Please, do explain how being a fan of a particular sport is getting you laid right now.
it's not getting me laid. I thought I explained that pretty clearly, but since you seemed to miss the point, let me elaborate.
"So you are wondering if a girl would find you more attractive if you expressed an interest in rooting for a group of men wearing a certain color of clothing to defeat another group of men wearing a different color, in an endeavor such as getting a piece of inflated leather over an arbitrary demarcation or throwing a ball through a metal hoop?
Seems that the negative reaction comes from your discomfort over the situation. "
when I go out, I often get asked if I'm a sports fan. I say I don't watch sports, expressing no discomfort. however, the reaction I tend to get is either the girl/girls look at me in disbelief, like I have a turd on my lip, or they occasionally will flat out tell me that it's a deal breaker for them if I don't like sports.
I have more important things to do with my time than sit in front of a tv watching sports. I'm trying to do well in my doctoral program, which will enable me to get a six figure starting salary anywhere in the country in three years, assuming I do well. I'm also learning new skills, like new songs to play on my guitar, new dishes to cook, a new language, improving my fashion sense, learning game...or I'm out doing things, like talking to girls, working out etc. evidently, many girls around here prefer guys who spend a lot of time drinking beer and staring/yelling at a tv screen over guys who do the kinds of things I do. I don't really care, I just want to take them home for the night and fuck them, so as long as I had some way to deflect the conversation in a different direction, or just expressed a basic knowledge of the local sports, it really wouldn't matter. all I really care about is if it will get me laid more often or not.
so my question is not if it will make me more attractive if I like sports. my question is how to bypass this particular problem. if anyone else has actually been in this situation and has a good way of dealing with it, please let me know. I'm not interested in anyone's opinions really, I only want advice that will help me succeed at what I'm trying to accomplish.
