Just don't mention that you collect or show your collection until your pretty positive that the girl likes you for you if your that worried about it.
Some chicks have a nerd hidden deep inside and won't feel comfortable until they have the guts to tell you what they're about. Then you show them your toys and it's easier for them to be themselves afterwards. I wonder what dudes think when their gf's have a TF collection?
I'd say that when you do meet a nice girl and start talking to her, openly confess as soon as possible that you collect "toys". If she calls you a nerd and leaves, she's a shallow ass that doesn't deserve you. But if she doesn't care or seems interested, you might have the fish on the hook That's at least how I would do things... although taking advice from someone with 0% experience with love might be a bit of a gamble.
I wouldn't let my gal spend the night until she could name all five Dinobots on my TV. Then I transformed them and mixed up the order and made her do it again.
You know, I went out with a chick a couple months ago and I was straight up honest from the get go - I like giant robot stuff. And guess what happened? We went and saw Transformers after dinner on our first date per her suggestion. People don't have to like what you like, but they should respect your personal interests. Now, what's the difference between a little girl who collects Barbie stuff and an adult who goes shopping for herself? Answer: The adult has become her own Barbie.
"Making her Butthole Wet and Other Practical Advice for the Non-Date Rapist," on shelves this Valentine's! Meet the author at his Botcon book signing!
It's a win-win XD While I do get wierd looks (quite frequently), my girlfriend still supports whatever I do and I support whatever she does...
I think one needs to be willing to change a bit for the sake of a relationship, but it depends on the circumstances. If it's the very beginning of a relationship and she can't get past your TF collection, there'd probably be other issues come up soon enough to drive her away anyway. If it's just a casual relationship and she wants you to sell your TF collection, provide her with a detailed map to the door. However, if it's a stable relationship that's been going on for awhile and she's asking you to sell them, it might not be a bad idea to find out why she's making the request and discuss a potential compromise. Wait, so is that intended to be advice for guys who don't commit date rape (the Non-Date Rapist) or for those who will commit rape, but not on dates (the Non-Date Rapist)? Seems to be a distinction that could impact the book's potential target audience.
I'll dedicate a chapter to each topic. I'd think even rapists could use some better first lines. Maybe non-date rapists are that way because they simply can't get dates. Either way, my book is here to help.
With fosterlager's teachings, rapists will become no more. The women will always come flocking no matter what. All sexual activity will be consensual. A fosterlager world...is a better world
QFT. If she doesn't like you for who you are, there's nothing there. And while you're busy pretending to be what you're not (or not be what you are, that is to say, a TF fan) to impress a girl like that, a girl who would like you for who you are might be turned off by who you're pretending to be.
My husband is older than I am. I am 23 and have a huge Sailor Moon collection. He doesn't like it but he doesn't care that I like it because he loves me for who I am, not for what I like.
Don't sell it,you have alot of rare figures,You're friends are really jealous of your Collection.You have the best Collection here on the boards,I really envy Botcon Apelinq.
Love is LOVE it's as simple as that. I don't care what interest you have (collecting Transformers or otherwise) people, guys and girls alike. Need to accept people for the way they are and their hobbies, and not expect them to change. I'm a woman, I collect some of the figures, I love video games, I draw constantly. If I ever did get involved with a man (when Hell freezes over). Those are things he would have to learn to accept (then again I don't think many guys would have a problem with a gamer for a girlfriend XD). There is my art, and my pets; come before anything else. While I'd love the guy to pieces. I would need time alone to create. Or else he'll see a nasty nasty cranky side of me. Hell if I met a guy who collected the TFs as much as some of you do (man I hope you guys have your collections insured o_o.) I'd never think he was childish. Hell- I'd be asking about which character was what, and what their personality traits were. And geeking it out right along side with him.
