She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.

So is your wife single?

I also choose this guy's wife.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’ll get in line behind you.

Can you ask her just to be sure?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago (4 children)

She says go poach your own unicorn.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

Fack! Thanks for asking!

Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.

I'm not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the "normie" interests.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Nah, it's the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture "edgy" that cringes me a bit, + the "Karen" + the "your man cheats on you", as if us nerds don't cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.

Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards "sportsball" and "clubbing," which reinforces my point that he's not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.

In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

If you're not cringe about your spouse you're missing out.

Holy fucking cringe

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 days ago (10 children)

Asked a guy I was on a date with if he liked Lego, and he straight-up laughed in my face and said "No, I'm not 7."

There are no single openly nerdy dudes in my area. Makes me sad.

(well, it actually makes me happy that cool people have successfully escaped this hellhole of a town and are probably living much happier & more fulfilling life)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You'll find someone. Might require a bit of a car trip, but you'll find someone.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The hardest trouble in nerd dating is finding the nerd

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

That's because we hide in our pillowforts

That sucks. Meanwhile as a guy, I haven’t found that nerdy girl yet either. But those matches do happen. My coworker is a giant nerd. LEGO, movies, gaming, the works. She just moved in with an equally nerdy guy. She gave him the LEGO LOTR Barad-dur for his birthday laat month and they built it together. He gives her LEGO botanical sets.

Gotta love LEGO couples :D

why does someone try to shame your wife for something that you do, what kind of fucked up people does your wive interact with

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

The gossipy kind.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 5 days ago (2 children)

One can't judge a relationship on an image alone but… there's a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they're false alarms.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Those are the red flags I need.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

Those are checkpoints.

Lol I love being poly. I love watching people freak out when I tell them my love has a date. "OMG what if they leave you???"

I mean... I'm getting laid plenty myself and if that's what they need then I want it for them. That said, I love her so much, I'm pretty comfortable sharing and everyone wins.

You can hear the gears grind 😌

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

This is one of those "a fish trying to understand a horse" situations, but as long as there's consent all around and everyone's happy; GLHF.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I'm glad you guys are happy, but I'd want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.

In no way does anyone that must be dragged out of the house have "golden retriever energy"

But I'm still happy for them

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I may not fit all aspects of the meme, but enough of it is on point that it's accurate for her.

Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Asking the same question, I have no idea how to meet new people.

Hollow Night

All credibility lost.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah. My wife also tries to remember the games I play and sometimes almost succeeds like this. This is close enough from a non-gamer wife

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago

Also my wife didn't make the meme she just has the meme saved

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

You let "Legos" pass but this was the final straw?!?
