I used to have a pickup truck.

I don't have a pickup or would ever buy a pickup. I am not a hunter. I just enjoy a nice bloody steak with a glass of cognac and some Wagnerian opera music playing in the background.. makes much more sense now. |

So I look for a vegan, that drinks wild turkey, drives a prius and listens to A Flock of Seagulls.. That is my quandry.. |

I'm not bothered about hobbies & interests.
Besides most couples I know are like chalk and cheese any ways. Personality is the biggest thing for me & someone who can maintain a decent conversation, anything else after that is just minor, suppose I better say looks as well cause there would have to be some sort of physical attraction. A good looking guy will catch the eye, but an even better personality will capture the heart.......But that's just me. |

Yesterday, I went for a drink with my brother and as the evening went on, we started talking about our dating histories. One of the many subjects we chatted about was the importance (or lack thereof) of social/lifestyle compatibility. I’ve always stated as long as I’m compatible on the important issues i.e. values, morals etc with a potential partner and we have some common lifestyle and/or social interests, the rest would fall into place but the more I think about, I wonder whether I’m being naive and wanted to get some feedback. Sing before you ask...by social/lifestyle..I mean having the same hobbies/interests  well it would be nice to find a man not addicted to professional sports. Outside of that I look more at personality compatability than hobbies and interests. But still, it would be nice to have a few things in common |

I learned to drive in a '37 Ford pickup truck...I was the first in my class to get my license and the kids loved riding in it. Would load up the back and away we go.. However, I didn't get to drive to school much, had to walk or ride the bus... |

I'm the type that dates men who like the same type of stuff as myself. Common interests. I want to be able to talk about my hobbies with my potential lover. I know others may not agree with that. And that's okay. Everyone has their preferences.

And that's okay. Everyone has their preferences. I agree with you and maybe personality compatability also means having some common interests...still no matter how many interests I share with a guy if our personality styles and view of world, our humor are not compatible - we won;t last long but yes, I also love to find someone who shares my tastes in music & film, loves cars & computers and wild life |

I would think it would be important to me..the big picture. Same interests? I think having different interests adds, and allows more sharing..but I like to have a nice quality of life. Not financially...but enjoying the beauty of life and going out and having adventures, that kind of quality. That kind of lifestyle match up is important. I can't be with someone that doesn't find joy in things cause there are so many things to find joy from.

Humor is always good. My opinion was along the lines of, if me and him ever ran out of stuff to talk about, really. Nothing worse than a deadly silence and not knowing what to talk about. Pin drop moment. lol |

I like differences but I have to be able to respect him. Meaning his views and way of living have to be non prejudice, liberal leaning, sober for the most part, etc... or I can't respect him.
But for him to have different hobbies would be fun to do with him as long as they are not sport hunting, wilderness survival (due to my health issues), etc... unless he does them alone with the exception of sport hunting, I do not respect/approve of that so couldn't live with or be around someone who did it. |

Sing before you ask...by social/lifestyle..I mean having the same hobbies/interests hard question, most of what I do, unless its mandated like work or housework,,,is done out of 'interest' so, its important to me to share a life with someone who shares those interests already instead of hoping they will 'adapt' to them later music is a huge part of my and my families life, so a love of music would be important, as would a love of God as that is important part of how Im trying to raise my children, an interest in RT interactions taking priority over technology would also be important |
