How about husband's/boyfriends? You know your husband/boyfriend is a keeper when he spends obscene amounts of money to let you go to Botcon and he doesn't go. How's that one?
How could anyone not want to go to BotCon? Sure there are alot of major nerds and geeks there lol but it's alot of fun. Surprisingly there are alot of girls in my school who like geeky stuff. It's kinda funny how everything is all backwards now, like that stereotype in movies/television that things like Star Wars etc. was really a nerd thing but it's much more popular among the general public.
The best thing ever is when both of you are TF geeks. My friends tease that the only reason I married my husband was because he had a Fortress Maximus (it was only one of the reasons).
Geez, I dunno... maybe some people don't have an interest in Transformers toys? Weird, I know, but a Transformers convention probably isn't going to be their idea of fun. Would you ever attend a My Little Pony convention just for fun? I bet you would...
she loves hanging out at Barnes & Noble, reading the strangest shite to me. like reading bits and pieces of Anita Blake or from the kids' picture books. it's cute as hell to me.
Just remember guys, if you get a girl who's a keeper like that, treat 'em right, take them out to do something they'll enjoy once in a while too so they know it's appreciated
The most sensible thing in this thread. Although one cannot ignore the sagelike advice of the Fuzzy-worthiness posts.
You're comparing apples and oranges with the "My Little Pony" reference. BotCon isn't just about the toys anymore, it's everything Transformer related. C'mon now, are there any people who grew up during the 80's and didn't watch Transformers? Just the nostalgic feel you get when you go there. I didn't grow up on G1, just Beast Wars, RID, Armada etc. then the movies got me back into it. And I can't believe when I went to BotCon '07 I saw so many hot chicks lol it surprised me really.
My wife bought me a G1 Megatron still in his box because I had mentioned how I wanted one as a kid and never got him. That was 9 years ago only a couple of months into the beginning of our dating relationship. She also got me a used G1 Grimlock about the same time.
...she doesn't press charges? ...doesn't have active restraining orders ...After spending your summer vacation at her psycho-hillbilly family's house (all 2 weeks under the same roof) she rewards you with a Labor Day threesome. ...you've been dating more than 2 years and NOT ONCE have you made the dreaded "tampon run". ...At Christmas, you bot got a Nexus Prime and are still playing with both! ...her idea of foreplay involves power tools, cars and turtle wax.
My girlfriend kicked ass today. My mom called me saying there was a street sale over two blocks from us and she saw a big transformer thingy at a house on the street, but she didn't buy it, but I should go look at it. So my girlfriend dragged her feet and it took forever for us to finally get there and I litterally walked up to the garage and as I'm getting closer I see this dood pick up a old die-cast voltron and start to look at it. Literally 3-4 seconds before I could have reached the table. He looked at it and inspected it, while I hovered around looking for any other treasures and ready to jump on the Voltron if he put it down. And I was just cusing under my breath to my gf. I ended up listening to him talk to the sellers and he ended up getting the Voltron for $2.00!!!!!!!! I was so fucking pissed. I stormed down the driveway. I'm cussing away while my gf's telling me to get a grip. LOL. I walked down the street to another sale and left her behind because I just needed to walk. Meanwhile, she followed the guy who just bought the thing and told him that I'm a big collector, and that I really wanted that,and she offered him $20.00 and he took it! SO she saved the day and I got a 1981 Diecast Voltron in impecable condition, no broken ears wings or tails, only missing the green lions head, as well as the sword and shield. But for $20! That was pretty aswesome.
