Don't take it personal. Some of these things are probably near and dear to your heart, a foundational part of your personality. Off the top of my head:
Video Games
We had some kind of down-scale pong when I was very young, that we played on our console tube Curtis Mathes TV. But I was never privileged enough to progress to an Atari, etc. I got my ass kicked any time I hung out with my video game playing friends, so I never got into it.
Comic Books and Super-Hero Movies
I see, maybe on average, 1.5 super hero movies per year. Mostly during the summer, mid-week matinee. They're OK. Whatever.
Quoting Rap Lyrics at Length
I really like hip-hop history. There's always that one dude who starts ripping multiple lines from classic albums. Not that dude.
Pool
I can fake it for a couple of shots, but that's it.
Card Games, Including Poker
My grandma knew every card game ever conceived. Too bored/ADD to pick it up. Never got into the poker thing.
Gambling, Minus Long Stretches using a Bookie
I go to Vegas, I just want to people watch and drink. I enjoyed betting on NCAA and NFL football back in the day, back before the Internet when you had a phone number to call.
Golf
I've played a few times. I think I could get into it someday, if I had disposable time and money.
Hanging Out at the Lake
Sitting in the sun at Kaw Lake or Keystone drinking cheap beer just never did it for me, even back when I enjoyed cheap beer. I do like to fish, however.
Harry Potter/LOTR
I've read a few passages of both, and seen several of the movies, both in part and full. Meh. Probably because I didn't read this kinda stuff growing up. I read historical choose-your-own-adventures, National Geographic, and the 1975 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica my dad had in his study. Nerd alert.
Smoking (Cigarettes)
I tried it for a few weeks in my 20s. Didn't take. I like cigars, and would smoke green weekly if it were legal (just not worth the trouble at this point in my life).
Skateboarding
Growing up in the 80s, I wanted a skateboard SO BAD. All my "city" (Enid) friends had one. But what the hell was I going to do with one on the farm? Ride it on the 10x10 concrete slab in our barn?
Boy Scouts
Had ample opportunity to run around in the woods, thanks.
