My GF of five years and I recently broke up. It's sad but things had just run their course.

That being said . . .

After the transitional period and if I ever go back on a dating site, my requirements are going to be:

"Must love The Giants, The Mets and drinking . . . or at least be a fan of SOME football and baseball team."

So, sports HAVE changed the way I look at women. It's MUCH easier if your woman is a die-hard sports fan!

Billie Jean King sure as hell did

I was a kid when she beat Bobby Riggs. Billie Jean inspired me to believe that I could do anything I wanted to and could be just as good at if not better than most men at what I did.

It was a time when many career tracks, including management jobs, were considered off-limits to women, when women could not anchor the evening news. Some of the Ivy League universities were not yet open to women. By the time I attended one, they all were.

Billie Jean did a ton for women in sports, including demand pay equity in Tennis, but she did a ton for women everywhere.

I should have been clearer, I meant have sports affected how you OBJECTIFY women.
If you mean  
EricNY33 : 4/15/2015 3:19 pm : link
did it change what I look for in a woman I would say no. I would like it if they enjoyed the same sports I do but it's not a complete deal breaker. I mean there are always times you want to go out with the guys and if it's sports related it's better that she doesn't like them so she doesn't even WANT to go and actually prefers you go without her. That being said it's also cool if she won't give you shit for sitting on the couch watching a game because she's into it too.

I've been pretty consistently good at objectifying women for a long time. I don't need sports for that.

If anything, major sports help us objectify men (Draft anyone?)

Haha, I don't think so.

Sports have helped women get a lot better at objectifying men though.
I've always thought women were awesome

if she's a die-hard golf fan, she'll really appreciate being "more than just a hole" to you.
Yes

Ever since I saw Andre Smith run the 40 on NFL Network six years ago, I'm still trying to figure out the double standard on boobs.
It's okay to objectify men, silly.

Pretty sure that some BBI'er will carve that into Ralph's tombstone.
arm length?  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/15/2015 3:47 pm : link
care to explain that one chris?

Volleyball is fun to watch. But I don't think its changed the way I objectify women. I check women out in sports the same way I check them out in everyday life.

But on the flipside, I objectify male athletes whereas I don't even think about objectifying males in everyday life.

I mean that's literally what the draft combine is all about. Uncomfortably watching Andrus Peat run and looking at his bouncing tits and weird ass body. Noticing which prospects have "sand in their pants" aka ass.

Be careful there Ralphie boy, you could wind up with a Cowboy or Iggles fan. I couldn't deal with that.

question for chris r  
Les in TO : 4/15/2015 4:33 pm : link
how has watching sports made you evaluate a woman's arm length more carefully?

personally, arm length would not be in my top ten physical traits i would look for, set aside mental/emotional/background traits.

It means she loves greatness but also has a thing for sadistic pain. He should be easy of leather masks whips and nipple clamps

well that clears up my life
I very much remember watching Billie Jean (Moffitt) King play  
Marty in Albany : 4/15/2015 6:51 pm : link
on the field courts at the West Side Tennis Club (Forest Hills) with my nose up against the fence.

She sweated just as much as the male players--all the women did. That was when I decided that I liked sweaty women.

Hmm. I wonder how that would go over at Planet Fitness? A shirt that says, "I like sweaty women."
I always liked short, sit, and spin women.

Watching some of the tall good looking babes in sports changed my mind about that.
