Just curious:
How has everyone's love of Joes/toys/comics/etc affected your ability to date? Do you keep it a "dirty little secret", or do you embrace your inner geek?

It has been really hard with the 25th line coming out. But I get by. The toys get thrown back in my face from time to time but they are everywhere.

I'm in a relationship right now, and my girlfriend knows I collect Joes. She's just not too happy about it because to her, it's a waste of money. Of course I could say the same thing about her shopping, but I 'd rather not go there...

I keep it as a "dirty little secret". I play on a highly competitive flag football league here, and I keep it as a secret from my teammates. Lots of times they've wondered where I head off to when we're suppose to hook up for a few drinks after a nice win....little to do they know, that I'm off checking Targets and TRUs...HA! I don't know what my problem is, but I definitely do not share my collecting addiction to Joes. It would be nice to find some local collectors who are also into football, though....no luck thus far....

Me: I put it right out there. Sometimes it goes over and they don't care, every once in a while I take some crap for it. My lady never had an issue with it, as long as the bills get paid, lol.

I openly told my husband I liked GI Joe.
He's afraid of me so he really couldn't argue.

I try to soften the blow by saying that I also like sports and play guitar, lol....

Never been a issue. I live in apartment and have a shelf in the living room, with some of my figures displayed. Infact, the women I've dated actually encourged my collecting, asking "which ones are you missing"? And then a few days later, those "missing" figures get added to the collection.

You truly can't hide your inner geek, no matter how hard you try. The minute you bring her to your crib, your world is already exposed.
One of your biggest challange is to find one that can acceppt your plastic-crack addiction. |

There is hope -- I'm about to celebrate my tenth wedding anniversary, my son is almost a year old, and there are Joes and SW figures all over the freaking apartment....
