Because it's a stupid idea to assume you will get along with someone just because they share the same bizzare hobby you do.

It's a greater expression of love if they support/tolerate your hobby even if they have no interest in it.

My husband and I were introduced by a friend because we were both Trekkies. 11 years and 2 kids later, I think he knew what he was doing.

Hey, if it worked out, that's a wonderful thing! I wasn't implying that a hobby can't be a way to meet new people.

I'm just saying that a hobby can't be the only thing that keeps a couple together. I've seen too many examples of people who met a cute person with the same hobby and afterwards had the idea that it was ok to try to shoehorn the other person's character into a shape that was convenient to them. Because in their pov as long the hobbies matched the rest was something you could just change.

More stupid than regular dating sites, where the basis of compatibility is usually how hot you think someone is?

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Both is stupid. In both cases you burden the other person with too much expectations.

But to be fair, this is not only a problem of dating sites but a problem of how relationsships in general work today. It's not enough to just have a girlfriend/boyfriend. Your significant other also has to be your best friend, your at all times to be available sexmate and a human version of xanax -> making sure that you're feeling good and entertained all the time and to never burden you with any kind of negativity.

Physical attraction is important. It's not the only important thing and static pictures on a computer screen aren't always a good way to see what someone looks like (says someone who oes NOT photograph well) but it can't be dismissed as shallow and insignificant.

Agreed! It's not that people necessarily all look for the "hottest" person, either, but you need to feel some kind of attraction for the person you're going to enter into a romantic relationship with.

Uhh most dating sites have compatibility algorithms. Have you actually been on like... OKCupid? It's based on your answers to 100s of different questions.

"Because it's a stupid idea to assume you will get along with someone just because they share the same bizzare hobby you do."

*nods*

And nevermind dating, just think of all the people you end up *hating* in fandom, even though you have a common interest.
