For instance same taste in music, activities, etc or dosent it matter? Would you want your woman to be your exact likeness as far as interests?

purely case by case.
in many instances, you can accept a difference that you normally would not, because of other more dominantly attractive qualities.
if you look for the partner with the same interests, the opposites that may be the perfect one slip by.
case by case.
woman by woman
man by man

It is good to have interests together, especially if you had a hobby that was taking most of your time when you were single - like sports, for example. But even if you don't share interests, it's still very possible to have a successful marriage. Take me - my husband an I are so different as far as personality is concerned. I'm introvert, he's extrovert. He loves to go out, meet people, talk and be action all the time. I love to stay home, read books, watch TV and have just a few trusted friends to talk to. He is bold, decisive, sceptival, task-oriented, loves dressing well, wants a beautiful home. I'm sensitive, empathetic, people-oriented, care more about meaning that about looks, trusting. But we make a good couple. Actually I chose him exactly because he is so different from me. I couldn't stand to live with a person that resembles me a lot. On the other hand, we do have common ground and that's our way of thinking and perception of life. We are both practical, reasonable, follow Christian values, share the same principles, are equal when it comes to education and intelligence, have the same views about spending money and raising children so that is a very strong basis for life together. Interests seem to come after those things and they do give us pleasurable moments together - we like watching movies together, shopping, going to exotic restaurants, discussing a good book, having a good converstaion with friends. So a successful relationship is much more complicated than just shared interests.

It is better to have some things in common and some things different. Being exactly the same is good for some people, but I found it nice to have a variety of personality differing from my own around, yet have common interests as well.

A man prefers a woman who both shares his interests and has interests of her own. This makes her interesting and well rounded. For example. my husband loves baseball, I fall asleep during sports. I love to garden, he's not a gardner but when it's time to hit the road and find new places to dine out, we practically race to the car to enjoy restaurants together. Sometimes, we even rent a room and enjoy the town together in a mini-vacation. When we come home, it's the garden for me and the tv for him. (lol)
But those mornings when we wake up steps from the beach, cuddling, ahhhh, I wouldn't trade those times for all the tea in China.

ummm actually it would be cool for the girl to have a lot of the likes i have, but she doesnt have to totally like everythin i like because then it would get boring not exploring other things, two similar people wont always be happy or have fun because they like the same things , sure you might say thats a good thing that you like the same things but not when it comes to a long term relationship kinda thing because sooner or later you both will get tired of each other . Nothing new and exciting in both of your lives.... get what im saying. hence why its always better when opposites attract cause you both can always try different things that you each individually like to do , try new things.

I think so... A man would prefer woman who would interest him... like someone they can be with when they do sports or likes to eat the same food

My husband and I are similar 30% and the rest is opposite and believe me, Im really glad that I ended up with someone opposite to me. He is too, its fun to learn to get to know things that you normally wouldnt. So my answer to you is, take someone who is almost opposite to you but not quite. Besides, if you wanted someone the same as you you might as well talk to a mirror!

It is always better to select a partner with similar interest.
It helps each other to adjust any simple or complicated situations.

I wouldn't mind what her interests are .... as long as we get along and enjoy each other....... but when it comes to music I would NEVER date a chic if she listened to rap and thought she was "gansta" that would just show that she has a f'd up personality and is just a fake.
