My wife rolled her eyes at me in Target tonight when I popped a Joe in the basket. She calls them dolls and really rags on me. I tell her it keeps me out of bars, or if she wants I can take up golf and hunting, which are a lot more expensive.
I'm a football coach, and the guys I coach with would give me all kinds of hell. They already do about videogames. Honestly, half of them are arrogant jerks. The great thing is my wife is way hotter than any of theirs, so they can say what they want. I'm still more studly.
Yep, I get made fun of for a lot of things, and collecting Joes is one of many. Just today my high school aged daughter was laughing that all of her guy friends think I look scary and are afraid of me, yet I collect action figures and run through the house with my youngest daughter; making noises and having battles with all of our toys.
I started playing with action figures when the very first Star Wars figures came out way back in the 70s. It's just who I am. It never affected my ability to lift a weight, make a tackle or a touchdown, or get girls. I hope my daughters do the things they enjoy and never let others embarrass them out of it. My oldest loves to read manga and watch anime, and I really try to support that.
