Reminds me of the woman who was a serious football fan. While watching a game with several male co-workers, one of the men asked her, “Does your husband like football?” “Yes, he does,” she replied. “Good!” he says. “It would be a shame to waste a wife like you on a man who doesn’t like football.”
Right there you’ve got Ben Franklin on your side!
Ah, very true. Maybe I’m already further along than she. [:'(]
Just put yourself out there and be open to new experiences… If you meet the “right one” it won’t matter if she likes trains or not.
There is a woman on staff at Trains…From 1972 to about 1990ish Dungeons and Dragons and role playing games were a male only onclave. Then movies like Harry Potter and the Vampire Genre came out that mixed fantasy and romance. Then young women and nerdy became cool. If we could bring the romance back to the rails via some good movies and romance storys then we might be on to something. Murder on the Orient Express with Johney Depp was a start…though it seems that movie flopped. We male railroad foamers go on and on about tech specs but we need to tell more storys and have more romance.[U] We have broken too many hearts by our obbsesion with details and need to look at the whole picture

Could you please restate your above paragraph in 10 words or less so we all know exactly what your point was, and how it relates to your original post?
It has been recommended to you before, but after taking a class on lecturing most people tend to be able to articulate matters better, and know how to stay on topic, on theme if you will.
ALSO, being ABLE to stay on a subject with a date will impress them. And, you definitely want to impress a girl that you like …
K.P.
Sure- Nerdy train geek seeks Nerdette whoes instrests would include trains, Star Trek and Dungeons and Dragons. Breakdown- this is more likley now then 20 years ago as more women are into engineering and role playing games. The number of women who are taking engineering at RIT,MIT and Carneigie are up. The intrest by the fairer sex in Role Playing Games and Sceince Fiction can be atributed to JK Rowling and Sci-Fi Romance Novels.
PUI (Posting under the Influence) is almost as bad as DUI.
I think I must have a virus - I am really nauseous this morning…[+o(] I hope no one catches it…
I’ll be sure to disinfect my keyboard…
I’ll disinfect my computer and monitor.
I got sticky keys
Stop looking at pictures that make you drool. I had to curtail my searching for images of steam locomotives for that reason.
A man surnamed Jiang from Beijing proposed to his girlfriend on a high-speed train heading to Chengdu from Beijing days before the 2018 Valentine’s Day.
The high-speed train proposal was planned by Jiang and his friends two months ago as a big surprise for his girlfriend.
“I will marry him, and I appreciate the romance he created,” Jiang’s girlfriend said…
I like to say that if my wife can put up with me, I sure as heck can put up with her. Thats worked for me for 58 years. My daughter still laughs at the time when she was dating her future husband and they were in the car together with my wife and me. I drove into the parking lot at a train station (It was about time for the westbound Amtrak) and he was not aware of my railfan proclivities. He wondered what we were doing. I still don’t think he comprehends it.
As much as I like trains and model railroading, those interests in a wife would be pretty low on my list.
Go with good character and shared values and you’ll never have much problem with your hobbies - provided they don’t become an obsession…[8-|]
