    I feel like if "you have everything in common" it would be hard to be simultaneously "boring" like you'd probably get along rather well... Given that..ya know... You have everything in common an all..

    But i mean... I get what the question is trying frame, I think it's just difficult to say as people will inturpate and dream up there own variations of what these rules would imply while creating there own versions of these fictional characters, when in practice, given real life situations it would be so much more complex.

    That being said, of course personality is important, and can often matter way more than looks, as truly loving someones personality often can make you start to love there looks, because you love THEM.

      a) Despite things in common, Person 1 has a different sense of humor that you do not appreciate.

      b) Despite having little in common, Person 2 has your sense of humor.

      I picked Person2. A full exposé of kooks (excluding normal person KooksNShooks) could make the evening enchantingly spooky.

        I’m not sure I’d appreciate somebody having my sense of humour. I’d be like wtf is wrong with you 🥴

          In that case, date Person 1. You seem to get along with kooks. That's why I suggested Pathology.

      At the moment? That sounds like you have plans to replace them with someone else in the future.

        Ya that does sound like the implication given. However, she could also be saying that she plans to change her boyfriends attitude.

          Yeah that's it. He's kinda fallen on some hard times. A year ago he broke the bone in his knee again, lost his teaching job due to the pandemic, gained some weight from being immobile, and he's trying to figure out what he can do. I'm helping him out. XD

            How does a teacher lose their job because of the pandemic? even in Corruptifornia, no teacher lost their job over the virus.

              He was laid off for months, then was let go along with a few other educators. We're both from NY.

    I chose person 2 because person 1 had too many friends for my taste

      That's reasonable, especially if that person has too many friends that would prioritize them over you.

    Dating someone who's no 2. Going extremely well probably will marry them.

    Person 1 because I have to find him physically attractive or no point at all, plus I wouldn't be in a relationship for comedy, other things can make me laugh besides boys.

        It's a very important question for the answer. They are boring, but in what manner? What type of boring are they? Is it just that they are unfunny, because if that's the case, it's not particularly important. Are they boring to talk to, and in what manner are they boring to talk to, if they are?

          I agree. Most people seeming boring is because they care about different things, and yet the question explicitly says the boring one cares about the same things.

            That's where I am confused, too. I think I would enjoy being around someone I had a lot in common with and it would be hard to get bored. Maybe unless the person always wants to talk about or do the same things all the time with no variation? That's all I can think of. I do have a close friend I have tons in common with, but he definitely has a "bubble" he doesn't want to leave and is not interested in trying new things or meeting new people, so hanging out can be a bit repetitive since it's always the same stuff over and over, but we always find ways to have fun and things to talk about still (and we both make each other laugh like crazy).

          • Clunk42

            Yeah, I would provide an answer to the question, but I don't know what "boring" means in this context. Like you said, most people think others are boring because they don't care about the same. Like, I think my brother's boring, because he doesn't seem to care about anything. From my experience, talking to someone I have a lot in common with is a lot more entertaining than someone who doesn't have much in common with me. So, if the correct answer to the question is actually wanted, it's really important to first answer the question, "How are they boring?"

              Maybe they mean boring like she doesnt drink, doesnt wanna go out and do anything, sucks in bed, shes not fun, she just wants to sit around in silence

      maybe you'd love person 1 to slit your throat while person 1 has sex with you lol.

    Person 1, I'm a surface type into the looks. Besides I'm happy where I'm at in life, she would just be a play toy and gone in a few months. Person 2 would most likely be a long term friend not nessisarily a date or sex partner.

    Neither. Ive dated 2 and and it ended horrible. Never dated 1. Sounds miserable though

  • S0UNDS_WEIRD

    Common interests are most important to me so I guess person 1, but it's unusual for me that the person with common interests would be boring to me.

    Really this feels rather paradoxical.

    Also I'm not really sure why friend count is even relevant; what is this, a high school popularity contest?

    #1, looks are more important than anything. The friends are a problem though - you need to isolate the person from their social circle so you can have them all to yourself.

    I'm much more interested in common goals and values in a potential mate than the entertainment factor.

    Person number 1. Looks are very important to me. And if we have a lot in common thats better than if she can make me laugh.

    Person 2, I dont even like social people with lots of friends (ive tried but since im not like that I always get left behind by such people until they're bored, remember that I exist and wants to see me then), but only if we have things in common. Which we likely would if they're an introvert too.

    Neither because I don't date but if I did, Person 2. Looks fade but personality is forever. Most good lookers are arrogant and too full of themselves.
