Can a Pegasister love a non Brony?

[Dark Dawn 24]

It doesn't have to do with liking the show, or having a designation that ties one to it.  His distinct lack of morality is what would trouble me.  The rest of it is up to her.  Personally, anypony that could be that rude, disrespectful, and expect his friends to be the same deserves to die alone.  People change though, I guess.  Anyway, it is up to her.  I would say if you informed her of his hateful and disrespectful comment (or better, he tells her on his own), and she was interested, then why not.  Let them figure it out.

[Shanks 10,816]

He began talking about how he would decieve her into thinking that he loved the series and, when they were married or had been together a long time, he would tell her the truth in that he did not care for the show

Seriously WTF is wrong with that guy? He is either a closeted brony that or a troll, either way what he is suggesting is seriously messed up. Sure couples don't have to share every interest for the relationship to work but they have to respect each other and part of respecting each other is being honest with each other. If someone lied to me about something especially for a ridiculous reason like that I would feel very hurt, betrayed and angry. I don't expect a woman I date to like ponies, but what I do expect is her to be open minded enough to respect my interest in them and to not lie to me.

I would think it shouldn't be a big deal unless he is an antibrony or something.

If the non-brony can love the pegasister, then yes.

 

if not, then no. 

 

thats basically it.

[Envy 6,144]

Whether or not somebody likes My Little Pony or not would never have any bearing on whether I'd date them or not. The only thing that could definitely be a dealbreaker is a general nonacceptance of me watching cartoons and anime. I'm not over-the-top in that respect, so to still have an issue with it would, of course, be an issue.

[Neon Fire 473]

As a Pegasister, I honestly wouldn't care if I had a BF who didn't like the show.  I mean, who cares?  There's always going to be differences, and I'm sure there would be things I don't like that he does.  If he constantly complained about the show, I'd just ask him to stop if I liked it, but it wouldn't cause problems for me lol

The way I see it, if two people are compatible enough to get married, they can respect each other's niche interests. On paper, it would seem perfect if a couple liked and disliked the exact same things equally to the same degree. That's not how the real world works. Couples will have a whole lot of shared interests, hobbies, and so on. But there will still be some variances.

 

Let's consider the opposite. What about boyfriends and girlfriends who came together mainly because of a shared interest such as MLP? To a lot of the young guys here, a girlfriend who also likes MLP would sound like a dream come true. But I have had relationships with women in other fandoms. We came together mostly because of a mutual love of certain cartoons. Unfortunately, those relationships fell apart because we weren't truly able to connect on the things that really matter like core values, beliefs, and a vision of what our life should be like. Compared to that, liking or not liking the same cartoon is relatively trivial.

 

The whole idea of pretending to like something now with the intent of saying they hate it later with the intent to hurt another person's feelings is very disturbing though.

It's just a show, yo. I would never not consider dating someone JUST because they don't like My Little Pony. Now, if they had never actually watched the show, I'd try to persuade them to watch an episode(maybe with me), and if they genuinely didn't like it after watching an episode or two, then I'd leave it at that.
There's lots of others things you can have in common with your signifigant other. It IS a plus for my signifigant other to be a fan of My Little Pony, but it is not a necessity. Now, the way your friend sounds...ugh. That's pretty much all I have to say about him. :I
Non-bronies/pegasisters can date bronies/pegasisters if they don't care about that kinda stuff, which I HOPE a majority of people don't care about. I know I don't, because that's just silly!

[Skylar 1,641]

Every person has different tastes and hobbies, personally it would not matter to me at all if someone like MLP or not, at least it would not be a defining factor, if she liked it then thats a bonus  

[RainbowGlitter 13]

Your friend kinda sounds like a dick but honestly I don't think even if he tried to carry out his plan it would have worked well, there is just a lot of things nonfans don't know about the show and somewhere along the lines she is going to notice something is off. I can definitely tell if people are legitimate fans of shows or not, it not very hard actually. Pretty easy to see through if someone is lying about liking something to impress you to me at least.

 

To answer the question yeah duh course you can love someone not into the same stuff as you I mean no couples are completely compatible. 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

A relationship built on lies could never last, so I doubt it would work out in the end.

 

I'm sure many just read the title of the topic and replied so I'll reply to the title as well. Of course a pegasister could love a non brony, that title is a bit misleading considering the op.

[SomariFeyWright 776]

... Okay, I admit, the idea of judging the stability of a relationship related to the shared fandoms is an understandable concept. I don't even make friends if they won't fanboy alongside me. Can't help it.

 

But that said, you guys are judging the stability of a relationship based on the ardence of the two for a single animated cartoon? Honestly, that's just stupid. A romance doesn't spark from a shared trait: That's a crush. A true romantic relationship centers around the two being alike enough that they pull themselves together; like chemistry; while meanwhile having certain differences that balance each other out, in a way.

 

In the end, however, it all depends on what both sides are like. Clearly, the non-brony is willing to at least make the effort to understand the show. And that is very admirable with his lack of true interest in it. But how about the Pegasister? How much is she centered around My Little Pony? Fact is, there are people out there who can be very FiM-centered, to the point that it takes up their brains. If she's like that, I don't know if it'll work out.

 

... Though, that's just how I see it. It really depends on how things go.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

Of course, why wouldn't it be?

 

Sure, it depends if the person your crushing on is hitting on you back, but it's okay.

 

After all, it's just like the world, where as of now, any person of any kind or country can't be limited to the same race, you can swing for whoever you want.

[Rinkitty 589]

I honestly don't see why not. 

[Solid 1,327]

Non-brony does not equal Hater.

 

I believe that no matter what place, what time, what situation, people can fall in love.

 

If he is a good husband, he will respect you, and your hobbies.

[GONEFOREVER 518]

I don't see why not. If you like each other, then go for it!

[Jamesblorg39welsh 125]

Ummmm who cares if there not a brony the friend was kind of a jerk for asking you to hook him up with a pegasister

[Cygnus 60]

If I was in that situation, I would be more disgusted by the fact that he lied to me and then decided to dump all of that on me after getting married. I would rather be with a guy who hates ponies but owns up to it rather than be with a guy who lies about it to look good before marriage. Ultimately, if he really cares for her, he should either a.) be honest about his true feelings on the show, or b.) tolerate it and do his best to try and get into it for the sake of his girl. Preferably, he could probably do both - be honest about not liking it, but give it a chance anyway. Love is a give and take. He has to suffer some discomforts in his life with her, but if he's truly committed, it will be worth it.

 

I would be pretty ticked off about the lies, too. In high school I was super-excited to meet a guy who loved all the same books as me... and then slowly I began to realize that his knowledge of his supposed favorites were quite shallow. He'd been studying them in secret and regurgitating what he found online so that he could spend hour after hour lying to my face and pretending he understood me instead of learning how to understand me.

 

What happened to the relationship?

 

Well...

 

Ka-BOOM! RRR! CRASH! *sizzle*

 

He's someone else's problem now.

The question shouldn't be whether or not a pegasister can love a non brony, but whether or not a pegasister could tolerate a lying, manipulative douchebag.

 

Seriously, who plays those kinds of emotional games?
