Our collecting habit, and how it effects our chances with girls...

[NASEDO]

I have a similar story:

I was 25 and heavy into murder/dismemberment when I met my future wife (she's 1 year younger than me). At the time, I was working full time and killing part time, and I maintained a collection / trophy room in my parents' attic (remember...still killing part time here). I'm talking dismembered body parts dominating the room: 25+ skulls, 100+ legs, arms, etc. Throw in dead animals, porn magazines, etc.

You can imagine how it looked.

Second date, and we end up at my house. It was a casual date, so we'd gone out to dinner with a friend of mine that sometime helped me kill people. Then the ******* comes up with the great idea of "Hey, why don't we go back to your house and go up in your parents attic!"

To which the future Mrs. replied "Yeah, that'll be fun."

Oh crap. I wanted to decapitate my friend right then and there. Before I opened the door, I said something to the effect of "I'm a really big Animal Planet fan, and I collect a lot of dead stuff. A LOT. Just so you're prepared."


Lo and behold, my wife later told me the moment she saw that collection, she did hesitate and think "Okaaay... 911!!!!"

But the key thing is that she didn't judge me for it. She was willing to look past it until she got to know me better rather than assume I was a psychopathic, serial killer. And by the time she knew the truth it was already too late to call the cops. That was 8 years ago, and we've been married ever since.

So, AVP, hang in there. Not all girls your age are going to be as immature. You'll find one who accepts you and what you do without judgment or shallowness. If not, that's what crawlspaces are for: to bury people.

I would have made love to u the moment I walk though the door!

Actually it's the "love of money that's the root of all evil". Still funny, regardless. Since practically all women love money .

Everybody loves money. And men have more expensive toys usually.

But, don't women usually "collect" other expensive stuff, like designer shoes, designer hand bags, clothing from Sachs, jewelery from Kay's, etc, etc, etc?

Giggle giggle. So stereotypical, but often so true.

<--- Female. But I never did understand that. I mean, there's only so much one can wear, then things just get silly.

S'pose there's plenty of arguments against toy collecting too, though, so I'll hush up.

Who do you date?

My purse cost $10.

I guess I'm running in the wrong crowd.

 

[Kabukiman]

My purse cost $10.

Baby, I'd buy you an $11 purse.

 

[Darth Caedus]

My purse cost $20.....err, not purse....it's a man bag.....

 

[Devil_666]

Baby, I'd buy you an $21 man bag.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

My purse cost $20.....err, not purse....it's a man bag.....

 

[The Ween]

Nah, just give me the $21.

Hey, I don't understand women, either . Well, most women... (no, make that any woman).

No one as of right now. But, I live in the heart of NYC, where women are like faux Manhattan debutantes. And in some cases, they actually end up being real debutantes. This one time, I told a girl that I was a nephew of the "Count of Marmaduke" and she believed me... I think .

That explains it. Most women are not like those girls. We can't afford to be for one thing. Plus, even if I did have expensive tastes, where would I wear that stuff? To the mall? To Outback Steakhouse?

I spend my money on bills mostly, then collectibles, DVDs and CDs. That's about it.

I'd buy a Zip-Loc. In my mind, I should get brownie points for sensibility and brand recognition .

Okay, so a girl found out I collected, she ruined part of my social life with rumors, I beat her ass end of story.

this thread reminds me of that song by adam sandler called "ode to my car". the best line is "If a girlie ever sees my car, there's no chance i'll ever bang her."


so "If a girlie ever sees my toy collection, there's no chance i'll ever bang her."
