What's a nerdy hobby that you find attractive in a partner?

[SlipperyStinker]

I have met people who are now married just because one of them is super passionate about starwars or some card games.

[Cynicaldreamer]

I'd love a partner that's into video games like me... we could have designated "game nights" where we order out, play video games all night, and kill baddies!

If not that, even a "techy" guy that likes to build pcs or is into computers-

... yes I know I'm a geek; don't judge me, LOL

[Unstoppable20]

I feel like that shouldn't be too hard to find.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Unstoppable20 It is... not even kidding. At least where I live. It's very rare to find guys that like women gamers (yes, really). The last guy I liked a few years ago actually HATED that I was a gamer and thought it was a turnoff! Needless to say, said it didn't work out between us.

I should also mention I'm also into fitness. It's rare finding a geek that's into being exercise and gaming!

The few guys in my area that are geeks and gamers are already taken so... yeah, lol. I'd basically have to move if I want to find a geek I'm interested in.

[Silver158]

that's most guys tbh. I'm into video games and so is pretty much every guy I know.,

[Still-alive]

Nice ;)

[Jaximus-Lion]

That is strange. I wish the Mrs could handle a controller or mouse and keyboard for once. I have two members of my squad whom are girls and the other 8 are guys. To find a guy that loves gaming to be with a gamer girl! And fitness. You sound like you are my soulmate. Unless! You play fortnite and league of legends 🤣 Just kidding 😝. Well! Don't know what to say more than GL & HK. GG 👍
What platform are you on?

[Silver158]

@Jaximus-Lion how many of the guys on the squad were like "gurl... gurl... gurl..." when the 2 girls joined? lol

[Jaximus-Lion]

@Silver158 None! We are friends, we are adults and play for fun. We have our videos on my youtube channel but we speak swedish

[K-I-S-S]

Damn, would have been a perfect to find someone like you.😅 Also a fitness/gaming/electronics fanatic. Oh well, at least i know there is more than one 😗

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Jaximus-Lion PC gamer here! I mostly play WoW at the moment, but I have a ton of Steam games collecting dust (I swear I'm going to play them again one of these days, haha). I used to be a PS girl as well, but I got so sick of them seeming to change the consoles every other year, I'm not paying 4-500 dollars for a console when I can just build myself a good gaming rig that last 5+ years instead

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Silver158 I play and raid with a lot of guys and other women- that's never been an issue for me. Guys don't act weird, talk to us differently, or any of those cliche "gamer girl" stereotypes I always hear about! Heck, I'm usually top dps with most of the guys on my team! LOL

However, most of the guys I play with are always married or taken in real life, so that could also be a factor.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@K-I-S-S Heck yeah! Fit gamer geeks for life!

I had a friend tell me it's going to be impossible to find a guy that's both a geek AND into fitness! He told me I'm going to have to settle for one or the other (not happening, lol). I knew guys like that exist: thank you for giving me hope :)

[Jaximus-Lion]

@Cynicaldreamer still playing WOW... real wow 😝. Never bought a PS, always a PC guy, bought the xbox 360 when it came out and that's it. So what else beside wow? Zombies? FPS? lol?

[Silver158]

@Cynicaldreamer yeah, I played WoW in my youth lol. We had 1 girl join our guild and half the guys in it were full-on trying to get with her. So maybe a maturity factor there. But I have seen the same thing in Facebook PC groups etc.

[lucas262]

Oh yea hit us up on battlefield 2042 we can use good players.

Or are you talking about little big planet kinda games Because this is a whole different vibe. 😆

[ChocoBat]

So tryhard :pensive:

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Jaximus-Lion Bahaha! Us WoW players are a dying breed; I know. I barely play it outside of raiding and doing mythic dungeons with friends to be honest. Without friends, it's definitely boring.
Outside of WoW, I'm mostly a rpg, fantasy, hack and slash genre gamer (though if it interests me, I'll at least consider it).

Never been a huge fan of fps outside of the Borderlands series; love that game!

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Silver158 I think it depends on the maturity, group, or female in question.
One of my friends met her now husband in WoW years ago! And yes, they are still together. When she played, guys swarmed to her as soon as she jumped on voice, or if they knew she was a real female.

... I never had that issue; even when they clearly heard my voice in vent/Skype/discord... whatever voice platform, lol.

[zeitgeist057]

My two main ways I spent my time used to be Witcher 3 and working out. I love video games, but I stopped playing because I feel like they are too much a waste of time, even though they are fun. I spent hundreds of hours on Witcher alone, and thousands on games in my life. But for sure guys who like gaming and fitness exist.

[DumBear]

Oh man fit gamers are so hard go find. I pretty much agree with your post. I like nerdy partners whom i can share some interests with! Its not even that i NEED them to game with me. Its just a fun way to bond and spend time together and support each other.

I only date gamer girls pretty much now.
I often date long distance! It sucks but I've met some great people this way. Thsnkfully im at a stage in life where i can move to be closer (if they're in the usa) or move them to be closer. No school or anything to conflict.

What games do you like to play aside from wow? My main is feral kitty x)
I like other games too ranging from single player steam games I've amassed over the years to league, apex, overwatch etc!

If you ever want a gaming buddy toss me a friend request on discord!

[lucas262]

Fit? I mean I go gym 3_6x a week and played since I was like 6

[Jaximus-Lion]

@Cynicaldreamer so any new coming games you recommend that you would play?

[Cynicaldreamer]

@zeitgeist057 Ooh, Witcher! That is on my "to play" list on Steam right now; thanks for reminding me.

Yeah, it's hard finding a balance of being fit and gaming. For me at least, I exercise 5-6 days a week, 30-60 minutes a day (I'm actually on my way to the gym now after I finish replying to this thread). I exercise in the mornings before work, work, then after work is when I primarily game or relax. I basically treat gaming as a "reward" for my work throughout the day. Of course on the weekends, it's easy to just veg out and game all day, but I still manage to exercise on the weekends as well depending on my mood.

It's just awesome to know there are fit gamers out there! We seem to be a rare breed indeed.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@DumBear "Its not even that i NEED them to game with me. Its just a fun way to bond and spend time together and support each other."
THIS! I don't think people understand that more than anything. He doesn't even have to play the same games as I do. He just needs to understand that I DO play games and it's a part of my life. I refuse to date a non-gamer; it just won't work.

Honestly due to lack of time, that is the only game I'm playing right now, though I have several friends trying to drag me into FF14- which yes, I plan on going back to if I ever get some spare time; I haven't touched it since it first came out. I just couldn't do two sub based games at once.

Kitty! I love feral druids :)
My main is a fury warrior. However the majority of my classes are all melee dps (ret paly, feral druid, warrior, enhance shaman)

I swear I wish I could link all the games on my steam account. You know when they have their semi-annual steam sales and games are dirt cheap? I stock on games I want to play or swear, "I'm going to play this one day!"

... yeah I haven't played any serious games on steam in ages :|
I think the last game I played was FF7 they remastered; I could be wrong though.

[Unstoppable20]

I think that's awesome that you're into both gaming and fitness. It is rare to find a girl who's into video games let alone video games and fitness. I am really big into fitness and I'm also a nerd. I feel like most people in general don't understand it.

[Unstoppable20]

I would love to chat more if you would be up for it.

[Subarugirl]

honestly I find passion attractive.

[SlipperyStinker]

I agree with this personally, seeing someone have that nerdy love for anything is a big magnet to me.

[InspecturGajit]

I think that a woman that plays Magic: The Gathering is really sexy. Magic is a very mentally stimulating game because there are so many rules involved and literally every time a card is played the rules change. If a woman is accomplished at this game, it says a lot about her. It says a lot about anyone. It is mostly a male dominated game too so it says even more if a woman plays it because she's facing a lot of sexism and adversity. Being mentally strong in the face of discrimination says a lot about character. I don't want a pushover in a mate, I want an intelligent woman who will fight for what she believes in. Still looking...

[SlipperyStinker]

If horny was a person, I would be disgusted to find out its you.

[InspecturGajit]

C'mon you have to say there is something sexy about a woman's hands when she is shuffling a deck.

[Diodoro]

Lol not sure I have one. I like my nerd shit but it's not a trait I look for in a girl. Just her being accepting of ne liking my shit. If she does too cool but I don't really care.
I was big into world of Warcraft for years. An old ex of mine played too and that was an added element to us connecting.

But that was more of just an extra topic rather something I found attractive about her or something to bond over. You know what I take that back. If a girl dislikes Batman Begins she's cut lmao

[19magic]

I guess a guy into the more retro stuff I dunno lately I feel like the newer stuff tends to go over my head and is less strategy and more beat them up and spend more to get better gear. I love adventure games and stargtegy stuff like civilization or command and conquer. It would be cool to watch some anime together to. But mainly I'd love to find a guy into horror and theme parks.

[SenseiSeptred]

You into Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic the Gathering?

[19magic]

I've never heard of magic and the gathering and I've always wanted to play D&D but never really had the chance it sounds cool though and have always wanted to make up my own character and my own strengths and weaknesses

[lucas262]

Yeaaa my heart about stopped at the space mountain space ship ride. I ain't cut out for that shit.

[Shizunk]

Writings books. I was recently surprised by the number of women on dating sites who actually list that as a hobby. Its not necessarily an activity we can do together at the same time but it shows intelligence and dedication and I find that super attractive. And there is a lot to talk about when the writing is done. Actually finishing a book, even if not serious nor published is an achievement I respect.

[ObscuredBeyond]

If she's a passionate comic artist, wants to make her own comics, and can definitely draw better than I can, and would even be honored to do a run on a story of mine and split the profits from publishing it... that'd be hot.

I've got the worlds. At least three that are getting pretty deep. But if she can and wants to bring them to life outside of The Sims, she's at least got my attention.

[Nightless]

Roleplay (The D&D tabletop kind, NOT the sexual kind), video games, and PC building. Don't ask me why, but there is something oddly attractive about watching your partner goofily roleplay a character they designed, sit down and yell/scared scream/enjoy video games with you, and finally, yes. Building a PC from scratch. I'm a big PC guy so if there is a girl out there that knows her stuff, loves all three, AND isn't scared of a massive giant man? She is a keeper for sure.

[Anonymous]

My guy is into computer science and programming. I just love when he lights up light a kid in a candy store when we're in a technology center and he's discussing programming with other men. I think it's extremely sexy and attractive when he's discussing something he is so passionate about!

[Rachelspiks]

Being able to play chess, but not just knowing how to play, but being able to play the game well, and actually beat me a few times. I haven't lost a game in years, and it's starting to annoy me.

[Hairylegs222]

Love chess. A game of wits, thinking ahead, strategies to win.

[Miristheiss]

What is your ranking?

[Rachelspiks]

@Miristheiss The best in the world :)

[Elliegirl]

Video games, I guess. It’s not like I find it super attractive, but I think it’s so funny watching my husband play, especially when he gets mad/gamer rage. And it’s so adorable when he wants to play with me 🥰

[t-8900]

Me: Ignites Lightsaber
Her: Ignites Lightsaber

*Both are red*

*Boner Intensifies*

[SlipperyStinker]

Absolutely solid 😂😂

[t-8900]

like muh dick after those crimson blades hum to life! :D

[Inbox]

@t-8900
Her: "how are you so good in bed?"
You: "Learn to use the Dark side of the force!" 😂😂😂

[t-8900]

@Inbox pull down my pants, I have cookies :3

[Inbox]

@t-8900 How about a cock meat sandwich? LMFAO!!!

[t-8900]

Ah you didn't get the reference, oh well

[dustybiker]

My friend from Taekwondo is super into Star Wars, her husband too. Him probably more since they met. Their house is amazing, Star Wars but also gamers dream. Great parties.

[St37xy11]

If he really likes anime or manga. I really like both of them and have watched/read a lot out there so definitely we could talk about a lot of things

[AverageGuy9037]

I can relate lol, I can talk deeply with people who watch anime, especially when they have the same tastes as I

[St37xy11]

@AverageGuy9037 I'm glad I'm not alone. I recently went to a meet up with people I did not know, the meet up was for making friends. The first thing I brought up to bond with them was anime lol. Only one girl watched anime in the group of people and I only talked to her after that lol

[tatianamay]

I write short stories sometimes, and it'd be cool if he could write stories/ write songs or read books

[MelaninQueen21]

Being into "Star Wars" or "Star Trek". Or maybe into Anime or Math or Science. I like science, but I'm a history geek myself 🤓

[Rachelspiks]

I like maths, history and science too! :)

[DizzyDesii]

I prefer academic nerds but not know it alls and not fantasy gamer type nerds. Wordsearch and rubix cube solvers are hot

[BlueWalker]

Well, I'm a huge James Cameron's Avatar fan, so meeting someone who loves it as much as I do would be pretty ideal TBH. 😊

[BlueWalker]

I don't consider myself to be a typical "nerd" though.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If she appreciates music for it's aspects and theory despite where it comes from. (Games, kids shows, porn, movies, etc.)

[SlipperyStinker]

Hold up, there's good porn music? I would love if you gave some recommendations

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I'm not sure but most of the they're just jazzy but sometimes they can be catchy.

[suisuiola]

My boyfriend is a big marvel fan which I think is cute and interesting cause he knows like everything by heart

[TremorJay]

I don't read too much myself, but if she's read books like Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings, consider me interested.

[clampfan101]

Probably just about anything nerdy in general. lol I do especially hope to find a girlfriend who’s into video games or anime, if not both. (And/or some sort of science/tech genius. hehe) Nerds are cool and fun.
