So you don't like it because he doesn't enjoy the same hobby as you? Kind of shallow isn't it? Men usually need visual and physical stimulation to really enjoy something (such as films, porn, video games, sport etc), women do not derive as much pleasure from these stimuli, hence the preponderance of male artists, athletes, gamers. Obviously this is not a universal trait so don't fixate on that. Personally I also do not like reading fiction, I would much rather read non-fiction (if I have to read at all) such as scientific articles or the news. At least reading non-fiction develops my knowledge of the world around me and may enable me to help others in the future, rather than constantly escaping into the fictional world of books. Obviously everyone likes a good story, but this does not mean it has to be read. Stories can be watched, listened to, dreamt, imagined. Don't limit yourself by placing unwarranted value on books, look for stories everywhere.
I'm not saying I'm like "OMG HE HATES READING WE AREN'T MEANT TO BE" I just think it'd be nice if we could talk about books we enjoy. That's all. And I am making a reference to the post: if my caring boyfriend doesn't own books, is that really a reason to not sleep with him? I don't know
Personally, one of my favorite memories was holding hands with my ex while we read separate books in bed at night. We always talked about them when we were finished and often swapped books later and would have these amazing late night conversations.
Damn I miss her. :(
