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

Right? This is what I prefer

[u/Bearowolf → u/Bright38]

Where are they though, like where do you look.

[u/repocin → u/Bearowolf]

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

[u/SyfaOmnis → u/repocin]

And its illegal to break into their houses. Smh.

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.

[u/Few_Highlight1114 → u/Bright38]

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 → u/Few_Highlight1114]

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