The Wise Guy's Guide to Women's Football Fellowship
From thefootballgirl.com
Soccer and the relationship can be a dangerous combination. As an avid football fan and serial monogamous, I should know. In my last count, I gave 13 different women the title of "girlfriend" since I was old enough to know what that means. And each had a different form of bothering when we look at football together, except the number 13 which, by chance, now holds the title of Mrs. Wise Guy. Since I've finally found the Holy Grail of business women watching football, I feel uniquely qualified to use my powers of observation large nitpicky for good and give some tips for the readers of this site.
The first thing you should know is that as different as men can be in your knowledge and interest in soccer, which are remarkably uniform when it comes to detecting an attractive woman (sure, there is controversy surrounding the margins, line call Kirsten Dunst). More importantly, we are all agree that the girls are interesting, and if you're a wife, girlfriend, or maybe looking for, you should be "cool football." There is a theory floating know that football can raise a child of two points on the proverbial scale of 1-10, and I fully subscribe to it. For most men, football is our favorite sport, and to share that joy with the Virgin is surpassed only by sex, food, and perhaps the birth of a child. Moreover, many women can (both consciously or unconsciously) watching football ruin the experience of men, which is the first step towards harmony in general.
To help maximize their potential to be "cool football, women who have broken into four categories: the hater, tolerator, the casual fan, and fan knowledge. Sure, I could do the same for men (eg, pompous man who tries to correct everyone about the rules, the mysogonist, the guy who only cares by fantasy, dorky man pretending to care, but only wants to talk about their work, alcohol), but that's not the point of the article. The point here is to maximize their desirability to men with few basic ideas in our psychology fairly uniform. do with that power you want.
The Hater
Do not like football. With the exception of gymnastics in the Olympics, you can do without sport completely. Chances are that you grew up in a home with her two sisters and a domineering mother to his father who trained to pee sitting to go to the bathroom whenever be clean. Since they were tormented by that dumbass cheerleader and her boyfriend in the study room, which has gone out of your way to avoid athletes. You have found a sanctuary in the artistic / Theater clique in high school, and you went to a small liberal arts college do not even have a football team. Frankly, I have no idea of how you come to this website.
After earning a master of [something] practice, which took root in the bohemian part of the city and finally began to seek a life partner. One day at a museum at random, there it was: worship, sensitive, philanthropic, and, of course, cute nerd. You spent together taking a glorious summer day trips, watching movies, buying used books, and checking the latest coffee shops. During a weekend trip August in the Poconos, he declared his love, and moved with him next week. By reducing approached, it began secretly checking out house open to the public in the newspaper.
But then came that fateful day when he said ever so docile that likes to see the Seahawks Sunday. And the other good games. And the grand finale, playing fantasy. Uf At this point, you're stuck .. You love him (not to mention that sold all his furniture on craigslist), but never penetrated to be with someone that week, like football. It instantly evokes her childhood again and remember all great tactics that his mother in his father take a hard line at first, accept only if requested and make it look like you're doing you a favor letting watch the games, so while he is watching the games, ask him to do homework or take the dog. Sounds like the perfect solution.
Except it is not. Sooner or later, he's going to get away from you for a bachelor party weekend and go all Ed Helms from the hangover of you. So what your 3-9 hours on Sunday. Leave and find something else to do. Everything will be over soon.
Of course, if he is also in college football just should be cut their losses and end the relationship now. It will not work.
The Tolerator
You have the same interest in both football as his "enemy" counterpart, but unlike her, you are a natural pleaser. While we are aware that you must tread carefully if you want to venture into more games with us. Being a tolerator football is like being a doctor, his oath is "do no harm." First, this means that we must pay attention to the game. Because soccer is such a long game, there is a lot of time when fans are talking about other things or simply not paying attention. However, during this crucial time – on fourth place, a two-minute drill, a game winning field goal – there's nothing more annoying someone talking.
As a corollary to pay attention "rule, say you're looking to spice up your game observation experience with a little action during halftime. Normally you qualify this as "the coolest girl ever football" but if, say, half time of the 2005 Divisional Playoffs, and Steve Smith burned the secondary for only the second touchdown of the game goes deep in the middle, the man is not going to be in the state of encouragement. Know the game situation and the emotional effect it is having on him.
And let me suggest, if you take the initiative to deal effectively and learn the game, it could pay big dividends in football, "cool" department. No question is stupid when it comes to football, and the kids come down to show the knowledge and authority. Just do not do during a fourth goal y.
The Casual Fan
This is the category most fans come inside, boy or girl. Most likely, you're huge in his college team. But the NFL is not college. Being a fan college football is easy. Only dressed in their school clothes, drinking yourself into a stupor and scream your head for three hours.
But let's be honest, the NFL has become the place for fans of sophisticated (Under his Cheesehead proverbial "Dawg" mask, and pills tip shoulder), and is a minefield for the uninitiated. With all the technological advances and growing popularity, there is no escaping the NFL analysis. Each fan has now opinion about the game they are watching, which is cemented by all the talking heads on ESPN, NFL Network, and pre and post contests. fantasy Throw in the mix, and now we're talking about a sport that has become overwhelming to many fans.
So if your goal is to maximize the cool football "," Have something important to learn to do. But enjoy the game, have a strong interest in rooting for their team and you got to this site, so you're already halfway there.
Unfortunately, the second half involves a job. You have to go to some websites related to football all morning (hmm … I wonder what?) and read the main stories. Watch Sportscenter or other sign of relief Sunday night to make sure they know what happened in every game. For most kids, this comes as second nature (because we have many interests), but for women it is more difficult because there Zappos shoes to buy, trips to plan, and celebrity gossip to see. But trust me, get into this habit, and you'll be surprised at the dividends. Especially for all single women (All the single ladies!). Know the main story and what happened in each game will allow you to hang any happy hour, dinner or a conversation wasteful corporate participation in the NFL. If you throw a little humor to boot teams shit or stupid moves as a coach, you immediately be labeled as "cool" girl. You will hand thus comes off the gloves.
However, if you want to do with fans who know outside the single life in the real games, since then only a superficial knowledge of what happened is not enough. You have to know why it happened. I'm just the authority on why professional football events played out as they do. But what I know: 95% of the fans, 80% of advertisers and 30% of coaches (Jim Zorn, Herm Edwards, Dennis Green and come to mind) either. You must find the experts. The easiest way: Cris Collinsworth see Sunday night because he knows what makes and breaks in football strategy beyond the usual "playing with a lot of passion out there" that the line obtained from most of the speakers. Also great is the AFC and NFC Playbook shown on NFL Network's movie real break of the game and show you how structures have a huge effect on how it becomes a play out. My personal opinion is that knowledge of the strategy that goes behind making soccer watch the games much more satisfying experience, and who appreciate what a chess game play is.
In a more practical level, only know a little about the strategy behind the game instantly make you more knowledge than almost any guy you are, and immediately begin to captivate people with ideas without even knowing it. Assuming you take the advice in the next section, is about "football cool as they come.
The fan with knowledge
You know the game inside and out. You play fantasy football and ass kick worldwide. Everything in this article until this point was a curiosity, as a college professor attending a high school class. And the boys are simply in fear. But as Michael Jordan, was recently in his Hall of Fame speech, just because you're good at something does not make you nice and cold. If you have a chip on his shoulder, are combative, or proclaim know-it-all status, people will tolerate when you're around and make snide remarks behind their backs. Now, as you know-you I, all I've become too familiar with the looks of people when faced with I crossed the line into pomposity. But women who know the sport, especially football, have a certain perspective that I have come to appreciate only after several successful seasons with Mrs. Wise Guy.
Other girls that ruin you. Those who hate the tolerators, casual fans, that all conditions boys to believe that you know nothing. You constantly feel like you have to prove themselves and establish their credibility. Ladies, I feel your pain, but simply, you should get over it. The vast majority of kids will instantly recognize as different and give it the respect it deserves. So be confident, and do not go on the warpath when you feel disrespected.
In that same reason, one thing male bonding that goes beyond just talk about football. Therefore, please make every effort to not get too upset when we regress at the time. The interaction of the other ball burst, arguing about which celebrity du jour is warmer, or communicate through movie quotes is something that many women have difficulty entering, no matter how much you think you are one of the boys. Once again, just understand that this is not about you. It's a long game, and Will Ferrell impression that once you've heard by 120th eventually going to end. And while you're rolling your eyes at the moment 119, if you get cold, will thank you.
