Boyfriend doesn't like TV

Femanon here, I've been with this guy for about two years. He's the best guy I've ever been with in almost every way. Only weird thing is I can't get him hooked on any TV shows. I've tried everything, action, comedy, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, great shows, bad shows.... He'll sit with me and watch for a bit just to spend time with me, but it always bores him. I love him and want to stay with him but I feel like we're missing an important connection here and I'm not sure if this will cause problems down the road.

Is this normal? I kinda feel like I'm overreacting, not everyone has the same hobbies after all. But not liking ANY tv shows at all? Isn't that a little out there?

You really think tv is an important connection? it's an escape, he wants to be with you. that's far better than being brain dead together watching slop

>I feel like we're not connect because he doesn't like x TV series
Have you tried having a personality?

What other stuff does he like to do?
I don't like TV either. I watched some when I was younger and I do have older shows I like but it's hard for me to just sit down and watch TV now. I don't think it's common but it's not unheard of. The only shows I watch are Survivor and Big Brother but those appeal to me as games. Scripted TV really does nothing for me.

Show him granny porn

What kinds of media does he like? Personally I don't really like TV and movies, I like books better, just prefer written words to spoken. My boyfriend is obsessed with Youtube and I find that a little boring. It's okay if you don't like the same media.

Try asking him what about TV he doesn't like. For example, I have a hard time keeping track of many faces. Tried watching Game of Thrones and I had no idea who most of the characters were by the end of season 1, so I was bored and stopped. Maybe it's something like that, where he'd have an easier time with animation. Or maybe he just doesn't like audiovisual media. Have you tried movies? Or just TV?

It's not like we don't do lots of other stuff too. There's plenty of other stuff we do together all the time.

I guess I'm more so wondering if this could be a sign if some kind of personality disorder or something. I've never met someone who didn't like TV.

I should probably also mention that he hardly drinks either. He says he's been drunk once in his whole life, he "didn't care for it" and has never even been buzzed since. He'll have a glass of wine with me every now and then but that's it.

None of this is really a bad thing I guess, like I said I'm mainly wondering if this could be part of some personality disorder. My friends say it sounds really weird to them, and they've never met somebody like this either.

>I can't get him hooked on any TV shows
wtf is wrong with you

>doesnt watch tv and doesnt drink
you found yourself a fantastic man, this isnt a personality disorder its called being disciplined

He likes music, SOME movies, podcasts, and some YouTube videos (though he'll never watch a series or real show). On rare occasions he'll play a video game for a little bit and I'll tease him for it.

I guess so. You guys are probably right. I think I just got freaked out a little. One of my other guy friends (NOT romantic) has been saying he's worried about me and that guys who are like my boyfriend usually turn out to be serial killers or rapists or over-controlling.

I think this might be a ploy by your guy friend to make a big deal out of nothing and ruin your relationship so he can get in your pants.
My boyfriend can’t read as many books as me because of his attention problems but we still have interesting conversations and discuss topics we have a mutual interest in. It’s important to have shared hobbies but that doesn’t mean all your hobbies have to be identical. As long as TV isn’t a massively significant part of your life, I don’t see why this would be a problem.

bitch I know you're trolling here, but I'm another guy who doesn't watch t.v. Do you know why that iis? It's because I have better things to do with my time. Time is your most valuable commodity. Do you think I want to spend it watching inance garbage for women and retards?

Most tv is shit these days Im not surprised. Also lol at your guy 'friend'''' being worried about you. Worried about how to get into your pants lmao.

Figure out what he watched in the past and why he liked them. Figure out his tastes basically. I kind of think in the same way but it's mainly because the stories just aren't stimulating enough, or the acting is subpar, or because it seems like the plot inst teaching you any special kind of lesson or making you feel certain things. He's probably the kind of guy that subconsciously breaks down everything in his mind.
If he really does like you though he'll probably watch anything as long as it's with you

Son of a bitch... That actually makes sense. He always complained about being single and everything but I never thought he'd try to sabotage my relationship. I've been friends with him since middle school.

I'm not sure what to do. A part of me just wants to ghost him completely. Another part of me wants to kick his ass.

Have you tried to do nasty things under the blanket? If yes; TV is nothing for him. Just like me. If no; try it!!!

Ok, so I called my "friend" and asked him what he meant. I talked about all the great things about my bf and he said "he doesn't respect you like a real man would". I asked him who a real man is. He fumbled a bit, went on some weird tangent, and then out of nowhere confessed that he's been in love with me as long as he's known me. I told him how shitty and manipulative he was to try and sabotage the best relationship of my life and that he doesn't love anyone but himself. I hung up and blocked him on everything. Gonna tell my bf tonight after work.

Looking back I'm starting to see how creepy and toxic this guy has been all along. So, thanks anons, I think you might have actually really improved my life.

hahaha well shit, fucking orbiter had it coming
on topic, get better hobbies than watching TV

Nice!

I don’t watch tv either, it bores me to no end, at best it annoys me. I don’t see the appeal. I like nature and reading books or build something. If i sit in front of a screen it’s for video games. I think this is pretty normal as no one has called me weird yet.

Checked

But to think were it not for the advice of online strangers, a girl would have fallen for manipulation, and gotten worried over her bf having a fucking personality disorder just because he didn't like watching tv. Then he might've been dumped out of nowhere and he wouldn't have had a clue why as his now ex-gf talks about him having a personality disorder and how he doesn't watch tv. How bad would that have been.

women are ridiculously picky, nothing new

>trying to make your bf watch tv and failing
Do you feel in control?

>orbiter just wanted to fuck you and wasn't really interested
Get that hothead out of here

Your bf is a big guy for not needing to drink or watch tv. Now is not the time for doubt. Sometimes some relationships just don't get to share certain hobbies.

Sneed

This sounds too good to be true. I say bait, this whole thread, bait.
If not, OP, does your bf read?

Show him baby driver and he'll understand

>Boyfriend doesn't like TV
Based

Your friends are absolute retards if they think not liking the prolefeed is a 'red flag'. Also, men and women can't be friends.

>things that never happened

OP is delusional. Take her to the infirmary.

You realize that humans have had TV for like 70 years of their 250,000+ year existence, right? What do you think couples did before the 1950s? Stare at a wall together?

Take a walk, read together, learn instruments and make music together, go bird watching, do literally anything else besides staring at a fucking glowing box for hours at a time. JFC this isn't that hard.

>if it weren't for an anime image board, I might have been tricked into dumping my boyfriend because he doesn't watch television like the rest of my normie friends do

It sounds like he should be the one to dump you desu

The fuck?
You realize most people from small country towns don't watch TV. It's something people in cities do because they have boring as fuck lives.

This sounds so fucking retarded. You're lying, aren't you?

Always read the whole fucking thread before replying friend.

I have the same problem with my girlfriend, except it's D&D. She claims she doesn't hate, but refuses to ever play and has zero inretest in learning how to play.

>Survivor and Big Brother
>Not scripted
Pick one.

I understand this viewpoint but only like one in ten seasons ends with someone likable and deserving winning the game. Last season of Survivor alone is enough to forever dispel any argument that it is rigged, the show is too unsatisfying to be rigged

your guy friend wants you to break up with your bf so he can fuck you. its textbook.

it's actually the other way around
there's fuckshit to do in Bumfuck, Alabama but watch TV and fuck your cousins

It's called "going outside."

t. former Bumfuck resident

which city people do everyday...?

I live in the middle of nowhere and what normies do here is go hunting, horn hunting, fishing, rock climbing, shit like that. And drink of course.

Okay, I know I'm retarded for buying this guy's shit or whatever. Anyway, update. My boyfriend got off work early and came over then a few minutes later my "friend" knocks on the door. My boyfriend answers and the guy takes off so I start talking to him about everything that happened and after a while the police show up saying they got an anonymous tip about a domestic disturbance at my address and just came to make sure everything was okay. I'm fucking livid at this point and explain to them what happened and I want to file harassment charges. My boyfriend stops me and says he'll try talking to him first. The police leave and so now my bf is on the phone with the guy

This is very true. Guys do this shit constantly.

That sounds cool. Way better than city normies

Girls that watch tv is a red flag for me.

You should break up and find someone who also thinks television is a hobby.

Your friend's a normie incel. Fuck him file the charges.

>police show up saying they got an anonymous tip about a domestic disturbance at my address
kill all normalfags, holy shit

>tfw Jow Forums actually helps someone

Fpbp

Fem brainlets cant understand why men dont want to watch their brainwashing bullshit TV

But TV is shit and for retarded normies.

Only good TV show that has ever existed is Twin Peaks.

Pick a new hobby and bond over it instead.

terrible fucking bait
