[QUOTE="Dirt, post: 947829, member: 6209"] You have to appreciate the humor in this...gamers, a largely socially inept breed, are debating what constitutes a good relationship! Comical! Having read the other posts, I'd like to say this: People with varied interests can indeed find that they compliment someone who does not share all of their interests. But, I find no reason to deride those who wish to find common ground. If gaming is an important part of your life, find someone else who games! I find no reason to ridicule that. I'm not religious, but I find wisdom in seeking out others who share your religious belief. If you are a devout christian/muslim/bla bla bla, then find someone with similar interests. So, why would your hobby be any different? Above all else, your significant other should share at least SOME of your beliefs (I define "beliefs" rather broadly here). I agree with Buttercup. If you have many similar interests, all the better! I can't imagine a relationship where I had very little in common with the other person, or wasn't willing to invest time in their interests. I don't find that lack of common interests gives me something to talk about. I find that common interests, on the other hand, DO. [/QUOTE]
