    Beat the crap out of her if she doesn't.

    Why not just get into something she's interested in so she feels obligated to indulge you in your hobbies?

    I'm sure a few hours of shoe-shopping or watching John and Kate Plus 8 won't kill you. Though it may make you want to kill yourself.

    I'm so happy my wife is an avid knitter. Other than needing to leave her alone and not distract her if she's doing an intricate pattern, I can just chill on the other end of the couch and play games, watch a movie or do some Reprolabels.

    And I get free hats and mittens and stuff.

    Use positive association. Tape a picture of a male celebrity she likes onto a TF.

    Failing that, use time and patience. A significant other can sometimes learn to love the things you do simply because you love them. My better half was a casual TF fan at the start, but over time he's become hardcore like me.

    Everytime you change positions with her, make the transforming sound. After a while of doing that she will at least bs you about liking tfs to get you to stop

    Whatever you do, make sure she knows she takes precedence over the toys. Else you won't have a girlfriend to 'convert'.

    I hate to tell you, but that isn't a thesis.

    Yeah, my wife isn't a big fan, she tolerates it cuz she loves me (ok everyone: "ahhhhhh...that's so sweet!") but she likes the 07 movie. I buy her a diamond necklace and I get plenty of space to enjoy my hobby. She even surprised me by buying the G1 Box set (damn I love that woman!)

    The 2007 movie is the perfect jumping on point. Buy a movie Bumblebee, for "he is so cute", and allow her to enjoy him for a while. Then another figure from the movie can appear and you can suggest watching some of "the older Transformers stuff, like the cartoon". This works.

    Well, here's hoping if she does take a liking to Transformers, that she becomes a "fan" and not a "fangirl."

    Sadly, there is a difference. *shudders*

    Here is a hint: you don't.

    Just accept that she might not like what you like, and that's totally cool? Just see if she likes any of it...watch the movie with her or whatever, but why feel the need to 'convert'..?

    I agree. :|

    Fanboys and fangirls have their own ups and downs.

    Oh I think all the shocking and highly dodgy pictures of sex-changed TFs proves that. However, I'm sure that there are fanboys guilty of such sins also.
