competition. Music WOULD have balanced out that fear and complex of whether or not I subconsciously withheld some regression about my acumen. Slamming on the axe is such a self-gratifying thing for the quintessential male Rock Star. So much for that shit!
