I’m looking to make an online dating profile and I am wondering if I should bring up my affinity for lego. I know that may sound childish but I feel more confident in bringing it up because I’m the kind of person who likes to build my own stuff and I think I’m pretty good at it. I’m not sure what else I should bring up about me in my profile other than I like art, 3D modeling, coding video games and Virtual Reality, and that I like to hike and bike.
The attached image is one of the things I made just to give you an idea of my building prowess. What do you think?
Is up to you, but... the first thing that came to mind was.
How long did you spent working on this, as in... how many hours per day, and is it an every day thing? or just weekends, etc.
Also, this quite intricate attention to detail, how fussy are you about things, for example, if you share this and present it to people, but then you do not want anyone to enter your "dedicated area" or "mess with your creations"... I would wonder about that.
And what about costs, how can you afford this, both for time and money... these kind of things and more is what people might wonder... and then it might leave them with more questions than anything, possibly doubts. Profiles won't give you much space to explain all these things.
If you need an "excuse" (which you shouldn't need with the right girl) is that you love to build things. And legos is a cheaper option , so you aren't spending all your money on more expensive things.
My brother builds Gunpla kits. Those things while 100 or so pieces a piece are about $150 a piece. Once it's done you can't undo it easily. But with legos you can reuse and start again.
Don't just say I love legos and leave it at that. Say "I love to build things even if that means using legos"
I found it very attractive as a kid and when in HS. As an adult, i wouldn't be able to take him serious playing with legos unless he was a toymaker or teacher
If it's a turn off, then is that really the girl for you? I assume you want something longterm, that'll mean you'll basically have to hide your hobby in your own house if you live together.
Personally i think that model looks really cool, is it nerdy? Hell yes but a lot of women like that nerdy passion in men so don't hide something if you can be proud of it.
My advice, take a selfy with the most impressive thing you've build and put it as one of your photos. It's always a good convo starter if she asks you about it.
It’s probably a good idea to be honest with people about who you are and your interests, that’s why dating aps have the ability to match you with someone that is suitable to your personality, opposites can attract also, guys who have hobbies and interests are generally well rounded, they are probably not going to cling to a woman, because they will always have something else to do if you both need breathing space. I think many guys lie and say they are something they are not, that probably gets them action, but true happiness belongs to those that are honest.
Don't forgert that people will judge you based on your hobbies. In a positive and negative way. But just ask yourself if you want to hide/give up your hobby forever in case the other party might/ does not like it. You're gonna attract people based on what you post/write there so it'd probably be best to be truthful? Tbh i think it's interesting and would like to watch someone do that/ try for myself.
Go for it, because you want to cause the effect that would cause. Ruin your dating potentials with the wrong girls over this. Its going to be saving you a lot of pain and trouble. The right girls for you will respond favorably to you sharing your passion, either because they like lego or because it tells them something about your personality they are looking for.
i think if someone is really into something and passionate about it, i think most of the times it’s attractive

would you tell a supermodel you play with legos? would you tell a supermodel you code videogames? so why do that on there for? unless you're looking to meet a woman who's into videogames and legos it's best to meet her in a videogame chat or forum or reddit instead of a dating site
I don’t think I would have a lot of luck in those areas. Any women browsing those forums with that intent in mind would probably just be there looking for attention from thirsty boys. I only bring that up because I’m not sure what else to bring up about myself other than my physical activities and art.
No one is "turned on" by legos, if that's what you mean. You're looking at this all wrong. Having something as a hobby is nothing to be ashamed of, first of all, but at the same time hobbies like model planes don't exactly moisten panties or ripen one's banana.
Only if I accidentally step on it. This shit hurts.

It’s kinda nerdy but some girls are really into that. I am all into nerdy. Haha I wish my boyfriend would have posted his lego collection on the dating app we met on. Still would have talked to him.
