When girls like sports and can talk to guys about sports, is that a turn on, or not?

Question

I'm just wondering. I love football and know more about it than most people do, but I'm not sure if I should let this be known, because I don't want to be seen as one of the guys. So, is it a turn on or off?

I'm not sports-crazy, really. But simply being interested in masculine topics is generally a turn-on.

Kind of a double-standard, too. Gamers, sports-fanatics, or computer geeks are usually avoided by women, or told we're immature.

But the moment a girl steps on board in the gaming arena, or as a math and science major, or as a sports nut, guys flock like bees to a queen. You don't even have to be all that attractive, because you'll be the most attractive gamer girl in the room! I wish it was that easy for me! lol

But really, if you can talk to guys about their interests, you'll hook 'em good!

NOT a turn on.  It IS a turn on if you will sit and watch sports with a guy and not complain and want him to turn off the TV or change the channel.  You know the classic scenario.  It lets him feel free and that you accept and approve of want he wants to do.  But as far as knowing about the game; all the rules, stategies, players, stats, etc., not a turn on.  My advice would be don't change who you are, continue to like football if that's your thing.  But don't try to impress guys with your knowledge about the game.  There are many other ways to connect with guys :)  Don't do it over sports.

Ive been into sports my whole life. I love them, baseball, football, tennis, racquetball, hockey, and I never had a guy say anything negative about it, they seem to like it, plus it helps me to talk to them better. I don't go over board with the knowledge and stats of the games because a guy doesn't want their girl to know more about sports then them, just enough so they don't feel like they are talking to a wall.

I've seen it work wonders for my friend when she flirts with guys. On the other hand... I know nothing about sports, and my boyfriend loves football. He enjoys it because it gives him something totally out of my realm to teach me about. I think it can go either way.

If he finds her sexually attractive, it's a plus.  If he doesn't already find her attractive, he doesn't care.

if she's into MMA or Boxing, cool. if she's really into it, lame.

this stupid fascination with competition in sports just seems like they want to make themselves feel better for being "associated" with the winning team.

i get really bored watching any sport that isn't MMA or boxing.

and when people get really into the players, I get annoyed cause they talk about them like they're people worth praising when in reality, they're JUST HUMANS. nothing more. idc how good they are at the sport they play. at the end of the day, I could cut them and they would bleed.

besides that, most of them are duchebags. they don't contribute to society, they don't donate to charities, they just buy fancy cars and brag. MOST of them.

so any association with all that is stupid to me.

now downvote me for speaking the truth, go ahead. idc, I'm badass.

Trust me...one of the things that attracted me to my future darling wife in her Match.com profile was

her love of University of Michigan football...which translated to love of all the Boston sport teams...

As a added bonus she loves to play/watch golf...talk about the ultimate aphrodisiac for this male!

As long as the knowledge and interest is genuine it's a turn on.  Nothing is worse than a faker and if you are a real sports nut, you probably get angry about that too.  Mixed sports terms make me cringe.  "Tom Brady to Welker, he's at the 20, the 10, GOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL?" errumm, HOMERUN!

The_Suave · Answer

Honestly it depends, I mean sports is sports so much you can say about skill, athleticism, points ect..

I mean I'm not one to keep up on sports so it would be a little awkward for me if a girl keeps talking to me about sports when I don't have a clue. V_V I know I know but my man card is buried in my wallet I can not give it up to be hole punched for saying this.

yellowmamba024 · Answer

It's mostly a turn on. However, I also like a lady so I wouldn't like a girl much more athletic than I am. That would make me feel less of a man as well. But I think it doesn't matter too much though. Girls liking a sport definitely cannot be a turn off, but it may not be a turn on what I am trying to say is.

C: depends on what she looks like lol

as per my theory of 'what you can get away with' based on your level of attractiveness. If she's unattractive and can talk sports, then she's just cool to hang out with but not a turn on by any means.

6Paul11 · Answer

It's fine by me. I don't really care that much about sports anyways.

Have fun, but don't be obnoxious. There are enough dbag guys that try to one up everyone with their sports knowledge. We don't need any more people like them.

It depends if the are rational about it, in which case it's great, but if they are just an overzealous fan that has a bad understanding of the sport it can be... Difficult lol

katylaura · Answer

its easy for a girl who likes sport to be labelled as "one of the guys" and therefore not considered as dating material. that said, it is not a turn off at all.

It's a turn on so we watched hockey during the NHL season. But our pseudo-beloved Leafs blew it so it really doesn't matter who plays anymore.

Common interests are always a plus.  If the guy is into sports, he'll think it's cool.  If he isn't he won't care.

I get turned on when she can talk about ping pong and curling. Easily the two most intense and competitive sports ever.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't care either way, I think it's stupid to know so much about sports statistics and not what going on in your own country

Elaine1 · Answer

Guys meet a girl like sports, will think she is very special. I don't like sports & letting me talking about it is so hard! lol

Xx_DRE_xX · Answer

In general, yes it can help make you seem a lot more of a better pick because you have a common interest with a guy but it isn't a given if the guy doesn't care to much about sports.

scar1 · Answer

supermetsk31 · Answer

I only like Baseball, so it depends if she is talking about Baseball. If it's another sport I don't care!
