If you'd rather get in a relationship with someone just to do some Pygmalion shit vis a vi their interests instead of relating to someone with an already established sense of taste and opinions then I personally think you should get your shit rocked

More often than not these are also the kinds of people who don't know how to talk about their interests in ways that are relational and will immediately jump into being vauge or condescending. Like whatever, not everyone has mastered the art of conversation, but it's kind of rude at best if you're not even going to be inquisitive about what the other person likes before you instruct them on the nuances of getting into your favorite video game franchise. Consider if they ever asked you

we all need to take better care of our selfs or we might Pass away

So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.
