Why do ye girls only seem to go for GAA jocks?

af_thefragile

A very common thing i've noticed in my college.
All girls only seem to go for the GAA jocks and don't quite give much of a chance to the other more intellectual guys.
Why is this so?

Or maybe to put it another why do ye seem to prefer a not that intellectual GAA playing jock over a more intellectual musician or something...? Ya know, someone who can write and sing to you songs about love, lust, philosophy and hate...

those people are gay. anyone wud prefer someone with good condition rather than some skinny moron writing potry....ROFL

I don't think I could ever go out with someone who was really into sports tbh, they'd be forever training, nagging at me to go to their silly matches and might end up with something like that 'beefcake' look which I really don't find attractive.

Musicians and poets ftw

Acacia

Agree with Living Dead Girl. I've no interest in GAA jocks, their sport talk would bore me to tears, for a start. Would much prefer a musician.

Hang on in there, OP!

Creamy Goodness

don't worry they'll come back to us when their biological clock starts a ticking since they won't want culchie babies.

af_thefragile

Lol, almost every girl in my college doing physiotherapy says the reason they're doing it is to be able to get in the Irish rugby team or something and work their hands on all of those "hot" jocks...
And those jocks seem to get all the girls too...


Maybe i need to stop writing hate songs n move to some more positive love songs...

Catari Jaguar

Eugh.. jocks, no thanks. No GAA culchie for me. No rugger bugger either.

I likes my musicians and artists. Love men with a bit of rocker to them; piercings, tattoos. Mmmm...

Also, what college are you in???

camel toe, if you have nothing more coherent to add to the discussion I suggest you stay out of it. There will be no further warnings.

Hasn't this been done already?

All girls only seem to go for the GAA jocks and don't quite give much of a chance to the other more intellectual guys.

So GAA lads aren't intelligent at all? Bit of a sweeping generalisation there.

Ya know, someone who can write and sing to you songs about love, lust, philosophy and hate...

There's a lot of "musicians" who overestimate their ability to write and perform.

I've never seen girls only going for GAA jocks(isnt it GAA heads btw?) and I went to a big hurling school *shrug*

Girls doing physiotherapy are always going to be interested in sports and sportsmen. That doesn't mean that all girls have the same tastes.

Besides when these 'jocks' get over their peak and hit their 30's they'll stop being able to play so much regular sport and all that muscle will turn to fat!

If girls went for you you'd have no inspiration for your songwriting.

I assume that comment was said tongue in cheek but incase it wasn't..

You do realise that there isn't some magical button that gets pressed after you turn 30 that you suddenly become incapable of doing sports? Just because you are passed your peak/retire doesn't mean you have to stop doing sports. Some people do of course but a lot of people after doing sports for most of their lives will have it ingrained in them to keep doing it in some shape or form.

To the op. I imagine that it is a phase that a lot(some?) of women go through. The thing you gotta ask yourself is, would you really be compatible anyway since at this point in your lives you have such wildly different interests.

I also gotta say that just cos you play GAA, rugby or football doesn't mean that that is all you think about or that you can't be intelligent.

Maybe those girls don't liking going out with self indulgent new age poets.

She Devil

Ah i don't know, i'd probably tend to go for someone who is outgoing, social and up for a laugh rather than someone who is serious etc...

So i think as a whole those GAA guys are part of a big obvious social group. It really is each to their own at the end of the day.

RxQueen

ive so far manage to stay away form gaa head type boys! and i live in Kilkenny:P !

maybe these girls are attracted to the person OP , and not just beacuse there "Gaa heads" , or is someone looking at to much american tv where all the jocks get the girls?:P

Gauge

Personally I'd rather not date a guy that assumes the women he's been observing within his college represent the female population as a whole... *shrug*

af_thefragile

Hmm...
Well, i guess i did sorta stereotype the gaa heads up there, i know they're not all just training and game.
And i'm not very self indulgent at all... well, okay maybe a little

I wasn't really very serious when i started this thread either.
Just a little observation where the girls always seem to get all drooly over GAA heads.
So wondering if there was more to it or was it just something teenage girls go through...

JC 2K3

As a matter of interest, OP, why are you interested in girls who are interested in GAA heads?

What about the "intellectual" girls?

Do you understand what the word coherent means ?

What camel toe says makes sense and is very clear ( coherent ) .

He is right that it is normal to be attracted to someone who is fit and healthy.

And he is also right that a higher percentage of musicans and people in the entertainment business are gay, than in other walks of life like gaa for example.

camel toe is a serial troll and I was laying down a marker for him that his antics will not be tolerated here. His argument may have been valid, but it was made in about as trollish a manner as he could make it. You, on the other hand, have made the same point clearly and without recourse to abuse, which is fair enough.

I find it shocking that you cant seem to find a girl willing to go out with you.

Since when do girls wear jocks?

Maybe it's only the sporty chicks that wear the GAA Jocks.

Censorsh!t

GAA heads are a big turn off in my opinion. Besides, it's usually the fake tan, abercrombie wearing, ugg boot girls who go for them, so you're not missing out

Rozabeez

I much prefer the intellectual to the sports player, love someone I can have a conversation with.

Well no, he didn't quite phrase it like that. He just wrote "those people are gay". Profoundly intellectual and all as that comment was, it's not the same as what you've said.

Gotta love the good looking intellectual sportsmen
...like Eric Cantona!

wolfpawnat

Ok when I was in secondary school I went out wit a county minor, no word for lie it was hell on earth, not cause I came second to gaa, I respect it was there before me and still is after, but mother of christ, he had a head the size of a hippo because he was the s*#t, more like he was a s*#t! I dont kno if all GAA players are like that but he and his friends (also county minor players) were and I have not seen him recently I hear he still is!
My boyfriend now is a musical person, he plays the acoustic guitar, electrical guitar and the bass guitar, but also he loves and takes part in boxing, and is gym loving. The perfect mix.
I think its more the personality rather than the body its in. I find alot of girls, myself included are not great lovers of depressing music!

Oh god, give me intellectual guys over gaa heads anyday. my worst nightmare would be having to go on a date with a gaa head!!


(however not saying all gaa heads are not intellectual)

Each to their own, some people are attracted to the wrong sort as some see it yet in their own eyes it is the type of person they crave.

Alpha males seem in fairness to get the girls but it is all down to people themselves, one needs to push themselves and make chances for themselves. GAA jocks are confident, appear strong and with a winning mindset so alot of women will chase this type of male.

I love how this thread basically claims that there are only two types of men:

1. GAA heads.

2. Intellectual musos.

I'm neither of these things, am I in a lot of trouble?

Heh lol. It leads to an interesting question though, what do we call the miscellaneous who don't slot neatly into those two categories? And who likes them?

You and me both Julio Weak Newspaperman, looks like we're rightly fcuked. And not in a good way.

This is quite true, its the field they wish to work in after all.

Well just to enlighten you, muscle dont turn into fat, it just loses its tone over time so looks that way;)

On the course i'm doing (Sports Therapy, i am male btw) the females arent all too interested in feeling up the more sporty types like me, its mostly about getting the practice in and look to get a nice job in future:) I'd say those ones on the physio course are just in for a cheap drop of the hand and a bit of a feel, literally taking the "job at hand":P What i would imagine these girls are attracted to though is the fact alot of sportsmen are ambitious, dedicated to something and have courage and heart...typical alpha male qualities. Mainly the same reasons bands get groupies too.

Its like the plot of some awful American "teen comedy" transplanted to a boards.ie thread.

I like sport AND music. "Intellectual" music too. I'm confused. Where do I fit in?

It's Whelans
remove the words "as a minsunderstood musician" and its still about right.
