How to Get Your Girlfriend to Let You Watch Sport

Getting your girlfriend to let you watch sport on T.V. can be challenging but it is not impossible. There are two types of women in the world when it comes to sport:

Those that like sport
Those who don’t

Now those that like sport can be further broken down into two groups:

Those who really like sport
And those who pretend to like sport because they think this will make them more attractive to guys

Now if you’ve started seeing a girl and you have just realized that she falls into the “Those who pretend to like it” group, as soon as she is comfortable in the relationship she will move into her true group, the group that hates sport.

Then you’ll have a problem. Gone are your carefree Saturdays watching the game. A girlfriend who hates sport will nag, whine and do her best to stop you from spending time in front of that T.V. unless its to watch girly movies with her. Here are some useful tips on how you can get your girlfriend on board with your need to watch sport.

Be Reasonable
First of all be reasonable. Spending every waking moment at home watching sport is not fair to her or your relationship. Be clear about when you’ll be spending your “me time” watching sport so that she can make other plans to occupy her time. Do remember that she needs quality time with you too, so share the love.

Get Her Into Sport
Try and get her into sport. Do this gradually and pick your favorite sport. Don’t bombard her with every little detail about every sport or player you admire. Be selective and she might learn some appreciation for the sport too. Explain the game rules and the skill involved in hitting a six in cricket or getting a touchdown in football or whatever sport you prefer.

Get Her to Play Sport
People that play sport have a better understanding of the game and a greater appreciation for it, so encourage her to play some backyard cricket or shoot some hoops with you. For extra incentive, tell her that she’ll burn a lot of calories and that lobbing balls will tone her arms.

Bribe Her
Lastly, bribe her with gifts or by offering to do extra household chores if she’ll let you watch the match in peace. Likewise promise to take her to dinner the following evening and keep that promise. All relationships are a compromise and if you give a little you’ll get a little.

If you are open and honest about your need to watch sport a reasonable girlfriend will be understanding and supportive. In truth, she’d probably be quite happy spending the day shopping with friends anyway.
