Dating Site Question

Dating Site Question
I'm on quite a few different dating sites around the internet. As my profile says I'm exploring my options. One of the sites has 1000s of questions you can answer to help give you insight, and a better idea if that person is someone you'd be compatible with. A question that I thought was an easy "yes" I've discovered is often answered "no" by many of the men whose profiles I've read. I always thought compromise and willingness to do something to please your partner was something men would want women to think they're capable of. Apparently some men are honest enough to admit they don't think that way. I suppose it's good they warn us ahead of time. If they all did it would certainly eliminate disappoint we inevitably may encounter.

Here's the question I've seen answered "no" numerous times:

Are you willing to sit with your mate and watch their favorite TV show with them, even if it's one that you can't stand?

 It depends whether she's got any clothes on! Just joking. Life is about give and take. If I expect her to watch, say a program on restoring cars or motorcycles then there is no reason why she shouldn't expect me to watch a program on house cleaning/ redecorating or the like. If you are friends first, then its no big deal. It widens one's perspectives and gives area's with which to discuss. And yes, I would like a woman to hand me wrenches while I'm working on her car, not inside drinking coffee, sitting talking on the phone.

    Maybe, it depends. As a general question without context, I'd say no. Do you really find a guy that will do anything you want attractive?

I would find a girl that will do anything I want very attractive.

Was that a rhetorical question?

Non-committal and not just your answers.

    Turn the question around:

    Are you the kind of person that would make your mate sit and watch television shows with you that you know they can't stand?

    Doesn't sound like a very attractive quality viewed from the other end of the lens either, does it?

    The truth is, not everything between two people can be shared. There comes a point when the interest level is too imbalanced to make the imposition. Important things call for compromise, but TV? How important can that be, really?

    When it comes to TV, this is why DVRs were invented. Since we got one, I haven't had to sit through another episode of American Idol, my wife and I are both happier for that. Football season goes the other way around, to choose an example from the other direction. There's plenty of things we enjoy together, we don't feel like we have to force/require togetherness on the occasions when it's not a shared taste.
Being a question on a dating site it surprised me that men would answer that way when they're trying to attract women. Not an obligation to always watch what your mate is watching, but it's the willingness to please someone and share something they like even though it's not your favorite thing to do I feel is the point of the question. As I said...compromise.

 I've done it and watched as much of it as they wanted. It's more of who you are with than what you are watching.

 I'd probably read while she watched her show.

 I guess it depends on how active the watching is. Does it mean sitting next to one another and not doing anything else? Or does it mean being in the same room together each doing their own thing? DVRs, multiple tvs, etc helps solve this. If sitting together making someone uncomfortable is how a person bases a relationship...just don't think its going to work out. Togetherness is fine, but every moment adjoined at the hip is not healthy.

 Can we watch the show naked, and play during commercials?

Of course
