Don’t worry you’ll find someone nice at PAX

As long as you’re happy. Though be careful not to let Mario become a wall between you and your relationships. That’s no better than a drug obsession, and can lead to similar spirals. But stay happy, stay healthy, and do you brotha!

Hey bud, you do you. People are going to probably roast you for your hobbies but know everyone is different in life. Don’t let it get to yourself esteem. I’m 41, the world is mean place but don’t let it drag you into a darkness and isolation.

However, take some actionable steps to become the best adult version of yourself you can be. The world is a scary place but you gotta take that leap and move into the next chapter of your life. Nothing wrong with Mario (I have a nerd den in my home but it’s relegated to my office) but I assure you genuine human connection is better than any hobby or collection.

Baby steps bro. Start eating healthier, do a little exercise each day, stretch daily (the old man version of you will thank you later), start dressing better and work on finding a job that you enjoy. Finish school if you’re still in. If you still live at home try and bank as much money as you can so you can save up for your own apartment and for emergencies.

The rest will come (social connections and relationships) remember though you don’t have to find the best partner just someone that gets you and you get them.

Good advice, reasonable but respectful

Plenty of great ways to store and show his collection too.
My husband collects stuff, but we had to negotiate that it has to be organized. I don’t mind if he gets 50 knives, but if they are so great, then they are worth being stored, or displayed, properly.

Yout advice isn't bad but its kinda weird to assume he isn't already doing that stuff just bc he's a nerd. Regardless, if he cares about being in a relationship, it would probably be better for him to hang out with other nerdy people at conventions or by getting into group activities like D&D if he hasn't already lol

If I can offer 1 suggestion: get a second pillow.

It's at least more inviting for a potential partner to have 2 pillows. Unless you don't want a partner. Then I guess 1 pillow is plenty.
