Thes Hunter Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think this is a good girlfriend test. If she is all like "OMG these are so cool, can you teach me to paint them?!" She's a keeper. If she is all "OMG, why did you spend your money on this junk?" NEXT! It's a sign, and a bad sign, that she will be telling you what to like the rest of the relationship. You need someone who will like and accept you for who you are. *ends soap box* 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxila Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I keep telling my kid to find himself a nice geek/hobbist/fangirl he'll always be broke but he'll have somebody to share your interests with 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonGrfx Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My wife really appreciates that my hobby keeps me close to home and not out a some "sports bar with the guys" (which is code for strip club), or into boats and fishing, or golf. There is something endearing I think about a man that recognizes that toys are for grownups too. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingo Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Marvin, I'm sure you didn't mean it, but that sounds kind of insensitive. My husband isn't personally into minis but thinks it's neat how I paint them up. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory that everyone has a certain amount of stupid and you want to get through it as quickly as possible and finally do something right. The faster you get tehre the better. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Edit, lest anyone take anything the wrong way: No harshing of anyone's buzzes intended. Just playin' on words. But leaving this part, because srsly: Here's one of my favorite crones, who, you know, probably would make a pretty good mini, really.

pinkymadigan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Is that the prince of thieves witch or the army of darkness witch? Either one is good, of course, but I can't tell which witch is which. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kay13 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I keep telling my kid to find himself a nice geek/hobbist/fangirl he'll always be broke but he'll have somebody to share your interests with Hmmmm not necessarily.... Quite a few of them are in technical fields..... so earn good money.... Lots and lots of toys in the house would be a certainty though! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Don't worry about finding a geeky partner. Find someone that can appreciate your interest in the hobby. Whether they participate in the hobby or not is irrelevant so long as they accept your love of it. My wife couldn't tell an elf from a dwarf. And teases me about my little metal men and Legos. She hasn't even seen all of A New Hope. But she is also one of the first people to buy me a cool Batman cake pan, or Legos when I got my teaching license, and sat through Star Tours twice so me and the kids could ride, and waited in line so they could do the Jedi Academy at Disney (I still think it's BS I couldn't be a Padawan because I was too old. I even told the folks they could just ask my wife, I'm an 8 year old!). And if you make fun of my hobbies in her presence, she'll skin your hide. She has no interest in ever participating. But she also will not prevent me from participating. Just like I have very little interest in music, but we could supply a small orchestra with the instruments she owns. Support and encourage your loved one's choices, and it will be fine. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadZeke Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I keep telling my kid to find himself a nice geek/hobbist/fangirl he'll always be broke but he'll have somebody to share your interests with I keep hearing that too....lol. But being single means more money to spend on minis and such! I have my priorities straight, ayup. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
