We have two weekend days to catch up on our errands, priorities, or hobbies. There are a finite number of hours in a day and a week. I know it’s not popular to say this - especially since it would seem to condemn many of my readers, but, well, I’ve got to follow the truth where it leads. I know I could just search for guys who are more low-key and into things I’m into but when these sporty/outdoorsy guys message me, should I ignore them? It seems they are the only ones messaging me and they have other good qualities so I don’t know if I’m wasting my time or not if I go out with them. I understand every guy needs hobbies and that’s great but these guys always mention that they want a woman who shares their interests and I don’t like any of those things, in fact, I can’t do most of them because of health issues and lack of any athletic ability. However, most of the guys I meet online have hobbies that include things like extreme hiking, skiing, biking, four-wheeling, etc. I know that the most important things to look for in a man are his character and how he treats me.
