irc333 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 This post was "Geek" post so I figured I'd speak of sub-cultures in general. There are quite a few out there actually. EVEN sub-cultures within a sub-culture. Two common ones come to mind. 1. Biking (motorcycling that is). I have known people who would ONLY date bikers, esp. Harley Riders. There's nothing more boring to a relationship like this when your sig. other has no interest in owning a hawg. 2. Sports, and the women who are into it. There's nothing more boring to me than sports, I CANNOT simply sit through an entire football game, I'd prefer to watch a movie (Star Trek anyone? LOL). And I've even seen women state in their profile, "If you don't like sports, do NOT email me!" However I would have no problem dating a woman that's into sports. I've seen a woman express that her and her boyfriend of 2 years, practically have NO common hobbies. She can't stand golf, but he goes golfing with the guys every weekend. He has no interest in window shopping, and she doesn't expect him to go with him. They can comfortably do things apart, regardless of TOTAL lack of common intersts and hobbies. I find this quite interesting, because COMMON interests is what usually bring people together and date, right? However, NOT having a shared interest could also be a deal breaker as well, go figure? Join a trail biking group, boy meets girl, boy discusses bike equipment, name brands, quality items, best biking trails, flirts are exchanged, and before you know it, phone #'s are exchanged, yes?
Author irc333 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 OH, thought of another one. Horseback riding. Couple years back, a woman I was talking to had an interest in horseback riding, she had land, stables, and of course horses. THough, she didn't mention it in her profile, she's come to discover that I don't do that kind of thing, but I have ridden horses (trail horses) and thought it was fun, but not horse owner. Very costly and big responsibility. She said, "Well, I'm looking for a guy that's into horses as much as I am, because my last boyfriend had no interest in it, and had no interest in helping me around the stables or just the horses in general, and even expected me to give up the horses" That's another thing to, they feel that the last person that the dated, expected them to GIVE UP a hobby...but...I will not allow for such things at all.
Emilia Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Join a trail biking group, boy meets girl, boy discusses bike equipment, name brands, quality items, best biking trails, flirts are exchanged, and before you know it, phone #'s are exchanged, yes? I meet men through shared interest but if that's all they can talk about I start yawning in 5 minutes and move on. There is so much out there than bikes or sailing (my interest) or sports or arts. A million million things to discuss People who can only talk about their hobbies are boring in my opinion
