Just look where geek gals hang out. It did take me quite
awhile, and I did deep-six more than one of the "you should get rid of
all this stuff so I can move in and we can have a HOOOMMME!" types. But
it can be done.
That's exactly the type I'm worried about, which is why I've started being
very up front about my hobbies.
That's one mistake right there. "Hobbies" are things some women think
they can simply "do away with". Tell them "this is what my life is
about" and they'll take it a bit more seriously.
True, I hadn't thought of that. I wonder what percentage of those women who
self-select as geeks, etc., fall into the "I can just do away with those bad
habits [sic] of his" category.
In my experience, not many. In most cases the dividing line coincides
with the one between "thinking people" and "the rest of 'em".
