How important are sports for a man?

[Anonymous]

He's addicted to sport I can say that. Many times he can't come to see me because he has to play sports either only by himself or with his friends and he wants to play almost every day! And when he's free, I'm not free. It's hard to set convenient time for us. Finally it's me who have to go to see his match instead. But why didn't he stop playing sport just one time to have a proper date? Is it really important or he doesn't want to change his plan because it will make me too important? This thing makes me thoughtful for a while.

Men tend to care more about sports than women. But, that said, there are some men that don't like sports at all.

It sounds like your problem isn't actually the fact that he plays sports, but the fact that he prioritizes sports over you. Let him know how you feel. He might genuinely not understand how important it is to you. I assume that he is also between 30-35 years old, in which case, you probably can't expect him to change his behavior. At this point he is who he is. What it might do though, is make him realize that he needs to make it up to you later by giving you more/ best attention later. Whatever you do, don't nag, because this will make him want to spend even less time with you. When he is busy playing with his friends, go do the things that you like to do. Don't waste the time that you have doing chores or hanging around the house relaxing. Go out with friends, go shopping, go to the spa, go swimming, plan a trip... what ever it is you like to do. But don't waste much emotional energy trying to get him to change his behavior. He will not change. Just focus on finding a way to be happy given the fact that he plays sports all the time.

Finally I try to compromise to have convenient time for us. When I insist that I won't change my schedule and show him that I can spend my time happily without him so he choose to adjust schedule to finish his sport earlier than usual to meet me. I should appreciate this right? I can't change his sport behavior, I have to accept it.

That's great that he adjusted his schedule to make your relationship a priority! I wish you guys both the best!

What a butthead...find a new guy...one that pays attention to you and chooses you over that sh*t...everybody needs hobbies, I get that...but you need a real man...he sounds like just a boy to me...

To a man who is into sports, very. To a man who isn't, it's not. You can't say men as a whole are into sports. That's like saying you, biologically, are into cooking. It's totally wrong.

If he's passionate about sports, as in truly passionate about them, he'll never be able to give them up for you. He'll try to balance his schedule so he can do you both, but never really give.

honestly depends on what sport and if his favorite team/sport is playing why don't you watch it with him you know just hang out so basically depends on the sport and the team is playing I hope I help

Sports hold zero importance to me.

For some guys though, its gets pretty crazy.

You can't just dog your team to see a girl... work around it or see him after his games..

[Asker]

I met my friends more frequently than him and his games are late at night. I can't meet him at that time.

[Surferfer]

meet him before games?

are all his sports team or are some solo? he could see you sometimes during solo ones
