Do you and your g/f (b/f) have the same interest?

If not how does the relationship work, if it is working? I don't even want to be involved with a girl that is not extremely healthy. Normal girls that never go to the gym and eat like crap are the biggest turn off to me.
Does anyone else see potential mates in this light or is it just me?

I'm gonna go to GNC tomorrow to pick up on chicks,lol. :p
 
When my wife and I first got together the only thing we had in common was drinking beer and staying up late. And now, I often think we have less in common than before. It's not our interests that keep us together, our interests are what give us freedom from each other. Our values and life goals are what keep us together. Past that, you'd have to talk to the wife about our relationship - keeps does a great job with it.
 
I agree. My husband and I have very little in common, but we are both very independent. He plays video games while I go hiking and kyaking and it's all good. :)

My girlfriend can kick my ass. She is a pro sponsored downhill mountain biker. She surfs 2 times a week. Runs AND goes to the gym. This on top of finishing her PHD. Solid muscle no BF. I hate her !! :rolleyes:

We have different body types so she can eat anything and I gain easily. This is the only thing that is difficult. Other than that she rocks !!
 
Me and my boyfriend have a lot of the same interests but we're very different also. I couldn't keep up with him if I tried but I don't think that's really whats important. We have great conversations, lots of fun when we're together and we help each other through problems. I think it's important to have some of the same interests so that there are things you can do with your gf/bf but I don't think anyone really wants a clone of themself. I know if I was busy as my bf we'd never have any time to see each other and that would suck really bad. No one is ever going to be completely perfect for you either.
 
same interests?

my husband and i are married for 18 years and do nOT have hardly any of the same interests................we make a go of it though!
 
my BF and i are both obsessed with working out - cardio, lifting, etc. we often lift together ...
people always joke that we need to get a new hobby - b/c we are constatly going to the gym together! ;)
but i like it this way - i have a feeling that we'll never let one another slack off as we age, etc.
 
I agree that similar interests help a lot in a relationship as seen from the previous posts. Practically, everyone wants to go out with someone they could 'Click' with at least one hobby/interest and thats normal. (Dont expect too much!) Take your time choosing someone you would like to go for and be as inquisitive as possible without violating the woman you are interested in and then you might discover that you two might 'Click' after all!
Patience is a virtue but don't just sit and wait for the 'right' (not ideal) woman to knock on your door.

That's my two cents =)
Constructive criticism is most welcome :)
 
My wife and I couldn't be more different. I do martial arts and workout all the time. I hate going to a "real job" and got kicked out of high school. My wife is a school teacher with a master degree and she loves to go to work everyday. The only thing she hits is me in the back of my head. I think that that is what keeps us together, we live through each other. I give her the rebelous side of life and she makes me feel like a stable person.
 
I am with McCarley on this one. My wife and I differ markedly on hobbies. But our values and goals are extremely similar.

I am bigtime into staying fit. I love it with a passion! She feels that exercise is something that MUST be done to stay trim and healthy...

We have been married for 10 years and together for 17... So, something must be clicking!

:)

If you try and pick a woman (or man for that matter) only based on his physical fitness aspirations, I think you will be unhappy in the long-run.

IMHO - The main thing is, no matter who you choose... You must choose to love her/him. Stick with the love aspect through thick and thin!

Who knows what the answer is... I am sure you can find happy couples with answers in all directions on this one.

Well, i'm a 47 year old female who just celebrated her 25th (gulp) anniversary to a guy who couldn't be MORE DIFFERENT than me. I LOVE and SHARE his interests, but he doesn't care a bit about working out.
I was once an afaa certified personal trainer/model and worked at a Golds' gym, and fitness was my life. He said i got so 'vain' it turned him off. And I must admit, I did get pretty pre-occupied with my looks. (Boob job, tanning booths - then I realized that my most important asset was US, OUR RELATIONSHIP AND my family, so I eased off a bit. Being a Trainer, you get VERY burned out after a while. You get to where you don't want to even SEE the inside of a gym, and your own workouts start to suffer, and I didn't want that to happen.
It's SUCH a long painful story. I(big family history) have panic disorder and had to start on Paxil about seven years ago.
I have gained 40 lbs - a - Paxil side effect, (but I wouldn't be here without it), but have never stopped exercising. It is my life. I still am very happy, self-confident and easy going, and I will never stop power walking, and doing weights. How can you once you feel how wonderful they are?
I have had plenty of times falling off the wagon, but i get right back on. (I'm doing chest and biceps while i type this in between sets!!!)
I am very independant and outgoing, and my husband is a darling, sweet and shy guy. He manages a three race-car (NASCAR LICENSED) team, and I am on the pit crew for that - {quality time together ha ha}
we ALSO SHARE a love of dirt bike riding,(since high school-we went to the same school) and anything with wheels.
We live a very upscale lifestyle, and have a beautiful home. But when it comes to working out, count' him out. He thinks it's boring, so i take our beautiful Boxers for my fitness walks with me!! AND HE'S A SMOKER!!!!
Yes i have tried getting him to, and he has tried to quit seriously about four times, each time almost having a nervous breakdown. I have tried to tell him to get into working out (he also races vintage motocross - HE NEEDS TO BE FIT) but I gave up years ago.
Other than that, our life is wonderful.
P.S. The best part of it all? He has loved me and been there for me, thru literally thick and thin, blonde and straight hair, short curly brown hair, little boobs, big boobs, now one deflated boob, -------- christianity then converting to judiasm............................he lets me 'be me' and loves me despite of it all, and to me, that is the greatest love of all.
And I adore him and look up to him more than any man I have ever met.
And because of the freedom he knows that i've always needed, I have never been unfaithful. I was on a journey to find ME, and I was lucky enough to do it without losing my husband, even realizing that I loved him the most all along. FITNESS BUFF OR NOT.

Spousal differences can work, believe me. You need the space from each other, to appreciate the times you are together.

ha ha. I recognize your icon = it looks like a clutch plate cover.
I had a 100th anniversary sportster, but AGAIN, my husband didn't share my love of the street riding. WE DO RIDE DIRT together though, which is a much better workout ha ha.

just wondering if you own a panhead.


fit4life :rolleyes: :)
 
Well, I broke it off with the girl I was dating when I started this thread. She was just too immature.
I can't believe this thread is still alive. Glad all of yall have found the one you want to make it work with.
 
My avatar is from the band Black Label Society. I like heavy metal. I've never owned a panhead but many people have asked me that.
