But I can't for the life of me get my wife interested in medieval battle tactics. Starting to wonder if I've made a huge mistake here...
I've really tried everything, boyos. I lift 3 times a week + cardio twice a week, I've tried withdrawing attention when she dodges the subject, I've tried covertly putting on Kings and Generals during date nights, and in the heat of the moment I've even overtly told her the lack of enthusiasm is making me doubt the sincerity of her love.
What's my next move here? Do I dump the bitch? Do I cheat? If so, do I tell her afterwards or not? Or do I just accept the fact that I'll never be Chad, and that no woman will ever love me to that extent?

My wife hates rockets. She loves fishing. She hates D&D. She loves vampire movies. She hates eating out. She loves cooking. She will take interest insofar as making sure we have snacks and water when we go to rocket launches... have dinner ready in time for us to go to D&D well fed... cook things I like in a way I like them. Stuff like that.
There are just some things you both won't be into. This is normal and healthy. In fact, the more time you spend doing things you enjoy, the better. Polarity is what makes a relationship work. Let her be feminine and do feminine things. You be masculine and do masculine things. Find guys who are into medieval battles and be guys together. She'll support your frame by bringing you guys drinks and snacks while you play or whatever. That's basically her getting into your interests in a feminine way.
It's really hard to tell online if this is satire or not so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, it was supposed to be satire over not taking stuff too literally, but it fell through. Damn, I feel bad for wasting you guys' time now.

If she tried to get you into [insert very girly interest here] would you be able to get into it?
I'm sure Rollo wasn't referring to interests women find near-zero or zero appeal in. I think you are reading Rollo's essay literally. If medieval tactics dries her up like the Sahara, she's not going to.
If you're determined to see it through, there are a lot of video games with such battle tactics. Get her to like one and then maybe she'll get into it but I doubt

OP is likely trolling, but Rollo is right to an extent. She won't be a carbon copy version of you but she will pick up a lot of stuff.
My ex was a liberal and feminist. Back in 2016, I bombarded her with Milo Yannopolous and Ben Shapiro videos, effectively turning her conservative. She's read 3 books by Shapiro and knows more about the guy than I do. Went from a feminist to anti-feminist. Also introduced her to Jordan Peterson and a ton of racist jokes. Broke up because I was no longer attracted to her due to emotional manipulation but otherwise she's one of the coolest people I know
