A lot of the things I don't like, I'm totally okay with not liking. I wish I liked cleaning and organizing though. I do it only as much as I have to. I'm okay with a certain level of clutter and to have things the way I would really want them would require much more time and commitment than I'm willing to give to the task at this stage of my life. I would prefer living in a tidy, organized environment but I also like my stuff and those two things are constantly fighting a war.

Coffee - not that it would make life easier but I just feel like I'm missing out on a simple pleasure  Yeah, and exercise. I do it but because I should,so, barely enough. I've never felt that buzz/addiction thing  These, my parents were big coffee drinkers, my husband is a coffee drinker.....I just don't like the stuff, doesn't matter what you put in it, sigh. Also, I am a lazy exerciser, I can come up with the most ridiculous excuses to avoid it, but I do push myself to at least get some exercise in. |

Exercise for sure. I hate it and having a real hard time getting started.
But mostly golf. DH loves it and plays all the time. My sister is also a big time golfer and they want me to play with them. But I really do not like it. Takes too long and it's just too damn hot here for it. Also, when I do play it's like a whole day is lost between getting ready, hitting practice balls, playing for 4 hours...After 4 hours on the course I am wiped out and have no energy or desire to do anything else. If I'm going to waste a day I'd rather waste in something I like. Our kids are graduated now so there's more time for me and DH to do things together. I wish I liked it so I could go spend time with him. I'd just rather not.

Gardening - I'd love to grow my own produce. I grew some tomatoes one year, but wasn't motivated enough to do it again.
Running - I do enjoy other forms or exercise (classes, yoga, etc), but I wish I liked running. I've tried it over the years, but never came to like it enough to stick with it.

Eggs and seafood. So many egg dishes look so good (especially omelettes) but I can't do it. My sons both work at an omelette restaurant (oldest cooks, younger busses) and they look so good!
I like shrimp but not regular fish. So at least if we go to a seafood place I can get shrimp.

Vegetables, totally a texture thing
Exercise, once I get in a routine I am fine, it is getting in the routine
Coffee and tea would make life easier at meetings, often they forget to order water. come out feeling very parched.

I also can't think of a single thing I wished I like that I don't -- I actually like too many things and feel torn in too many directions: exercising, reading, running, cooking, seafood, sushi, beer, wine, gardening etc.lol
I do wish I was better about getting up early and running at the crack of dawn
Edited - based onthers answers thought of a couple - wish I liked to organize more and sometimes wish I liked to socialize more - the older I get the more of a homebody I am

I wish I liked beer. It's all the rage, but I can't stand it!

I wish the coconut craze would pass. It's the only thing I'm allergic to. Lol I'm allergic too, and it is getting worse as I age. I'm going to be pissed if this is how I end up dying. So far there are no known cases of anaphylaxis from coconut allergies. So we should be okay. 😉 At my previous job, one woman I worked with liked to bake and test recipes on her breaks. One day she was making oatmeal raisin cookies, my favorite. I had to smell them baking for what seemed like eternity. When she finally announces they were done several of us headed to the kitchen to try one out. I took one bite and was instantly pisses off. I looked at my co worker and said these fucking cookies have coconut. Who the hell puts coconut in an oatmeal raisin cookie?!? He started laughing so hard he couldn't finish his cookie. |

Beer and wine...or any alcohol actually.
I hate the medicinal taste. I can't stomach the smell of beer either.
Not that I want to drink, but people always look at me weird or make comments when I say I don't drink. My close friends and family know and accept it. My dad was a happy alcoholic but an alcoholic all the same. That may be partly why I don't drink.

There's none on the lengthy list of things that I dislike (eg coffee, beer, pizza, eggs, running, sleeveless shirts) that I wished I liked. Yuck!

I had a professor this spring that was one of the ones that is genetically predisposed to hate cilantro. I didn't understand how bad it tasted to people in this situation till he explained it tasted like sucking on a bar of dial soap to him. Sorry. |

I wish I liked to sew. I would love to whip up a costume for my grandson, who is nearly 3 & into dressing up like a dragon, or a doctor. But thread makes my hands sweat & just knots up.

Watching sports. My husband grew up watching a ton, live and on tv, and my family watched none; now, unless I have a kid in the game (if we're being honest, often even if I have a kid in the game), I find watching team sports unbelievably boring. And no one seems to appreciate it if I bring a book . Yarn! You can take yarn, and if anyone gives you the side-eye, say it's the only way you can sit still for long periods of time. (that's actually true for me) |

And no one seems to appreciate it if I bring a book . I get wanting to play softball with your coworkers or friends, but watching professional sports leaves me scratching my head. What is fun about it? Guy throws a ball to a catcher 3x and the guy is out. My son has tried to explain there are different grips the pitcher is holding the ball (this was new to me) and the difference between a fastball and other different pitches. There is some sort of strategy but how do you find the strategy? I don't know what the percentage of men to women who like sports in the world is, but the men in my family dominate. Did my dad sit down with DS and explain all this to me when I wasn't around? Do they instinctively know from birth that watching competitive sports is fun? My dad is watching golf now. (Tennis is over). I don't know how they can sit there for hours watching a ball.  |

Cheese - blurg.
Coffee - I love the smell of good coffee, but just cannot tolerate the taste
Sandwiches (although I love crusty bread) and...
Mayonnaise (food of the devil) Do you know how difficult it is to find prepacked lunch stuff that isn't mayonnaise on soft bread?
Gardening - I have a decent sized garden that is currently mostly weeds.
Exercise - I used to love cycling but it's too hard on my RA, hand and hip joints.

My list is long:
exercise
cleaning (I love a clean environment - I just don't want to be the one to do it)
politics
popular movies and tv shows - I hate drama and action where people are being killed and things are being blown up. I prefer a romance or a chick flick and 30 minute sit-coms that make me laugh.
cooking - its too much work for the result. Also its hard to please the people in my family. I would rather starve.
mornings
beer and being tolerant to drunk people - can't do it.
