There are few things that divide the sexes quite like football. To most
men, the game is a borderline religious experience, while to many women,
it’s 80-100 minutes of unabashed violence, punctuated by quaint little
committee meetings. So, how do you mend the gender divide and convince
your girlfriend to actually watch a game with you? The answer is easier
than you may think. Simply follow our suggestions below to get your
significant other interested in -- or at least, willing to
accept --
footy.
Sign her up for a tipping comp
Money, as a wise man once noted, is a wonderful motivator. Prompt your girlfriend to take an active interest in the game by signing her up for a season-long football tipping comp -- with a cash prize, of course. Once she puts her money on the line she’ll have extra motivation to keep track of what’s going on. Who knows, her strategy of selecting the team with the prettiest colours and cutest mascots may even pay off.Buy her a feminine-cut official jersey
Every woman loves to dress up. Make your girlfriend feel like part of the game by buying her an officially sanctioned NRL or AFL jersey. Unlike the billowy uniforms of old, the leagues now offer a wide range of jerseys featuring flattering feminine cuts and pink hues.Keep her liquored up with girly drinks during the game
Let’s face it: You’d probably watch a 12-hour chick flick marathon if you consumed enough beer; the same is true of your girlfriend. If you keep her plied with enough Cosmopolitans and Fuzzy Navels, she won’t mind what’s on the tube -- even if it’s the Cronulla Sharks.Draw her in with colourful gossip
Your girlfriend will never become interested in football if you begin by explaining the intricacies of the game itself. Instead, draw her in by regaling her with stories about Todd Carney's colourful off-field exploits, or the rumoured feuds between clubs' star players and their coaches. If you present the stories in the guise of hot gossip you’ll be sure to pique her interest.Another surefire way of getting her attention is by turning her on to the game’s sexiest stars. To you, Nick Riewoldt is the game-changing dynamo for the St Kilda Saints, but to your girlfriend he’s “that sexy guy from TV.” The same is true of Roosters veteran Braith Anasta. Despite all of his on-field heroics, your girlfriend will always think of him as handsome bloke who dated Erin McNaught and Jodi Gordon. Give into your gal’s celebrity obsession by pointing out all of the famous folks she’ll recognise from her dog-eared copy of New Woman magazine. She may start watching the game for all the wrong reasons, but at least she’ll be watching.
