Some would say that there are two types of girls: the ones who love sports and the ones who don't, but that would be a lie. However, if you're lucky enough to know a girl who loves sports as much as you and all your buds, then you probably have a keeper. Below are the top five reasons why you should date a girl who loves sports.
1) Teamwork
These girls get it. They understand that teamwork makes the dream work, and life is something that you need a partner to get through. I mean, if 95 percent of what they watch is a group of people working together towards a common goal, chances are that it's going to translate into their personal life.
2) Loyalty
This one is relevant for any sports lover, but if your girl loves a particularly crappy team, chances are that her sense of loyalty is even stronger. It's easy to love a winning team but it takes a certain breed of person to stick around and support a team that sucks sometimes and frustrates us. This easily translates to men and might give you an advantage because that means she has patience too.
3) No distractions
With a girl like this you're actually going to be able to watch the game and won't have to explain what a ground rule double is in the bottom on the seventh inning. She will also probably be just as into the game as you are and will understand why it means so much. Therefore, no reaction is an overreaction!
4) She's going to be a hit with your friends
That weekly Bdubs man date that you have with your buds? No need to cancel just cause your girl wants to hang out -- bring her along! Wings, beer, and sports? What more could a girl want? And what more could your friends possibly want? They'll surely love a girl who can hang and knows what she's talking about. Win Win.
5) Gifts will be mutually easy
You love sports, she loves sports, you both love sports together. Seems like the perfect gift would be something sports related. Think about it: even if you buy her tickets for her birthday, it's also a gift for you, and she would feel the same way if the tables were turned.
To some people these things may not matter. Some people don't see the thrill of a Stanley Cup playoff game or don't quite understand how crazy being a die-hard fan can be. But if you're a guy and don't feel like explaining every aspect of a game to someone, your best bet is to date a girl with an interest in sports. Whether they root for the same team or not, there is just something about a girl who loves sports.
