Part of the cornerstone of society is pretending to like things. Sometimes we fake orgasms and sometimes we tell someone how nice their hair looks. Sure, it's a little dishonest but it greases the wheels of society. And sometimes if you go through the motions long enough, you'll actually begin to like something. It's important, in a relationship, to sometimes pretend to like what the other person likes.
