It is what it is...

Nothing annoys me more than a man assuming I am putting on airs to impress him. I love football, have since I was 11 or 12. Without fail if I am having a conversation about football some guy is going to assume I watch to see men in tight pants, or I watch to seem more dateable, or I watch to see men in top physical condition (in a sexual way). I used to argue the point and try to explain that I like the speed, a man passing someone like he is standing still. I like the physical aggression, I have always envied that about men the ability to just physically over power someone. I like football, plain and simple whether or not some guy is impressed. Now that I am 36 years old it is not just annoying for a man to assume I am tailoring my interests, opinions, and conversations around him it is downright insulting. I guess it is just one of the many traits of the arrogant male. And I do appreciate and understand that since the man is typically the one to pursue so by definiton the one with the most risk of rejection it is necessary to be a bit arrogant. But fellas, please get a grip will ya? I am not going to be an atheist just because you are, I am not going to love metal just because you do, I am not watching Agassi say fairwell after watching ESPN because you will be impressed. Trust me on this, I can find a suitable penis (forgive me a man;) Without resorting to putting on airs...
