Really? When I am looking at someone's profile, I mostly search for stuff we have in common and that we could share. If there is also stuff I do not care about, well, I am not looking for a conjoined twin…
Though, as it has been mentioned, I do not really have much worthy experience.

Thanks but I am not sure what you mean here. And, as it has been pointed, I am technically not a virgin anymore .

Taking a genuine interest in some things with broader appeal, and using that to have real engagement with people who share those interests does a lot to open the world up

Yeah, that is why I am putting climbing, and cooking, forward more than wargaming. Actually the lion's share of my profile is, I am afraid, in the “Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food” section, because it is the easier to flesh out. And if I really think about it, I am not sure it is such a good idea because music and books do not matter that much. Movies do though. I would really like to find someone interested in the same kind of movies I am into. I already found one, even though it sadly did not really work for a bunch of reasons (including her living in another country ).

Knowing when to be yourself and who with is important.
Like the girl im dating(Idk, Second date went well, we talked for like 50 minutes after the food was done. Dating is hard)
We where talking about cartoons and stuff and I accidently let it slip I used to be a brony. She didnt care cause she was an anime nut/convention nut/tumblr girl and she knew it was just something I used to do, and I knew some weird things about her.
If I did that with say another girl, it would be bad, but it just depends. IF you are going out with a normal soririty girl, showing your Xwing models might be weird.

Why?

Because all they like is nail polish and shoes?

In my experience with the sorority girls on this campus it would be weird.
Im talking about first date kinda stuff.

You're talking about a huge number of people, and treating them like a single monolithic group.

But then again I'm biased in my hatred of these fraternities and sororties on campus.because that's my experience with them.

That's pretty close, even if your generalizations are kinda painful.

If she accepts that you used to be a brony and didn't run screaming, then don't let her get away! Even if you have to tie her up, keep her in your basement, and have a chipMONK perform the wedding ceremony!*

*total advocate of bronies who kidnap.


**not really.

Lol, it was a conversation about crazy fandoms, and she said she was that way with supernatural. she herself go to an I'm conventions, so she knows weird stuff exists and is fine with it.
I'm not sure what to do know. What after a second date.

FHRITP.

Ask her to carry your demon spawn.

Following what Nuggz said.

People are less 'weirded out' by hobbies, fandoms and such more they are being cautious of timesinks and moneysinks which can be representative or lead to addiction and relationship neglect.

Being a Huge starwars fan isn't a big deal. Coming home and seeing a 25k$ collection of starwars memorabilia where one has neglected aspects of their lives to collect is a red flag.

Gaming, especially MMORPG can be worse than a drug addiction. Anyone who has played WoW knows people fail out of school, neglect their personal lives, lose jobs, spend money and sacrifice health to play it.

Many people have had legitimate bad experiences with people who 'overgame' or 'overcollect'. So they see such things as a gateway to neglect and addiction. I can't blame them.

Everyone has hobbies, everyone likes stuff which is not appealing to their partners. People have personal stuff, but when dating, you want to find stuff in common, and not try to say 'like what I like or screw you. I'm not gonna change.'

What is your problem with Tumblr?

For lack of a better term, attention whoring. I've dated a Tumblr girl that I met via OkCupid. She was insanely hot and completely flying rodent gak crazy.

At this moment, I just need experience.

Tumblr is 4chan rebranded with a target group. Same level.

Well, I like her. Now I just need to know what to do after the second date.
Jeez, this gak is hard.

Like Nuggz said....FHRITP

It sounds really, really stupid but it's effective and at the very least, you get to know your potential SO better:

Give it a try. If you think that using those cards is too awkward, memorize some or all and ask them right away.

4chan and Tumblr are on the same coin, just different sides. 4chan has gore, porn and social rejects, Tumblr has...gore, porn and social rejects. 4chan isn't limited to /b/, Tumblr isn't limited to feminazis. Both have their ups and dows. Put 4chan and Tumblr in a bag, put some stones on it and throw it in the kitty river. Instantly improve the internet.

I've always been curious about watching supernatural.

Not to be rude here but have you been improving your physical form at all? If i recall some said it wasn't too good months ago. If you judge women in a similar fashion then it should only be fair of them to judge you in that fashion as well. Sure it's a bit shallow but at the very least you want to appeal to women to get a girlfriend.

If I can also give advice. Message every girl, not just the ones who have interesting profiles. My friend said 10 a day or more.

I'm glad something positive came out of albatrosses date thread. keep it up sauceman.

FHRITP - i'm not too sure it's a wise idea to try anywhere else on a 3rd date.

Google it. That's just the easily available stuff. Tumblr has some nasty back alleys at /b/ level...or worse.

That awkward moment when you stumble on your GF's tumblr and find that she has pictures of her pierced nipples, sex gifs (not of her thank god), and pics of her in nothing but underwear all over it.

That is why you don't date tumblr girls...especially if they have a history of emotional/physical/sexual abuse...just stay away from that.
