Do women date AFL footballers because of their hero status ?

Question

Some players are not exactly eye candy, but they appear to get the pick of-the-crop.

what do others think ?

Answer 1

So they can get free drugs.  Hang out with Ben Cousins and Andrew Johns.  That will do it

Answer 2

I think some girls will but its whats inside that counts, even if there not good looking.

Answer 3

id say there are those types of women out there but i bet they don't last long as players girlfriends,then take a look at some of the senior players who are married with kids etc -at some stage those women were girlfriends but obviously not in it for the attention or fame,they seem like normal wives/mothers who's husband happens to play footy.

Answer 4

Because they are young fit healthy MEN!

That's the only reason I need!

Answer 5

It's because they are rich and   strong so they can     protect the women

Answer 6

Amazing who comes to mind when not fitting into the handsome stud category.

Damien Peverell,Cameron Ling,Scott West,

Barry Hall. to name a few.I suppose they were picked for football skills, and certainly scare the S##t out of an opponent with their stare.No doubt these players would have glamorous females staring into their ugly faces, or should I say wallet

Answer 7

They date them to further their own modelling careers or to get a TV gig, as soon as they do the boy is then dumped.

Answer 8

Some women thrive on the attention they get from dating 'celebrity' footballers.  The lure of the media, photos, etc blinds them from the fact that the AFL player they are dating arent exactly that great looking.

Sounds very shallow but I guess the footballer might have a great personalty?? LOL

Answer 9

Maybe.

But what happens at Collingwood? None of their players could be regarded as heros.

Answer 10

It must be true.

Rocca can even get a girlfriend!
