 on a different note, my dad has never really been a sportsy guy, i don't think he's ever played a sport? and one of my sisters got him into watching football. it's still not really his scene too much, i think he does it to bond with her. I LIKE unsportsy guys, and I don't know if that's just cause I'm also unathletic, liked the cartoons and videogames myself for..well still do! and i know a lot of girls are into the athletic build or mentality but that is DEFINITELY not my qualities i look in a man. I look for kindness, a great sense of humor, and passion in SOMETHING; do you like drawing? photography? acting? Maybe you can find a hobby that you think you'll find rewarding that the masculinity issue will fall to the wayside because your confidence will go up and that's usually when the ladies notice you..

Good Luck, unless you really like football dont join it because it is a crap load of work (my brother Fynn played football for years and he was aching all over) and if its not fun you'll just get up set
