<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I'm keeping this vague as he Reddits. On one hand, he has a ton of qualities that I find very important in a relationship. He is intelligent, higher educated (and will understand why I needs to put my time into graduate school), very kind to everyone, feminist, looks out for my needs, I find him attractive, and he's making good money. He's a relaxing guy to be around, makes me feel comfortable, and has been fantastic in planning dates so far.

But, I worry our interests don't overlap enough for exciting conversation. While he has listened to me ramble about some more abstract concepts (say the nature of being human or hypothetical situations/ideas), he doesn't have much to contribute. Again, he's very smart, but I'm thinking he just enjoys things that are more concrete... I'm just not sure if I want to be with someone who isn't interested in those kind of conversations, since I know how amazing they can be. Likewise, his interests are very technological. While they interest me, I am far off from understanding most of the aspects which interest him.

He also has a very time consuming, expensive, and environmentally unfriendly hobby. Parts of it I find cool and fun, but others I just can't see myself ever being interested - as right now I actually disagree with some aspects of it. But, it's his hobby/life, so maybe that isn't important in the long run if I stay out of the aspects I disagree with.

How much do hobbies matter if there are some other similar interests? How much do values matter over mind blowing conversation? We also have a ton of things we can do together, so it's just the big hobbies that drastically differ.
<bot>: New guy is pretty different from me, but has a lot of the personality traits I value. Any advice on how to see if this will be an issue in the long term?
