"There are some questions about men that only a guy can answer. We asked the dudes at guyspeak.com (read more about them here), for their take on this dating conundrum: Q: The Super Bowl&amp;#x27;s coming up and I&amp;#x27;m attending my friend&amp;#x27;s party; I know nothing about the sport, but I&amp;#x27;d hate to decline. What is proper sport watching etiquette when you&amp;#x27;re with a bunch of guys? I want to learn, but not be annoying. Super Bowl etiquette follows the same protocol as a party for the Season Finale of the Bachelor, or an Oscar party. You should wear a tuxedo, take your shoes off upon entrance and always be mindful that the main attraction is the broadcast: not you. That means curtail the constant chatting, make sure conversations you start are pertinent and above all make sure your perm is never blocking the TV screen. Your lack of knowledge about football can actually work wonders for you. Guys like &amp;quot;showing you the ropes.&amp;quot; It&amp;#x27;s the type of verbal foreplay that makes men feel manly and also helps perpetuate age-old sexism and gender stereotypes. As you can see: a win-win. Having said that, there is a basic understanding of the game that you should have before you set foot into the party. No one is expecting you to be Mike Ditka. For one your mustache isn&amp;#x27;t grey, but don&amp;#x27;t be the dingdong dressed in a NY Knicks Jersey asking: What inning of the football program are we currently watching? The objective of American football or Gridiron is as follows: &amp;quot;To score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team&amp;#x27;s end zone. The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent&amp;#x27;s goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line, kicking the ball through the opponent&amp;#x27;s goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone.&amp;quot; Specifically, this Super Bowl is a match up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. If you are going there primarily to flirt, try to find out what team your man is rooting for and wear that team&amp;#x27;s colors. Do a little research on key players, the quarterback, wide receiver, head coach etc. Slip your knowledge into casual conversation: Tim, can I trouble you to get off your ass and Read Shovel Pass me a carrot? Lastly, before leaving for the night, it is typical to violently tackle your host to the ground and do a touch down dance on his chest while screaming: &amp;quot;That&amp;#x27;s what&amp;#x27;s up, B*tch. That&amp;#x27;s how it&amp;#x27;s done, Son.&amp;quot; Have fun and win one for the Gipper. --Written by Amit Wehle for guyspeak.com Are you going to a Super Bowl party?
