Below, the helpful tips from the management of [OFFENSIVELY NAMED SPORTS CLUB]:
Joe Bro No. 1 says: “Just be yourself!!! Guys love a down to earth chick that can hang with the boys. Also, if you do not know about sports DO NOT try to fake it and pretend you know about a specific sport. For example, someone scores in football; don’t be the girl that says, ‘That was a great home run!’”
Joe Bro No. 2 says: “Watch SportsCenter, read ESPN.com and download the ESPN app. Knowing the basics to sports is essential. Like any conversation, people click when they have something in common if both can relate to a topic — like football.”
And … “Another quick tip: Pick a favorite team (the local team or a family favorite) and follow it throughout the season. That way you can speak knowledgeably. Knowing key facts about his favorite team, or any team, will definitely get a guy’s attention”Joe Bro No. 3 says: “Don’t be afraid to eat wings. A guy likes a girl who actually eats and can still look great doing it!”
And …“Always be a lady. It is cute when a female rocks the jersey of her favorite team, but it is a turn-off when she is chest-bumping or screaming at the game.”
