I've been experiencing the same kind of conversations and coming across the same kind of profiles and profile pictures. A lot of people have the same kind of hobbies and describe themselves in the same kind of way. From the guy's side I hear they come across the same kind of quotes from women's dating profile. And when I go on dates people like to talk about their work and their benefits and their company. When I chat with my girl friends they talk about their family and family issues. I can imagine they do the same while on dates maybe. It's great to have hobbies, a family, and a job but it seems like most people think alike. In that case it almost doesn't matter who you date. Then you start to just go for their looks because what else is there to distinguish them by?
I'm not saying I'm the most interesting person but I certainly don't try to be unlike most people I come across. I'm just finding the usual adult conversation to be boring as heck. What are some things you like to talk about that spice things up that aren't sex related?
And don't give me the whole "you're only bored if you're boring" crap. That is obviously not true and you're being lazy if you give me that lame excuse so might as well not bother posting that.
Hmm, this is a tough one. I generally find conversations interesting. Let's see, the last couple of interesting things I talked about with someone? Or things I thought were interesting to discuss lately.
1. last concert I went to
2. urban walking tours
3. museum exhibit
4. airbnb regulations on the ballot
5. emojis with more skin tone variations
6. cocktails using fancy foams and the like
7. gentrification
8. next door and the crazy posts I see on it
9 weird ice cream flavors
10. the increase in the number of fancy diners in town: now with organic maple syrup and organic artisan pancakes
11. strange happenings in job interviews (like the guy who told me he was looking for a girlfriend who was spicy like jalepenos.)
12. favorite childhood cartoons or tv shows
13. favorite atari/nintendo/gameboy games
14. tag variations you played as a kid (we played toilet tag and cartoon tag)
I am pretty random, but maybe this gives you some ideas.
I think life in general is somewhat boring...sadly life is a routine, work, school etc. most people spend most of their life at both....a lot of times dating is boring because you may not be clicking with the person or they do something that turns you off...but I totally get what your saying..

When I was younger, I was interested in great conversations and getting to know people because they're different.
Now, I feel as you describe. It's better to date for looks. People are glued to their smartphones and spit out whatever is hot or making the circuit on Facebook. Not much to distinguish them by.

I mostly do too. I really don't care to talk about the woman's job or my job on dates. Talking about free time activities are better. The early stages of dating are pretty boring until you are spending time naked with each other.

Not at all! Meeting new people, talking to new people, making connections. There is nothing boring about it.
