I don't think it's so much about your commitment to SF.
I know way too many people who see SF as a - pretty sad, desperate to escape reality, never grew up (in a retarded loser sense) - type of interest. Even within SF and Fantasy there's loads of cliques and a fair amount of disrespect floating about.
So really it comes down to how open and tolerent of your interests the other is, whatever those interests may be.
