I can understand where your coming from. Granted I never met the guy but there could have been any number of reasons why he said what he said. Granted the guy couldnt connect with you on that particular topic but whats to say he couldnt relate to you on some other level. However, it sounds like the not reading thing was just the tip of the iceberg and he just had nothing in common with you. I just hate it when women judge you from first impressions and they totally think they have you down and they dont.

I got set up with a guy once who was INCREDIBLY good looking. Literally, he was a male model - he'd done some catalog stuff. Super sweet, total gentleman.

However, the poor guy didn't have two brain cells to rub together.

We went to a movie with a friend of mine and her BF. Some preview for a movie based on a book came on (I forget which one though, think it was a classic). I was trying to make conversation and asked him if he'd read that one. He said "No - I didn't read that."

Then he continued...

"People are always talking about all these books that they've read, and how much they like or don't like this book. I almost always have never read them."

And he kept talking...

"Well, I guess, I don't really like reading. No, reading's not for me. I like TV though...Yeah, I, uh, just like TV."

I JUST LIKE TV?????

That just killed it for me. The guy was apparently barely literate. I was headed to law school. This wasn't going to work.

Not that I'm snotty about brains or anything, but geez, I like guys who can READ. Intelligent guys are SOOOOO attractive to me.
