Would it be a dealbreaker if you were with someone that wouldn't participate in your activities or you eventually realized that your lifestyles in that respect were not the same? Say that person was trying too but perhaps not trying enough for what you want.
Well if our lifestyles conflict, then that really is a no-go I would think. As far as the other person participating in my activities, no - that would not be a dealbreaker. I like to run, and I'm a bit of a gym rat. And honestly I prefer to do those activities solo, so as long as my guy has his own exercise program - that works.
I wouldn't consider culinary ability to be that vital, as I'm a fairly good cook myself.
As regards physical activity, there are admittedly worse traits than an addiction to physical fitness, but not many. I'm 6 feet tall, and slim, but would find it purgatory to be stuck with a health and fitness nut.
As in so many things, there is no right and wrong. Purely a matter of compatability.
I love to cook, so it's important that my spouse be open to various types of foods, and eat healthy. Physically active is important, it makes you feel and look good.

Cooking is part of survival (don't like to order out or go to restaurants. Too much money being spent and I like home cooked meals). A guy should at least know how to toast bread, lol. Since I'm skinny, it would be nice to be with a skinny person.
I try to eat healthy and stay physically active. The last thing I want is a partner would be a bad influence and always want to eat junk or stay at home in front of the TV. I don't need a partner who's a good cook or one who cooks for me, just one who's willing to cook healthy meals instead of getting takeout or eating stuff you throw in a microwave.
My husband said wanting a good cook was never a consideration, and now it would be.

IMHO the two are not remotely related. Cooking and eating healthy do not have to go hand in hand. I know plenty of guys who eat well, sort of a raw veggie caveman approach. Eating healthy, I care about. Cooking? If he doesn't cook, that is fine. I can cook, he can do the dishes.
Physically active? Very important. I don't care if he plays sports, but he should enjoy some form of activity to keep fit. One that we could do together, like biking/hiking/yoga is cool also.
If a woman cooks great. Not an end all. If a lady keeps themselves physically, to me it tells me they are taking care of themselves mentally. the inner expressed by the external.
All a lady really has to do though is not let themselves go.. a rare breed it seems.
