How does TV viewing affect your dating life/relationship? Turn on/Turn off? Does hearing that someone watches certain types of shows make you less likely to date them? Do you expect to spend time together in front of the tv?

What show would you not give up for a relationship?

It is like any other pleasure. I would prefer that we could share similar tastes in viewing.

I am certain that over time there will be plenty of nights that we crash & hang in... especially in the winter.

There are plenty of good stories out there & excellent writing on television these days.

I might have to compromise from time to time & watch the occassional reality show... or look through my mail while she does.

I'd have trouble with tv shows re money. I can follow basic things like our exchange rate against different countries (US is always listed first for some reason) and ideas about how to invest money (assuming I have it to invest!); but when they start getting into equities and negative gearing investments etc ... wow, my head aches!

I guess it's a turn on. I watch TV, so I don't have issues dating someone who does.

Someone who is really into reality shows could be an issue.

Don't know if I expect to spend time together watching tv. There is some stuff I like to watch and if the other person wants to watch with me so be it.

Can't think of a show I'd not give up for a relationship. Being forced to choose between a relationship and Battlestar Galactica during it's broadcast run would have been a tough one.

It is a turn on for me. I watch TV, but sometimes it is background noise. I sometimes go weeks without watching a show that I like so I would not mind if I missed a few episodes. If my guy did not like a show I like to watch I would just watch it in another room or watch it later on the internet; no big deal. I would not hold his opinion about a TV show against him .

I have to admit that if a woman is a reality TV junkie, my opinion of her tends to decrease. Especially if that's the only intellectual stimulation she gets on a regular basis. Turn that crap off and go read a book.
