Do girls like fighters?

Is this high school? I'm a Capoeira artist myself, and yet I don't go around prancing that I can fight or defend myself. The point is, I think there are more variables why girls aren't dating guys like you.

For one, your aggression level is higher than the average male. This might be wrong statistically, but outward appearance and profession go a long way in how a girl views a fighter. Second, you need a real job. Most fighters never make it into MMA, and it's a tough profession. So that's a big reason why girls don't date guys like you. Next, this is a civil world. Just cause you can beat someone up doesn't mean your better or should be better than the next guy. This is why a football player, or a "gorgeous guy" would seem better on paper than a MMA guy.

Last but not least, it's all in the person. If you can somehow fight but remain a cuddly bear in private, than your just going to have to wait til a great girl comes along and wants to see that side of you. Otherwise, your going to be chosen based on many factors such as those above.

when we say that we want to feel safe and protected, it's not like we're expecting to get mauled everyday and need a body guard to start a fight for us. we mean someone who will protect us emotionally, and in my opinion, this hyper-aggressiveness you have is really intimidating, so try to open up your sensitive side a little more, and you might have better luck.

Well basically its not about what the activities are. I like a guy for his personality. And the fact that your griping about this isn't an attractive quality.

And 2nd of all...why would you want a girl to like you only based on you interests.

Its kinda stupid if you ask me.

Maybe its not the fact that you are a fighter and they are football players, I would look into your personality and see what else these guys have that you don't. The vibe I get from you is a very extreme one, so maybe turning your personality down a notch would make you seem more approachable.

Not all of us "desire" the football players and wrestlers. We desire a guy who will look out for us, watch our back and be loyal regardless of his "girth or physical abilities."

Some girls go through a phase where they want to date the bad boy, the jock etc. It's all part of the novelty and romanticism of dating. As soon as she matures and has done a lot of dating, then she will begin to see what REALLY matters in a partner and relationship.

Don't despair, someone will be encapsulated by you solely and what you have to offer. Yes, it's frustrating when you see and experience the same things over and over. Just remember it doesn't apply to all females.

BTW, good luck with your fighting endeavors. I am a big UFC fan and actually follow Brock Lesner a lot. I have been a fan since he wrestled in WWE.

dude I just think your lookin wayyyy to into it... I fight also, I'm a record of 14-0 in competitive MMA and I get girls all the time, just chill about it, shrug it off and screw em... who gives a f*** lol

I think there is one big factor you are missing here... Women don't look only to be protected. Sure security is something every woman would like. But there are plenty of other things... Are you attractive, do you have a good personality, are you funny... I promise you these matter more than just being able to kick some guys ass...

all girls are different, and most don't have "can he protect me" as the make-or-break trait in a person, there's a million of reasons why a girl likes a guy, so you can't trace it to one. If noone seems to like you, look at yourself as a whole, but odds are I bet some chicks would and/or do like you already, so chill out and enjoy your fights and let the football players keep those skanks ;) (no offense to football players or those who like them! haha)
