I (39M) recently started hanging out with a few guys around my age. They're nice guys and I enjoy hanging out with them, but besides whatever activity we're doing (sports-related), I don't think I have much in common with them.
My question is, are shared interests really that important in maintaining friendships as you get older?
Edit: I mean that besides the sports we play, I'm not sure we have too many other interests in common. We seem compatible personality-wise but don't have too many overlapping interests. How important is that?
