Rugby Respect Quotes

More than six thousand people reported which sporting activities would make a member of the opposite sex more attractive. Results revealed that 57 percent of women found climbing attractive, making it the sexiest sport from a female perspective. This was closely followed by extreme sports (56 percent), soccer (52 percent), and hiking (51 percent). At the bottom of the list came aerobics and golf, with just 9 percent and 13 percent of the vote, respectively. In contrast, men were most attracted to women who did aerobics (70 percent), followed by those who took yoga (65 percent), and those who went to the gym (64 percent). At the bottom of their list came golf (18 percent), rugby (6 percent), and bodybuilding (5 percent). Women’s choices appeared to reflect the type of psychological qualities that they find attractive, such as bravery and a willingness to take on challenges, while men appeared to be looking for a woman who was physically fit without appearing muscle-bound. No one, it seemed, was attracted to golfers.

Caretaking in a relationship is not flowers or date night—necessary as these are, they are the equivalent of a new color painted on your walls. Delightful, but not structural. Structural is unloading the dishwasher when it’s your partner’s turn, or making sure whoever gets home last from work is greeted with dinner. It’s learning about mushroom hunting or musical theater or rugby because your spouse loves it. It is talking about the best of your partner in public, not the worst. It’s listening to stories we have heard a hundred times before as if they are new. Often, it is just listening, period. My father always washed the car by hand before he took my mother out on a date, even after they were married. He would say he wanted it clean “for his girl.” That is the part she remembered, not where they went or what they did. As psychologist John Gottman, who has studied countless married couples, will tell you, it is the presence of respect and an abiding willingness to support each other, more than romance, that indicates whether a marriage will last. Couples that exhibit these qualities tend to stay together, creating the marital equivalent of firmitas.

values can be circumvented more easily when the payoff is alluring enough through the creation of an emotional state that is more powerful than the value. Perhaps the most vivid example of this dynamic involves stranded survivors of disasters such as the Uruguayan rugby players who survived a plane crash in the Andes and then decided to eat the flesh of their deceased friends to remain alive.

- Excuse-moi de ne pas apprécier un sport où les joueurs passent leur temps à se cogner dessus ! Cette fois-ci, il ne rit pas et se rapprocha d'elle, la dominant de sa haute taille. - Le rugby ce n'est pas ça. Ce n'est pas une bande de gros bras qui se foncent dessus sans réfléchir. Le rugby, c'est une mentalité. C'est tout donner pour son équipe, encaisser les coups pour aider les copains à marquer, jouer pour les autres, avant de jouer pour soi-même. C'est le respect du jeu, de ses règles complexes, de l'arbitre, de l'adversaire. C'est tout donner pour les autres, sur le pré et en dehors. Le rugby, ce n'est pas juste une équipe de joueurs, c'est une famille, un clan une tribu. Il n'y a pas que les joueurs, il y a la famille, les amis, les supporters. On ne gagne pas un match pour nous, mais pour tout le monde. Si tu ne comprends pas ça, inutile d'apprendre les règles, tu ne comprendras jamais rien au jeu.
