But if she's your girlfriend, wouldn't she also be into games and nerdy stuff?
Probably not because girls interested in nerd stuff are still a rare minority that become even more rare with the overage. People believe that things like gaming are a common reality but then the reality fails on simple alot of casuals that's believe owning a playstation make them nerds. This ruins the relationships, not just nerdy stuff, but everything that is a religious dedication, and when this things are hobbies like games easily a casual will not understand and will blames you for how you spending your time.
So given a hypothetical scenario in which you somehow got a girlfriend, you are inclined to think you got that far in a relationship with someone and somehow don't see eye to eye on gaming and hobbies (in spite of you acknowledging women who are into the stuff do exist)?
I would think the fact you and the hypothetical girlfriend are in a relationship means there is a pretty good chance she is one of those.

This is a weird mentality and not my experience at all. Many women love and are deep into games. You just need to be a nice person and keep meeting people.. and like, actually meet new people, many struggle with that part.
It may be less but certainly not a "rare minority".
