Rugby gals, what do you make of me (I was seduced)?

Question

Read my rugby story! I'll try not to make it boring.

I, a 5'4" 110lb puny little freshman l***o at university, was seduced into joining rugby. I'm sure she didn't mean to, but the adorable ginger soft butch girl guarding the rugby display put me in some kind of l***o trance and I stumbled up to the table.

"Wanna play rugby?" (cute tomboyish grin) She might have asked anything, wouldn't have made a difference. You should have seen the way she smiled at me after I signed the papers!

Oh lawd.

So I said "what the h**l" and went to the first practice. I don't have any direction in life right now so I find myself in strange new places quite often, anyway.

By strange, I mean, strange for me. I am very puny and have little athletic background compared to my teammates. I don't have those big L*****n calf muscles. Yet.

I believe in myself, but I realize I'm the team wannabe-dork at this point.

So finally, here's my question! Am I just being pathetically desperate?

Answer 1

the whole point of rugby is to have fun and enjoy yourself if you are not having fun you might as well not be there. When i started rugby i was 8 years old and i have always felt like i belonged if you don't feel that you might as well leave if you are uncomfortable with your figure in sport even now i don't look like a bodybuilder but you just enjoy yourself and don't worry what everyone else thinks its your life. your not a wannabe be everyone i aloud to have fun and a laugh and sport is a great way to do it rugby was made for all types fast wings strong solid forwards and everyone inbewteen i have a small kid on my team he is always hammered but he has a laugh and takes it and wants more size and shape don't matter its if you feel comfortable with with yourself out there!

Answer 2

I agree with s****..  You have to play for the love of the game.  Also, you are very small for Rugby and that may be dangerous for you.  It sounds like this is more an attraction to the recruiter than any interest in Rugby.  Pursue the girl , not the game.

Answer 3

Life sometimes takes you on a journey of unknown destinations, what may have seemed outragous months ago can easily be a reality.

Most people are curious at what something strange might bring and so with you it is no different. Go with the flow, play safe (on & off the field) and try to relax, there are no right or wrong answers so don't worry.

No you are not desparate or a Dork or a wannabe.

Good luck

PS I played rugby over here in UK for 20 years never ever lost my temper on the field but played hard against opponents who were sometimes bigger, size doesn't matter.

Enjoy the laughs and the good times will roll

Yeah I like cute ginger girls too but in a Guy sort of way :-)))

Answer 4

We had a g*y bloke in our rugby club for a while. No one cared. Its about being part of the team and nothing else. Everybody has to start someware with rugby and most players are happy to introduce new people to the sport.

Just make sure you are doing it for the right reason, your love of the game.

Answer 5

Girls play rugby?

Answer 6

ive been playing rugby on womens teams for 15 years... im straight ... if i were on your team, i would really just want you to be dedicated to playing... any body type can play rugby.. it takes time to learn so be patient.  but just be dedicated and give it an honest shot and your team mates will appreciate your effort and see that- no matter what your skills are.  no one can expect a new player to be a star... ive been playn for forever and im still learning new stuff.  the more you play, the better you'll get!  dont play rugby just for the girl... play it for yourself!  its a great sport and you'll make life long friends playing.  

one of the difficulties female rugby teams have is that soemtimes the team ends up becoming a L*****n dating club- and when theres a break up- you end up losing at least one of the players... it sucks... i prefer that my teammates dont date each other- it makes things awkward when it comes to running a club- if any of a dating couple hold executive board positions/ or make decisions about who plays and it can start cliques.  i have one girl on my team that wont allow her ex girlfirend to play now and is dating a new girl who originally was interested in playing... and now she wont let the new girlfriend play either.  that makes 2 people that cant play and we really need players!!!  i realize that rugby is a wonderfully free society where lesbain couples are welcome and it may be the only place in their lives where they are freely accepted as a couple, but its alos important to keep the drama off the field.  ive seen teams nearly fall apart becuse of one relationship gone bad.

Answer 7

lol who cares why you joined  guys play rugby to get chicks too.   rugby is great and  you get to drink up and  run around naked half the time!    cant beat that

played rugby in college

Answer 8

i am the general manager of a womens rugby team. we are a social team and enjoy the company we keep as much as the game. my girlfriend( i'm male) plays rugby and i find it very attractive that she and the other women on the team are athletic.

we have a few lesbians on the club, some who are out and some who are not, and we have no bones with any of them. there are many different reasons why one starts playing rugby and i can't say which is valid and which not. the only thing that counts is that you play and continue to enjoy playing as it is the sport of kings and naves alike.

also there are g*y only(seattle quake) rugby teams and i suspect that there are also d**e only rugby teams as well.

play rugby to play rugby and the rest will resolve itself

Answer 9

Just enjoy the game. Strange new places are the stuff life is made of.

I'm sorry you are so concerned what others think of you.  Nobody - and I mean NOBODY is out of your league. You can look anyone in the eye - because you have as much right to your space on this earth as they do theirs. Until you can accept this truth, at least take strength in knowing that others do so on your behalf!

Answer 10

I think you should stick the PC. You are gonna get hurt.

Answer 11

Meeeegan, remember our earlier "discussions"?

With a post like this question, (and your response also), I rest my case ;-)

Answer 12

it will be fun.  great chance to meet people.  enjoy, and stop 2nd guessing yourself.
