The correct answer to both is: Who gives a fvck?
that analogy is so off.

What do you think of a girl who isn't as into hygiene as other girls, in other words slobs like most guys?

I would not like that IMHO, but a sporty girl would be cool.
most guys are slobs? i don't see that.

Really? Most of my guy friends were not as into cleanliness until after dating. The girls really fixed some of them up.

hygiene/manners might be a better estimation, but I have lived down South for a long time, so I might be thinking old-school.

I basically watch UEFA champions League , some clips of Formula 1 races and I might go to the park maybe up till 10 times a year to kick the soccer ball around with my buddies, but in general I find myself loosing intrest in sports day after day it's natural, the same way I am loosing my intrset in gaming, after being a hardcore PC gamer for years.

How is it off?

Soap Operas (and shows like The OC) = drama that women tend to like
Sports (and WWE) = drama that men tend to like

I've always thought of football players as kind of gay... after all, who else would be into a sport that involves big, grunting, sweating men grinding and piling on top of each other?
seriously. no.
football players are about as "un-gay" as they come.

When I was in college there was a closet case football player who used to live down the hall from me in my dorm. One of those "bear" type gay guys, they're kind of like their own subgroup in the gay community. I bet plenty of them play(ed) football. As it turned out he flunked out before too many people found out he was gay, and even those who did know didn't care too much because it was a really liberal school.

Personally I like sports but in moderation... I don't bet on them, I have one fantasy baseball team that I tend to neglect, I'll take a free/cheap ticket to a local game when somebody needs to "dump" one but would never consider buying season tickets. My girlfriend is kind of athletic and goes skiing and bicycling with me but hates all forms of spectator sports, to the point where she leaves the room if I have them on the TV.

Guys I know who aren't into sports are usually really "into" something else... be it working on cars, computer gaming, playing guitar, etc. As long as he has some sort of healthy interest I don't see that a specific interest in sports is that important... you just need to make sure that you're not dating a dullard.

I get bored to tears watching sports or even talking about sports or even going to sports bars but I played soccer and tennis competitively during junio hs, high school and college and find those sports sometimes entertaining to watch. Baseball, basketball, football and often hockey are IMHO the most boring sports you could possibly watch.

otherwise, I don't like guys who don't like sports...I now if a guy doesn't like sports (playing or following) then we wont get along.

THere are just some things that playing and following sports fosters...very big things...

Beer bellies? Riots? Alcoholism?

Seriously, I don't see how manhood is some how directly linked with your ability to spend 3 hours on the weekend watching other people do athletic things while you drink beer and eat nachos. There's nothing wrong with liking sports, sh|t I like football myself, but don't act like you're some special hero because can successfully sit on the couch and order espn. No one cares, and you're not better then anyone else. Its just another stupid hobby, its not like you're curing cancer by memorizing stats or screaming at the TV.

I'm not really into sports, but I fake being into them because people here in Ohio are obsessed with sports, and it takes up a good chunk of day-to-day conversation.

I like to lift weights and run, but no team sports (or games like tennis) have ever interested me.

I come from a long line of guys who are apathetic about sports, but I have uncles on my Mom's side of the family who can't get enough of them.

im not into watching sports at all, ever. i watch the commercials on the superbowl, and snack and do whatever during gametime.

used to love playing soccer and basketball, havent in some time though.

What I find interesting is the paradox between all the positive qualities that playing sports are supposed to bring out in people like character, "team player skills", discipline, etc., whereas in the real world we're confronted with evidence each day of boorish, despicable, self-centered behavior on the part of professional, college, and even high school atheletes. The boosters of sports never seem to address the latter.
