Role Models

How many men around the world grew up watching baseball? I always thought a ballplayer was a nice role model for a kid, someone who practiced for hours, got beat up in the process and made a (very lucrative) career of his lifelong dream.

But have you actually watched the players? Do they NOT realize they are being filmed, like constantly? The guys chew sunflower seeds and spit all over the floor any time they want. They also adjust (and scratch-gross!) their junk. They pat each other on the asses, and their uniforms get filthy.

The ironic thing is, MOST baseball players have a ton of female crushes. A-Rod, Jeter, etc. can get pretty much any woman in the world, and they are envied for this fact. They can have publicized affairs, and women would still want to date them. Even the very ugly ones.

Is it any wonder there are so many men out there who are disillusioned? Men who think they are good looking even though they look as good as a dirty coffee cup? Men who urinate on the street like animals and think they are classy? Men who have girlfriends and tell you they are single? Ugly men who lust after beautiful women and turn down nice sweet ones? Men who cheat on faithful, pretty women because they "can"?

Ladies, if you are having bad luck with men, try finding one who isn't into sports. Luckily, my hub loves sports but is also smart enough not to be influenced by celebrity role models.
