Two girls were talking about their significant others and the one girl was upset because her lover was so passionate about his hobbies that she felt neglected, the other girl said she was jealous because her man had no passions about anything. It was like he just existed. . .

Which one would you prefer in a partner?

I don't know why having a hobby makes you passionate about anything except that particular hobby. It also depends on what the hobby is. If its popping bubble wrap all day long I would run for the hills.If it was something like working on cars or playing Golf ,something like that then I would handle that better.

And why does not having a hobby make you not be passionate?

Passionate! I can't imagine not having passion in life.

But do you need a hobbey to be passionate?
You can be passionate about many things that aren't a hobbey can't you?

This is why I am attracted to women who dont mind gettin their hands dirty and helping me work on mototcycles. This way she is spending quality time with me, being a part of my passion. This only serves to inhance my passion for her.
In return I make it a point to participate in her passion as well.
Getting involved in what ever your partner is passionate about only makes life together.....

Better!!!

Just why were these girls with those guys in the first place? What did each guy have that attracted his girl in the first place?

I would want a man to be as passionate towards me as he is towards his other passions, but to have none at all...does a person without passions serve a purpose?


Of course one can serve a purpose yet lack passion.


Aside from surviving, what is his/her purpose without passion?


How would lack of passion prevent one from fulfilling their purpose?


How would they know their purpose is the question? If they are not passionate about it, how will they recognize it?


There's many things I'm not passionate about that I know I must do. I don't think you have to have passion to know your responsibilities and obligations.


Exactly though, I said aside from surviving...responsibility and obligations are part of survival though. Then what?

A hobbie does not make you passionate, the other girl just said, at least he has a passion, because her man had none.

If a mans ONLY passion is you, could that turn into possessiveness? I don't think passionate people limit their passions to a specific hobby, I think people who are passionate are passionate in many avenues of their lives, it's the way their heart is configured.

Survival is more like eating, drinking, protecting yourself. Responsibility and obligation is not exactly life or death things, but things that need to be done none the less.

This may not be as cut and dried as you may think.....

The example that leaps to mind is paintball.

Myself and quite a few good friends and alot of local law enforcement use to play paintball fairly regularly at my good friends 4 acre paintball field. 2 two-story forts with cannons. Lots of bunkers and 20+ of us that shot 13 rounds per second.

At first the wives were supportive...they were invited and would come picnic while they guys and kids played. Rarely a woman would suit up and shoot too. (once they got a stinger they never played again)

Before too long it was very evident that the women resented that thier men could have so much fun with something that they didn't like...

So...we aren't allowed to play any more.

Responsibility and obligation are what make survival possible. I'm not saying you have to be passionate about your work, god knows many people hate their jobs, they do it, because they have to. I'm just saying, would (indivual response requested) would you want a person with at least some passion rather than no passion? It's hard because some people are obsessive and possessive, but they are raging with passion, while some who have none, are not in touch with the emotions the way others are. For some couples their other half is their passion. There a people though who are plain unmotivated and un-passionate. Blah.

Well, that's their dilemma, she feels neglected because his passion is not her, but the other chic is jealous of her, because her man is a couch potato who has no passion for a "sport" or "hobby" let alone her. A man who can show passion towards something will surely have deeper emotional connection to her, I would think, but that is only my opinion. By having some passion shows a person can have an emotional connection to something,
