In my experience, yes. It just depends on the women you're talking to.
As a not-unattractive nerd, I've gotten a lot of dates from the local game shop, DnD games, stuff like that. Warhammer much less so, that's a super male-dominated hobby in my experience and I didn't get much into it until I was already seeing my wife. But! If you do nice work and don't overwhelm people with exposition, most folks are at least moderately interested. It's a skill most people think they "just couldn't do", I like to show them how easy it can be, which makes for a fun evening.
Just be pleasant about it and don't date assholes, really
