So why do women find sci-fi unattractive
Posted: 4/27/2008 9:40:57 AM
I noticed on the little tips that women find sci-fi to be an unattractive topic. Which was also mentioned when someone reviewed my profile.

So I guess my question is, why? I would think that anyone who was an interest in this would be someone who is intelligent, and imaginative. Are those not attractive characteristics?

Of course not. Women (ALL WOMEN) want dumb and unimaginative guys.

Dull is the word of the week, baby.

I like science fiction movies, but I'm not obsessed with the topic. And I'm not a reader of sci fi books nor do i watch much of it on tv either. If a guy has it as an interest it's fine as long as he's not obsessed to the point of dressing up to go to conventions or movie premieres....

although i do dress up when i engage in my hobby...hmm...maybe that is hypocritical for me to say

I like Sci-fi to an extent. I don't think it's deal breaker, though, if someone I'm interested in likes it more than I do.

OP one should not believe everything one reads online... I have talked to plenty of women/ladies/girls (searching for that pc word there) who are into sci-fi... So maybe you just need to do a little better research if that is what you are into to find the ladies/girls/women (being fair changing the order there) who are into the same things you are...

Good Luck

Question for you: do you like biographies, books or TV shows? No? find it an unattractive topic, as in your eyes roll when anyone would talk about it?

Gee, my question is why? I would think that anyone who has an interest in biographies... see where I'm going with this?

Some will like sci-fi, some (like me) won't. This doesn't make it a deal breaker but if a guy who is an avid fan of sci-fi, then I'll reconsider as I'm definitely not the woman for him. But to someone who loves it, you're it man! You're the man! Keep it in your profile as a mention, maybe not make it the entire profile but then again, it totally depends on the type of woman you're trying to attract.

I like Sci-Fi, then again I like MMA [new founded interest] and football and will watch a game on my own; so I guess I'm not the typical woman.

If a guy goes to the conventions and dresses up and can speak Klingon or even Ferengi (sp??) [I dated a few guys like this when I was younger, live and learn] it was funny, to be 'seduced' in Klingon, but it wasn't everything. If a guy is well balanced and likes to watch some Sci-Fi, I will watch with him, nbd; it's fun. It gets the imagination going; an an imaginationis a VERY good thing.

Oh contrare my dear. I am a Star Wars junkie. (Old school, of course) And X-Files? Own the collection. Stargate? I take credit for introducing my ex to that. Ray Bradbury? One of my favorites. Star Trek? I prefer Next Generation... to each his own. I also have an extensive collection of fantasy books. Working on Robert Jordan now. Also love Eddings and Brooks. And finally, I will admit to lusting over R.A. Salvatore's character Drizzt, a Drow Elf gone good. There are lots of us out here. We're just hiding in books.

I would love to find a sci fi geek. I am getting tired of men who only watch Nascar.

OP,

It's simply not true. While some women don't give a "frell" about sci-fi and simply can't "grok" it, there are plenty of women who "assimilate" sci-fi into their lives... and frankly, "resistance is futile".

If you enjoy sci-fi, leave it as an interest, certainly. There are plenty of ladies who will share your interest. If you live for sci-fi, hopefully you can follow the "Glory Road" and find "Time Enough for Love" with the right woman!

Infinite Variety! Cheers!

I like mostly horror and macabre, but will get into some sci-fi depending on the topic...I like to read and watch movies of that genre, but have watched series. The X-Files was one of my favs. But that's just one thing I like to do in my spare time. It doesn't define me. Same with most of my other activities and interests.

I like men who are into it for entertainment, but when I hear it from some men, I just get the whole sci-fi convention/souvenir vibe. Sort of like trekkies. I think I'd have to know in what context it was being said in and who's saying it.

That's so not true.

Tons of women LOVE sci-fi. I've been to fantasy/sci-fi conventions and probably 40% of the people at them are women.

If you are hoping to get a girly, Paris Hilton type you'll run into lots of women who think it's dorky and unattractive, but trust me, look in the right place and you'll find droves of female sci-fi fans who would love to hook up with a fellow geek.

SOME women don't like it. Some of us are geeks at heart and love Sci Fi, Fantasy and Trek. I couldn't imagine dating someone who didn't know who David Eddings, Weis & Hickman were, let alone get serious about him.

I like Sci Fi and Fantasys too, because I can drift off into my own little space and dream.

My only gripe against sci-fi is that it's an area of interest that can function as blinders. I've known a lot of sci-fi fans who have been so entrenched in science fiction that it's difficult to broach any unrelated topic of conversation with them. Since I'm not into sci-fi/fantasy/cyber-punk/speculative fiction or any of those semi-related genres, an enthusiasm for that stuff isn't high on my list of charming qualities.

As long as a guy has other interests though, I'm probably willing to meet him halfway on the sci-fi thing.

Are you joking? I love sci-fi! Books, movies, tv - I want to find a guy that I can discuss silly stuff like Capt. Kirk vs. Chewbacca with! That's important stuff! Cheers!

Sci-fi is very broad so it would depend what kind of sci-fi.

If we are talking Supernatural(Jensen Ackles ) I am so there..............

If we are talking Alien Vs Predator, I am so not there.

Cheers,

The 79 women in Canada between 25-35yrs old aren't enough choices?
