I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Definitely. I'd totally fall in love. With coelacanths

[–] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I coelacant live without you babes

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago (2 children)

honestly, neurodiverse people shouldn't date neurotypicals.

neurotypicals are too weird.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's true. They think we're boring, we think they're boring. I remember dating a definitely NT person and was baffled that they never wanted to do deep dives on any topics with me.

Who wouldn't want to spend all weekend with their partner learning about the history of weaving and how various textile related machinery works, then cap it off by marathon playing Loom in robes?! Weirdos.

my NT ex said that me talking about my interest is abuse, yet she has no trouble abusing me till suicide.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If I may be blunt, I don't think that's because your ex is NT. It sounds like your ex is just an abusive asshole. I'm sorry you had to deal with their abuse.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

honestly, I'm sorry for traumadumping, took some gummies and I'm not really me.

from now on I'll aim to date neurodiverse people instead, we are more fun anyways.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

No apology necessary, I didn't even think of it as trauma dumping. Sometimes things just come up and I think that's okay.

Enjoy your gummies!

Too specific. Needed at least a quick refresher on all ocean life first. Gotta let them get warmed up before you hit them with the good stuff.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 56 points 3 days ago (12 children)

It's like this idiot had never heard of foreplay

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah you gotta leave them wanting more. If you give up the coelacanth on the first date, he doesn't have a reason to come back for a second date.

Once you hit'em with the "coelacanth is closer related to us than gold fish" gambit, which leads to the "what is fish" manoeuvre, and finish them with a "whales are fish and birds are reptiles" pincer attack, they're as good as gone.

Wait.

Me: Rambling about some esoteric topic that has no practical application to any part of my life.

My Wife: Listening intently even though she has no clue what I'm talking about.

I usually realize how long I've been going on when she starts smiling because she "thinks it's cute."

I don't often feel like I've won the jackpot, but I sure did with this lady.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 27 points 3 days ago

I also choose this guy's alive wife.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 18 points 3 days ago

A keeper for sure. Just be sure to respond in kind.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Next time tip the scales in your favor with a more positive approach. Little less coelaCAN'Th, little more coelacCANth.

[–] Morphit@feddit.uk 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And absolutely no coelacanþ.

See, this one knows what she's doing.

If that was me, i'd text her right after the date asking to subscribe to fish facts.

So she's knowledgeable and passionate about something and can hold a conversation instead of making the other person do all the work?

And he ghosted her???

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Was it a conversation or a knowledge dump without a lot of interaction?

I like the other person to show a little bit of interest in me, but that’s just me. I could be wrong.

Their loss. Nothing sexier than someone being passionate about their interests. I’ll listen to someone tell me about their collection of severed heads if they’ve got passion for it

By "fish people" do you mean like Deep Ones?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I’m pretty sure my son would have been into this

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

I would love to meet someone who had so much enthusiasm for a topic that they want to teach me about it. I may not always understand, but I would listen to her all night long.

[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hang on, are special interests a mating display behavior???

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There was a study indicating it was a common flirting tactic for some neurodiverse people and it kinda went viral.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is how my wife courted me, except with René Magritte instead of coelacanths.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You may be entitled to seek compensation.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

Why, did someone take an apple to the face?

[–] portuga@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I’d spend 30 min back arguing on the correct pronouncing of qualiacontiks

Based on the replies you've gotten so far I suspect this may be a joke I'm not getting, but I'm choosing to react as if it's a genuine question anyway.

A coelacanth is a super old fish that everyone thought was extinct, and then one day we just happened to find them alive! They're a "living fossil" animal in that they haven't changed much in a very long time and give us a window into the past. Here's a picture I stole:

Understandable, I only know what they are from Animal Crossing.

It's a fish you can only catch while it's raining.
