Guys, is it a major turn off if a girl isn’t into sports?

[Anonymous]

Like doesn't have a team on big, international sports games (eg basketball, soccer, etc.). And isn’t an athletic and sports girl itself.

It’s just that when I’m talking to a guy, the topic sometimes lead to sports. Then he asks me something about it, and there i am, having no idea what he’s talking about.

I see my brother and other guy friends watch it but I’m just not interested. 🙃 so yeah i sound so dull and i feel like i have no life when i answer “none I’m not really into it” because its sports, i look at people and everybody loves it. But i say it anyway ha

[Iron_Man]

Of course because then what do we have in common besides going out to a movies and the mall and dinner? I'm an athletic type of a guy I like to play sports, I like to watch sports all the time and what are you going to do when I go to my brother's house to watch the football game stop me? That's not going to happen so that's a problem. I want to go to sports bars and to my brother's house to watch football and the fights so yes that's a turn off to me honestly

[Asker]

Lol. I got nothing against it lmao I’d let my man watch as much as he wants, i ain't stopping him just because I’m not watching it. It’s 2018.

[Asker]

That’s sad that you think sports are the only thing you can have in common with your girl, aside from “movies, mall, and dinner” lol but anyway that’s you. Thanks for sharin

[Iron_Man]

It's not sad because I'm an athlete and always will be. I like sports and if she's not into it either she's probably not going to like working out, she's probably not that active that means you won't be able to go mountain climbing or river rafting. She probably won't want to go horseback riding I don't mean just walk the horses either I mean run them. I also enjoy dirt bike riding she won't want to go to the gym with me or play tackle football in the yard or get involved with the kids playing football in the yard and she probably won't like camping either roughing it. Not to mention many other things I could come up with. So what else is there too do go to a musical with her and look at each other and smile and act real happy? Then tag along with her while she gets her nails painted some time that's really exciting. I don't want a girl that's dead weight that doesn't want to do anything but go out to dinner and the occasional movie and back home again it won't last very long

The relationship

[Iron_Man]

I like to wrestle my woman and not just a little snuggle time I like to really wrestle that means get after it. I don't want some cold fish saying to me ouch get off of me.

Yay I win most helpful award, thanks gag selection committee

[ausmaster]

Just depends on the guy, not every guy is into sports. I hate regular sports to be honest. The only sports I watch is E-sports lol.

What really matters is if your values and passions overlap. If he cares a lot about sports and you don't, you probably aren't going to be compatible.

[maddithebaddi]

Who cares? why are you concerned with changing who you are for someone else? work on your self esteem

[Asker]

Lol i ain't changing for nobody. Thats just a plain question. Thanks for the advice tho lol

[GingerGuy]

No, because neither am I. I don't think guys would care (or expect women to?). I think they are talking about sports because they don't know what else to say or talk about with you (ie their comfort zone).

[danillaiceg]

It's not dull you might be into music or art and most guys aren't dont think its a turn off just a slight difference of taste. Personally a girl doesn't have to be interested in sports nor should she be super athletic as long as she's healthy (not overweight)

[PeterB1517]

I don't give one shit about sports on tv, and I think all these girls who say they watch football on Sundays and are huhe local sports fans are liars. I look down on people very into watching sports.

[KlydePhrog]

For me it isn't because the only sports I keep up on are wrestling (not WWE) and mma. In a relationship you're not gonna like everything the other person likes. So don't feel obligated to change for him if he can't get past it.

[soyboy999]

No, it's more of a turnoff to me if she is too into sports. That being said, I like it if she does some form of exercise (and enjoys it).

[ManFrom1982]

No, it's not a major turn off... If she has other things to offer and she's understanding of my sports obsession.

[RobS19771992]

My girlfriend isn’t into sports either but it’s no big deal there are a lot of other things to talk about and do. Just find things you both like doing and make a date out of it

[AllThatSweetJazz]

I have absolutely no interest in that stuff whatsoever. I have no team I support or care about other than just Australia in general, but I don't follow any teams. Couldn't. Care. Less.

[AxlStahlmann]

I hate watching sports with a passion. haha I love playing it, but hate watching.
I'd be more interested in a girl that finds better things to do than watch someone kicking or throwing a ball around.

[Entryer]

Sometimes people enjoy the same things, sometimes they dont. Who gives a shit ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

[lavadolphin]

Nope. I don't really care for sports currently, but when I did it didn't matter if they didn't. So turn off, no, not a deal breaker. Turn on? Yeah shared interests can be.

[keycobs]

Not at all. But most men like sports. Same with games. Most men like playing games and sometimes talk about it. But when a girl doesn't know anything about games it isn't a turn off. If she is interested it can be a major turn on.

[larswisner]

no. If they like it thats a bonus, but it doesn't matter

[johnmichaei]

Doesn't bother me a bit I could care less I'm not going to talk about sports talk about Farm stuff horse chicken dog and all that you can be taught is no big deal and if I like sports and I wanted you around me I would teach you about sports

[Anonymous]

nope, not as long as there’s something else we both like and can enjoy doing together.

[Dude_1820]

Nope because I'm not a big sports fan. I do MMA and follow UFC and that's it

[someguy81]

I don't care about sports, it wouldn't matter to me.

[A-man-22]

Not at all, different guys like different things, not all of us like sports.

[Lance1965]

No. It is a huge bonus if you hate sports as much as I do.

[The_Gentelman]

Aslong as I am allowed to do some MTA I am totaly fine with it
