How to best present my geek interests on dating apps?

So I have been very closed off and introverted for a number of years. I am finally trying to get back out there and while I am making steps to get into new social circles I wanted to try online dating as well.

Going into this I wanted to bring the most authentic me i can to the dating scene and be clear about some of my geekier interests (video games, internet memes, star wars, you name it). Unfortunately these do have stigmas to them and I feel by showing my interest in them people will overlook my profile assuming I cant be open to other interests. If I avoid including this however, I feel I compromise some core interests that make me who I am and could lead to incompatibility anyways.

How might you guys recommend presenting this information in a dating profile, if at all?

I do have interests in disc golf, playing guitar, hiking, been getting more into my health, travelling, etc... but when I go home to relax, chances are I'm going into one of my core interests eventually 😂
