Would you rather date someone who shares your exact interests or someone that has different interests/introduces new interests? (Page 2)

Question

To elaborate - like shared interests would be you already have the same interests. So you meet them and they like the same activities like sports or art or interests in movies and music. or Someone who has interests you’ve never explored, but you’re both wanting to do them together. They pick up on your interests and you pick up on theirs.  like if I meet a guy and I am not already interested in things he loves (like sports or knowledge of movies or books etc) would that make someone lose interest or do these things not matter?

Communicating with someone with whom you have no interests in common can be difficult, foe example if she is from another country, but as your relationship develops, you will have plenty to talk about.

Birdlegs · Answer

Differing interests but with one or two that overlap is ideal for me.

rubyhert · Answer

We have different intrests and hobbies. Gives us something to talk about.  But we have the same sense of humour. Which gives us something in common

I prefer someone with similar interests and introduces new interests that seem cool, that I like, find interesting, or becomes my new interests!

King-Galaxius · Answer

It definitely needs to be at least 90% in the match category. Hopefully the guy is telling the truth as well, because if he does not, especially on dating/marriage websites, 9 times out of ten the relationship will end up disastrous. I especially know this first hand, because most guys lie on their profiles while speaking to my female siblings. As a result, my sisters ended up hurt really, really bad. My brother, too.
These folks even do things with their profile photos, too: catfish stuff.

I would love to find a girl that has the same interests and also open to new ones as well as I am but I’ve yet to find that quality, especially today’s dating market which really sucks for
Minorities such as myself.

MCheetah · Answer

Shared interests, since many of mine are ones that are hard to find in people, in general. Such as self-improvement, gaining as many intellectual skills as possible, and wanting to be your own hero.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

A mix of both. My interests are a bit limited so I like partners who have more varied interests that I can enjoy with them.

Same interests but also independent enough to have some other interests than just what we both have in common.

Some things in common but I am not gay and that is why I date women. They are different and more interesting. Opposites makes sense

Shared interests is better, but i don't mind the other option either.

Shiningtempest · Answer

I would rather date a woman who shares my exact interests. Thus I won't date a woman who doesn't share my exact interests even if personality clicks.

ayomanwya · Answer

Different so I can be interested in what they do and they can be interested in what I do

I'm so weird, no one has ever had exact interests. I'd have loved that but I never found her.
