a When you have common interests, you can spend a lot of time doing them together, but when you have different hobbies or interests, there is a lot you can tell and teach each other. So I am confused, what do you think?
Common interests and hobbies are fine, but I would never want to share the same passion.
I prefer to stay away from girls who are musicians. I don't know why, it just seems kind of cringey to play music together when you're dating. It can also turn in to a sort of competition that could cause resentment.
Of course this is coming from someone who quit every band he ever joined. I prefer it as a solo venture.
That's just my personal thoughts about it, but I know a lot of people enjoy sharing the same passion with their SO. I'd rather her have her thing and me have mine.
You and your partner should have some common interests, but some differences are good too. You each can learn from your partner.
I have seen both situations. The most important one is not to have contradicting morals and values. I don't care what those are but they have to match on important subjects. Vaccination, faith, open relationship, kids, etc. They have to match on the big ones and you have to be ok with each other past. If you hide it then you are heading for a heartache or ending a good thing.
No confusion. Both are beneficial: like interests mean you share stuff, differences mean you can either learn new things or leave each other space to do your own things. Away time is good for relationships too.

I think a mix of both. You do your thing and I'll do mine, but if we have zero in common what's the point of being together and what are we ever going to do in the same place?
I would say you need something in common not everything. That where you can actually add benefits to each other. But if you have nothing in common it won't work.
Differences are not only beneficial, they're essential. You need a mix of common interests and differences.
half common, half uncommon so you can enjoy things together yet also show new things to each other.
I think it is better to have somebody who shares some of your interests. I married somebody that shares many of my interests. We have been together for 27 years.
Yes, its essential to share common interests, hobbies, goals, etc. Differences in personality or any of the former will lead to an unhappy relationship and an eventual breakup.
Either common interests or a willingness to engage in it
Men and women are different so it not essential, having common goals it what important.
Hmm. This one's always been hard to say. I think I'll know the right mix someday. 👏🏻👌
There needs to be MOST commonalities, but, some differences can be ok. if you're always agreeing, it's boring but, if you're always fighting, it's toxic
I think you need a few things in common to get on with each other, but I also think that separate hobbies is good because you are away and giving space to each other
It’s probably better to have the same interests but different hobbies or it can get competitive, it’s nice liking the same music and movies though
As AviatorTom said, both have their place in a good relationship.
A few would help but willingness to explore to find common interests might make more sense.
having something in common is important. doesn't need to be everything. hobbies are actually not important to share. values are
Both. Some common interests to connect and some differences so each can grow.
i think it can't hurt, hard enough to find some compatible
Has to be a balance
