    Being a woman who likes sports I swear is a deterrent. I'm a sports writer and I can't even pay a guy to go out with me. I hope it works well for other women!

    I am starting to think that women that know and can talk sports get friendzoned because when we talk about them guys automatically see you as a buddy.

    There is a ESPN reporter by the name of Samantha Steele dating Christian Ponder of the Vikings.

    ETA - I don't get how a reporter dates an athlete she's only met a handful of times at the most, but hey, she's hot, probably had something to do with it.

    This might be incredibly sexist, but if you're a woman in sports reporting, I don't think you can date the athletes. I just think it discredits you, makes you seem to be a fan girl.

    If you like sports, I think it is great to like sports...but you should never fake it for a man. Just tell them, "I hate baseball! I'm going to the gym while the game's on, let's go out after!"

    Samantha Steele is good looking.

    I've never once heard of a male sports media member dating and/or having sex with a female athlete. Not even a hot one like Maria Sharapova, Amanda Beard, Ana Ivanovic, etc.

    I like the idea about women being real about how they feel about sports.

    It depends on how good looking you are and the manner in which you talk about it. If you know how the Triangle Offense works in basketball better than most guys, it may not work in your favor (unless you're really good looking!).

    If you are a woman who played NCAA level tennis, soccer, swimming, etc & I'm meeting you out and about & you've got an athletic sexy bod still. I'm going to be interested.

    I would imagine that generally, yes, this is the case (Our friend the unpopular blogger actually says don't try to be a bloke).
    Reciprocally, imagine a man talking about perfume (or make up)... Far from being a turn on isn't it?

    Now if you happen to genuinely like to talk about perfume as a guy then you're a bit screwed, but I'm sure there are women that wouldn't mind.

    Did you just say this? :noway: Ok, so the basic answer really boils down to 'shut up and look pretty' then, right? :huh:

    I play and watch sports with guys so generally we would be talking about them when we play or watch them. You want me talking about the decline of the dollar while watching the Vikings get their *kitten*'s handed to them?

    That's the answer to 99% of questions asked :laugh: Just kidding.

    I think what DM was trying to say was that if you are trying to land a professional athlete who's worth millions, you need to bring your A game.

    Question to the guys.. do you think it's intimidating dating a women who's been with a professional athlete? I briefly dated a women years ago who use to date an athlete at Boston College (who later played in the NFL). Everything was fine until I found out about this. After she told me, I was very intimidated around her.

    In short, I don't think I could ever date anyone who's been with a professional athlete.

    I have a great man talking with me now, and it started because we like the same football team. I do believe that women can like sports teams and trash talk with a guy, but still be a woman. You have to have fun in a relationship and if that's one of your common interests, where's the harm? There are some womanly conversations that I reserve for my girlfriends, just as I would assume there are many manly conversations that he would have with his guy friends. As long as you are able to keep the balance of fun and femininity, there shouldn't be an issue.

    I wouldn't want a guy to talk about perfume and make up because that's f*cking boring. If I met a guy that would watch My Little Pony with me (Bronies unite!) or ANTM (guilty pleasure, I've gotta have one, haha) then that's cool with me. As long as we both like it.

    Mike - as far as not being able to date someone that's been with a professional athlete? Sounds like self esteem issues. If I was with a guy that dated a supermodel prior to me I would be -stoked- because guess who's gettin' the goods now? This gal.

    Actually, on that note, it's just more evidence that the dude is talking out of his a$s. Does he really think female conversation is dominated by perfume and make up? F*cking stupid.

    I dated a girl with an ex who was on the cover of Playgirl. The only thing that bothered me was she had a picture from the photo shoot on her refrigerator. I asked her if she would put it someplace where I didn't have to see it every time I came over and she did. After that no problems. I dated another girl who had an ex that played 3 seasons in the NFL. No problems there either. It just told me that she liked bigger guys.

    I also know several guys who've been olympic or professional athletes. A lot of times there is nothing that special about them. They have a lot of talent and work hard to get the most from that talen but are extremely lacking in almost every other way. A lot of them aren't very intelligent and if they didn't have a very marketable gift would be lucky to get a job at a convenience store. That doesn't mean all or even most are like that. But there are enough out there like it that it isn't a rarity either. A lot of them have extremely broken bodies as a result of playing too. One of my good friends played 9 years in the NFL. He has knee, back and shoulder problems. At his peak he was 6'7" 325 pounds with very little body fat. He had a hard time picking his kids up to hold them when they were younger and had to ice down for three days just to do a father/daughter dance at their school.

    Pro-Athlete's are over rated. Had a friend that used to date Julius Peppers and she was no where near a 10. I am just talking about guys in general.
