  • In my experience, yes. It just depends on the women you’re talking to.

    As a not-unattractive nerd, I’ve gotten a lot of dates from the local game shop, DnD games, stuff like that. Warhammer much less so, that’s a super male-dominated hobby in my experience and I didn’t get much into it until I was already seeing my wife. But! If you do nice work and don’t overwhelm people with exposition, most folks are at least moderately interested. It’s a skill most people think they “just couldn’t do”, I like to show them how easy it can be, which makes for a fun evening.

    Just be pleasant about it and don’t date assholes, really











  • Most good tradesfolk are, basically - they’re just also a journey/master at their chosen trade. Plumbers, carpenters, HVAC, electricians, masons, everyone has to work together so you pick up some of what they do just by osmosis. Later on you’ll be doing something totally different and go “oh wait I saw those guys do that this way, that makes sense now”.

    The number of problems you can solve scales logarithmically with the amount of skills you learn.
