I tell you how tired I am the only woman complaining about how difficult it is to achieve a decent man? The problem is not lack of quality men. In fact, I know quite a few gems only. The problem exists where looking for ladies. They will not find the man right in a seedy bar or collection as a whole. If a man who values integrity, honor and good sportsmanship, you have to go where are real men. In the fall, it means your local sports bar.
Football is the all-American game. If you cannot get in the game, they are preventing some of the best guys in the city. Here you will find men who truly believe in honor, both inside and outside the field. Football players are not stereotypical big dumb athletes. They have had to work very hard to get where they are, and there is no NFL players that have not made a real commitment to the game. The fans are equally committed to the game and their teams. Both the common complaint that "it is impossible to find a man who can make a commitment".
Personally, I'm hooked on the game itself. I love the strategy, the element of surprise and excitement (and I'm not terribly against Nice football boots tight trousers, either). It may or may not develop his own passion for the game, but you need to get a basic understanding of how it works if you don't want to come off like a fool. Guys can detect fraud kilometers, so it is better to admit his ignorance and ask questions, rather than trying to pretend that you know the game. Of course, this only works for so long and needs to bone-up on football to hang with the guys. Start with the basics - need to know what teams are playing, and really helps to have a favorite. I myself am a fan of Raiders tried and true, but they are not for the weak heart, being the only NFL team to play against the opposing team and the umpires selectively blind (personal, hidden) of course.
If you don't have a favorite team in mind, you could just go with the team of his hometown. Whether the city that lives, or which came. If it doesn't work for you, then you probably come from Cincinnati or Cleveland and must choose a random team. I know that women who have made their selection based on color jersey seemed better, what logo they liked better, or that her ex-boyfriend despised the most hated team. However, make your selection, pick your team and stay with them through the good and the bad.
Start reading the sports page. It is necessary to understand what is happening in the world of football. Initially, very little it might make sense, but read on and you'll be surprised how much you can really learn. For a high-level overview, listen to the segment of sports in their news on the local network. ESPN has a great website where you can always find the most recent statistics of all teams. At least try to learn about the most recent disputed calls, injuries and controversies.
Get a good pal to tutor him in the fundamentals of the game. I recommend choosing a friend, no boyfriend, who is a patient soul. Also, you are best to learn from a recorded game, so he already knows the outcome and do not care to stop the tape to explain what just happened. It was totally anti-football until a good friend sat me down with a few brews and a recorded game. Thanks to their patience and understanding of the game I am now an inhabitant of regular Sunday in the sports bar. Don't forget to check between the gal pals; You can have an amateur football hidden within it. The bonus is not only a great lesson, but also a buddy to join you in his foray into the NFL Sunday night football fandom and sports bar!
I will also continue to have a series on the fundamentals of my favorite game.
