What to do when interests aren't conducive to meeting women?

How does that saying go ? " you don't know until you try "

You might find something that you even have a modicum of interest in becomes more interesting once you try it

You have 24 hours in a day, you can deduct 16 for work and sleep, now you're at 8, take another 3 for personal needs (hygiene and transport), you still have 5 hours. And if you don't think they're worth it, how can you expect them to think you're worth it?
If you look in the newspaper, you might find different classes being offered (ie: art, yoga, ect...) the last time I took one of those, it was only $35 for a six week class, I mean something has to be interesting, maybe sculpting? You're just lucky this is me and not my mom, she naggs way more than this.

Its like Raining on the dream of your wedding day.
No matter how you slice it, life has its funny ways.
Yes you can find someone who likes the same things,
but like tumblers in a lock it all has to line up before doors open,
for things to be just right for them and you.
matching interests is nice, but if your not attracted then its just a social delight, a new friend but no more.
some people have to wait a life time and still find nothing, others get but just a taste and it gone.
others yet get a banquet....................
just live life as it comes, let it all go even though your soul cries out for it, keep your self in the open and available.
but let it all go and just be you, fighting fate is hopeless and ironic. just take your time and enjoy what you got of the gift of life.

Find new ways of using what you love. Join a movie discussion group; some coffee houses will have postings. Find ways to branch out instead of starting from whole cloth.

jazz clubs?

I'm having the same problem, and it never seems to work with the women I work with. My mom suggested going to church, but that seems a rather hypocritical reason to go to church. Sometimes in the newspaper are lists for different group meetings; I think I might try that. (Quilting, anyone? )

try internet dating... I met a good looking girl who has 300 dvds and loves videogames.

My advice? Date a geek girl. We're a rare breed, but we do exist. My hubby hasn't regretted his move... ... ... yet...

Gotta find one first though... nerdy women are far more rare than nerdy men...

I do have to agree with your statement however... I've had a far deeper connection with the nerdy women I have met, moreso than regular women...

I like your hair

Off topic - but that is wonderful, Goddess... and that is a wonderful picture of you both. Thank you for the smile tonight.

I'm glad you've recognized the type with which you have strong connections. I realize that those individuals are difficult to find, mostly because women like that have solitary interests much like yourself. If you know what you're looking for, that's a good start. A lot of people don't even really know what they are looking for in a partner, or for some who do, they have really unrealistic expectations.

Good luck!

Thanks!

I wasn't trying to put things off topic by posting our pic. I was trying to give a bit of encouragement to Bataar by sharing my personal experiences in the world of dating. Thank you for your compliments though.

I've been there. Women are supposed to be social creatures, but I loved video games and other nerdy like things that made making friends with other women difficult. So, most of the friends I've had over the years were guys. I was nothing more than "buddy" material to any of my fellow nerds because I was too much like one of the guys when it came to my interests [though I dressed feminine]. I wanted to point this out because I'm sure there are other girls out there like me who are into gaming and fishing and other stereotypically male interests, stuck hanging with a group of boys without a single date. That could be Bataar's chance to catch her eye!

I try to have interests that no conservative person would dare be interested in.

You pay your taxes happily and willingly?
