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.
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.

Sounds like a dream date, tbh.

Ohh man, maybe my extensive knowledge of Europa Universalis 4 will pay off after all.
Honestly, I love it when people start geeking out. It’s fun, and usually i learn something new.

This is also true. Context is important.
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…
