Do guys like girls that are better than them at sports?

[Rab1901]

I would say that has nothing to do with how attracted I would be, but I think that girls who are that good at sports usually have something more in common with many guys and that's definitely a huge plus. I would definitely be happy if a girl was able to talk about basketball with me. I'm sure baseball works for guys who like baseball more.

If you like more nerdy guys, esports are the way to go lol. Fun fact: The last big league of legends tournament had more viewership than the world series, nba finals and stanley cup combined. There are lots of nerds out there. Don't pretend to like esports if you really aren't into it though because that will make you look like a desperate fool even though you'll get attention from lots of nerdy guys.

No hate on nerdy guys by the way. Nerds are hot these days, but jocks are definitely rarer unless of course you're one of the top nerds out there, but then again the top jocks are even rarer! haha

I think so I like a girl is very athletic and can play better than the guys. Me and my bros have a girl that hangs with us mostly because she is good at sports like flag football and baseball. She really good at beach volleyball way better then me and my bros.

lol, my boyfriend doesn't like it, he is super competitive. I'm a way way better long distance runner than he is, but I still like running with him. So to make it "fair" he makes me long sleeves and leggings or a track suit when we run in summer to make it even lol

Do your best and I think you'll earn their respect. :-)

If you're good at a sport (or multiple sports), especially if you're keeping up with the guys, guys will definitely respect you for that. But that alone, for most guys, is going to have very little to do with whether they're interested in you or not for a relationship (or even for just sex). Being good at sports makes you potentially good friend or teammate material, but just doesn't matter much either way as to whether you are good girlfriend/potential wife material, because men don't prioritize sports talent when choosing a partner.

That's kind of like asking you: do you pick potential boyfriends based on what brand of tire they have on their car? Of course not - that's just not something that matters to you, I'm sure.

Well, by default since I can't throw or catch, basically everyone is better at sports than me, so yeah, I like girls who are better than me at sports. Even a girl who has never played any is going to get better than me in a couple days.

Don't ask me why or how, but no matter how hard I've ever tried, the whole throwing/catching thing just never happened. I can solder, weld, shoot accurately to long range and have no problem arcing grenades from a launcher, but ask me to throw, and 10/10 times I won't be able to get that grenade far enough out to not blow myself up. It isn't that far either :(

[Citizenkirk]

Without knowing anything else about them them, than that they're good at sports? Absolutely, because that's the only thing that matters in life.
Or maybe, I like a girl, LIKE THISBecause, that's the kind of I am.

[bamesjond0069]

I mean maybe you're better at baseball but as long as the man can wrestle the girl down and win in actual physical combat it won't mess the relationship up in my opinion. Women need to feel like a man can protect her and sports are a way to show off physical athleticism. But if thats taken off the table, being able to easily pin her down will negate any lack of throwing a ball.

A girl i dated was better at tennis than me. She also was very muscular and only about an inch shorter than me. But i could easily toss her ass on the ground twist her over on her stomach, hold her down and get a hand free to spank her ass until she answered the question "whose your daddy?" Man that girl fought hard asf over and over but after awhile she decided i was the man and we had sex.

[DiscomfortZone]

It's a problem. Self awsreness is one of my core values and I can tell you most (if not all) men I've met wouldn't be able to deal with you being a superior athlete in any sports. Their egos would be too severely damaged on account of socially defined gender roles. It's like having you make more money than them, it feels like defeat.
Is it justified? Fuck no, it's immature to the point of being pathetic, but it's hard to undio years of gender conditioning.
Then again, you're like half my age, your generation might be different. Besides, I didn't say "all men in the world", so you might indeed meet some who are ok with you kicking their ass at baseball. You do you and let others adjust, not the other way around.

[R4zor]

If it is something you have a lot of experience hell yeah everyone is obese and clumsy these days and maybe I can learn a few things to do it better than you.
It's actually very good for you you're always going to have a few male friends who'd crush anyone who'd push you around

[jgokgotit]

The woman I am dating right now is better at sports than I am. She plays hockey, soccer and volleyball. She can run faster and longer than I can. When it comes to fighting and wrestling I am still better. I simply have a lot more experience than she does. Personally, I do not mind a woman being more athletic overall. I'm just not huge into sports. My only athletic passion would be martial arts.

[Qdbrown]

It really depends on the sport. There are some sports that women are inheriantly not going beat most guys that require upper body strength, unless your playing with underdeveloped boys.

Women tend to be better at sports where they can run and jump around like tennis.

We use to let the girls play with us back in the day, and we went soft on them. We wanted the girls there, and we were definitely not goimg to let them get hurt.

[Anonymous]

only the egotistical ones will hate it. others simply won't care. and if you're playing baseball with the boys then you'll barely get thought of as a girl who they'd want to fuck. maybe one of them might show an interest in you but not all of them for the simple reason you're playing baseball with them. if you were to go after someone from a different team it might work or it might not because they may or may not see you as "one of the guys". if you played softball then you'd have a much better shot because you'd be playing with women and not be thought of as one of the guys

[shade_19]

Guys are good being friends with girls equal to them... making a buddy relation more than a romantic kinda
But anyways love is a backstabber... it hits u and u don't realize... guys would love to have a wife good at sports (at least there will be assuring good coach for his children)

[Anonymous]

No I don’t care in the slightest and it doesn’t intimidate me. Like the guy below me said if I am stronger than her than I really don’t care. Who cares if she can play sports better than me. I’m athletic myself but I always want to learn and get more fit. I think athleticism is really attractive in a woman Bc it shows dedication and it represents a healthy lifestyle. All I care about is being a bit taller and stronger tbh.


What sports do you play?

[RingOfFire]

No, it isn't always going to be like that.

It may work at the high school level if the boys are not very good players. But if you go on to play sports in college, it will most likely have to be on a girls team because you would almost certainly not be able to play at the level of the boy's team. And anything beyond college, forget about it, you will not be able to compete.

[pervertedjester]

Heck there's a long list of people that can beat me at sports. Beat me at sports all you want, I wouldn't be phased.



On the other hand... beat me at Monopoly...... and this may or may not be the aftermath.

[anylolone]

Yes, doesn't mean at least some of them won't fuck you if you hit on them.
Probably half of them would date you, after all, they already like you as a friend.
But then you have to know if you aren't just good enough as a friend for them but not enough as a girlfriend.
A poor winner/loser can still be a good friend, but it makes terrible dating material.

[kkirk4442]

I'm quite good at sports, so it's uncommon for a woman to be better at sports than I am. However, there are women who are definitely better at certain sports than I am. I have no difficulty with that, and am happy for them, that they can do so well.

[slatyb]

Some do, others are insecure and can't handle it. I would love to have a partner who could ski better than me, or play bridge better than me but would still play with me, or any number of other things.

[jshm2]

It's rare to have girls join in on boys sports, but right now you're good and equal.

Obviously once their hormones kick in they'll excel over you and maybe even get a bit wolf pack, so be careful.

[DavidDong]

Well, its certainly pleasing to me
I genuinely dont care for a girl that can't do sports since I do sports.
I need a girl that can do sports!
Look, there's a whole deal of respect to you clearly, I'm sure one or two might be thinking something

[exitseven]

In college I dated somebody who was very athletic. She played semi-pro football. I liked it because she was in shape and had respect for her body. She never used drugs or anything like that.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Honestly... yes it is always going to be like that. They will look at you you as their pal and never as a romantic interest.
Also no, guys don't like when girls are better at sports than they are.
