Simp: Hides parts of himself in a futile attempt to gain validation from women and being liked by them.
Based man: Lets all parts of him remain in full view, disqualifies any woman who takes any issue with it instead of compromising himself to impress them.
If I fvcking love Rubik's Cubes and some woman thinks negatively about it then she's not my type of woman. She can get lost for insulting my interests.
I play DnD ffs, doesn't get much nerdier than that, but no woman so far has seen that as any issue. They'd have no clue if I didn't say it because I don't walk, talk, dress or act like a stereotypical socially awkward nerd. The problem is never the interest, but carrying yourself like other people are aliens who you don't know how to interact with is the problem. At worst they don't care that I play DnD, it doesn't score me any positive points, but also doesn't score me any negative points. Some are intrigued by it and I've had longer conversations with women talking about what it is, how it works, what's fun about it and so on while they remain engaged in the conversation.
Only insecure dudes consider hiding such interests and it's their insecurity in itself that is the real problem, not the interests.
Sure, there are some women who will have prejudice the moment they hear about a particular interest, but they're just stupid superficial cvnts anyways.
