Breaking down your ethics in toy collecting, is really geeky.

Lets compare the two; THE SPORTS FAN: Usually someone who played in that particular sport or their father / big brother / relative did and now they follow it religiously. THE TOY COLLECTOR: Usually collected this toy growing up and did not really play a sport. THE SPORTS FAN: has his memorabilia in a sports store, men's section of a department store and in the sports section. THE TOY COLLECTOR: has his memorabilia in Toys-R-Us, the toy isle and or a comic shop. THE SPORTS FAN: has his fix played yearly on TV and has major events accompanying these sports. Superbowl, World Series. THE TOY COLLECTOR: has his fix by going to Comic Conventions where they drop Toys from the ceiling. Or on books accompanied with pictures. (Comic Books, etc.) THE SPORTS FAN: Wearing a jersey that has a million dollar (usually) physically fit player. THE TOY COLLECTOR: Wearing a shirt with a cartoon character on it. THE SPORTS FAN: Has commercials that tell us that Girls love guys who love sports. Girls for the most part buy into this. THE TOY COLLECTOR: Are parodied as being geeks and could not get a girl. Girls for the most part buy into this as well. I would pretty much say that those (and I could go on) are indications that Sports and Collecting Toys are vastly different. Anyone who really thinks that this is not the case is in denial. |

Dude you should engrave all your ethics on 2 stone tablets, grow a beard and ask us to follow you into the desert.
P.S. Can you send me all the upcoming waves so I don't have to go look myself ? That would be an ethical extravaganza !

I agree 100%. There is a huge difference and we are considered Geeks. We know we all don't fit into one category but society says different.

Anyone who really thinks that this is not the case is in denial. The big suprise is that alot of us have hot girls or are married. Alot of toy geeks and geeks in general be they game or comic or toy or computer geeks, could break that image society has placed in womens minds by doing a few simple things: 1. Shower! 2. Care about your facial hair. In fact, care about all your hair! 3. Care about the way you look. 4. Show some manners. When you eat, when you speak. Always. 5. Care about the way you smell. 6. Never ever wear shorts with a button up silk anime shirt and flip flops of some sort. NEVER. Any others I forgot? |
