[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of guys don't play sports and are perfectly fine. You don't need to do team sports to be a proper male. [/quote]

Working with a team, sportmanship, learning to be a good winner and loser, physical fitness/being active - are all things that will take you far in life. Male or female.[/quote]

True, but sports is one of many ways to achieve those goals.[/quote]

What are your suggestions for achieving all of those goals?[/quote]

NP. Boy Scouts.[/quote]

Or orchestra, robotics, theater, choir, or other team activities combined board games, and an individual or non competitive physical activity such as swimming, dance, karate, fencing, hiking, running around at the playground, running a dog walking business, etc . . . [/quote]

Orchestra, robotics, theater, choir and board games don't teach sportmanship and are not physical activities. Non competitive activities don't teach sportmanship or learning how to be a gracious winner/loser.

Boy scouts, eh 0- I'll give the pp that one, but this child doesn't seem motivated to be that active and its not like they go on daily hikes for exercise... so[/quote]
