Dude. Seriously.

Ok short disclaimer: If you are a dude who is easily offended or will try to argue this point with me do not continue. I repeat, do not continue. What I have to say does not apply to the entire male population, just a lot of you. So don't argue with me there either.

What in the world is sooo hard about finding a dude who knows more than me about sports and follows them avidly? I have this insane interest in college football, not as much for pro football, and then some more for college basketball. I'm not even claiming to know a ton, just a sufficient amount! I find myself trying to talk sports with some guys i know and a common response i hear is 'I don't follow football, or basketball' whatever. I understand that we as college students are a little busy. We can't catch every single game, especially basketball. I get it i really do. Some people just play their sport religiously. And i can feel ya brothas. But it just seems that one would at LEAST know generally what was going on!

What i think may be our dilemma here is guys have the feeling that girls don't care for sports, and really wish that their boyfriends or prospects or whatever wouldn't watch and/or even listen to sports. Maybe guys feel perhaps their chances of getting a girl are slim if they fall into the category of a 'typical' guy. I am seriously finding more guys who can freakin tap and ballroom dance than those who follow sports. That seems incredibly strange to me. Growing up in a house where Saturdays and Sundays were Dad's as he usurped the remote for either basketball, football, rugby or cooking. Now. I know you guys are a little confused with me here, so just hold on. If you do happen to have some other random quality or skill along with following sports that is absolutely ok! Geez Louise if you can cook that is fabulous! If you dance, whatever! If you have a high interest in broadway musicals.. no comment.

I seriously never EVER thought it would be the case that I meet guys under this category! I know I'm not the average girl and you know what, I'm sure a lot of females appreciate your lack of interest in sports. And love the fact that you can dance until your toes fall off. So if that is your forte, nbd (that means no big deal ps). I just find it much more attractive if you make a good post or can set up a good pick, if you get really upset about the Cowboys loss, or that Duke is in the final 4... again. That shows me passion, and you being yourself.

Perhaps my issue stems really from a lack of genuity lately. I don't mind that you pay a little more attention to the game, just as long as you recognize it. If you like halo, cool! If you like shooting things, show me how! Just be who you are for heavens sake. Your luck with girls will go up. Or at least you weed out the stupid ones who will expect to change you.
