Pretty much all of the new psychological research says that A) we change incrementally, constantly, B) unconsciously adapt to our surroundings, C) we can intentionally alter our unintential behavior, i.e. change our personality, and D) we all underestimate just how much change can and will occur.
Agraza is misguided and doesn't understand this "psychological research" he is speaking of. You on the other hand sound like a social invalid.
I have a hard time keeping everything straight in the DatabaseT, but I thought that this chick was Eomer related?
Uhm, you have to remember your audience here. Even if you are not a social cripple, if you have stereotypical "nerd" interests you're pretty much obligated to put on an act when on a date.
This is a problem Xequ. If you are actually so ashamed of your hobbies you won't talk about them with women you either need to find new hobbies, or find different women. Some of you guys are starting to upset me. I feel bad for you and I hate pity. I think it's a useless human emotion.
I'm not ashamed of these things. However, I realize that mentioning these hobbies on a first date is pretty likely to get me filtered out emotionally, simply due to guilt by association. You don't have to hide it for long, because once you've demonstrated you don't fit the negative stereotype, they won't care. However, like it or not, MMOs and CCGs are almost always portrayed very negatively in the media and as such you're making a horrible first impression by talking about them straight out to someone who has no experience with them.
Then let them take their chances elsewhere. OKCupid has a section that says "On a typical friday night I'm..." and the answer I have always had in that section is "Playing video games, practicing for Saturday night or making out with you in an abandoned parking lot like high schoolers". Seemed to work just fine. If literally the only hobbies you have are MT:G and video games, yea you need to find some other, healthier hobbies to go along with those. Don't be so sedentary. If you only have those "nerd" hobbies and nothing else you aren't a very interesting person. That's a basic fact, and redpillis right about that (because it's inherently true and fairly obvious to most people). People, both men and women, like other interesting people and aren't so keen on people they see as boring. This isn't a revelation for most of us.
Pretty much this. Any woman you plan on connecting with is someone you should be upfront with, otherwise you are just doing RP bullshit and should not be surprised when things blow up down the line. False shallow people tend to end up with false shallow people, only to wonder what the fuck happened years after the fact.
Too late. I've already got a date with her this Saturday. I love chicks who are terrible in bed.
