I totally watch shit like Star Trek and Game of Thrones for my fiancée. Chick stuff. She's on board with microtonality, though, so it's all good.
Also tried to be into sports for a while to have something to talk to other guys about.

taking an interest in stuff you wouldn't automatically be drawn to is part of lots of relationships other than romantic ones, my kids being the first that springs to mind

I am deathly afraid of heights. I stay away from railings, balconies, that kind of thing, to a point where people notice. When I was 19, however, I went to Six Flags with someone I wanted to like me and told her I was into roller coasters. The first roller coaster I ever rode was King Da Ka.
This was a case, 100%, of misrepresenting myself to impress someone. I believe it has nothing at all to do with the behavior that startedt this discussion — grabbing people without their consent. In fact I think it’s like the opposite of that because I was looking for approval not wantonly disregarding it.

i think this is one of the reasons i can't get my head around dating sites - a list of music and films and TV shows that somebody likes is pretty low on my list of priorities for whether i like them or not

If I had all the same interests as my partner that’d be terrible. I’m sometimes bummed out by the things I like they don’t but it’s far outweighed by the things they like I don’t know anything about and get to learn about.

I basically quit ILX ca. 2009 over a nasty name-calling by some board regulars who insinuated that I would be single for life because I didn’t desire to share the same music tastes as my partner, or value it in any sat, and that a shared aesthetic was the key to happiness and a signifier of blah blah blah good riddance gawker.

I love how saying 95% of men are gropers and "I've grabbed a butt or two" is p much yawnsville. But me admitting I might have gone to a Natalie Angier lecture for reasons that may not have been 100% pure is like BREAK OUT THE PITCHFORKS

sharing mutual interests so you can have something to talk about is not always relevant imo, mutual love and respect is. my wife and i share vv different interests but that's what makes things so interesting. we love each other a lot, we're each other's best friend, it goes beyond music and so on. idk.
― omar little, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 19:35 (six years ago) link
what interests we don't share aren't ones that we put up with or tolerate in the other person, it's just part of the rich tapestry.

xp there were a couple really bad incidents a very long time ago when I was out drinking and then went with a group of friends or new acquaintances to a dance club and did some ill-advised attempted making out that was either cringeworthy or quickly declined

Not a fan, but even I’ll admit “a bunch of kids movies” is a little reductive to describe Star Wars.
