I'm surprised no one else has responded to this yet, so here goes:
Personally, when I am in a relationship I need to have my own pursuits/interests and I need the guy to be the same.
This also for opinions - I don't think it would really work between me and a guy if he and I had very strong opposing viewpoints (eg politics) but it keeps things interesting if you don't just keep saying "Yeah you're right love" all the time either!
As for interests/pursuits its nice to share interests, but we both need our own friends/space/hobbies - I am not one for wanting to be joined at the hip, as it were.

Well yeah......if MR PERFECT had pet spiders........nah, he'd suddenly become MR WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER hahahahaha.

As has been said it would be nice to find someone who enjoyed "some" of the same stuff that you did, but I certainly wouldn’t want someone who liked all the same things. I can’t think of anything more boring than finding a carbon copy, ..after all it’s the individual differences that people bring into a relationship that keeps things exciting and open your eyes to new things.

Think you are right there Ann-Marie!

well i like to shag a lot so i'll ve happy finding someone who likes that as much as i do, ....sod all other stuff i can live with that

I seriously doubt that there is someone out there with much common with me.....
