For things, interpret that any way you will. Liking the same sports and hobbies, having the same beliefs and values? Liking the same types of movies and music genres. Whatever. Similar personality type, even?
I was thinking, how important is it, really? Say if you had a friend who liked all the exact same things as you. The same TV shows, the same music, read the same authors, so you always had something to talk about. But, this person was annoying and often acted like a jerk toward you. Then say if you had a friend who you really liked being with, but you had virtually nothing in common. You could never go to the same bars, watch movies or TV together, or discuss an issue in the news that didn't interest them. Which would be best, out of these?
I was thinking, because my ex-girlfriend didn't really have anything in common with me in terms of intrests. We had no common music taste, no hobbies we could share, or even films or books we had both enjoyed. No political issues which intrested her at all. And I really would like a gf who enjoyed some of the same things I did. But then, I am just being super picky, and super petty? We didnt break up cause of this - we were not suited in personality either. Should it matter at all , do you think?
It got me thing today, because I was going to buy a Naruto DVD in Virgin. And I was thinking about McJ, he loves Naruto, and loves talking about it, but does he have real life friends who like it? Does his wife love it like him? Does he care about that, or his he happy just watching it on his own, and chatting online?
I think that I have met people with similar intrests to me who I didn't particulary get on with, and I have dear friends who I don't have that much in common with. But when I have a good friendship and similar intrests, I really like it. Should it matter, do you think? It is something worth looking for?
