Why do women prefer watching rugby?

Question

rather than football? why is this? i dont watch either by the way.

Answer 1

I agree with sirdunny, as well as that i think rugby is overall a better game!

... It's way more interesting, whereas football actually bores me to death. It's just one of those games you really get into! There's always something going on.

The players are much better looking, maybe not all of them, but most.

All hail rugby! lol

Answer 2

More meat on the men i suppose..and hunkier :)

Answer 3

Easy!  It's because of the Perve Factor.  Rugby provides a greater sensory experience for women than football.  Rugby men look like men, act like men & have the firmness & upper body muscular definition of men!  This causes a rush of adrenaline, increases our heart rate, dilates our pupils and makes our stomachs flip. We become slaves to the sport.  

Footballers, on the other hand, are less generous in their musculature and thus resemble pre-pubescent boys.  These players typically lack broad shoulders compared to rugby men, sport longer 'metro' hairstyles & whinge 1,000 times more per game (official lie). Real women soon tire of this sort of showponyism and flick the remote back to the rugby.  

A useful litmus test is to view photos of Kiwi rugby God Daniel Carter followed by some of soccer superstar David Beckham.  Which one tickles your fancy?

Answer 4

All of the above....

the men are more like warriors in rugby than in football and i guess its kind of a throwback ie who shall i have my babies with? the guy who is strong and powerful or the guy who is going to dive when it gets too much!

and yes of course all those big strong tanned thighs all wrapped around each other during a tackle... looks almost orgy like..... fantastic!

Answer 5

I'm a fan of both sports. There are a whole host of female football fans in the football section of YA.

I think both sports are extremely exciting to watch.

Answer 6

because they like their men to be fat and ugly with cauliflower ears and tree trunk thighs.

Answer 7

the hunky players

Answer 8

Rugby is a sport where men battle like running gladiators which has fantasy connotations for a woman.

If you are talking about soccer when you say football then the gladiator element is not present, soccer being a game of more finesse.

The same applies to the reasons why I like to watch womens netball, beach volleyball, or hockey.

Well built healthy young athletic women charging around with large amounts of visible skin kind of appeal to me for similar but converse reasons.

Answer 9

I'm not a fan of either, but I'd rather watch football because I actually understand it.

Answer 10

probably because they want men to behave like men, whereas footballers behave like a bunch of prima donnas and big girls.

Answer 11

It's the thighs! But seriously, I think that it's because it's a fast paced exciting game unlike soccer which can be slow and boring. there's always something happening in a rugby match.

Answer 12

I don't!! I think football and rugby are both boring!!

Answer 13

Because the players don't spend all the time spitting?

Answer 14

What a load of bollocks!!!!! Both sports are exciting to watch when played well. Got nothing to do with bodies!!! If bodies were a factor AFL or Aussie Rules Football would be the biggest sport in the world.

Answer 15

im at the opposite. i love football than rugby.

Answer 16

i think rugby is much more of an exciting game as its a contact sport. whereas footballers just run around the pitch after a little ball and act like big headed (and over paid) idiots!
