Being a big sports fan myself, especially a basketball fan, I prefer dating a girl who is sporty, either plays sports or even watches NBA basketball. I don't really believe in the whole, opposites attract theory, I strongly believe two people in a relationship have to have common interests so that they can enjoy their time together.
I have seen this happen many times, especially girls I have dated where I tried to catering to those specific girls who hate sports, who are extremely girly and dramatic, who don't care about politics, who don't care about traveling and it was hard to hold down a civil conversation with them without getting mad or frustrated, leading to arguments.
Sorry if I had to step outside the box with this question but the reason why I brought this up is that at the end of the day it is important. Now sure, there will be guys and girls who don't like sports and they may like other things, by all means, what works for you go with it. But I am not going to just settle in life to find a girl, I hope that girl who I hopefully will be with will be strong, ambitious, caring, enjoys basketball and is funny.

I definitely would enjoy dating a woman that could actually keep up with me most of the women I have dated in the past have been pretty fair but not physically fit I enjoy climbing hiking biking swimming and a lot of other things that keeps me in good condition because of the fact that I love to make women extremely happy in all kinds of ways and if I wasn't in good shape I wouldn't be able to make them all happy,, just saying
Did you mean to let girls answer this too? Because I mean, as a lesbian I certainly have an opinion. But your question title implies you only want guys to answer...
Anyway, I'd date a girl that liked sports. That would be a neutral aspect of their personality to me, but I'd be a little more reluctant if they liked e-sports in particular. Or really if their love of sports was just toxic, as I've found many e-sports communities tend to be.
I told a guy friend that I played many sports such as netball, volleyball, taekwondo and basketball, and he was overjoyed so see a girl love it as much as he did and said "WE'RE BEST FRIENDS NOW, AREN'T WE?"
It'd be nice if she did play a sport but I wouldn't mind if she didn't

Sporty chicks usually have really amazing bodies... my college girlfriend was a softball player (not one of the dikey ones lol)... She was a tall blonde with a super athletic/fit body... and she could ride like no other... Damn, I should have married that girl...
I'd like it if she was sporty, cause I'm a huge fan of sports, so we could watch them together. I don't mind if she watches, plays it, or both.
But I also don't mind if she's not into sports, as long as she doesn't complain when I watch them lolI will teach her to like sports, for as long as it takes, if we have to work our way up from tiddlywinks.
www.doyouremember.co.uk/.../...2870534-595x417.jpgHellz yeah! Sports are my life and always have been. So if she loved them too, it would be that much awesome, but she doesn't have to. Just as long as she respect my love for it and doesn't think it's a waste of time spending hours a week watching, reading articles on it., and not wanna miss a single game of the teams that I love.
that's categorically impossible to decide. Your question makes it look like I would choose based solely on this sportiness thing.
To answer the question that was probably intended: active lifestyle is a definite plus to me, so it helps convince me, but it's not final.Absolutely. It shows they take care of their health, and they might be adventurous so you could do all kinds of fun sporty or thrill seeking activities. These are most of the kinds of girls I've been going on dates with.
if she can wrestle... fuck yea... ever wrestled and got hella sweaty and the clothes came off and you fucked...
something every one gotta try at least onceSpotty person would be much preferable because she would understand pros and cons of a game would refer the same in real life.
And more she will be my gaming partner. So, why shouldn't I pick a sporty girl ?It would depend greatly on the sport and her involvement or lack thereof.
I wouldn't waste my time on someone who was a fan of American hand-egg (football) but can't be arsed to walk two blocks, for example.Who is that beautiful lady in the gif for Choice A?
It doesn't matter. It's just one of those "extra perks" to have but it's not in a list of qualities to look for in a woman. In other words, it's one of those "O wow, you like to watch/play sports?" but it's the last thing on my mind to look for in a woman.
It's not about being sporty. The girl should be active of some sorts like dancing, athletics, swimming or something.
If she's sporty, then guys don't mind cause we're getting some amazing sex as well.
Dating a sporty girl does have its ups but don't forget, if she ever makes it big, your face is gonna be on the news as well guys.
Me, personally don't like the exposure, but it is still fun to have her with you.
An energetic human being for company.There's a big difference difference between someone who just watches sports while chugging a gallon of beer/soda and someone who plays sports. I'd be more into the one who plays a sport.
It would be a bonus because I'm athletic and I'm into sports. However, I won't refuse to date a girl if she's not into sports either. Most of the girls I've dated in the past weren't into sports.
It's irrelevant as far as my choice in woman, but it's definitely a plus. However, if she is unwilling to do physical activities with me then that's a deal breaker.
I've had a bad experience, but a long time ago.
Some sporty girls want to be 'one of the boys''. And that doesn't float my boat
But in general, they are confident and fn to be aroI believe a sporty kinda people are more confident about their strengths and hence... I love em😍😍😍
I prefer sporty but not stuff like rugby either. It's a big too manly for me. Boxing is fine to me though (probably because i did it for some time) But there are some sport that just turn me off.
Hell yes! But it is not a requirement. Sometimes I prefer "normal" girls, they look more like a "girl" if you know what I mean.
For me it just depends, I'm into certain sports but don't really like others, though I'd imagine if I was going out with someone who was really passionate about something, say a sport, I may pick it up as well.
