Boring is subjective, boring to me might be someone else’s excitement. Usually if someone wants to spend time with you they don’t find you boring.

I can’t speak for all men but my husband finds bitchy comments, talking about TV and work boring.

Your interests do not sound inherently boring to me unless that is really all there is. The gym hobby should be transitioned to include a sport. Biking, running, skiing, hiking, martial arts. Something more interesting and fun to do as a couple. You will meet men doing any sport and some are very male dominated giving you easy pickings and low competition.

As for reading, what are you actually reading? Trash novels or actually learning? If it's just novels that doesn't add much to conversation unless you date english majors that like to hit the gym. I would suggest mixing in some ramdom non fiction in totally random subjects that could have conversation value. What is your ideal man interested in? Read about that and when you meet him you jump to the top of the list.

I think you just need to have “openess to experience”. I could be wrong, but I think when men complain about women being boring it’s more like your refusal to experience new things with him. Perhaps he likes sailing, or wants to try a new cuisine. If you have openess to experience you will join him in this and the two of you will bond over the experience. A “boring” lady might just refuse. I’m a fairly conservative homebody, so I’ve never been the life of the party so to speak. But my hubby likes to try new things and really wants me to join him, so even if I would prefer to potter around at home, I go with him with an open mind and our relationship is the better for it xo

I've always been a fan of a saying I once heard: "There are no boring lives, just bad orators." We often witness stories who's premise is mundane, yet the story itself is captivating. Conversely there are plenty of tales with granduer abounding yet are stale and dry. This is due to the fact that stories are less about the actual content and more about the emotions infused in them.

With this in mind, you can make the most mundane recountings of your life be at least tolerable with expressive, emotive storytelling. Mastering this is a great way to make yourself seem less boring.

Apart from that I'll parrot what some others have said: you should have a few hobbies you tend carefully to and enjoy.

Also, you should periodically or regularly, depending on your preference, seek new things to try or experience, and be willing to do things with others. It will make you seem more personable and provide you with fuel for conversations later on.

Hope this helps.

Far more important than constantly doing new and exciting things are having a set of hobbies that you tend to regularly (if you don't have anything other than reading, cooking, and the gym, I'd suggest you look into something else as well to make you a bit more well-rounded; add something creative to the list, eg. music/dance/art/writing, and you're good to go), and being able to maintain an interesting conversation with people. If you don't have things to say, people will consider you boring! This means being up to date on world events, being passionate about things (hence the hobbies), and being witty. Nobody thinks funny people are boring, because they bring joy to others' lives and inspire people to want to be around them. If you're not able to make people laugh, try to work on that. Obviously you don't need to become a comedian overnight, but if you're not the kind of person who can slip humour into a conversation, I would try working on that.

Boring is good. Men don't want to marry someone from sex and the city

I think boring has less to do with what you do and more to do with who you are.

Boring people have no passions, no interests. Nothing that makes them unique. They don’t add value to conversation because they have nothing unique to say.

An interesting person has hobbies, they enjoy discussing things, maybe they have a unique way of dressing, maybe they like to wear their hair in a different way.

A person can live a “boring” life and still be an interesting person.

I’ve always been a little on the eccentric side. When I was younger I loved to travel, I was always going out on weekends, doing crazy things. Now, I enjoy staying home and reading, watching movies, etc. I still have my eccentric qualities that I value, and I still have unique interests that make me, “me.”

Just be able to carry a conversation about something your man finds meaningful

You're conflating male SMV with female SMV.

Women need men to be exciting, fun, ambitious, successful, adventurous etc.

Men need women to be pleasant, available, kind, soft, sweet, sexual, affectionate etc.

You don't need to be exciting. Be available, sweet and sexy. Be kind and a soft landing space and you'll be okay.

Boring people are bored with life...they don't have deep and meaningful interests (plural).

Do you have multiple deep and meaningful interests of your own?

Can you get yourself to be interested in what your guy is talking about, be it about himself or his interests?

If so, you are not boring.

Simple isn’t the same as boring. The fact that you have a simple routine isn’t something that would bother me. If you’re open to trying new adventures, I’d be happy with that.

Another comment mentioned droning on about stuff like the Kardashian’s. That’s not a problem of a boring life, it’s a problem of being a boring conversationalist. I wouldn’t care if you had a few guilty pleasures, but I’m not terribly interested and I certainly don’t want to hear 25 minutes on Kim’s latest shopping excursion. You say that you enjoy conversations on deep subjects, that’s good. Some guys don’t care, but I don’t really enjoy dumb people who cannot grasp anything deeper than reality TV. If you’re not tone deaf in conversation and take care to keep it two sides it’ll be a non-issue.

TLDR: Ask questions and don’t drone on to fill empty space in the conversation.

It's relative. Your lifestyle wouldn't be boring to someone who does the same thing. Many men are the same way, especially gamers. I'd personally worry more about my ability to simply enjoy my time with my spouse while doing the things we both liked. If you like to read and he likes to watch tv, read while he watches tv. As long as you are doing something together that you both enjoy then you are no more boring than you both are alone. If you aren't bored alone and he isn't bored alone, you can find away for you both to never be bored together.

Men don't say boring as in, "all she does is stay at home reading and cooking healthy", they say boring as in "we went on a date and I had to listen about the Kardashians for 3 hours"

Try hula hooping! It’s fun, great exercise, and some men think it’s sexy.

Boring isn't uninteresting or uneventful. I like uneventful afternoons sitting at a park eating sandwiches and ice cream. Boring is like actually bore my head with a drill being preferable than to keep talking to you.

Went on a date with a gal that I met at a birthday, conversation was great at the bday because we were 4-5 people talking together. On the date we had a cofee and saw a movie. She completely missed the entire point of the movie and then talked about the most vapid and materialistic things, as in what kind of clothing brands she likes and how she was a strong and independent women but somehow had to interrupt the date to go ask her dad if she could have her allowance and money to pay for her rent. She had an insane sense of self-worth when she was kind of dumb, had literally nothing to talk about, didn't read or watch movies, had no idea about politics and was aggressive in the conversation. She was boring.
As long as you are not insanely materialistic and share some interest with a guy you should be ok. Routine while open to new things and deep conversations is good because it means you are low maintenance but can rise to the occasion if needed.

As a dude who also usually sticks to a repetitive, low-key self-improvement routine, I'd suggest finding a completely new set of people, a new sport/hobby that involves meeting strangers, or just going off to events, concerts and the like with a few friends.

Oh and put up the most interesting bits of all of those on social media.

This has worked well enough for me, and while YMMV, it might just work for you too.

I think everyone has different definitions of boring. I don’t think this is something you should worry about. It’s cliche but just be yourself. Would you be happy with the male version of yourself? If you would, then you’re fine.
