Moderator - Prefers "stereo weirdo" to "audiophile"
OK...I wasn't going to weigh in on this, but I just couldn't resist.
I often tell my coworkers about the stuff that I run into as a moderator on this website. I showed some of them the first post in this thread, and here is a sample of the responses:

I don't mean to pick on you, but I do think that this really does look like a job for Captain Obvious.
When meeting a woman (note that I didn't say "girl") for the first time, remember that the first impression (whatever your intentions) is very important. If you start talking about ANYTHING that's not interesting (or at least a common interest), you're going to lose her attention in a hurry. Some things (as we've learned) are clearly worse than others.
Talking about things that only interest YOU will make you seem like a shallow, narcissistic boob...and she's surely known enough of them in her days. Now, you need to be aware that some things may seem very interesting to you, but cause her eyes to glaze over. Hard as this may be to believe, I'm thinking comic book superheroes rank high on that list. Right or wrong, women associate comic books with boys. Women are not interested in boys.
Talk about things that she's interested in...or at the very least, things that she might know nothing about that might seem interesting to her. Grown up things...
