What is it about sports and guys?

I think it's a learned behavior. I personally don't pay much attention to sports. Not much point. I like to watch an occasional car race like Formula One, World Rally Championship, or SCCA Trans AM series. But mostly because it tends to be sort of obscure here in the states and I am kind of a car nut. But when you get into baseball and football, I really couldn't care less.

I believe that the main reason is that most of us participated in sports when we were younger. We can live vicariously through our teams and by watching games on TV or in person. Sports are a great outlet. You ought to try and participate in some of what your man is interested in. Maybe you can have a trade off. He can try something you like to do if you try the sports deal. You might actually find out that sports are quite enjoyable.

hmmn i think man dont wana talk abt feelings relationships so watelse is left then obviously sports n woman so i think its a learned behaviour

And we flock to the purses, nighties, and shoes or to the crafts section for "pretties" to make. We love it when they give us cuddly teddy bears and cards with stickers we can scrapbook with. Is this a "woman" thing or is it a "learned behavior"? ~Donna

I think that for men who have a hard time relating to other men (or women) this is a good outlet. They do not want to talk about family, or feelings, or relationships-so what can they talk about when together? Women and sports. I believe that it is a learned behavior. A boy watches his father, who watched his father. In school, that is what boys talk about-so each boy needs to "keep up" with what is going on. I think it is foolish. My husband knows more about what is going on with his sports teams than with his own family. It is sad that so many men miss out on so much of life because of sports.

I think its a response to the way we evolved. Man is a tribal sort where a woman needs are met by family. Men were al;ways the warriors and I think sports are a reflection of that
