Like moths to a light bulb, women normally throng rugby matches in their hundreds. They go there dressed to kill, sit and drool as the big boys maim each other. But have you ever wondered why rugby is popular among women than basketball or football? Here is why.
Rugby provides women with a greater sensory experience than football. Apparently, the players’ firmness and upper body muscles causes a rush of adrenaline, increases the pace of the heartbeat and dilates their pupils. These experiences make young women hooked to the sport.
Second, rugby is a fast-paced game and in it men usually battle like gladiators, which excites women. According to pundits, when rugby players scrum for the ball, women put themselves in the position of the ball. It is exciting for any woman for two men to fight over her.
Third, women dream of having big and muscular men who can protect them and give them designer babies. Only rugby men come close to this.
Lastly, rugby is played for a shorter period than football, which makes the game ‘punchy’, exciting and adrenaline filled, unlike football, which can go on for two hours, and in the process get boring.
