why is taking interest in what others like insincere? if i ask a little kid to tell me about their favorite cartoon character, is that insincere too? if my wife wants us to watch a romantic movie together, am i being insincere if i don't dismiss it as uninteresting? being interested in what other people enjoy is not insincere at all. it is in fact required if we want to build any sort of relationship with them. you don't have to like it. and you don't have to watch all of it. but you can take an interest without being insincere.
