If we really clicked in every other way, then id probably be ok with it, but id still be :rolleyes: and id hope to God thats as far as it went.
It would depend on how regularly is regularly too.
Sounds like that particular guy might be a bit too much into lad culture for me too. Going down the pub regularly with his mates, drinking and watching football, isnt really what I want from a guy. Might have been different when I was 20 with no kids.
I love football, apart from music it defines my lesuire time. I'm either watching it on TV, at a game, taking my boys training or at one of their games. At least whever possible that is.
Mrs MoK, on the other hand, like soaps and I don't. Look at the TV guide and tell me how many are on terrestrial TV every evening...
My sister is a football hooligan as his her semi-professional footballer boyfriend.
I'm surrounded by it.
:hyper:
Who? PM me if you like....
As I said, at least he's passionate about something that much which is a good thing. There are far too many people in this world who are apathetic and have no passion about anything. To quote Anton Chekhov, apathy is the paralysis of the soul.
If you don't understand football then that's fine but this does work both ways. I don't understand women's affinities with shopping yet men put up with it. It's all about give and take and compromise. You don't understand the things he does and he doesn't understand the things you do. If a woman didn't understand my love of football or guitars, then I'd show her the way out in a heartbeat. I wouldn't sell out my passions or my loves for any woman.
Plus he plays football which can't be a bad thing. Not only is it excellent excercise, it also releases a lot of testosterone. My ex used to love it when I came home from football all muddy and dirty. It made me look all manly (apparently).
Funnily enough, I played rugby for a long time, play football still but by the worst injuries I've ever had have all come from cricket.
Damaged vertebral tendons (which meant I could barely walk for a month and the doctor said that had I carried on bowling, there would have been a strong chance that I would never have been able to run again :nervous: but it did mean I get to have ultrasound )
Damaged under-kneecap cartilege which again crippled me for a few weeks
Various broken toes, fingers
Can't remember anything other than sore muscles and bruises from footy or rugby.
I'm not bothered if someone is into football and supports a team, but it puts me off when someone is obsessed with anything, whether that be a sport, drug or anything. My ex was obsessed with going to the gym and bodybuilding and that annoyed me (although at least that wasn't something he watched on TV).
I don't expect to see a guy all the time, only once or twice a week but when you both work full time it makes it pretty hard if there's constant football.
Besides it's not just football, it seems to be any sport so if football isn't on, it will be cricket or formula one.
I understand football, I like national games and the odd Villa game but I'm just not that passionate about it. I prefer to play sports than watch them.
Anyway cheers for the insight guys!
Related to this, I'm going to a Bloc Party concert tonight with a girl, and as a result I'm missing the Champions League games . I only realised the other day in the pub, whilst skysports news was on, that the two clashed. I was with said girl in the pub, and I told her I was gonna go round the pub seeing if I could sell my Bloc Party ticket to anyone, give her someone else to go with. Of course I was joking, but she wasn't impressed. :razz:
there are 2 guys i like at the mo and one is totally unattractive but we have so much in common but the other isnt interested in football but is lovely in every other way and i find myself much much more interested in the unattractive guy, almost entirely because of his love of football.
To be honest, I prefer that it is football rather than something a bit quirky.
i wouldnt give up for my footy for noone, its amazing. love it completely.
anyone who cant understand the obsession with footy can go get fucked, totally.
How pleasant :rolleyes:
There is a difference because most people like some music or some films but don't need to go and get obsessed by it!
I'm not asking anyone to give up their football!
There are always things that each person does or does not like in a relationship but you have to compromise and take it as part of the relationship I guess.
But he really enjoyed it and said to me after that at first he didn't want to go because it clashed with the Liverpool game :rolleyes: (he's not even a Liverpool fan!) but he decided there was more to life than football
Good job it wasn't a Man U or Ipswich game though, I would never have got him out the house!
And it's football again all this weekend!
