Ouroboros Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 are more telling of who a person is than what they do to get by.
vsmini Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Agree. I also think core values are more telling than hobbies or interests. I can't tell you how many people I've known stayed in crappy relationships due to the fact that they had tons of shared interests and hobbies.

I can't tell you how many people I've known stayed in crappy relationships due to the fact that they had tons of shared interests and hobbies. The most important reason for being together is a feeling that can't be expressed in words and takes into account many things some of which one is not consciously aware of. being a felon is not a good hobby but you defend felons like its nothing But then again according to you I get all the chickadees down at the roller rink so it must be a pretty good hobby.
counterman Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Should one date seriously if he/she does not have that many hobbies or interests? For myself, I am interested in a lot of things, many of which I haven't pursued yet. I want to learn to cook (quite decently), to sing, to play the guitar, to draw quick portraits, to dance, and so on... but I haven't taken most of them up. I am making an effort to try new things that I want to and there's so much I want to do. However, my current hobbies are few. I do play sport twice a week, go to the theaters regularly and am involved in a few of my uni societies, but I don't feel I'm quite satisfied. If one doesn't have much going on in his/her life, I think he/she should probably concentrate on that first. But I am a bit unsure about myself.

I want to try so many things but I haven't been able to invest myself in them yet. I have started playing piano again though. Yeah, I don't know how to answer your question because I've wondered the same thing myself. I was filling out a dating profile online and realized that I don't have that many hobbies and interests that I can claim

There are also CERTAIN hobbies that if you don't share the SAME hobby....it's a deal breaker to them. ie - motorcycle riding is a great example
utterer of lies Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 are more telling of who a person is than what they do to get by. Well, having no or a ****ty job and education still says a lot about a person. Lack of ambition, inability to adapt, ... Of course everyone might lose their job for no fault of their own, but the chance that someone fails at finding work and getting an education both is negligible.
