I don't understand the obsession a lot of people seem to have with demanding that their significant other can do the same line of work (or even have the same hobby), like in #32 and 33: > People who have home server 32. Wish * Linux (required)! > People who let me play with the home server 33. (Required) Can someone explain that to me? I hear that sentiment a lot, but almost exclusively from engineers and programmers. -------------- On the other hand I'm kind of pleased to find one thing among the list that I consider perhaps the important qualification, albeit worded a bit oddly (not sure how it reads in the native language though): > [#27] Who have mastered one or more hobbies outside of work I don't think an SO has to do or like the same things as me, though similar domestic likes help (ie, like to cook). But I think this point, that you care about something, anything really, is very important. Though I guess I need to go one further than that even. You have to make things. You could care about and make poetry, or papercraft, or sandcastles, or haskell libraries or ballet or gardens or anything. But just caring about something and making things seem so wildly important to me. I wish I could better articulate why.
