CP Women/Dating Discussion Thread #841 & #842

[Myth]

[quote=Mango;1126518]Since you mentioned this...

I guess it is apparently intimidating, or so I was told just recently. So, apparently, as single girls who enjoy hockey, we shouldn't talk about the things we enjoy, according to him. Instead, we should just listen to guys talk about the things they like and we should nod our heads and smile. He even had the audacity to tell me that females are not welcome at sporting events unless they look hot and are blond.quote]


Let me guess, the conversation started with some version of the question, "How did you get out of the kitchen?"

There's so much pent up sexual tension in this thread, somebody needs to organize the next CP orgy.

For facebook flirting, a friend of mine did something that worked: He'd tag random hot girls in his photo's, with the girl he was interested in. So she'd log in, see that she was tagged, and flattered when she figured out what he was doing. This would then lead to flirtatious discussions between them and so forth until they started dating for real. I think there are also 3rd party applications you can load, that allow you to tell people if you think they're hot/sexy/troglodyte or what ever.

Given the general population around here, I think such a thread should draw elements from the witness protection program.

LOL. It was probably one of the most insulting conversations I've had in my life. Although, I decided not to take him too seriously as he was bragging about his master's degree and how he was the best insurance adjuster in the city. He then said he only had a few more courses to take before he had a PhD .

Mango, I can't believe you actually ran into a living, breathing neanderthal.

True enough.

Good to know there are some people out there that appreciate hockey fans, male or female.

Oh, so much to reply to here:

I've had it both ways--in THEORY, guys seem to like the idea of a girl who is enough into sports to buy season tickets, on her own, for her hockey team, as I have currently.

But the minute you start talking sports to them, things change. They challenge you, and if you challenge back, they start getting weird. As someone mentioned above--it's intimidating for a girl to know more about sports than a guy, I even had one TELL me that. And I refuse to ever be the girl who bites her tongue just to attract someone--if you don't like me for who I am, then screw it.

I've been single for years--I've had options, I just don't care enough to go after them, no one has impressed me that much. I'd rather be single and potentially lonely, than settle for someone and be miserable.

Also--God forbid if you're a female and happen to mention if such and such a player is hot. No matter how much you know about hockey, so many guys take that as an instant "Oh, just a puckbunny" sign. Which just kills me. Guys don't go to games just to see the Ice Girls--but they're sure as hell going to notice if one is hot. So why can't women get the same standard?

Oh, and also, on the swearing thing. Um. Oops. I'm really bad about that, especially when driving. Little bit of road rage.

Count me in as loving girls who know their sports! All of my gf's in the past have known sports pretty well. I just love a girl who can watch the game with me, have a beer in one hand, a beer in the other hand and just enjoy the game! I don't think girls are butch at all if they know sports, that's garbage. There are so many hotties out there who know their sports and are also feminine. When I think of "butch" I think of those female body builder/wrestling types who are way too muscular/big. I don't have an issue with them either but to me that's butch and not whether a girl knows about sports or not.

I once dated a gal who was a walking encyclopedia in regards to hockey. I was in awe of her wealth of information. I didn't find it insulting but rather refreshing. It was nice to have discussions about the game and all. Sadly I let her get away and have regreted that descion ever since.

This is exactly how someone else got me to 'look it up'.

I'm rather indifferent about girls who know shat about sports. Girls who swear I do like, because I curse a blue streak and in order for a girl not to be offended she generally must also have a mouth on her. Also attracted to girls who can make me laugh. Of course, I am attracted first and foremost to girls who are attractive.

To address the original topic of this thread, I've had success meeting girls on Facebook. So many people think meeting online is taboo but personally I just look at it as another way to meet people. Why limit your options?

I guess that doesn't really address the original topic of this thread.

Sadly I’ve found myself biting my tongue either at work or at a game; I’m personally tried of the odds looks I receive when I want to talk about hockey or show any knowledge of the game. I’ve actually had guys’ rolls there eyes and use a condescending tone instead of arguing there points with me.

I guess I just don’t want to bother. It’s not as though I’m going to change their opinion regarding female hockey fans.

Anyway I still haven't seen much advice, so I'll give you the standard pitch: never mind what YOU should say, just keep her talking and actually listen.

Too many guys are worried about trying to impress a woman - if she's talking to you, she already is half-way there, you just have to keep from screwing up and acting like every other self-important clown she's had to put up with. Comment on her clothing, her hair (especially if it's different, women love hearing that their hair looks good because #1 they worry about their hair obsessively and #2 it shows that you are interested in her enough to notice); ask her just about anything as long as its not too personal but is still relevant - what's her favorite sport, who does she admire, ask her to sing her favorite song - anything goes, really.

If she asks you questions, answer, but don't go off too long on how awesome you are - and for that matter, don't denigrate yourself either. Just act like a regular human being and you'll be fine, constrain yourself from trying to be too clever or cool and you can't go far wrong.

I love girls who know sports but I absolutely HATE women who pretend to know sports and then talk out of their asses. But then I hate bullters. My girlfriend is pretty good. She likes hockey and is actually taking me to the game tonight but she doesn't act like she knows anything about it and will constantly ask me intelligent questions about hockey and football. Her only problem is she's a Canucks fan.

Also, add me to the list that find women who smoke and/or swear hideous.

And if you talk to them like they are people, you will discover which ones will copulate with you. And you may discover that some of them like sports, but are still, biologically speaking, women. And some of these women not only like sports, but know things about sports, even though they lack penises. And these are the best women of all. And not all of them are butch. But then, not all of them are single.

So really, what you should do is only flirt with women who have posted in this thread. And by "flirt" I mean "talk to about sports."

Then PM them pictures of your wang.

Sports and dating should not be mentioned in the same paragraph. If all you can talk is sports then your hopes of dating are slim. Sure, there are women who are interested in sports (e.g. met a cute woman yesterday who is into both hockey and UFC) but they are in short supply and heavy demand. Try developing some other interests.

So why are there so many single CP women?

[sadora]

Personally I don't see sports interest as a factor when dating women. It's a plus but I just think that there's some things that you do with your boys and only your boys. You need that time with your friends and there's nothing worse than having a girlfriend/wife getting mad at you because you're not watching the game with them.

I've always said I need a guy I can tell to go the hell away sometimes.

I can't imagine being in a relationship where I was with the person 24/7, it would drive me insane.

Exactly. One of the reasons people in relationships fight all the time is space. We all need it and that's why boys night, or in your case girls night is so important.

I'm with you on this. It neither attracts me or repels me whether a chick likes sports. It is nice either way. Either you don't have to push very hard to get to watch your games at home, or else you get plenty of guy time out at the pub. Win/win.

Good point! Nothing worse than the "cling on" that wants to do everything you do. Gotta have some space in the relationship or one can feel smoothered and claustrophobic.
