OK, ive always talked about this with people and especially on our podcast show... it is annoying when a girl bothers you when youre trying to watch the big game or play cards with the boys. BUT Its even more annoying when girls pretend to like those things when they clearly are faking it....

How many of you girls do that? and if so, do you think guys do the same thing?

[bonjour tristesse.]

I don't fake it. If I don't like something, I don't like something. That doesn't mean that I don't try though. I like watching basketball .. But I don't like playing it. So when my ex-boyfriend told me to play my response was an instant no but I played for fun and laughs anyways.

And lmfao, guys are the same sometimes with what girls do. It's as annoying

[peppermintsugar]

Oh no, I made it very, very, clear that I hated the competitive fighting game scene when my boyfriend and I first started going out, and it actually caused a LOT of turbulence in the relationship for the first like, six months.
Even now, sometimes we can't see eye to eye, but I'll always have an interest in competitive fighting games.
I don't pretend to like anything I don't like.

Maybe those guys are gay... what do they do that girls like to do?

Once in awhile I will pretend to be interested in something that my boyfriend loves, but it isn't because i'm afraid he'll leave me. I do it because he just seems so happy when i'm "interested".

On the other hand, i'm sure his "interest" when we go to the Louis Vuitton store together is completely feigned.

Like, the tournament scene, professionally and whatnot.

[HaplessChild]

I won't pretend to actually be interested in the topic but interested in hearing what the guy has to say. There's a difference there.

[d00lie]

um i don't think i've had that but there has been instances when a person is like oh i like to play basketball or something. and i never hated nor liked it but began to be interested?

[wendaYYY]

This male friend of mine really wanted to get with this chick. So he bloody researched everything about her, EVERY detail about her favourite entertainment.

He asked her out on a coffee date, and basically regurgitated everything he knew about her favourite movie, lullabied her with her favourite song and raved about her favourite book. (when in fact he hated all of it).

Basically, she didn't realise the manipulation going on and fell head over heels for him!! AHAHAHAHAS.

He confessed later, funnily enough. Then they broke up.

[RYUUSEi]

I was on a date with this guy a few months ago, and somehow the topic of videogames came up (surprise, surprise). My phone started ringing and my cellphone tune is the MGS II theme, so I started laughing recalling a scene in that game. He had mentioned he was a big fan of MGS in the past, so I briefly told him which scene I was referring to and he started laughing along with me while nodding his head so I (obviously) assumed he knew what I meant. Then I remember asking him something more about the game and he was like, " ... Um, I haven't actually gotten around to playing it yet." And I was just flabbergasted, like what the hell. Why are you laughing along with me if you don't even know what the heck I'm talking about, you bafoon!

It's not cute at all. In fact, I get really turned off when I find out a guy has been lying about sharing the same interests as me, so I would never pull that stunt on guys. How embarressing if I got caught lying?

[duntellmi]

Haha that was bad.
If its me, I don't usually do that, cos I think we should be able to find something we both like. I only tried it once, I liked this guy, but we lack topics so I asked him to tell me more about his passion. He didn't stop. =D Major success for me, that.

[PRRRETTYGLiTTERRR]

its annoying?? lol i thought guys wanted us to do that ... my boy likes video games so i play with hims ometimes or dance in front of the tv hahha he gets annoyed and moves his head to see the screen >< lols ..

[PH4T]

i think i've always been blunt with my boyfriend when i didn't like something. sometimes we'll discuss our interests and we'll tell each other straight up when we don't find things interesting.

[forgottenmemories]

No, why would anyone do that? I don't need to pretend to like something just so my boyfriend could stay with me. But thank goodness my boyfriend and I have the same tastes in almost everything.

[Hakiri]

No that never really happened to me before with my exes. I like videogames a lot, and I like a lot of outdoorsy stuff that my ex liked too. I didn't like soccer much, but I gave it a go, and I ended up actually genuinely liking it. It's amazing what trying something new can do!

[soniadai<3ftisland]

no, usually once i get used to it,
i start liking it more and more, i look at the brightside.
my boyfriend is madly in love with cars and fishing.
i know nothing about cars, but when he has something that he wants to share,
i listen and if its interesting, i ask him more about it. and so on, i learn a lot more and now i can actuallly identify cars.
and so on
i don't know how to fish, but i love just sitting back and talking with my boyfriend.
