Could you date someone who wasn't outdoorsy and into nature?

Question

Like they preferred to do outdoor activities inside... and not because of covid but just out of habit... and likely 5-6 days a week.  I mean there's indoor skiing, indoor waterparks, indoor shopping, indoor cycling, indoor sports games, indoor rock climbing, indoor tanning, indoor walking track, indoor skating, indoor yoga, indoor birdwatching, indoor volleyball, indoor theme parks (okay well not that extreme lmao), indoor scavenger hunt, indoor tanning, indoor gardening (greenhouse), etc lol.  I mean there could even be indoor camping  where you set a tent up in the living room and roast marshmallows in the fireplace.  Too extreme?  👀🤣  #FeelFreeToList #Indoorsy

She wouldn't have to be into backpacking and camping, but she would have to love and have a connection with nature.

City life and staying exclusively indoors in artificial environments makes me cringe.

I think aberrant, western, consumer culture, including violence and mental illness, is partially a result of being alienated from nature and, therefore, our own humanity. And if we are disconnected from ecosystems and natural wonders, we can't love nature or value it. We can't feel awe, wonder and gratitude for creation and the miracle that is Earth. We wind up just thinking of it as a commodity to be used. In the process, we, ourselves, become mere commodities.

Not for long. I can amuse myself at home for considerable periods of time, but a point comes when I have to get out and be among big trees, preferably close to a large body of water, sucking down some good air and smelling that freshness all around me. If you know who Stan Ridgway is and you've ever heard his voice singing, Don't box me in--it's like that.

It's from a movie, Rumblefish: typical '80s macho angst bull but it looks good, in b&w, and I love that song.

Real wilderness, though, is not my thing, because I know that if a bear or a wolf showed up, I would do all the wrong things and end up fertilizing the flora. Good safe camping sites are just right for me, with clean rest rooms and happy families not too close and not too far.

I could not date someone who only likes to be inside.
Although I am a homebody and love the indoors too, I love nature and I would prefer to be doing things outside.
I am dating a gamer boy though, he’s very indoorsy, but still loves the outdoors just as me. We are very compatible because we are both indoorsy/homebodies, but absolutely love doing things outside during the day, and cuddling up inside at night.
I don’t think I could handle someone who never wants to go on walks, hiking, bike rides, or at least the gym.

Anonymous · Answer

So you hate going outside too? 🤣
I already do indoor bird watching, it's kinda fun lol. I would probably try doing the other things you listed if i had someone to do it with..

It's not for me to be always outside, always on the move, always doing some outside activity. I like riding a bicycle sometimes with friends, or going on long walks etc, but not all the time, i love being home...

Whenever i read bios in girl's dating profiles, they talk about how they are always on the move, outdoorsy type of girls. They like to say how they are "not lazy", implying that if you are not like them, then you are lazy..

Not really , I love being outside as much as possible , unless it’s cold as hell out or raining then yes I will stay in but I love being outdoors, so if she really didn’t enjoy that then I don’t think her and I would have much in common , I love to fish hike bonfires , swim etc.. I love nature and oceans and lakes and rivers etc. being to much of a homebody is boring to me , I am not much of a tv person , once in awhile I will watch it but tv is something I don’t really care much for and about , I can’t sit and watch tv for hours, I would end up passing out from boredom lol same as video games I like video games once in awhile but not for a long time , it gets boring after a bit , I rather be getting my hands into something outside or just chilling outside by a fire and I love cooking on a fire as well playing music and having a few beers and breathing in the fresh air.

I wouldn't notice that the first months dating that person but at some point i want to be out with her in the nature. These are the few basic steps of trust and getting to know the person, where i will do things i never done with her vice versa. I am a gamer and a pc gaming nerd but being outside in the nature makes me feel sane. I fish, plant seeds, interact with the wild life. Where we live now you can see different big birds wondering with their seasonal flying live, see deers out in the natureand so far i have seen 2 moose (young ones) it is amazing to be this close to all of it. Being away might work but i will feel weird or empty at times because of it.

DarkCarousel · Answer

Only if we lived in the Arctic or the desert would I be okay with that. And even then, I would want to be outside. I enjoy the outdoors quite a bit. Spending time in nature is peaceful for me and I like some of the challenges that being outdoors can bring.

RobT312 · Answer

It wouldn’t work for me. Although I’m an urban city person and do a bunch indoors, I also love the outdoors. There are outdoor things I want to do with a girlfriend that I can’t give up…running, hiking, dog walking, skiing, camping etc. …for example what’s camping without tent sex, lol?
so if she’s opposed to these activities, although I could love the person, we would not be compatible partners

TrueConfection · Answer

Indoor campground Indoor beach Just thought I'd share these funny pictures. I personally need the great outdoors.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

I’m sure I can see myself into someone like that.

I’m not always doing stuff involving nature or involving anything outdoors.

I’d like to know why she wouldn’t be into or able to do anything outdoors or amongst nature out of curiosity.

To me, this isn’t that big of a deal as to not be with someone who you like or love.

We can find some mutual agreement or work around.

Cherry234 · Answer

I'm not sure. I'd rather have a guy who's willing to do some activities outdoors and at least take walks with me. I prefer outdoor waterparks and theme parks. Also, if I was going camping (I'm not really interested in it) I'd rather it be outdoor camping. Some of the other ones you listed like rock climbing, yoga, shopping, and cycling are activities I'm okay with doing indoors so I wouldn't mind if the guy I was with preferred that.

Citizenkirk · Answer

I could, and even though I volunteer for outdoor charities and conservation initiatives, I don't consider myself an outdoor enthusiast even though I spend a lot of time bike riding and running outdoors and swimming. You won't see me camping out anymore than I necessarily have to. I enjoy my indoor amenities.

exitseven · Answer

I did date somebody like this. She was different from all the other girls I dated. We went to a concert in the city and it was during a snowstorm and I parked about a half mile away because I did not want to get towed. We walked the rest of the way and she complained about it the whole time. ThAt is when I started to have my doubts.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I'm not outdoorsey, I like nature, but in the sense that I like paleontology, evolution, wild animal documentaries, zoos, exotic pets, etc.

You won't catch me camping though, or hiking, and fuck rock climbing or any other dangerous sport, or tbh any sports period.

I'd prefer a girlfriend who is like me in these respects. And wants to watch nature documentaries and anime while feeding our pet cheetah and playing fighting games on pc/console after we draw random shit.

ChiTown33 · Answer

It depends what you mean buy that. I was raised an outdoorsman. Was taught to hunt, fish, we camped on river sandbars. Having said that I wouldn't classify myself as an "outdoorsman". But I do appreciate nature and try to camp at least once a year. So I'd be fine with someone who was similar to me. I could probably tolerate someone who was more outdoorsy. But someone who didn't want to camp at all. How boring is that?

SmokyOne · Answer

I have never liked the outdoors. After getting in a rather unfortunate series of events with law enforcement I was camping professionally for 2 years (homeless). So now I like the outdoors even less than before.

Do all activities indoors? Fuck yes. Always. That is perfect.

MartianBuddy · Answer

As long as we could sit on the beach and go outside every once and a while sure. Some of the stuff you mentioned sounds fun. Plus the indoor camping sounds kinda cute im not gonna lie lol. For context I live in the deep ass south, so there is like 3 months out of the year where it is pleasant to be outside for long periods of time, my mind could be kinda warped on this.

Medicalbug · Answer

I could yes. I am both. I also don’t think a partner needs to do everything with me. If the dude was indoorsy, I’d focus on that kind of activity for our time together and go on outdoor adventures when he’s busy or doing something else.

Loveisgirthy · Answer

I could but I'd rather not. I'd tend to assume a lot about people who aren't outdoorsy so it most likely wouldn't last long. But nothin could be better than camping and waking up to the most beautiful forest sun rays and having sex on a rock or on the side of a lake as the sun rises. Have all the wild animals around watching, taking notes, trying to pick their jaws off the ground.

Mpage8 · Answer

im with you, I’m tired of people showing hiking and what not on their profiles. I don’t see the amusement. I don’t mind a fall bonfire, or a weekend at the amusement park or an evening walk around the neighborhood, but not someone who’s itching to be like a cavewoman

1988fido · Answer

Actually it is better for me  I prefer indoors specially at the start coz i can be romantic as much as I want which usually end up fooling around and sex

melanieeeB · Answer
