The endless conundrum. Do guys like sporty girls? Do they like girly girls? Does it really matter? (Probably/not at all/who cares?) However, the media (and by that we mean the tripartite of Elite Daily, Cosmopolitan and Buzzfeed), seem to frequently give somewhat mixed opinions on it – so we wanted to to challenge it.
I’m well aware that the reason I run, hit the gym and play a variety of sports isn’t to look good and keep guys happy. Far from it. And Kate & I have both been pretty vocal about our opinions on this – anyone who has sat in a pub post rugby with the two of us will very much testify that we aren’t doing anything to keep anyone but ourselves happy – but it is an interesting question that I’m pretty sure men themselves don’t even understand. I mean I could make you well aware of what a lot of guys will immediately say about girls playing rugby, however, on the other hand, they will also wax lyrical about how annoying it is to have a girlfriend who doesn’t know or care about their chosen sport and moans when their weekends are consumed by it. HOW CAN YOU WIN? Simples. The answer is do it right back at them.
(Kate and I both met our boyfriends through playing rugby. They obviously don’t have too much of a problem with that)
We constructed a bunch of thoughts and I then asked for a male opinion – and he was all to happy to oblige.
