My girlfriend's only sports interest is soccer, and it's about as casual an interest as it gets. She was happy to go to a baseball game with me, but neither of us watches sports on TV. I no longer have my local teams to root for anyway (former Oakland Raiders/Oakland A's), but I was never a huge sports watcher anyway, unless I was actually attending a game in person.
Yeah, I’m not major into sports though I’ll watch sometimes. That’s not a dealbreaker for me. For some men who are super into sports. Okay I can see that maybe.
I grew up watching football (soccer) rugby, cricket. It's only when I emigrated was "American" football and basketball was shown.
I watch all sports, so even if he doesn't like to watch the same sports as me it's not a big deal
Would gals date a guy who doesn't watch romcoms?

I've dated women who aren't interested in sports. We share things that we both like, I've learned and done some things from them that I wouldn't otherwise do. I can watch my sports while she does her own thing.
Same with me, also anime. I like both, she doesn't. We watch something we both like, not as much as Hallmark movies (her) or anime and football (me). When we're not physically together, I watch anime and college football. I also like some TV shows she doesn't. The one thing we're both extremely interested is baseball. She likes our home team more than the sport, while I like the sport more, but she still likes it. I don't think I could date someone who doesn't like baseball. Luckily, I live in a city where baseball is almost a religion.
I don't care for sports and I'm pretty athletic myself, so I'd actually prefer they don't watch them as they aren't one of my interests. n
Yes, easily.
Not watching basketball or football isn’t a dealbreaker at all.
What matters more is her energy
• Is she curious about what I enjoy?
• Does she have her own interests she’s passionate about?
• Can we trade worlds a little and learn from each other?
Shared hobbies are nice, but compatibility comes from how two people connect, not whether she knows who scored last night.
If she’s warm, grounded, and easy to be around, the rest is just detail.
I don't watch that myself so I think her and I would get along just fine. When I want to live my unlived glory through others... I'm not watching sports. I'm watching documentaries on Hitler.
I don't watch basketball or football either. I'm pretty sure only gay men watch those that garbage... How else could a man justify watching a video with a bunch of black men on their knees while wearing pink ribbons with trannies in cheerleader outfits shake their junk in their face? Straight men don't watch shit like that unless their friend rick rolled them to get a knee jerk reaction...
I was dating online some years ago and one woman contacted me. Her profile mentioned how much she enjoyed televised sports. She seemed to think that made her a good catch. But not for me. My profile had no mention of watching sports, and I wasn´t sure why she contacted me. I suppose she liked my picture. I replied that I didn´t think we were a match.
I dated a girl who was a rabid football fan. She was the quarterback in a girl's semi pro football team. All day Saturday she wanted to watch College football. Sunday it was the NFL.
I might sit down and watch the local team , especially if it was a rainy day and had nothing better to do but I am really not a big sports guy.
My city is a big baseball city. Along with the Cubs, Yankees, and Red Sox, most Cardinals fans know the game. We aren't fans because the team is in our city. We are fans of baseball and our team by extension. My girlfriend and I are no exception we grew up as Cardinals fans and remain fans to this day. If my girlfriend didn't like baseball, I don't know if we'd date. Luckily, almost everyone in St. Louis is a Cardinals fan or, at least, a baseball fan.
New York?
Yeah. I would only care if she opposed me watching the teams I follow. Football is about 17 games a year, and the baseball team I like will never be good. Obviously, I'm willing to skip watching sports to attend important events and what not. Someone I'm dating would easily trump any dedication I had to following sports.
NFL professional football is a passion for me and so is college football If the girl takes no interest in something I have a passion for then what do we have in common? It’s also a great bonding tool to have an equal interest. Go Dolphins 🐬 And Hurricanes
I would.
She doesn’t have to share my interests
I’m a basketball guy tho not so much football
But I like sports in general
Still I can manage my hobbies and relationship like an actual adult
Certainly. In fact, I wouldn't be interested in a woman who was passionate about watching sports... or, for that matter, TV in general. That shit is a waste of time.
I never cared to watch basketball, and I lost interest in watching football years ago. But the important thing is, is she interested in gaming?
Of course, i never watched any football and basketball match, and don't have much knowledge about them, so no problem in it
Yes. I lost interest in professional sports right after high school. I might watch a playoff or championship game/series, but it is not high priority.
Both sports are dire af.
Rugby 🏉 would be a bonus as with volleyball 🏐 or soccer ⚽️.
Football yes, basketball no. If you don't like basketball, that's a deal breaker. We can't even be friends.🤣
I don't watch that shit either. Personally I like hockey but only in person
I would rather have a woman that doesn't care about watching those dumb kids games.
Of course. You can’t make out at a basketball game or a football game. I’ll take you to a movie instead
Of course I would, although I find it hard to connect over cinema
Their hobbies or interests do not have to align with my own. If I like their character, then that is good for me.
Maybe, depends, if she is a sporty girl, but likes some other sports (martial arts, volleyball, handball, dodgeball etc) - I would.
Yeah. I'm dating a woman not a drafting team mate in NBA
For sure I can’t sit down that long so finding someone that’s willing go for a run or a bike ride instead of sitting on her ass would be great
We literally don’t care if she watches sports or not.
Sure as long she doesn't mind me watching the Eagles.
Of course I never liked sports
I don't care for those sports, so I would.
Sure if she's got big boobs !!!
What if its saggy?
Big AND firm. I'm not into old broads.
Yes, I don't watch them.
I dont watch any of that Jew nonsense
To each their own
I do because i hate sports lol distraction
lol... lol...
