How many of you like comics and collect action figures and have a girlfriend?

[Erzengel]

I don't make it a big deal out of it I just don't make it the 1st topic of discussion either.

 

[Drakon]

You mean, instead of getting the grilled cheese shaped like Mickey Mouse?

You leave Mickey out of this!

That's all I'm saying.

I always ask girls this: So if you could be Arwen, Princess Leia or Lieutenant Uhura who would you be?

 

[C. Lee]

I knew I was in heaven when I had this conversation with my wife while we were dating.

Me - I like reading a lot of different stuff...but mostly Science Fiction.

Her - Me too.

Me - (thinking...could this be true?) Yeah...I just recently reread some of the John Carter books.

Her - Those are good....did you read the comics they did of them in the back of the Tarzan comic books years ago?


KA-CHING.....WE HAVE A KEEPER!!!

so if this happens:

Erz: Hey, Girl. I'm Erz.
Girl: Hi Erz, nice to meet you, I'm Girl.
Erz: Some party, huh? come here often?
Girl: Sure, all the time.
*Erz takes a swig*
Girl: so, Erz. Tell me about yourself.

What do you say?

I've never had a girl ask me that before.

But if she ever did, I'd tell her how old I was, where I lived, what I do and what I do for fun.

However just thinking about the "what I do for fun" part in my head it just sounds so assinine. Hanging out with friends? What most people do? Besides I usually ask the questions so the girl does most of the talking anyways.

pop quiz hot shot...

on one side you have a hot ass woman naked spread eagle wanting you to do things to her.

on the other side you have Mint copies of Superman, Batman and Spider-man.. all number 1 issues.

You can only choose one.... what do you do.... WHAT DO YOU DO!!!

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

I have a girlfriend and she knows I collect comics and teases me about it, she is pretty boring and is not interested in seeing the superhero movies like X-Men, Batman, etc, etc.

That's why when I go out to buy comics I never tell her what I'm going out to do.

Would you include collecting comics and action figures in "what you do for fun?"


Me, I'd say "I'm Ronny. I'm 21. I draw comics, make movies and rap."

I'd go for the comics. The money those puppies can fetch'll give you smooth sailing for years.

but it depends on the woman

that negates my post then.

you only have one option.

Just lie Ronny. Say you are a voice actor, race car driver or a pirate or something.

Things? What type of things?

 

[Equint77]

which option?

bang the hot woman or take mint condition comics.

you can't have both.... only god can.

Yeah sure it is.

 

[Equint77]

you can play hide the beer bottle with her.

I said comics, didn't I?

But if it was a specific woman I was totally in love with or had been lusting after for years and wouldn't ever get the chance again, I'd probably have to pick woman.

The problem isn't collecting comic books. The problem is only being known for collecting comic books. If that's what defines you, people won't take you seriously.

Now that is smart.

But anyway, just last out the next three crappy years. Then things can get better. And you'll find adults, like you will be, who don't mind if you have some sort of "childish" thing you do for fun.

There are 50 year old men who build model planes or boats, 30 year old women who collect stuffed animals and adults who love to drive around the yard with their remote control car. Because after high school, it becomes easier to be yourself.

I'm 38, like RPGs, comics, and some other stuff I probably would have kept hidden in high school. I was NOT popular in high school. I married a girl who was also not popular in high school. Two nerds or former nerds. Whatever. I get all the lovin' I could ever want!

There's someone for everyone; you'll find someone who likes you for the kind of person you are. Someone who likes you as much as you like them.

 

[webhead731]

I hope so lol.

Thanks.

The trick is to wear your geekism as a charming eccentricity rather than something dark and obsessive. Keep most of your stuff stored in the attic, but have one relatively iconic action figure (vis. Superman) somewhere, as this can be passed off as slightly chic, softening the blow when she discovers the four hundred WWF toys you have upstairs. Similarly, have a comic or two on your coffee table, amongst lots of other books displaying broader cultural interests.

The thing is to show that your geekism is just a part of you.

I've collected comics since I was 11 (I'm 26 now), and I've never told any of my girlfriends, including my current one about it. None of my close friends know about my collecting either. The only person who shares my interests is my younger brother, and people on the Internet. I'm not ashamed of my love for comics, nor my collection, I just don't see my love of comics as being something that defines me. And I don't feel that I have to blurt out 'I READ COMICS' to every girl I meet either.

And if I had the choice between a totally hot naked chick, and Batman, Superman, Spiderman #1, all NM, I'd choose the comics. Then I'd sell them, and buy myself 5 or 6 totally hot naked chicks. Then when I realised how shallow I'd been I'd regret it and try and get the comics back. The folly of being male...

I just hacked your account and downloaded your aim buddy list. I'm sorry now everyone in your life knows.
