I don't mind looking for women who are different from me. Some of my previous girlfriends were very different from me and we got along very well. I wrote my reply based on the claim that I should join some social groups or something to heighten the chances of randomly meeting someone new. If you assume that is the way to do it, then the dilemma is (a) it's not very efficient because most people doing the activity aren't really a good match and are just trying to do the activity, and (b) all the activities that actually make me happy are male-dominated and even anti-correlated with popular depictions (depictions that are borne out in the data too, e.g. when OKCupid posts their data) of what women want in a man. If you disregard the suggestion of needing to use social hobbies as a means for finding a date, then I agree with you, and finding people who are different from me has been the primary way in which I have had previous relationships.
