Guys would you date a woman who loves the arts?

[silvermoon84]

Would you? I’ve been passionate about them since I was a teenager. I was in drama club, majored in singing, took classes in ceramics and visual art in high school and college and at one time dreamed of becoming an actress. I’m no longer interested in acting as much, but I still sing in my church choir, still love musicals and love to go to see live productions at local theaters once in a while, but once men hear this they tend to get quiet on me, even if I enjoy hearing about and engaging them about their interests. Can a girl’s interests and hobbies really be a dealbreaker? Or is it possible that these men thought we would be incompatible because of having different interests? I know for me it’s not really a dealbreaker if he doesn’t share my interests but what about for the guys?

[Miristheiss]

It depends on what that means.

You like to sing in choir and attend "the arts" shows and concerts? If that is about all that entails I see no reason to have any conflict over that. Sounds fine.

You say you no longer act... as in you used to be into that. What did that entail? What did you do? Plays, commercials? What exactly? How often, what did the roles you performed do? Give an overview of all the stuff you did as an actress?

Any chance you'll get the bug again and start it up again? Some unexpected opportunity comes your way?

Nudity on stage or on film... kissing other actors, sex scenes... any of that from someone I'm romantically involved with is a 100% deal breaker. I consider it cheating... it being a "job" is irrelevant to me. Even if you used to do it but no more... I'd no longer respect your character and wouldn't date anymore.

I guess it all depends. You just saying you like to attend shows and orchestra and sing in a choir is no issue at all.

[silvermoon84]

No commercials or anything like that. Mostly just acting in school plays and local regional theaters, and I would never have done nudity even if it had been offered to me.

[Jjpayne]

I would, I just could not have that be the only thing our relationship has. We would need things we both equally love while we are supportive and share in each others hobbies

[Jjpayne]

*hobbies and interests

[Jjpayne]

Thank you for the mho! :)

I fell in love and married just such a woman! Would still be married to her today had she not passed away. :(

Not sharing common interests isn't a deal breaker. Though my wife and I did have many common interests (music, the life of the mind, education, etc.), we had some interests we didn't share. She didn't travel well at all (though she would have liked to). She got seasick just looking at a boat, and didn't like long road trips. Camping to her was staying in a hotel without room service. She couldn't fly unless she was drugged up and there were loved ones at the other end.

I love to camp. I love to hike. I love to sail. I love to fly.

And I loved her beyond measure, in spite of her being unable to participate in those things with me.

Me I would love and fancy dating a girl whom we seem to have a few common interests. So if I love sports ahead should at least hv a certain sport she envied a lot even if it is one.
Since a girl who we share common interests with, then there we will be engaging in a lot of open lovely interesting chats.
Bt from my own point of vies I do like you hobbies or rather interests I see no glitch about them, bt I think what pushes the guys away from ya is "once you mention that your a church lady, then that pushe's them away. Thinking you are always about the church.

[ShortCircuit]

Of course. That wouldn't bother me. I'll be doing visual art professionally, myself, although I'm not all that interested in drama or music. I wouldn't date an actress though. Wouldn't be cool with her kissing other actors or shooting nude/suggestive scenes, which is pretty much unavoidable in the industry. I wouldn't care if it was "just acting". But just being into drama as a hobby? Perfectly fine. I may not be particularly interested in that specifically, but I'd still indulge her.

I have briefly...
I've never met a girl who claimed to love the arts, or WAS an artist of some sort, who had the same views as the blue collar workers of america... generally it seems artists have a different sort of lifestyle in mind when it comes to living in what is supposed to be a free country...

Artist or artist lover, as a rule, if i find out is a woman is opposed to the views of the common blue collar worker, there is no place or space in my life for them...

[_SOARER]

You sound fine. I love the ballet and orchestras so it would be a good fit for me.
However, here in NYC, most artsy girls, are really weird and into drugs haha. So it really depends on locality.
Last artsy girl I dated was always high out of her mind.

[silvermoon84]

I’m on Long Island and definitely not into drugs. I have no use for any of that lol

[_SOARER]

Haha that's good 😂
You sound like you are into more traditional forms of performance arts which are 😍😍😍

[Ripper_E]

That's fine. I may not want to hear about it every 5 seconds, but that applies to everything. I wouldn't want to hear about your job every 5 seconds either.

[silvermoon84]

Understandable. I agree that hearing about anything every few seconds can get annoying. Thanks for your answer

[Ripper_E]

I find that much more fascinating that a woman whose hobby is to do makeup all the time. While that is an art, it's practicing the art of making a woman look fake. Which I'm not a fan of, even though I do respect the artistry. Music, theater, dancing, has been around for centuries.

[slatyb]

People often crush on performers. I'm crushing on about five female vocalists right now. My first major crush was on most of the college drama department (one became famous, I wasn't crushing on her).

[genericname85]

lol what woman doesn't love the arts? xD never met one.

[nawtee_me]

If you are not dating it is hard to get most guys to go see a movie, let alone a play or dance performance. I like live performances but have ended up going by myself so I don't go as much as I would like.

[Chriswashere]

Lol that’s awesome and I don’t think it would be a dealbreaker

[chriscdi]

i think a girl with hobbies and passions is good, it can never be a bad thing

[scott04sa22]

I had a girl who was too focus with her art than focusing on a romantic relationship.

[sattvikas]

Definitely artistic personality have its own vibe. Should pefer more that can connect to soul.

[_DARKNESS_]

As an arts person (musician) myself, of course I’d would. I’d have to be crazy not to lol

[imfreeze95]

I would consider that a requirement I enjoy art as well

[OddBeMe]

Absolutely. They’re hotter than cheerleaders, though it’s an art form too.

[moviedude714]

No issue with that at all

[VV3ZZY]

Yes! I am also an artist! 🎨

[Guardian45]

Yes! I have and I will!

[Cryptic-Game]

I'd date women who likes art.

[LEADFOOTboi]

absolutely

[asshole_]

Yeah

[In_Trance]

sure

[Sampike11]

I definitely would
