Nope. No women is going to see a handsome guy, intelligent, they click and then rejection him after finding out he reads comics, it's only if you're fat, have a neckbeard, don't wash and listen to Nickelback it becomes a problem.

Depends on the person, really, some people will just write you off for liking that stuff, for some reason, but you shouldn't really waste your time with someone who isn't willing to try or respect your interests.

I love video games and comics and I want to get into anime.
But I'm not hot. So maybe hot girls don't like it, idk. Depends on how they're socialised.

And boring really isn't about interests, just how you talk about them.

Depends on the girl but on you too. I like video games for example, but I don't often talk about it... If you like it it's not a problem, if that's basically your only conversation topic then yes it is.

Being passionate is fine, being obsessed is not.

Im a girl
i watch anime, i wanna say I'm a fan but there are those out there who have watched everything and read it all
i also play video games, mainly xbox games like GTA or hitman- I'm no good but i still play
and i don't really have an opinion on video games

I'm actually worried guys would find me weird for being like this
but don't be sad about what your friends say, I would actually feel so lucky to find someone who would watch anime with me and teach me how to actually play the video games rather than me running over people every 2 seconds in GTA( totally not my fault, they drive on the wrong side of the road)

anyway long story short theres someone for everyone, and there will be someone with similar interests as you

I'm a guy! But no!! I actually met a girl a couple of months ago who's into that stuff and I was quite surprised at first because it's not that often I meet girls who's into that stuff.

Also, I've got friends who have gfs and they're into gaming more though than anime! :biggrin:

I think it depends where you meet people as well.For example, if you go to events such as comic con then obviously you're gonna meet girls into the stuff that you've said! It's easier to speak to one as well because you two share interests!! :biggrin:

But at the same time, don't be that stereotypical person where you stay inside all the time to the point you become socially awkward and don't know how to converse with a person!! :biggrin:

Hi ladies, my name is ... and I am a nerd. I am also single. Just figured I'd put that out there. No reason at all.

In all seriousness; OP I just quoted six women who all practically said the same thing, that men who are into geek culture/interests are not unattractive/undesirable. If you're personally finding a lack of success then perhaps you need to cultivate other hobbies to not only broaden your interests and opportunities but to grow as a individual and become more attractive in the sense that you are a unique and interesting guy who loves what he does and is not afraid to show it.

These ain't the girls you want to be asking :rofl:

most of the girls here are geeky themselves.

Also, being a geek is SEXY. It means you're PASSIONATE about something and NOT AFRAID to BE YOURSELF. Plenty of chicks dig that!
.

I don't think that's what being a geek is, that's just confidence in yourself

Personally I love manga and anime, and although I've never personally been good at video games, I think guys who like them are pretty cute! I guess it's nice to see someone be really good at something I can't do 😂 But that's to a point, if a boy just completely blanks me in favour of playing a video game it might be a bit of a turn off... but that's not so much about the video game itself~

People tend not to like different. Gaming is more acceptable , but all of those hobbies are a bit non accessable and more difficult to relate to for some girls hence geeky, If thats what you like then thats (be yourself) it, but agree with shard that if you had other more mainstream interests as well, then you would look less geeky.

I'm generally upbeat and confident but recently I was told that girls don't like me 'cos I'm a dork and like weird things.

This person is my cousin so she didn't say it to make me feel bad but rather to help me be more attractive.

We were talking about our lives and she started asking me personal things about myself. You know, If I have a gf, etc. I told her that I'm single and she said "well, yeah... you should be more interesting... only dorks like anime and comics". (I've a large comic book collection and around 100 anime DVDs on display in my room)

I told her I don't think it has to do with my interests, I'm just not good looking. She said she thought I was really cute, that her friends thought so too but all found me boring and dorky. None of them actually know me btw, they've seen me 2 times (maybe a few more times on the street) when I went for a coffee with my cousin.

Anyway, I won't get into into any more detail but I have to say I felt pretty *****y. Do girls really find guys with those sorts of interests boring or dorky? and what kind of interests aren't boring to girls? not that I'll change but at least I'll understand where I go wrong?

I know I'm late but, an intense interest in comics and anime is a MASSIVE turn off. I guess it's because I hate anime myself. But who knows.

nah a lot of girls won't mind. i think guys with these interests can be really attractive, however if you do nothing else and you're just hyperfixated on these things, it can be annoying and make you seem immature/childlike/lazy.
as long as you look after yourself physically and make an effort with your appearance, someone is bound to like you at some point
there's a certain negative stereotype surrounding these type of men and from personal experience they're usually true
