I’m a rugby dude but I’m not a hot headed, brutal or savage person. I also don’t get drunk every time I play and fight people in pubs with my mates or act idiotic or loud. (though it’s kind of what I lived during my teenage years, but I’m wiser now) The whole «*hard game hard men*» kind of bs.
I sometimes came across people who thought I was just that when I told them. Not that it hurts but it’s still annoying. It’s even better when I tell them I married a man
which completely messes up with their stereotypes or what a rugby lad should be.
