2 responses from people to saying you are into model trains; Getting a blank look focused over your shoulder, from guys and women, or rarely a slow smile and “that’s cool” when they see the joy it brings
I have two instances of a coworker saying "Wait, your girlfriend lets you?" while talking about videogames. It's not a lot it's juste weird it happened twice.
I'm glad my special interest is repellant to shallow, obtuse people like this. I'm happy AF Shiny hunting with my partner, being our strange, wonderful, authentic selves; we're straight chillin'.
my father is walking proof of this, right after moving out he converted my bedroom into a giant model train set complete with handmade terrains painted by my mom
The only hobby that makes a guy undateable is watching red piller incel podcasts or being part of the proud boys or any other fascist, bigoted group. Any other hobby is fine as long as they're still decent people and decent partners. Everyone needs to let off steam somehow.
My first child has a grass themed name. Just birthed our second and gave him a water name. We need a third (and a non-lame fire related name) to complete the set of starters Nerds breed these days. Pokemon is cool
It's one of those things where, it doesn't really do anything for me, but I can understand the appeal. Having a little, scale-replica town with moving, functioning trains sounds kinda neat, but I feel like the novelty would wear off quickly, at least for me.
For all the crap people pile on Steve Moffat over Dr Who, this was one of the best TV shows ever. I rewatch it every couple of years and pre-giggle at the Spiderman scene.
Dude... I cannot WAIT for the thirsty rage as these people realize that the WH fandom wants nothing to do with them. Either that, or a bunch of warhammer players are about to have to face the fact that it's not their hobby and its universe that these women hate, but them, and their shitty self care, attitudes, and emotional maturity.

I got laid because of my impressive pokemon card collection many moons ago. She sounds lame.

This hobby teaches one to be patient, handy in many different DIY skills, and keeps your busy, broke, and out of trouble.

At this point it should be "are you ONLY into trains".

My mom would LOVE a train guy boyfriend.

More time for trains.

I have met women who enjoy a good train.

Women are the quickest growing group within the model railway hobby!

"My first child has a grass themed name" - Barley? No wait: Reed. Zoysia? Angleton, that's a nice one...

Ember/Cinder for a girl? Ash/Helios for a boy? Magma/Oven ??

Please don't babe your child after the worst Pokemon (anime) protag. Also it's Elio for Alola.

I don't watch the anime so I wasn't aware. Helios is Greek/Latin for sun

Dumbass me: "Zoysia? Raleigh St. Augustine?" I briefly forgot what we were talking about

There's more than just letting them chase their tails. For many, it's bringing back memories of what they saw when they were younger, or 1/?

replicating something they wish they could have seen. For me, it's the steam era. I love the look of steam locomotives, but was born way 2/?
WisconsinCentral2714
too late to see them in service. I also enjoy the operations, switching cars like the real thing. It's a puzzle, and can be relaxing. 3/?

Freelancing is making up your own railroad or location, even going "What if this line was built to this town instead", or "What if 4/?

My husband plays Pokemon go and has the largest model train display I've ever seen. He also has a huge engine 😁

Honestly, trains is pretty normal as far as "obsessed hobby" goes.

I tell people, it's like Friends if Friends was adult, British and actually funny. (Loved his Who)
Niagaran
lol I would tell people "It's like Friends if it was funny and wasn't written by a committee"
CrisprCAS
She also didn't say Warhammer
pixelsnader
That's just pokemon with robots?
MyNameIsBatty
She also didn’t say feverishly masturbating in front of a mirror.
Ignak
Some people seems to be interested in the painting of the minis part tho, even if they don't play :)
LordHosk

EricPisch

albester
Erm ... is Warhammer a hobby or a job?
EmailFail
Yes
YpsilantiRomani
Only because she doesn't know what Warhammer is
Redshadow09
Or digimon, or video games, or Magic the gathering, Or Yugioh or....
SacrificialClam
She also didnt say murder and eating the bodies
CrisprCAS
So all of my hobbies are safe!
ThisGuyPostingThings
That's not a hobby, that's a lifestyle, like veganism or crossfit.
Asadsadsadclown
Warhammer doesnt make someone undatable but it is a massive red flag.
DRATandBLAST
Why?
ThisNameIsMaybeTaken
More likely to make bad financial decisions.
DRATandBLAST
That's fair.
Vebrandsson
I suspect she's the kind of person not aware Warhammer even exists.
radioFREEmadras
I don't think she knows that trains exist.
SoftKleenex
She will once Henry cavill is in it

SoftKleenex
Most likely the show won't be fully faithful to the lore
wabitgirl
Of course it won't, the lore is fucking batshit.
