your fellow weirdos haven't seen you geek out enough to believe you're not a dudebro yet.

If you want a mate with similar interests, you just need more patience and exposure.

act like that guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErOqVN3hbxo

Don't have any advice OP but I just wanted to say I'm in a very similar situation

I've even been thinking about making a thread about it recently

>Be more open about my interests?
If you want to find people with similar interests, and you want them to KNOW you have similar interests then yes that would be the logical choice.

I am in the same scenario, opposite sex.

Because of my appearance, I'm expected to like certain things. When I try to connect with others in my hobby I am ostracized with the preconception I'm a "poser," whatever that means. I just like what I like, can't help it.

It has always been like that for many people. My father is a 6'3" redneck hunter, who also happens to put up a "Star Trek tree" every Christmas. It has numerous collector's ornaments from the 80s and 90s of original Star Trek and NG. He fences, learned from some Polish dude and flipped his shit when I showed him the mo-cap fencing done for Witcher 3.

The fact he managed to find a woman as stunning as my mother and loved her til she died inspires me to
>be myself
And that it will all work out.
