Would You Date Someone Who Prefers To Stay Indoors For Most Days Of the Week?

I have never stopped laughing about this story I heard on the radio. The hosts were allowing listeners to call up a date that never called them back and they would ask them why they did it. This woman called in and said, she thought she was having a great time with the guy, the conversation was good, but then she never got a call back. So they called him, and this guy said, yeah, she was actually cool, except she made me walk outdoors and I'm not an outdoor guy. Like, I like to drive places or stay indoors. The woman said, we walked a total of 2 blocks to the movie theater...two?!? He was like, yeah, but I said on my profile, I don't like exercise or walking or the outdoors and your MADE me walk so I figured this was a thing you do regularly, and I'm not that guy, so I never called you back. The hosts and the woman were in shock, like is he serious? Apparently he was, but the bright side, they told her, was it wasn't her or her personality which she thought was the thing that somehow turned him off from a second date, it was just he won't go outside.

In my life, one of my exes was an indoor type, and it did get to be a problem because he never wanted to go out. He made it seem like I was the problem like this lady...like why do we need to go see your friends again (when it had been like a month since we'd hung out). I love staying in occasionally, but definitely not all the time. We broke up, and he married the next girl he dated. We were friends, so when they divorced, she told me one of the huge reasons was he never wanted to socialize and go out. He just liked to stay at home all the time and she felt she was "too young to retire and stay home all day."

I voted no because I prefer the outdoors, even for relaxing with a cup of morning coffee. It really depends on the activities though. I love going for walks on the beach, but not so much just sitting in the sand all day. In that case, I’d rather be productive inside.

It depends on whether they like to be outdoors as well and not just sitting in the house all day watching tv or playing video games , that would be boring , but if they like to go out on occasion and be outdoors, then I wouldn’t mind dating a girl like that Even when I am home, I am primarily outside in my yard or on my patio being outside as much as possible , i barely stay inside the house unless it’s ice cold outside. But to be honest , I barely watch tv or play video games , but I’d be lying if I said I never do that , I just don’t do it as much , for me to sit down and watch tv , it has to be something that’s really keeping my interest, for me to sit down and watch tv for a long period of time , if not , I will walk away and do something else or hopefully get her naked and do her instead lol

“It depends” , I like the outdoors as much as I like staying inside sometimes albeit in not so fair weather but I need balance. I like and need to socialize , my family and friends are spread over hundreds of miles and my job takes me further still.

As long as they can and want to naturally fit my balance then I’d be good with that BUT , if a woman were to ask that of me I’d likely understand it that they wanted to be inside virtually all of the time and so would have to decline. I don’t believe a person would ask that otherwise.

Sure, as long as they’re not a total hermit or agoraphobic. I can usually stay or go. I can occupy my mind either way. I need to get out from time to time to occupy my body. I don’t necessarily need company in either scenario.

Sunrising · Answer

I don't know anyone that prefers to stay indoors. I spend most of my time indoors, but not through choice ( well my chosen career is inside, I choose to cook my meals inside, I do my chores inside )

OK I prefer to spend my time indoors!

But I also want to be outside, in the rain, gale force winds, snow, and the sun, visiting new places, having new experiences, meeting interesting people. If my date didn't want to do these things I don't think we would be compatible. I'm looking for someone similar to myself.

I have a dog who needs to go on walks (preferably daily). So while I am a homebody, I still wantvto walk my dog daily. We live 1/2 a mile from a park with a mile loop, so we can get her 2 miles on a good day. We get a mile most days, because they're too cold 🥶 or too hot 🥵.
I haven't walked her since Saturday, which is not ideal, but we are under an extreme heat advisory eith temperatures in th3 mid to high 90s and a heat index of +11 or more degrees. Today we had a heat index as high as 115 and we're expecting the same tomorrow.

Sure, as I'm agoraphobic myself and tend to stay indoors a majority of the time. It would just give me more time with them which would be nice. Only downside is if they never go out which would kinda suck as I would need them to do things for me so I don't have to leave the house lol

queenofcardio · Answer

Ideally I'd prefer someone who enjoys the outdoors as much as I do. I think it would be fine. I don't mind staying home somedays or doing my own activities alone.

dustybiker2 · Answer

I'm an independent outdoors person. They do not have to match this perfectly. How the relationship meshes is what matters.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Perfectly ok with that as someone who spends most of their week working outside a lot of the time I am ok with staying inside during the weekends.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I am an outdoors person, so a woman who is also an outdoors person would be more compatible with me.

iFarted · Answer

Yes, I'm pretty beat by the end of my work day and usually like to unwind and relax at home on workdays. If she prefers to stay in that'd be perfect. I do however like to spend my Saturdays out.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

We're out every day of the week.  Even when we're at home, we're outdoors.

It would be very difficult to. I love the outside and would want her to do things outside (besides sex) with me.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

I live in the mountains for a reason. Last things I want to do is be a shut in in this splendor.

Jove79 · Answer

No. I won’t want to date a lazy homebody. Sounds boring and depressing. I want to hike, go to the beach, walk around town to explore the city, possibly even snow board and skydive.

people who stay indoors all the time tend to be boring people.

Just a reminder, girls do like people who are more active. That's just general assumption from my end.
