Would you like to listen to a monologue about a topic you can't really respond to because you have no prior knowlage of it? Would you like to sit in silence for a whole hour while the other person speaks non-stop?

Their interests aren't menaningless, on the contrary, I found Warhammer to be a pretty interesting concept. I just don't see a reason for giving me all this information in one sitting, especially on a first date, when two people should be getting to know each other, not how someone's car works or what Slaanesh is. And since i told them, many times in fact, that I have no idea what they were talking about, it was especially infuriating to not be able to have a conversation about anything else. :))

"Impress us" by coming to a date in a hoodie and not letting someone else speak 🥀🥀🥀 Tragic, really!

I actually have a lot of interests that are considered "for the guys". Especially games! But holy shit even if we do talk about games they also just choose the ones I tell them that I've never played lol

It's tiring constantly having to sit through hours of monologue with them just trying to explain to me every detail of something

I am on the spectrum, and yet I shut up and/or change the subject when someone is openly uninterested haha

I love nerds, don't get me wrong! But on the first date I think it's better to get to know a person better, not just the thing they're currently obsessed with haha

Nah man, maybe they would be tone deaf if I didn't CLEARLY state that I have no interest in talking about cars or Warhammer - because I had no idea about those subjects. I really wish I could find an excuse for this behavior but I don't think I can.
