What is this 'girlfriend' thing you speak of?

--- Quote from: mariocaseman on October 16, 2011, 04:46:33 PM ---Ok guys, got a problem. It appears I'm not exactly popular with the ladies because I have 500+ games and 12 consoles hooked up to one TV. I was devastated when I was laughed at, then rejected by a girl because she feels my collection makes me too much of a "little kid" even though I'm an adult.
Has anyone else had this happen? And how / when do you tell a girl you're a game collector, or do you just let her find them the first time she comes over?
All advice appreciated
Sincerely,
A Heartbroken Mariocaseman

Dude someone who doesnt like that you are a game collector is not worth your time. My girlfriend thinks its a little odd i have over 700 video games and 20 systems but as long as i still take her on dates and dont always play games shes fine with it you have to give a little to get a little. When you meet a girl do not say anything about your game collection just let things happen and when she comes over to your house she willl see the collection i cant tell you shell accept it but most women are fine with these things as long as you find time for them dont always stay home and play games go on dates go for a drive take her on a road trip, thats what i do with my girl and she loves me more then anything. truth be told if a girl doesn't like you for you she is not worth your time.

My wife supports me in my hobby and even sometimes plays games with me. She wants to help me get some arcade cabinets and set up a game room/ theater. I actually collect more than play, usually buy a game, then put it on the shelf.
Anyway, now I'm trying to get her to like the Star Wars movies, at least she likes the Family Guy versions.
Most things we do together. Anyway, it ain't worth it to be with someone that doesn't at least support what you like. She doesn't have to like it, but she shouldnt not like YOU for it. You'll find the right girl someday.
By the way, what's a GIR hat?

Gir is a character from the show Invader Zim. I went to an art school and a lot of the girls there were into animation/gaming wore hats like that. They're usually also into anime.
