Guys, help a brother out.
I can't get my girlfriend to appreciate mma/ UFC. We order ppv's, we watch TUF, sometimes (yuck) we even watch... Tapout. She sorta seems to like the whole "reality tv" aspect of TUF and Tapout, but when it comes down to the UFC ppv's... she's falling asleep, reading a book, giving me that "oh you're so taking me shopping after THIS GRAND WASTE OF TIME" look.
I try to explain how it's basically physical chess. How each move is a dance of balance and timing and strategy. How these fighters bring not just talent but personality into the competition, for crying out loud!
To no avail.
So, to everyone out there with girlfriends, wives, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers who watch mma... what on God's green earth initially intrigued them and finally turned them into fans?
I know the reality is that she may never come around to our way of thinking... but hell, maybe someone out there has a better approach.
Thank God she at least likes football.
