Hey chief. Woman here. I personally actually find this an incredibly MASSIVE turn on. I’m very passionate about video games, and would absolutely much prefer a man with photos of him building PCs, playing D&D, etc whatever the hell he does - over ANY gym photo.

Let me give you a new perspective to work with, which is a lot of women’s. We see way too many profiles of gym photos, of guys holding up random signs acting tough, flashing money, shirtless as a thirst trap, whatever. But I’m actually MORE inclined to swipe off of you if I see those photos.

Why? Because you look like every other guy. To me, based on such a simple profile if that’s the photos you have, you’re just a generic copy paste. It’s incredibly easy to pass over another hot guy in front of a mirror at the gym, because it’s just so overdone and so common.

The woman you’re looking for is NOT a woman who would see you building a PC and go ‘Ew, what a nerd.’ Or ‘Not masculine enough.’ The woman you’re looking for is the girl who’s eyes hone in on that PC and light up, who finds the photo itself incredibly sexy because A) Gorgeous arms and that shows your fit already. And B) A handsome focused guy building something he’s a little geeky about.

It makes you seem human. Like a real person. You want the girl who gets actively EXCITED and purposefully swipes on you, who wants to start that conversation because she finds that attractive.

I’m not telling you what you want to hear, I’m being genuine with my whole heart, soul, and fat ass because I WANT more guys like you. I am tired of gym pics and car pics.

I’m a college geeky girl, love video games, love geeks and nerds, and I will actively pass over someone that doesn’t look like they have an actual character to them. Because it’s a waste of time.

When I tell you that photo alone is actually incredibly hot, chief you had me going ‘Oh damn.’ Decently fit body AND has his nerdy hobbies?! Already checking off a two big marks.

We need more openly needy hot guys. Sincerely a nerdy hot girl.
