Search Results: watching people have sex

I've been working on a theory here.

I've been watching relationship reality stuff on TV for years. My poor husband has been subjected to it, being in the same room. He's pretty good at blocking external stimuli out, but ya know, some definitely goes in, whether he likes it or not. These people used to quite often infuriate him. I would be talking at the TV sometimes, and he would be silent, brooding, shaking his head. But eventually, we got to a point where we both watch together, and instead of him being silent, he started making lots of interesting comments and giving his opinions about what was going on - yay, much more fun for me. (These people are on TV for a reason - they're outrageous sometimes, which can be very entertaining. But actually a lot of it is just regular human stories, quite common things many people go through.) Anyway, I noticed a pattern, where he would agree with the woman and criticize the man. Finally, recently, we got to the bottom of this. (Well, I gave my theory and he agreed, "yes, that's it!") Women talk way more. 20,000 wpd vs. 7000. More words means more you have to absorb. And with him only partially listening, he ended up missing many of the details of what the women say, not the men who speak less. So he was basing his conclusions of what's wrong in their relationship, etc. on not all the info. But I saw it as him aligning with the women more, being more sympathetic to them, when often times, as fault is gender-random, they did not deserve all the sympathy. Also, we probably don't have to put as much effort into understanding our own kind. We all know our own sex more. We're on the inside already.
It's been interesting. And now he's figured out how to laugh at them, treat it more as a distant sociological study, or as entertainment, nothing to get worked up about. (And weed and vodka sure helps make things seem funnier.)

But anyway, got me thinking, do you defend one gender more than the other?

I always knew my crush and I were different. He's the "cool guy" who never smiles and isn't afraid to express himself (even if it's hurtful). I'm the naturally playful and flirty type. My guy friends always tell me that when they first met me they thought I was cool, cold and distant but now they see how clumsy and flirty I really am.
Today, I've been texting with my crush, and immediately we could see how different we are. In just a day, I've learned: he doesn't like parties (I'm all about the life of the party - probably because I'm a musician), doesn't like celebrating his birthday (I always celebrate my birthday with friends) and that he hates summer (Summer is my favorite season).
The only thing I see that we have in common so far is that we're dog people who care about the environment. Is that enough to have in common with a partner? There aren't any mutual activities we do or hobbies.
He's a PHD in Science and I'm an Ethics undergrad, French minor.
I'm multilungual, he just speaks English.
I'm a Pisces, he's a Taurus.
I spend my free time singing, dancing, going out with friends, shopping, reading, or watching Criminal Minds, Roswell and K-Drama. He spends his free time gardening, tutoring and who knows? Probably watching Nat Geo and Ted Talks with his dog and a few cans of beer.
He's totally a beer person. I'm a cocktail person.
Till today, I didn't really have any doubts about pursuing him because I've been so blinded by him, but now I'm slightly worried that even if we end up together it wouldn't work out because we're so different. I mean, what would we even do together other than have sex? 😏😏
I've never pursued someone who's this different from me.
Should I be worried, or not? Do opposites really attract? Have you ever pursued/dated someone who was really different from you?
