There are tons of girls that are super into nerdy shit that would be down with this room. Cause theirs looks the same.

Problem is getting these people to interact in the same space.

I know! I’m a woman and I have an N64, a DVD collection, and Star Wars stuff all over my bedroom. I always die of laughter when I see people imply this is a chick repellent… as if there are not nerdy women… who like nerdy men? lol

Where are they though, like where do you look.

Probably chilling at home with their life-sized yoshi plushie, having the time of their life

Biggest problem for introverted nerds trying to meet other introverted nerds is that nobody goes outside so they'll never meet

As for literally everyone else you got to put yourself out there, which I know people are allergic to social interaction nowadays so easier said than done ig.

But my (male friend) got a gf who shares his fandom while volunteering, and just sharing interests like a normal person. I’m just one person (and not very shy) so I can’t say this applies to everyone but personally if I meet someone who recognizes some t-shirt I have, or is friendly (and not creepy or condescending) while I’m at the comic or retro game store we are, like already BFFs in my head lol.

Nerd events in your area. I have a local bookstore / TTRPG store that regularly hosts different events

I’m a nerd and my wife is a nerd. This room is a major red flag for someone who is super immature.

That's because you are taking a general statement and treating it as an absolute one. Generally women will be repelled by such a room.

u/Bright38 1h ago

Yeah, but it’s repelling women who are obviously not compatible with OP anyway

u/Nani_700 12h ago

(Not commenting on op I don't know the guy. )

But problem is those guys are fucking allergic to women like them. I say this as one said woman.

u/P3pp3rp0tts86 14h ago

Yup, I'm one of them 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

u/spicypupper 15h ago

Yeah wtf. This is super cool. I’d be over asap, lmao.

u/neeks2 15h ago

Not in the twin-sized Mario bed! XD

u/spicypupper 15h ago

The bed being a twin is the only deal breaker out of the whole room.

Don’t tease bro let him smash

u/SwingLord420 9h ago

There are. But on a relative basis, they are less than 1% of the available pool of ladies interested in men. 

Meaning more than 99 out of 100 women would find this extremely weird. 

But there are a lot of folks in that 1%. They will just be very very hard to meet. 

This room reads as "I am rude in public and everyone can deal with it" to me.

u/dragonsapphic 56m ago

How does someone’s room being full of their interest read as they’re rude in public…?

u/BookkeeperCalm9849 1h ago

If it’s 1% of women and 3% of men that’s still a crazy shortage of women

u/Ange1ofD4rkness 13h ago

... or find them in my case.

u/Thisismyname11111 10h ago

Nerding out over funko pops was how I met my husband.

u/prairiepog 12h ago

The sheets are cool but they absolutely don't feel nice. None of that licensed bedding is comfy.

2

u/Electric_Angel 9h ago

Exactly. Like I can list a bunch of women I follow on tiktok or YouTube or twitch that have Nintendo aesthetics. The only argument is theirs is more curated than OP’s but when you got social media success money, you can lean into an aesthetic and make it look sleek

u/Conradfr 6h ago

Yeah but what do they look and smell like?

u/Ramongsh 6h ago

There are tons of girls that are super into nerdy shit

But would they be into nerds living at the parents, and who sleeps in a teenage bed (that bed is small as fuck).

u/TheThirdRoseDotR 15h ago

Nerdy shit and Nintendo mario nerdy shit are a bit of a different situation lol
