To me, it's helpful if, say, a software engineer is emotive and expressive. It's kind of difficult for anyone to share an enthusiasm for all but the subjects that most mutually interest them if the person who brought up the subject is very poker-faced with a reserved body language and doesn't convey much enthusiasm.
But I think extreme practicality is generally going to work towards boring for most. For example, if someone is extremely practical about food, they might never indulge in gourmet foods from across the world, since a very robotic idea of practicality would see that as an unhealthy waste of time and money. So you're likely to alienate a lot of ordinary people the more practical you become in this sense.

Boredom sets into boring minds.
If you find somebody else to be boring, there's two distinct possibilities. One is that they are like that around everybody, the other possibility is that they are only boring around stupid people.
You stick me in a room full of idiots, I will not be the life of the party or the center of attention, because I don't have anything to say to those people and I'm probably planning to leave, not be entertaining.
I think sort of yes, in a way very practical people are more boring. Stability, thinking things through, planning. being dependable, they are a little boring. But the inverse of this would be to maybe be more spontaneous, arty, marches to the beat of their own drum, a dreamer, but then they may not be dependable or financially secure, have good follow-through, etc. When I am out and about I don't hear many people talking about their work with computers. But they get a paycheck and contribute to the world. We can't all be impractical.
I know plenty of computer guys whose minds are off in the ether.

I like dorky computer guys (as long as they are the type that isn’t a bit strange). They look smart and it’s hottt 😍 I like practical. plus, if my computer breaks, they can fix it. Win-win. But be the confident dorky computer boys because they’re the best. When you start to force confidence and push yourself out of your comfort zone, you start to get it naturally. Also, practical doesn’t always equal boring. Be confident in yourself and everyone will like you- trust me. It is the key to life.
I actually like them, I'm mostly into different topics. Perhaps It could help me develop a different point of view and I could add to their plate from my perspective. I think diverse topics are key for learning. In a partner I don't want him to be my copy. In a way we might share core values, yet his personality should be his own. :)
It depends, there are lots of people who either are going to school///working hard staying in one city or on the flip side people who travel and work in the wilderness... I'd put it that it really depends on a person level of wanting to adventure. Some people are more socially inclined than others though of course
No matter what type a person is.
I am logical/realistic as hell but far from boring.
Being realistic does not mean one can not have a personality. Either you got it or you dont.Going to be honest. I’m a blunt and honest person, always been attracted to the same kind of person.
I am one myself and prefer the same type of a community. Realistic and practical. Strong and independent women, who make their own money are the best 😍
Ideals don't change anything. I take matters into my own hands because nobody else will.When talking about dreams or some ideas, they’re boring af
But they’re needed to stop dreamer from keeping their heads in the clouds and be more realistic and balancing somethings outWhether someone is a bookworm, computer geek, a jock, or a starlet, makes no nevermind: just check out each person as an individual.
I am one so no. They are attractive to me
Being practical is good. It depends on context, sure, but I like it.
No. It just happens that only smart people will relate, and there aren't as many :D
I mean I'm a realistic person but I'm not mundane lol. Don't think that someone who's optimistic is therefore an interesting person.
More attractive, although they are very rare as most people are taught things that they'll never use, like algebra and history relating to presidents.
Not necessarily. But I've found that impractical and unrealistic people are often more interesting
I'm practical/realistic myself and fine with people sharing this feature.
There is no different we are all equal x
Not at all
I'm one of them. They're good to get along with.
What if I am a computer girl?
I vote B. I always take the road less traveled.
