In most cases, men and women don’t have the same interests and pleasures. It’s unfair and unrealistic to crate an expectation which isn’t often the case. And the pursuit of it is also unhealthy. If it’s there, then it’s maybe a bonus. They might however enjoy each others company even without sharing interests. I can explain this but it’s rather lengthy and technical, Suffice it to say that in looking for a shidduch, one should not be looking for sharing recreational interests, as long as their background and personalities are basically compatible and they share values, not pleasures. They should be looking for a fine person with whom they would have a common goal and with whom they could have a caring and growing relationship.
