With the last girl I was seeing, we found common ground in reading even though we had completely opposite tastes: I'm into heavy stuff like Dostoevsky (which she found boring), and she was into new age touchy-feely stuff that I can't stand. But it didn't matter: we both found that the way that these books totally blew us away and expanded the way we think, or how much the different authors had in common philosophically and/or morally were things we could talk about on end. Another example: if you're into sports and she's into ballet, there is so much there in terms of mind-over-matter and striving for physical perfection that you can chat about for ages. Don't be limited by assuming that because there are superficial differences between you and women, you have nothing in common or that they're not interesting. You just have to have faith that no matter how different you are, you have a good chance of finding bonds. You might even find that some girls are more interesting and you have more in common with them than the guys who you share superficial interests with. Human beings are remarkably similar when you dig down - otherwise the psychology and psychiatry wouldn't exist...
This is almost exactly what I was going to say. People very rarely have specific things in common. I may really love spam, but most people don't. If I talk about spam for 5 hours people will be bored out of their minds. If I however talk about how it feels to eat my favorite thing ever anyone can relate. Commonalities based on emotions and feelings are much easier to relate to someone, and not only that they have a much more powerful effect on the connection you are having with them.
