Sport until you drop....

The graphic above shows the percentage of men and women who like sports and shopping. From the chart, we can see that it's about as difficult to find a guy that doesn't like sports as it is to find a gal that doesn't like shopping! They do exist, but they are a rare breed indeed. I suspect that it is as difficult for shopping women to bond with the non-shopping minority as it is for the sporty blokes to bond with their non-sporty counterparts. For guys, that just about leaves women as a main topic of conversation, so if you meet a non-sporty priest at a do, you could be stuck for something to talk about!

Your average woman only gets interested in sport when the local/national team are playing a big game or there's a chance of meeting a strapping guy at the aprés match celebrations (rugger hugger, anyone?!). On the other hand, some guys take it all a bit too seriously, following their team around the country/world and forgetting to get a life.

Shopping for most blokes is like a strike team mission. You know what you want, you go to the shop, buy it (try it on, only if you must) and go home. A quick in and out with no messing! Women, however, take the "George Bush in Iraq" approach to shopping, occupying the shops for what seems like an eternity and never seemingly able to leave!
