Alright I really, really like playing badminton but a friend of mines says it's a girly sport and a guy shouldn't play it. What do you guys think is the most wimpy/girly sport?

your friend is a bimbo (lol) if you really like it you should continue it not because you friend said it was a girly sport, rugby is a guyish sport but you still see girls getting out there and playing it. just my opinion ^^

Haha rugby is sorta a guyish sport but "some" girls try out for it and could probably beat "some" guy teams. Anyways badminton in lots of peoples opinions isn't a girly sport but some people just think differently.

I wouldn't say 'wimpiest' or 'girly' sport.. just one that I'm not fond of is Lawnbowls. .__."
It just looks so boring. O_O But I know some who have felt the same way as me, and they actually tried it, and found it REALLY fun.
So meh. :/

Badminton is alright. I just don't like playing it sometimes.

I think guys who play badminton are hot lmao.

I'm not sure about girly sports... I don't think any of them are "wimpy". o_O

well it is.. kinda
i think netball is wimpy though.

Well it's not girly, but golf certainly isn't MANLY either. When I think of golf I think of vaguely fat middle-aged to old men in funny pants. But uh, that's definitely just me being stereotypical. ^^;
I don't think badminton is girly either. It's kind of hot. But I bet loads of people disagree. X_X Probably more macho guys who disagree, though.

Soccer players are the ultimate.

Badminton is.. usually referred to as a "wimpy" sport.

BUT, it shouldn't matter if you like playing it. i guess.

i personally think badmitton is HOTT lol XD

hmmmm either golf or ping pong haha = wimpy sports lol

I LOVE BADMINTON!!!! It's much more fun to play than tennis, I think.



Anyways, I don't consider golf a sport. It's probably the wimpiest sport to me, haha~

Batmin? wimpy? naww...
boys play batmin at my school, i find it funny, xD
they're like clumsy ><

badminton is fine.

idk, its kind of awkward seeing people get hyped up to play ping pong tho, is it even considered a sport?
i dont see how it takes a lot of skill...maybe hand-eye coordination but uh...

you know why your friend said badminton's a girly sport? because he plays like a girl. OHHHHH seriously he must've never seen an actual badminton match. I'd school him hardcore and ride him like a horse afterwards hahaha! girly sport for me is...skating xD but if guys who skate are pimps xD

^
^ I'm assuming you haven't seen the pros play? Ping pong can get crazy.

uh i think shuffleboard xD

I don't see why people think golf is a wimpy sport. :| Try playing it I think you might change your mind, it's only really boring on TV.

Anyway, Badminton is really fun as long as it's not windy or played indoors. I wouldn't say it's a wimpy sport.

Anyway, for most girly sport.. I don't know, does hopscotch or double dutch jump roping qualify as sports?

Well I personally know that badminton isn't a girly/wimpy sport because I've been on the team for the last 3 years and am probably one of the best on the team. And my friend i a girl btw.....lol. Oh and yea some people are really bad at playing badminon and look really weird.....especially some of the people that had gone to playday last year at my elementary school.....

"Girliest" sport? That's easy, it has to be CURLING. Any sport that combines ice skating and CLEANING (ie sweeping) wins hands down. Yikes, don't flame me

i agree with Johnny lol...and i was gonna say that sport too =p

they're not on ice skates.
p.s. as soon as nike sponsors curling, i'm signing up.

gayest looking sport is BJJ looks like two men having simulated sex full mount ftw! but the wimpiest kind of sport is any sport that isnt a combat sport i am biased...

no offense to golfers but i think it is golf. it makes alot of mind power but i think once u get your swing form down that is can be pretty easy.

BJJ gay? Look, I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but just the other day in BJJ class I was talking to some guy about whether BJJ was gay or not while we were in the north/south position. I looked over at him, he looked over at me, and then we both blushed a little and had a good laugh. It was absolutely clear from our perspectives that BJJ is NOT GAY. If you can't see that, you need to watch some more BJJ or roll a bit yourself son



Really? Golf is one of the most technically difficult sports I have ever played. The basics are easy to grasp but there are so many complexities to every swing it's damn near impossible to master. There's a reason lots of former athletes, not just pure golfers, play for 30+ years and have trouble making 72 (par) on the harder courses.

figure skating. guys in sparkly purple lycra costumes = no. haha =P

i dont think golfs wimpy.. i play golf quite a lot and theres a lot of hot/cuteish guys at the club =D hhahahah

curling


they should be working for a patbingsoo company

Badminton if played the right way and not with those uncoordinated
swings and footwork can make you loose all those fat you've been dying to
get rid off.
Your friend probably doesn't know how to play badminton right.
I find it so funny when people just randomnly swing their racket
and hit the shuttle cock and think they're so good.
---
I'm not into sports much so Idk.
I've yet to see a girly sport.
Everyone here in my country take sports seriously.

No way D;!
I go to a sports school, and netball is one of the roughest sports I've seen. I reckon it's even more rough than bball. Freaking, the girls get so competitive in netball.. it's scary. ._.
LOL @ CURLING.

lol roll, your silly arm bars and go go plata's dont scare me BJJ man sir, i am a fearless judoka fear my tachi waza!

btw sorry for teh spam.

AHAHAHA niiiccce. And yeah it is funny to watch people who don't know how to play badminton play.

Badminton a girly sport ?? :blink:
well .. i play badminton since almost 9 years now, It's a very quick sport, you need to be very fit and have power. The fastest smash in the world was made by Fu Haifeng at 336 km/h <<< is that really a girly sport ? your friend should see a professional match, i can promise that he won't say that again ! hahaha
But i got used to it, here in france it's referred as the sport to play on sunday with your whole family, not taken seriously, although in asia, it's a very famous sport and everybody knows how hard it is to play badminton ..
It makes me sad to see that Badminton is not taken for what it really is :tears: :tears:

Poker.

Anyone who says badminton is a wussy sport automatically leads me to the conclusion that they suck hard at the sport and fail at life. If you fit this profile, please resign from life immediately.

at my school badminton is considered a girl sport... fall sport "Girls badminton"
lol...
imo... the girliest sport is... synchronized swimming? XD
i know its hard... but mostly girls do it right?

I think there has to be a distinction between wimpy and girly sports.

There's tons of sports that are not physically demanding that cater to both genders (lawn bowling, darts, etc) and there's some really girly sports that are super tough (synchronized swimming, as mentioned above).

competitive WALKING races

Curling.
Dude seriously what the heck.

I'm sure others disagree but yeah.
No offense intended. Just my own personal opinion.

Really? I think Curling is tight ... Or maybe I'm just intrigued by them yelling "HARDER HARDER" or "FASTER FASTER" or "SWEEP SWEEP" xD

I would say synchronized swimming as the least manly sport ... I mean, you gotta have good lungs, but it just ain't manly ... haha

Figure skating. ^^

No doubt. xD

definitely non-stunting cheerleading. it sucks ass

Hey! Girls are hella awesome at sports too! I'm always being told to "Hit it like a woman!" when I'm encouraged to do it better.
I did varsity badminton in high school, and the balls go freakin' fast! Definitely not the lame New Years Eve badminton.

The lamest sport is probably car racing. I love to race (I hope there aren't cops here reading this hahaha), but it's not really a sport. You can't work out...unless you almost crash, and then-well-you certainly get your heart racing! Hahaha.
Poker! It's so not a sport! Unless you're close to loosing a ton of money, and then...you certainly get your heart racing.
Golf wth? So not a work out, especially w/golf carts.

If any "athlete" told me that she/he did those "sports", I'd not consider that person an athlete at all.


Hmmm, if you guys think Synchronized swimming and Figure Skating are wimpy, then American Football is definitely a wimpy lame-a sport. 'Cause if fat guys can play it, it's not a sport.

table tennis @_@
i.. omg! hate it hate it !

probably cos i suck at it too HAHAHA

I'm sure badminton at a professional level looks very powerful. But every time I see amateurs playing...

uhm volleyball.
haha. idk but nowadays, i only see girls play it.

guys at my school play netball..LOL

I play badminton XD ... I don't absolutely love it. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass, literally. Well practice at our school is hectic, and by the end of the season, it's almost close to military training. But being a whimpy sport, is far from it once you've actually did some serious stuff with it.

golf is a wimpy sport..name one tough golfer lol


if john daly is considered an athelete, then u got problems.
