Far from a turnoff, this is a turn on for men.

A woman that is interested in something that is typically a male interest or hobby isn’t that common of an occurrence.

The fact that you love watching or playing sports, geek out over tech, or get excited about attending science conventions, is a major plus.

It sets you apart from most women.

He isn’t used to women showing such interest in the interests and hobbies that he loves.

Whenever he is attracted to a woman, he has to be careful about the activities he takes her to, or topics of conversation he initiates.

He doesn’t want to turn her off or bore her by taking her to an activity that she won’t enjoy, or talk to her about topics that put her to sleep.

This forces him to be tempered.

Every time he takes her out on a date, he is conscious of what he does with her and talks to her about.

He sticks to taking her out to do neutral activities and only brings up mundane topics in conversation.

He plays it safe, knowing that she isn’t into the interests and hobbies that he is into.

This keeps him from being more forthcoming with showing her who he sincerely is as a person.

He is far too guarded.

Yet, he believes he has to use this tactic, fearing that in being more of himself by talking about his male-oriented interests and hobbies, he bores her, and loses her interest as a result.

Since you are a woman who is interested in something that is typically a male interest or hobby, you give him the latitude to be more of himself as he courts you.

He doesn’t have to temper himself.

He gets to take you out on dates that indulge in the interests and hobbies that he loves.

He gets to talk to you about these interests and hobbies without having to restrain himself.

This facilitates in making him feel so much closer to you.

Instead of putting up a neutered exterior, he is himself.

This opens him up to you.

When he sees that you are as excited to do these interests and hobbies with him, he gets that much more excited and motivated to go out on dates with you.

It’s as though he has known you forever.

A rapport and connection is established with ease and at pace.

This is rarely the case with regular girls he has courted in the past.

It is a turn on that you have the same interests and hobbies that he has.

There are very few men that see this as a turnoff.

The only men that do are those who fear that the girl has more knowledge or skill in these interests and hobbies.

These are insecure men who don’t have much else in life going for them.

This makes them cling to their interests and hobbies as their lifeline, as they spend most of their free time engaged in these activities.

A girl that seems to be better or more knowledgeable about these interests and hobbies is a threat to him.

He fears that this disempowers him.

Based on this insecurity, he has more of a combative or competitive approach to how he interacts with you.

This isn’t the right type of man for you.

He is insecure and not worth your time.

By dating self-assured men, you never have to worry about dealing with men that are insecure about how much better or more knowledgeable you are about these male-oriented interests and hobbies.
