Nerd Dating: What to talk about on your first date pt 6

This, by the way, is my 100th blog posting.

Since starting this list of things to talk about I have come up with a number of additional no-go topics.  Stuff to really avoid in my opinion.  I’ll do this post really quick to keep you out of trouble.

Things to not talk about:

Sports.  Most women not only hate this but are afraid of dating a guy who disappears for all of the football season.  Occasionally you will meet a girl who claims to like sports, but this is usually a trap designed to see if you go crazy on the topic.  On the other hand, many women don’t want to date a gormless wiener who has no testosterone at all, so don’t say you don’t watch any sports.  A good, neutral answer on the topic would be “I’ll watch it if nothing else is on.  Plus I always watch the Super Bowl.”

Medical anything.  I think I mentioned this before, but I will reiterate.  Most women (and men, for that matter) are more or less disgusted by their own bodies and medical issues.  They will want to float in a modest delusional state wherein whoever they are with doesn’t even have internal organs or expel waste of any form (by the way, if you have to use the restroom you should tell her when you excuse yourself that you are going to “wash your hands.”).  Honestly, do you really want to hear about her womanly issues, skin condition, or back issues?  Don’t let her know about yours.  As far as she is concerned you are never sick.   (House t-shirt image courtesy of the television t shirt section)

Nerd stuff.  Star Trek, comic books, video games, D&D, or anything cool.  It is a sad fact that most women (at least the ones I seem to date) have no actual interests beyond work, travel, the gym, and television.  Yawnorific.  However, keep your interests under your hat for now.

Pretty much anything you have not heard a “normal” girl bring up in conversation (things brought up by the weird goth comic book chick who you keep running into at the local comic book shop does not count).

I’m running out of steam.  If I think of other things I will try to insert them into other posts as asides.  I hope you are starting to get the idea.
