Ladies, is it a turn off for a guy to have a nerdy side?
So I'm a decent looking guy with a good foundation on my feet. I've finished college and have a great job.
I'd love to bring a girl back to my place and make her dinner, but I'm a bit of a nerd. I collect lots of lego sets and have them set up around my house as decoration, and I also collect and play old video games (sonic the hedgehog, Mario, Zelda, and many many more).
Both collections are rather big, but they are not my whole life at all. I love working out, hunting, cooking, salsa dancing, and other stuff too.
Do you think I should drop the nerdy collections and move on? Or are they not that bad of a turnoff?

Don't drop your collections . But if there is a way to tone them down a bit, and by that I mean put stuff away when you are expecting company, until you get to know a girl. Then you can share more of what you like and that includes your collections. What I mean is, that maybe if a girl saw all that stuff laying all around your house, it might look too much like "this dude never grew up/ he may not be mature" and you don't want a girls first impression to be that. I knew a guy that was 35 and had Disney painted cels hung in his home. They were beautiful, but that and listening to radio Disney was just too much. See what I mean? Otherwise, yes we love the geeky nerdy side of guys, but let us get to know you slowly. Kind of like if a girl tells you too much on a first date, its kind of like that. When you first date someone and you think you are compatible, you need to take time to get to know each other. And then you can learn about each others hobbies/ quirks/ geeky stuff/ pet peeves etc. Just not all in the beginning. Good luck.

No way. Don't make getting a girl the focus of your life. Make what you enjoy in life the focus. We all have hobbies or interests, some of which might seem unique to others, but that's good. It means you are your own person. If she likes you, she won't be bothered by your collection, and indeed may find it interesting.
Don't change who you are to impress a girl. If you do, you'll never find the right girl.

No not at all. If you bring a girl back for dinner and she is turned off by you having a bit of a nerdy side then she's not the right girl. But personally I like it. It makes the person more interesting to see the things they are into.
