Why do men like to watch sports more than women?

I don't like watching sport of any kind at all, I find it totally boring. Probably a reaction to when I was young and forced to watch it (especially football) - put me off sport for life

I don't think that all men are like this, but some are. I am a woman, and don't like to watch sports unless it's rodeo, or gladiator, the mxe games, or bike/ skateboard jumps. Even so I don't make a point to watch it unless it's a marathon for like mxe games.

History tells us that man provides all the work for his family. Old sports was generated to show mans power, strength, speed and cleverness. You can see that in the history of early Olympic games. They are originally intended for men, thats why its the men who watch them. Women in the old days are lock in their homes and never participated in public occasions. Had to admit that our old folks made the wrong decision on this one, right?

I think it's because men are more aggressive and into sports more than women. That's not to demean women as athletes. Women can be well-toned and as athletic as men and great athletes. Men, however, by nature are stronger and have more endurance. But on a percentage basis, more men are interested in sports than women.

is what men do . we got our thing, like most women watch cooking stuff . lol and is a men sport where most women dont like those kind of game

It's because at a certain age they become more and more like "couch potatoes" and watcjing the games is the only thing that reminds them of a healthy and active life. They put themselves in one of the other playersplace, they imagine being that player and actually playing (but this is only in their mind).
Meanwhile they eat chips and drink beer, jsut believing that they make any sport and will not get any "bigger" in the belly part of their body, because they"play" sports.
Ha!

Because men are aggressive in nature.
Only women I know into sports were either raised into it, or bonded with their bf or husband over it.

Well, your question actually only applies to general people.
In most cases, men like sports more than women (just look by the number of the athletes in the world, the composition of male and female athletes).

But there are many cases also where men don't like sports too much compared to women. There are a lot of women love to watch sports also. This nature depends on how they (women) were raised when they were child. If they were born as a member of family-athlete, usually they very like to watch sports. Other possibilities, they were raised as the only female member (with the mother) in the house and other family members are like to watch sports.

Same here. My husband would spend almost whole day just watching basketball on the TV. Thoughbhe have seen it already and it is only a recap he will still watched.I do not understand it also. IO usually get bored watchin sport. I am more interested with the entertainment.

I love watching sports but if you notice, the majority of the sports on T.V. are men's sports. Generally women aren't into those sports because most of them didn't grow up playing football or hockey or baseball. Most grew up doing ballet or dance or gymnastics.
