Girls that go camping and watch sports??

[cheshrcarol]

Okay, why is it that I always find the guys that are really into camping, hiking and sports and want a girl that is too? Don't you guys have buddies for that stuff? I'm not opposed to trying out the camping thing, but do you really need to go out with someone who likes watching sports with you? I have my own girlie interests (scrapbooking anyone?) and I don't expect guys to want to be into that.

ok, rant over :redface: ;)

[MetFanL]

LOL... It's wishful thinking. Although, I have to say, that I've NEVER said to anyone that I want a guy who "loves shoe shopping and getting pedicures." ;)

[wordsmith]

I love camping, but less so the sports.

I don't expect guys I'm dating to come and journal in coffee shops with me because it's an interest of mine, and I'm pretty sure i won't have anybody cutting up, say, quilt squares.

I find that guys who are all about sports take it personally often if a girl's uninterested. Another thing I've found, too, is that sometimes (not every time) guys who are into sports aren't into anything else. It's either sports or nothing. I'm not into a limited range of interests, EVER, even when it IS something I like.

[Cole]

I love camping and any guy I'm dating better be up for a few long hikes and sun showers.

[Kitty]

I'm not really big on camping and hiking and crap..but I could do it.

Sports on the other hand..never. The thought of spending a sunday watching football sounds as appealing as stabbing my eyes out with dull pencils. Thank god my bf isnt into sports at all...

[J-girl]

Same here- I am okay with camping/hiking etc and even watching sports occassionally but at the end of the day I don't want watching sports to be a PRIORITY. Like fine if its an important game like Jays Vs Yankees (which I did attend once so sue me) but not all.the.time.

ETA: Kitty - me too. If I want to watch sports I rather watch it live but watching it on a Sunday afternoon is like shoving bamboo sticks in my nails. No thanks.

[Kitty]

My boyfriend is currently really into video games. Its bugging me. He bought ME a gamecube and he plays it about 10 times more than I do. I mean, I like to play a video game every once in awhile for an hour or so..but I can't do that crap every day or for multiple hours in a day. I don't get it.

[cheshrcarol]

Although, I have to say, that I've NEVER said to anyone that I want a guy who "loves shoe shopping and getting pedicures." ;)LOL, kind of my point.

And as for sports, I don't mind certain ones. I get really into march madness and I've had fun going to see pro hockey, football and baseball games. But to sit and watch something like NASCAR? UGHH. Not if you paid me. I said somethign to him about not getting the point and couldn't you just watch the last lap. His response was that you could just watch the last 2 minutes of a basketball game too. I'm still trying to figure out how to argue that analogy :p.

[wordsmith]

Anything that's a constant, a default, a pattern, a routine, bores me to tears.

You HAVE to mix it up. I don't care if you wanna go to some games. But EVERY time there is something? Every time it's on TV, it must be watched, can't do anything else? Meh. I mentioned that I like camping. But if that was ALL a guy wanted to do? Ugh.

[SmilesSoSweet]

I'm a huge sports fan - basketball, football, baseball, etc. I do a lot of tomboyish stuff, (thanks to being my brother's "little brother") but I don't meet guys in general to enjoy watching sports and stuff.

I'm not really into the shopping to go shopping or getting pedicures, hair cuts and stuff all the time. I do that occassionally. I really hate shopping.

Camping I've done before and I wouldn't mind going. I'm just not one to go camping for more than a weekend, because I start to miss my bed at home! LOL

I'd like to attend a lot of the sporting events in town (spring training, Suns games when they play the Lakers), but I never have anyone to go with and I don't want to go by myself to these events. Sucks.

[Winter Storm]

My issue is that camping and sports events are two things I'd like to do more of, camping, I've never done and I keep meeting guys that love these sort of things, but won't include a girl along. I can't tell you how many guys I've told that I want to try these things and not one has even invited me too.

Frustrating that I keep meeting guys that do cool, fun things and don't want chicks around. Fuck 'em I'll find someone else to do them with! :mad:

[Morgan81]

Because it's fun and we want to have fun with you. What's wrong with that?

[MetFanL]

I do have to say, though, that I have trouble dating guys that aren't into sports at all... It's tough when someone doesn't understand or support your love of something... It's fine not to be into it, but when you're constantly pressured b/c your interest is " stupid" to the other person, it's frustrating. Maybe the dude has experienced that and that's why he said that?

[coll214]

Personally I love camping. I've been going since I was about two... and I can handle some sports like baseball, basketball, but not to watch ALL the time. And like Words said, i've noticed alot of guys that aren't into sports, don't have other hobbies. It's all or nothing; and there's no doing anything when said event is on. Even my own grandmother will tape her precious basketball games every now and then if she has somewhere to go (like a quilting conference :huge:) but guys can't do that?

[Cole]

Because it's fun and we want to have fun with you. What's wrong with that?

ezzacly.


ohforcryingoutloudhereareyourextracharacters

[Deni81]

I'm not into camping, tried it before and it's not for me. But sports is different. I love watching football and basketball.

[J-girl]

I could never date a guy who is not into sports AT ALL. My whole family is into sports. My mom played volleyball, my dad soccer, and I am like a jack of all trades but physically active nonetheless.

But to reiterate- watching sports with beer in hand is NOT a sport

[wordsmith]

I think the issue comes in on whether or not "fun" is the mutual assessment.

[blueyes]

I would love to go camping more...but no one will take me up on it. :(

AND while I do enjoy watching some Steelers football or Pens hockey (now that they've ditched Recci and they're winning) - I'm a bigger fan of playing football (sans bone-breaking tackles) or Ultimate. Again...no one to take me up on this...!

[wordsmith]

Isn't it really just a compatibility issue? You want to be with people who value the same things you do, and at a comparable level. Of course, if you have really varied interests, it's easier to find areas where they overlap. If you've only got one major interest, it's not as likely.

[cheshrcarol]

You're right about compatibility. I'm just one of those people that goes and does whatever I'm going to do (skiing, scrapbooking, shopping, a night in manhattan w/friends, whatever ). And if the person I'm seeing wants to do it too, awesome. If not, we can plan something we both want to do. I guess if you can't find anything you want to do together, then you have a problem. I just don't require that guys have the same interests, although in most cases it would be nice. And I'm uncomfortable with that being expected of me. But we haven't really gotten to that point yet, I'm trying to feel this guy out and see what the expectations are.

[FacelessInLA]

Personally, I prefer someone with a variety of interests and an open mind. If we have the same interests, we can enjoy them together. If we have different interests, it means twice the activities and more things to teach each other.

People who stereotype activities as "male" or "female", refuse to try other activities, and assume things about their sig nifs based on that are really missing out. Afterall, who says you can't enjoy both the game AND the mall? :)

[and1grad]

His response was that you could just watch the last 2 minutes of a basketball game too. I'm still trying to figure out how to argue that analogy :p.
HA! Thats a great analogy.

I'm also into sports and not anything outdoorsy. No camping, hiking, nature channel, natonal geographic, none of that. I'm not sure I'd care if a girl was into sports. I'd rather they be into cooking...and not talking so much during the game. Stuff like that. :evil: :lol:

[wordsmith]

Hah. Actually, there's no point in watching sporting events at all, when it gets right down to it...you can just read about them in the paper and see what happened. :razz: :cool:

[spokes]

LOL... It's wishful thinking. Although, I have to say, that I've NEVER said to anyone that I want a guy who "loves shoe shopping and getting pedicures." ;)

what!!!! you mena there ae actually girls that like getting this stuff done - where does a fella who enjoys sports (mostly playing them - but also taking time to watch them - although my life will only stop for certain games) meet such a woman........ :huge:

[dengeist]

It means you like "manly" men Carol, that's all. Two day growth men, burp and fart men, a man's man. ;):

[SunDevil]

It's the fact that they want to be compatible with you. They like something, and hope they can have fun with you.

I couldn't be with a girl who doesn't like camping. It shows that she can escape from normal life and modern day comforts, and be happy spending time with you.

As for sports, I watch some games every now and then. It's pretty much just the playoffs and ASU football(when they are doing good). It's also a cheap and easy date. I am starting to not care about sports though.

[MuBetaPsi_Xi]

I understand why a guy who likes to camp would look for a girl who wants to camp. Both of my parents went camping with THEIR parents when they were kids, so when I was growing up my family did ALOT of camping. Usually that would be our entire vacation - we would go camping someplace for a week. My parents even owned a pop-up camper at one point. I think that its a lifestyle choice - if you expect to someday start a family and take your kids camping, you're going to look for somebody else who likes to camp.

I feel bad for my poor fiance, because when we started dating we talked about how we both went camping with our parents when we were growing up. He was excited about going camping with me, and he even has a tent already. However, I have been having back problems on and off for the past two years, and the thought of sleeping on the ground makes me wince. I think that after all the wedding craziness is over, I will suggest that we get cots or an air mattress or something and go on our first camping trip together.

I have three sisters who love to camp, so maybe I should be pushing them in the directions of those guys you cite.

I don't understand the sports thing, though. I watched the playoffs and the Super Bowl, and a good part of the Olympics, and I even read the ESPN website this winter, but sports for the most part bore me.

Would either of you like to go camping? Seriously it's really hard to find girls that like going camping. . .I like mnt. biking, backpacking, etc, and in general like doing outdoor things, but don't care about team sports. . .

I had one girlfriend who was into mnt. biking and backpacking and stuff. . .it was awesome. . . I really wish we had something else in common. This was a major issue with my last girlfriend because beyond her not being interested in going backpacking or hiking, etc with me she really didn't like me being gone for a long weekend. . .

Two words: Air Mattress!!

[SunDevil]

That's what we could do, go on a QLC camping trip in Pennsylvania/Chicago.

[dengeist]

I'd be down for that.

[cheshrcarol]

It means you like "manly" men Carol, that's all. Two day growth men, burp and fart men, a man's man. ;):LOL. He also likes like Harry Potter and Star Trek reruns ( :eek: ). And he thought I had eclectic tastes :neutral: .

But we cleared up the camping thing, he likes to go once a year. That I think would be fun. I'm just not up for an every weekend kind of thing.

[lonestar]

I love slasher films, my last girlfriend was either too scared or was adverse to murder. Next time, I am going to find a girl that likes murder.

[wordsmith]

There are actually phenomenal places to camp not very far outside of Chicago. Out by me!

[coll214]

Hahaha, i've got a friend we call a potential serial killer thanks to her love all movies violent, scary, and involving the military :huge:. Interesting taste for an elementary school teacher.

[EmberMae]

I can understand wanting to have similar interests as your SO. My boyfriend is my best friend and if you can't share your interests with your best friend then who can you share them with? I have no interest in sports whatsoever, and neither does my boyfriend thankfully. Okay, there is one exception, I like watching A & M vs. UT games and cheering for UT in order to annoy my brother.

My bf is in to camping and hiking. I like hiking but we haven't tried camping yet. I'm willing to try it but I doubt I'd do it for more than a weekend, I'm a real hygeine freak.

[ebruening]

I love camping and any guy I'm dating better be up for a few long hikes and sun showers.

I love camping, too. Tent camping is awesome! I'm not into killing my own food or anything, unless you count finding mushrooms in the forests (the last time I tried, I was in botany class in college...so I think my skills at picking out the non-poisonous kind have diminished considerably). I do like watching hockey. I got up early on a Saturday morning just to watch the gold medal hockey match between Finland and Sweden. I never pass up a hockey game, televised or otherwise. I don't watch football or basketball, but I do enjoy catching a baseball game now and then (especially when the Yankees are playing.) However, I don't necessarily like PLAYING sports :neutral: Watching them is fine by me, but I'm not wanting to go out and play rugby, getting all dirty and scraped up in the process.

[heatherf]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Back to the first page of this thread----

NASCAR is a sport?

You lost me there. :confused:

It's a compatibility issue, really it is. I *heart* hiking, camping, and watching sports- and so does my husband. But let me just say that this means I suck or lack in other areas, such as making a Thanksgiving Dinner. See, I'd rather be watching football games and drinking beer, not so much on stuffing a bird.

[ebruening]

[SmilesSoSweet]

I can't really cook either especially large meals! But I can clean and organize a house really well! I watch my sports like a guy (I'm yelling at the TV and throwing stuff at it if my team isn't winning). I get that from my brother and dad and the rest of the males in my extended family.

[MrAnonymous]

A good friend of mine broke up with his girl over this issue- and a few others- but this was one.

She simply hated camping and hiking.

His perspective was that he had only so many hours in the week and once he had an open weekend he was booking for the mountains. Once he did that she felt he wasn't spending any time with her. We went into the Grand Canyon over a 4 day break and that almost ended the relationship because she wanted that time.

One thing is to enjoy it, another thing is to be into it. It take time to get out into the wilderness.

Essentially, if a girl is not into that stuff then it's an indication for someone like him that they had not alot in common...

She did have an appealing body though...

[asm198]

I like the wilderness and country settings (heck, I lived in it for most of my life), but camping is not something I'm willing to do. I went from the midwest to Yellowstone one year with my fiance's family. We got cabins to stay in and I wasn't all that happy. And this is from a girl who GOT to Yellowstone on the back of a motorcycle. And has done numerous motorcycle trips before. I just hate tents. And cabins, even if they have running water. Give me a hotel any day of the week.

People push on me that it's 'communing with nature'. Well, I did that for 18ish years. Let me 'commune with the city' for a bit. I've lived in a city for 2 years now and it's still a novelty to have more than a Walmart be less than an hour+ away.

We never killed game for food. If we had wild game for dinner, it was in trade. However, my pet fed us for a winter. Her name was Martha. She was a cow that I had raised from a bottle. It hasn't sent me into therapy or made me a swear off meat. That's how things are done.

My fiance has no interest in sports. Any sport. At all. He doesn't care in the least about any of that stuff. I am mildly interested in sports. I love hockey, baseball and basketball (to a degree). He doesn't care. Never has.

But we still get along. He amuses me when I demand to go to an occasional hockey game and I amuse him when he want to ride his bike. It all works out in the end.

Really? You are not hanging about the right crowds. Hmm... Come to Canada man! Think you will find more happy campers here. I like camping and am ambivalent about team sports. Perhaps we are more common up here - girls who are not into team sports AND/OR like camping :) Yeah it is probably harder to deal with a lack of love for camping than too much love for team sports. You can just do something else while they watch TV. Camping? Hey I wanna spend my weekends TOGETHER.

Carol I had no idea liking Star Trek (NExt GEN) and HArry Potter was so weird :redface:

[cheshrcarol]

Carol I had no idea liking Star Trek (NExt GEN) and HArry Potter was so weird :redface:Um yeah, liking Star Trek is weird. Liking Harry Potter, for a guy, also struck me as odd, but I like HP too.

[wordsmith]

How can liking Star Trek be weird? It's endured for decades, the actors/characters/name of the freaking starship are iconic in the pop cultural sense...I don't even watch it, never have, and even I can tell you tons of stuff about it. Trekkies have their "cult classic" thing going on, but so do Kevin Smith fans, etc. To me, it would be more weird to like something that's completely obscure than something that's so known to the mainstream.

[hoodie]

Man, I must be kind of weird. I like camping a lot, and even moreso, I adore watching some sports. Not a fan of NASCAR or college football, but ask me anything about NCAA basketball; it's my obsession. My boyfriend and I have had some awesome dates just going to Buffalo Wild Wings and watching tons of basketball on the big screens. It's so much fun!

[wordsmith]

I think I would literally die on a sports bar date.

I love classical music, studied music for years. I wouldn't dream of taking somebody to, say, a symphony concert on a date if I knew damned well they didn't particularly like instrumental music and had no interest in it. I think that's just being considerate of other people's preferences.

I also wouldn't say "Oh, wow, you don't like classical music concerts, we're completely incompatible and can't date, because that's really all I like doing on the weekends and have no other interests." I have run into guys who are this way about sporting events, though. That's weird to me, when you have very limited interests.

Yes, I consider that weird.

[wordsmith]

Maybe he just doesn't watch TV, though, Carol. I don't even HAVE TV and the only stuff I watch with any regularity is Law and Order in syndication when I'm at my parents'. Any TV shows I do watch, I Netflix.

[cheshrcarol]

Maybe he just doesn't watch TV, though, Carol. I don't even HAVE TV and the only stuff I watch with any regularity is Law and Order in syndication when I'm at my parents'. Any TV shows I do watch, I Netflix.No, he does. He has the same cable I do, but with an extra movie channel I don't have.

[wordsmith]

Why would you pay for cable if you don't watch it? I mean, I know that's why I don't have TV, it would be an unnecessary expenditure, waste of $$$. That IS weird to me. More than the being into sports and camping thing, for sure.

[cheshrcarol]

Well, he said he occasionally likes to watch the history channel or discovery channel (which is cool, I like a lot of random stuff on both of those too). But the only regular shows he watches were star trek and macguyver.

The more I think about it, the more I think I just don't have much in common with this guy :neutral: .

[coll214]

Hey Carol, do you thing he's the type that claims he watches no TV but in actuality... ? My ex was like that... "oh no I don't watch anything except Smallville", except anytime he came over my house and I wanted to watch something he still seemed to know the characters...

[cheshrcarol]

LOL, Coll. I'm not sure. I did mention that I really liked the Amazing Race and he said he'd never heard of it.

[coll214]

My most recent canadian experience was Nelson during new years and it was full of 19 y/o american kids. . .ug. Yeah, like I said my last girl frined didn't like me heading out fo a weekend which is understandable. . . but. . yeah If I don't get out at least hiking or mnt. biking pretty regularly I get a little stir crazy

[bridgetjones]

Um yeah, liking Star Trek is weird. Liking Harry Potter, for a guy, also struck me as odd, but I like HP too.

Really? I know a perfectly athletic manly guy into team sports that rather openly reads Harry Potter. Not sure if he'd be into Star Trek though...

BC? Well I was in Northern Ontario for NYE. That place is usually full of Canadians. Not so good for the downhill skiing though but lots of crosscountry trails. The area outside Tremblant is mostly rural Quebec. There are other ski hills there... It is mostly Quebecers and English Canadians... Unless you go to Tremblant. :)

Yeah unless your gal can stand camping, canoeing, biking and hiking some of the time, you are either gonna be frustrated or she will be frustrated. Niether of you will be happy on weekends. Camping is time consuming.

[Q21]

I love camping and any guy I'm dating better be up for a few long hikes and sun showers.

It's actually a prerequisite for me. :-)

[asm198]

Um yeah, liking Star Trek is weird. Liking Harry Potter, for a guy, also struck me as odd, but I like HP too.

Liking Star Trek is so not weird. I prefer TNG to any other one myself, but DS9 is pretty good. (How nerdy are we? I couldn't think of DS9 and had to ask my fiance. Told him one thing about it and he rattled it off to me. I kept thinking it was Stargate, a totally different show.)

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with liking Macguyver! Or Knight Rider, for that matter!

Anyway, as far as hiking goes, I like that. And I'm the first in my group of friends to suggest white water rafting (class III and above, thanks), if we're in an area to do so. I just don't like tents or cabins. I mean, I'll sleep on the ground if I need to, but I don't like it, nor do I want to. It's not the wildlife or anything like that, I just want to sleep in a comfy bed with 4 walls and a nice place. I won't bitch if we've decided to camp (once we're there, that is. I'll bitch beforehand). I don't know. I guess I'm of the thinking that, if we're going to actually camp, we should totally live off the land. Sleep under the stars. Kill our own food. Seriously wilderness survival stuff. Otherwise, why bother? I mean, if you're going to drag all that gear out with you, you're not really camping.

[RealDeal]

Okay, why is it that I always find the guys that are really into camping, hiking and sports and want a girl that is too? Don't you guys have buddies for that stuff? I'm not opposed to trying out the camping thing, but do you really need to go out with someone who likes watching sports with you? I have my own girlie interests (scrapbooking anyone?) and I don't expect guys to want to be into that.

ok, rant over :redface: ;)

LOL, I hear ya but I when I think about it, I would rather them be into camping than shopping -- you know? Guys who are into camping and sports seem to know more about life in general -- at least from my experiences -- they know how to get stuff done around the house like if something breaks. They are not momma boys but then again this is only from my experiences :)

[dengeist]

I'm thinking about a recent experience I had with a woman I took to a reservation for a little hiking. I did throw a little romance in there and broke out a blanket, a radio and some food. But it was kind of funny, because I said, "We're going HIKING at Watchung reservation, bring a bottle of water." What does she wear? A pair of brand new, white sneakers!

I've been talking to her for about a month and a half and every so often, she says, "I can't believe you MADE me wear new sneakers! Now they're my hiking sneakers."

Just a funny little tangent.
