What does your girlfriend or wife think about your old game collection?

[Golgo13]

Hahahahahaha, I saw a t-shirt that had that, with an arrow pointing down.

[nat]

Hmm, do I see a trend here?

Dump that broad.

Dump that broad.

Agreed,I know I f*ckin would.

Dump that bitch. NOW.

Another vote for kicking her to the curb

Well, I'm a trendy guy, so here's one more for losing the snooty cow.

Seriously, I've always said and I'll say again, if her personality doesn't mesh with your Turbo lifestyle, maybe you two aren't such a good match.

My wife surprised me the other day. I was talking about possibly selling off my video collection someday (in the far, far distant future). She responded with, "Don't be ridiculous-- I will NOT let you do that." Then she went on about how cool that stuff would be to show our currently nonexistent kids sometime after they happen to start existing and could appreciate games "from the old days". Keep in mind she is not a gamer like me, which is why the response surprised me a little. On the other hand, she is no hater and appreciates everything I like on some level because, well, I like it.

THAT'S the kind of woman you need to find yourself.

My wife was shocked at how many game systems I had when I first moved all my crap in from my storage into our place.     (And I don't even have a lot compared to some people.)

In the end, she doesn't really care -- or at least if she does, I don't hear about it.  I don't give her too much crap about her junk, so I expect the same in return.

This is why I'm not getting a girlfriend.



As for Golgo13, I completely expect to watch Cold Case Files in 2029 and hear the horrific tale of a mutilated woman dumped in land fill. With a Bonk 3 HuCard embedded in her skull.



J/K Golgo.

Dont get me wrong guys, she isnt making wretched screeching noises about it or anything, she never has told me she doesnt like my games, but she does require attention, so sometimes when I want to play turbo duo and not listen to what she is saying, it can be annoying, but overall she is is a really good woman, Im 24 and she is 27 so she has become a little more bitchy as women tend to get at that age.

Speaking more positively of girlfriends, Do any of you have suggestions for finding a nerdess?

@ nat:  I think you found yourself a keeper.  Now don't let her escape (use duct tape, if necessary).

Use loads of cash as bait - nearly limitless funding for their nerdy ways will surely help reel 'em in.  I've also heard that listening to the ladies is a plus, but I don't believe it and refuse to even try.

I have lots of suggestions and recommendations.  I am actually in the process of writing a 'Hint Book' for guys on dating.  Honestly.  Posting on this forum has detracted from it!!   

Since my editor is not willing to pay my living expenses, she'll have to wait for me to complete it on my own damn time around my hectic work life (which I post often from - like now).

It's not a 'get laid' type of book or my views on dating.  Women are complex and it's a way of helping dudes interact with women they are romantically interested in.  It also has a good "warning signs" section.

I am always here to help my Turbo brothers and sisters find a good match.

Just start talking to every hot girl you see, sooner or later you're bound to find one who isn't repulsed by you.  Don't compliment them either, EVER, until you're getting consistent sex.  Girls never respect guys who tell them how attractive they are.

I agree with this, but there is a balance, I live in europe now, but I assume you live in america, and if you live back there, the key word is "a$$hole".  Remember, dont be a nice guy, I had countless friends who never got any girls because the girls would say they are "Too Nice" and just want to be friends.  You have to be an a$$hole, and act like you dont give a f*ck about them, and they will like you, now the first one is always the hardest, after that, when other girls sense you have a girlfriend, they will be all over you.

Speaking of that, any of you guys notice that, you get a girlfriend and all of a sudden girls start showing up more and more and are more interested in you?

It goes with the "Bad Boy" theory.  It's exciting to be with a guy that you shouldn't be with.  Ooo, he's got a girlfriend...

more over...

Once you get a girlfriend, you're not trying so damned hard to get one (which is a HUGE turn off to the ladies) and they are attracted to you being yourself.

Unless "Yourself" happens to a guy thats "Too Nice" and then you should practice being someone else, like an a$$hole.  hahahahaha

I gotta hear this man, what warning signs

[offsidewing]

I gotta hear this man, what warning signs

Three absolutes to stay away from, PERIOD:
1.  She talks to her mother more than her friends.
2.  Treats her pet like a child.
3.  Calls her former relationships "Ex'es"

Corresponding reasonings:
1.  She talks to her mother more than her friends for two reasons.  1.  She has no confidence in herself as a person.  Mom is always their to listen to her insecurities.  Which means she probably lacks the skills to make trusting relationships with other people.  2.  Controlling Mother.  Avoid at all costs.

2.  Good sign this chick is from a horribly broken home, but most importantly a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS.  Nothing like dropping $500 on Cirque du Solei and leaving after only 90 minutes because she doesn't want 'Molly' the long haired doggy to get lonely at home.

3.  Obvious sign that this chick is not over any of her past relationships and has serious closure issues.  Sometimes relationships just don't work out and this woman needs to know why for every single one and there must be an associative blame for the relationship ending.  Count on her to compare your relationship to every one she's ever had.

Id say thats pretty good.
