    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?

    If we were, I'd correct your spelling and tell you you spelt "pedantic" wrong. I wont though.

    No, we'd be pedantic. ;)

    EDIT: Sorry, I just spotted that Frada managed to be even more pedantic than me there. :)

    Girls doing physiotherapy are always going to be interested in sports and sportsmen.
    This is quite true, its the field they wish to work in after all.
    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! ;)
    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.

    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...

    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?

    Wheres a GAA head gonna take you, Supermacs?

    Never mind the Hang Sandwiches girls, once you do the post-march Burdocks after a thrilling Dublin soccer derby- you'll never go near the bogball again :pac:

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

    Personally, I don't understand this whole romantic notion of poets and musicians being considered intellectuals. Just because they tend to have their hearts on their sleeves more often doesn't they're more sensitive, they're just conceited imo.

    It is actually proven that musicians generally have a high IQ and are very intelligent...
    But then i don't wanna sound conceited. Its just you need to be quite intellectual to be able to make good music. Good music that can provoke thought and emotions. Not the everyday love songs, but the more deeper stuff. Think David Bowie, think Pink Floyd, think Radiohead.
    I think you'll agree their music is pretty intellectual...
    And i think the word "intellectual" is quite being beaten to death in here!!

    Muscle doesn't lose "tone" if such a made up thing even exists.
