[Special Ed]

I think its obvious that everyone wants someone with a great personality and a good heart. So I was curious on what people would like for their special someone to possess in hobbies and interests. For instance: like watching dramas/anime, enjoy practicing martial arts/sports, composing music, singing, drawing, etc. Hobbies do not include sleeping, eating, texting, etc.

And do you think similar interests would make a relationship smoother than compared to the "opposites attract"?

[chungey]

i am definitely attracted to guys who do well in school. that's a big one for me.
one who sets a good example for myself.
idealy, he excercises on a regular basis (thats not much to ask for), has decent social skills, is polite** .

no interests in particular, as long as he isn't into drugs / smoking (major turn off for me) / addicted to alcohol / sex addict


i wouldn't go as far as saying "opposites attract", not total opposites. you need some balance~ some similiarities and some differences.

[EHNerJI]

well, i don't want them to be completely the same as me XDD
some differences would be nice so i can get to experience new things, i guess? rofl.
and that i can do the same for him.
complete opposites would make it difficult..
cuz we wouldn't really have any 'common ground'
sooo some big ones for me would be..
interest in anime/manga & video games XDD
and if we have the same taste and music
^ [isn't really difficult cuz i listen to basically everything o.o]
if he likes the same anime as me then... 8DDD! LOL.

Anime

Yousei Teikoku.

[Jah nee nee x]

someone that ...

I can look up to (literally AND figuratively)
can make me laugh until I cry.
is willing to laugh their ass off with me.
is affectionate & passionate.
has their own interests and hobbies to contribute.
can teach me new things
tries their hardest to not ignore me.
can tolerate me changing for the better, but still likes me for who I am.

the list goes on and on

[insanelyCRAZY]

this reminds me of the IDEAL GUY/GIRL thread.
but um...

-anime
-some games. but not hardcore gamer.
-good runner
-not a picky eater and eats more than me
-polite

I seem to be more attracted to guitarists and dancers lately.
The guy I like right now plays guitar and sings and we sing together all the time.

Like someone said earlier, there should be a balance.
There should be traits/skills/interests that are similar and there should be that support the partner's needs... (I don't know if that makes sense)

For example, the guy I like and I are both very Christian, both love music, we're both stubborn and blah blah blah, but he's more outgoing than I am when it comes to talking to strangers, and I'm not as forgetful as he is.

And just in case Shikabane Hime says something about me making a move, I did, he just likes someone else...

[vanEIK]

Sex?

Hahahahahaha. x;

[_ATELIER]

^ ilmao. very honest.

conversations without awkward silences, honesty (white lies are aightt),
excitement, spontaneity and passionate make outs every now and then. /rawr

-- oh oops, totally just answered the topic title and looked past the topic itself.
well, go to the gym with me, night swims, shop with me and not look dead while doing so lol,
oh and definitely cooking together, i think that's always a cute scenario between couples.
those are some things i enjoy doing, but whatever hobbies he has doesn't really matter to me,
haha we don't necessarily need the same hobbies to get along =P

[carmelalalala]

i really like a guy who can dance its sucha turn on!
oh, and someone who loves food~ haha.

so he can take me out to nice places to eat, and/or cook something yummy for me~

[rOothx33]

I don't really care what his hobbies/interests are, so long as he's good at what he does My bf is a swimmer/gamer, and I love watching him practice/play. Idk why, but I take pride in watching him. Kind of like, "See him? He's mine." lol
I think a combination of sharing similarities and having differences is key in any relationship. Similarities will bring you together and your differences will keep you together. That is to say, if your differences aren't total polar opposites (). Having different interests gives each person in the relationship a sense of independence, but at the same time, learning to share and embrace these differences can bring you closer together.

[redRosex]

for me, i would want a guy who's a bit opposite from me.
i.e. i'm on the shy/quiet side, so it would be nice if he were outgoing&adventurous.

Other than that.. it would be better if we shared common interests. like music and sports

[1S0ULL]

Well, I'd rather him be a bit similar with me so we can do stuff together that we both enjoy.
I wouldn't want my boyfriend to hate shopping D: , that would be terrible. So thank god my boyfriend cares about fashion : ) .
And we always watch dramas together LOL .
He just has to be good at what he does, basically.
A musically talented & athletic guy (: .
I love watching his volleyball games <3 .
& I'm making him perfect 'Kiss The Rain' : D

[Sympathetic]

A man who would like to shop with me.
Sadly, my boyfriend hates shopping

Edit: Oh and a guy who doesn't dota.
But sadly, yet again, my boyfriend does dota.

[jiwoneex3]

I love to cook,
so a guy who would cook with me.
also : intelligence & a great sense of humor.
that is all.

[anna12125]

As long as he's not addicted to DoTa.... >___>

Maybe a guy who would just sit with me in a park at night, listen to my problems, or who would do star gazing with me ^o^
cooking is cool too!

[Wendyyy]

I'd like to go around the city or to different areas where we live and take nice walks and have really good talks.
And also to explore different areas and take pictures. I really like taking pictures, but I've never really taken pictures with someone before. Just for fun events and hang outs, but not like pictures with an artistic value to it? Idk. Haha. I've usually done that solo.
I've also always wanted to cook with an s/o. Anddd ice skating! And.. Random stuff like finger painting I don't knowww haha.
Just really simple things that two people in love can bond over.

And I think similar interests help, but isn't necessary for a smooth relationship.. I mean, lets face it, that can get pretty boring if you guys agree on EVERYTHING.
Having someone who doesn't agree with you or someone who doesn't have the same similarities as you can be fun because the things you do or the things he does can compel new things for one another! Lol I'm bad at wording things today, but you get my point.

[DeeIsRadicalYeah]

a guy who can play an instrument compatible of course w/ my music interests -- bonus points!

[kumadana]

i ask for a lot i think :/

1. i want him to be preferably asian, but if not, he has to be scenester hawt!
2. nerdy and goofy. i make a lot of lame puns and say random things because i don;t like awkward silences. i want him to say random things and make lame jokes too :]
3. smart. i don;t like talking to idiots
4. anime -__-
5. some sort of sport like cross country of tennis. i personally don;t like crazy muscular guys. i actually love super scrawny, skinny, guys that are just so thin that you can see all their muscle.

[sillymeboy]

What you want in a relationship and what you get are two totally different stories. My sister sometimes randomly ask me what my ideal girl is and I always go rich/smart/beautiful/nice personality, etc. but then I tell her Ideal and reality are different.
