Getting Your Girlfriend to Love Sports

Men have an inherent ability to love sports, but for women, that has to come from a little nudge in the right direction. I'm not a huge fan of sports myself, but my husband has at least gotten me to appreciate them over the years. If you have a girlfriend that thinks you can shoot a basketball into a field goal, you may want to open her mind to sports a little more. This process doesn't have to be difficult if you understand a woman's mind as you go through it. Seeing that I have a woman's mind, I'd be happy to help you out. Here are some tips to help you turn your arm candy into one of the guys when she needs to be.

Show Her Women in Sports

Women often have a hard time understanding sports because they only see men playing them. Then they just get bored watching a bunch and guys run around with some kind of ball in their hands. When they can see that there are women out there who actually play sports, they may get a little more excited about learning about them. You could show your girlfriend some female tennis matches or perhaps a clip of a female softball league. Just give her the idea that women can be involved with sports too.

Tell Her She's Sexy

Women love to feel sexy, so you may be able to use that to your advantage. In essence, you need to butter her up so she takes a bigger interest in sports. Tell her that you think it's really hot when she talks to you about sports and see if she doesn't start to ask you questions about them. That's how my husband got me into liking cars. I couldn't tell a Mustang from a Corvette three years ago, and now I can tell a ZR1 from a Z06. You just have to use the right language to get her to feel special when she talks about sports. She'll be learning about them in no time.

Avoid Looking Like a Psycho

Some men get way too enthusiastic about watching sports. This can be a big turn off for women. If you know you scream a lot when watching football, try to do that only when you're out with the guys. That puts the "macho" vibe on sports as a whole, and it could make your girlfriend unenthused about learning any kind of sports information. If you stay calm and avoid looking like a total lunatic, you may be able to convince her that sports are great to learn about.

Make a Couple's Night out of It

You could ask another couple to come over to watch a game with you. That way you have some masculine energy to pay off of, and she has some estrogen in the room as well. If the woman in the other couple happens to like sports, you may be able to convince your girlfriend just by showing her an example of what you want. Otherwise you will just have the benefit of having other people there to talk to and enjoy the moment.

It may take some time to get your girl in the sportsy mood, but give her a chance. Most women are willing to learn about stuff like that, as long as you let them come to terms with the idea on their own. If you take a moment to let your girl fall in love with sports like you have, you could have the perfect football wife in no time. There may be more to your legal assistant lover than you give her credit for.
