"Ooh that's really cool" is not what I'd expect to hear after saying I'm a software engineer

Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.

Don’t discriminate. Many men want a guy that can provide too.

Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don't find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they're passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

how so? my experience is that people tend to be impressed and intrigued and they hear I'm a software engineer

It's something I write when I don't have anything else to say

It might not be genuine interesting

tbh if I hear someone is into tech I'm interested

like yay someone with interests!

and others who aren't interested in tech are interested anyway because what we do sounds like some sort of witchcraft to them loll
