Aw, poor Carrie Underwood. Ha ha. That's ok, I'm sure she has plenty of fans.
Oh man, that whole distracting men thing... is so much bullshit. Come to think of it, it is kind of out there as a romantic ideal; never occurred to me before. It's very teen-angsty, you know. If it were me, I would be like, "get your mind on the FUCKING GAME" - and that doesn't just apply to football. I'm seriously allergic to loser slacker boys that don't work hard and at least try to be competent. Allergic. And to ones who aren't passionate enough about what they're doing with their life that they'd rather just get laid.
On a related note, Andre Agassi totally fell apart when he was married to Brooke Shields. Could not play worth a damn. Of course, he was a rebel without a cause back then, who refused to play in Wimbledon "on principle" because you have to wear white in that tournament. Then they divorced, he achieved some kind of spiritual center or something, decided to just suck it up and wear white to Wimbledon, and won the whole thing on his first try (and he was like "goddamnit all those years I boycotted Wimbledon WHY DID I DO THAT"). And when he married Steffi Graf his tennis actually got better, considering his age. I think that's how good relationships should be, the relationship helps each person's individual goals/passions. This is not to be taken as the same as marrying someone who can get you a good job or country club card or something, I mean... well, hopefully you know what I mean.
Although that sort of reminds me of my mom trying to get my dad to hang out with her instead of doing his Ph.D. work when they were dating. Apparently he was like, "no, I have to study!!!" so I don't think my mom was successful.
Because women think distracting men is the way you prove your worth or because you think those uniforms are cute?
