Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 12, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think I might have a last minute v-day date soon (or one tomorrow night). Pretty Argentinian girl, I live in America. Unfortunately, she’s a huge sports fan and I am not. What should I know about the World Cup Finale or the Super Bowl? I didn’t watch either of them. Aside from who played/won ofc. This is a first date.

None. Actively play up your ignorance in a good natured way, make fun of her for being manlier than you because she loves football.

I've rarely dated a woman who was more into sports than I was, but I've dated several who played more video games than I did. Good natured ribbing about her masculine hobbies, or self deprecating jokes about your own feminine ones (hopefully you present sufficiently masculine to handle that).

Much better than telling her the problem with arsenal is they always try to walk it in.

Though if she seems likely to get it, actually telling her the problem with arsenal seems like a pretty good tactic. :)

the problem with arsenal

is that you can't spell it without "arse"?
