    Looking at the post at face value, and joke aside, it sounds that it was a one way conversation for 30+ minutes, non-stop.

    Esoteric knowledge can be interesting. A sure sell selling point about you to a stranger on a first meeting it ain’t.

    “Hi, how are you? …Good? Great. Let me go on for 30min on a topic you may care or not about and do so uninterrupted, and if you don’t like it, I will make a quippy post online about it, okay? Like, for sure people will take my side. Win/win.”

      Tbh if someone talked off the bat about their passion itd make me a lot more likely to want to date them. I want people to talk about what interests them and with most people it feels like pulling teeth trying to get them to do that.

      Honestly, I love it when people start geeking out. It’s fun, and usually i learn something new.

        Same as long as this isn’t the only thing they do. I work with a guy that loves to talk about his passions and it’s awesome for like thirty minutes. Then it’s alright for another 15-20. After that it starts to drag and I begin to feel the weight of my mounting unfinished tasks.

      I don’t think this post is meant as quippy, but rather self-deprecating. She only realized afterwards that she talked a little too much…
