Do You Read What You Write?

I've put this on different forums, so why not here?

When I was taking a creative writing class earlier this year, a person whom I was to co-write a story with asked me a question on what do I like to read. The reason he asked me this is because he said that people write what they read, because they have an interest in that genre. However, when he asked this, I knew that what I read and what I write are completely different. I usually read horror, philosophy, and dramas. While on the other hand, I write usually in the genres of mystery, action/adventure, and fantasy.
So I'm wondering, are you like me, someone who writes different from what you read, or do you write what you read?

I barley read what I right. For example I read books that have action/adventure and sometimes mystery and horror. But when I write my stories I write about Drama (i.e Sex,Drugs,life on the street)
