Men who think that just because we are women, we do not know what we are talking about when it comes to a certain Sport.

Get with it, a lot of women know a lot about sports and consider it quite abasing when you try to handle us, and quite bluntly state we don't know what we are talking about.

So please do not feel inferior to a women if she knows something about a sport, don't try to make her feel that her input is insignificant but rather try to treat her as an equal.

Rant Over.

Well said Lil' bear! In my home, I am the AVID sports fan- my husband plays a couple of sports but doesn't follow ANY of them- so whatever, that stereotype would be blasted t smithereens in my home! **shrugs


Of course I don't look busy... I did it right the first time!

Wait. How do women find the time to learn about sports between cooking and cleaning?

Not very clever!!

I have to say though i have a great many male friends who i have long and enjoyable conversations with about both boxing and cars. Yes they were surprised initially when i was able to follow their so called manly chats and found me not to be a woman who referred to cars by colour but since then we have great chats. Although i won't talk about football, will never understand the offside rule and only watch rugby cos the men are fit, but that doesn't mean i'm stupid so you go li'l bear!! Hugs to you!!


Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room

Is this about last night? It's not that I don't think you know anything about sports. You came into my thread and stated talking s**t, and it wasn't appreciated!

Nothing to do with your thread, as I stated in your thread I was kidding around. So don't make it personal K??


That settled; it's about many men that I know and many men in "general". Every time a woman I know tries to talk about sports, the men look at them like they're from Mars.

Hey I only love Hockey, and I don't only go for the Canadian Teams either, which really upsets some die hard Canadian Men I go for the team that shows skill and effort and works together as a team, along with their goaltender. Not a team that gets by only because of the goal tending.

woah!......don't need to be talking s**t here.



personally, I love, follow and watch the Toronto Maple Leafs, even if I don't understand it all.

Men have always been way up there in sports, its the thing they know!

Yes, there are women in sports and that watch sports, but the majority are men.

and I thank them for that, they help me understand it better!




got a face job done, like it?

Don't worry, we've already settled this very amicably, so there's no hard feelings. So he's NOT talking s**t, just stating his opinion which he has the right to and I explained so it's history.

As for your opinion that men know more about sports than women, that's OK if you don't understand the sport and you have men to help you understand and I'm glad that these men are helping you.

Hey! I'm all for that if you as a woman don't know or understand something, then there is no shame in getting some input from those that do. After all that's how we all learn, from those that know. And it took a lot for you to come on and say that you don't understand sports and find that men understand it more than you do. Way to go, nice to see someone honest and not ashamed to say that they need men to explain sports to them.

Two Thumbs up to you for your honesty. Oh! I gave you kudos for that. Edited for typos
