TOP 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO AVOID WHEN YOU ARE DATING A WWE FAN

Increasing numbers of singles are being drawn to the Internet to find a partner. If you love sports, joining a dating site will provide access to a range of prospective partners. After registering, you can check out diverse profiles. You can browse through these, adding ‘likes’ to profiles. You can also send ‘winks’ to alert another site user that they have an admirer. You’ll easily connect with singles from various backgrounds, with more and more WWE fans using this medium. So if you discover your new partner on upforit or any other dating platform who is obsessed with WWE, here are five things you must make sure you avoid. 

Don’t make fun of their fanaticism

Ok, perhaps much of the behavior of WWE fans does leave these guys up for a degree of ridicule. They show devotion to an activity where the overlap between genuine wrestling athleticism and theatrical choreography is often blurred, to say the least. But one thing you should certainly avoid is failing to see the fun and irony in the devotion fans have to WWE contests like world cups or tag team tournaments. Getting immersed in these events, to the extent of designing placards to take inside stadiums, or to holler enthusiastically at the TV, is all part of the escapist thrill. Your best option would be to accept that this is just one, albeit highly colourful, aspect of their personality, a side of them you should learn to live with.

Never patronize

If you get a sense this relationship could be going somewhere, you might be invited to a social gathering as an ‘item.’ Others within your circle might well be aware of your new partner’s intense hobbies. But when you are introducing them, don’t refer to this pastime disparagingly, or raise your eyebrows when describing the lengths to which they’ll go to express their love of their favorite sport. And on that latter point, avoid sneering when they refer to WWE as a ‘sport,’ when as far as you’re concerned, it comes somewhere between pantomime and slapstick. They’ll be deadly serious about their commitment to WWE, and looking down your nose at them, especially doing so in front of others, would be detrimental to your relationship.

Don’t assume you can change their ways

It would be a serious error of judgment to contemplate eventually coaxing your WWE-adoring partner away from their passion, just because you assume there are probably activities more befitting on an adult for them to get involved in. You’ll make so much more of your relationship if you learn to go with the flow. The more you become exposed to WWE bouts, the greater the temptation to get into it all yourself. What’s that adage: ‘if you can’t beat them, join them?!’

Try not to make mistakes when chatting about WWE

Do try and pay some attention to the details when they are waxing lyrical about the WWE performers they favor. There’s so much more to contests than a couple of exotically dressed heavyweights battling it out on canvas. There are storylines to follow, rivalries to pay attention to. If you can reel off the names of prominent wrestlers, this will reveal a level of devotion that will raise you considerably in your partner’s estimation.

Factor major WWE events into your diary.

The final thing to avoid is much more practical. Avoid jotting anything down into your diary, whether that’s a dinner date or a friend’s party, that is going to clash with the WWE competition your other half has been hotly anticipating for some time. Ensure your diaries are synchronized.
