She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It’s how I know new girls have started working with her.
Holy fucking cringe
a bit cringe though
Let he who isn’t cringe cast the first stone
There’s a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.
And the cow is balancing in the ocean.
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.
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)
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.
Oh, I see, indeed, I didn’t see it this way before you mentioned it. Nice analysis!
If you’re not cringe about your spouse you’re missing out.
Noted haha
That’s the cherry on top
they go well together I guess x)
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 😌
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.
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.
Oh for sure. And we do. I believe her agreement with the meme stems from the fact that my hobbies and interests don’t lend themselves to creating cheating opportunities. I mean I’m sure there are Lego Hoes out there, but they aren’t looking for my face/lack of funds.
I love this meme so much.
So is your wife single?
Afraid not.
Can you ask her just to be sure?
She says go poach your own unicorn.
Fack! Thanks for asking!
isn’t weird how there isn’t a word for unicorn rider? maybe its time.
You beat me to it 🤣
why does someone try to shame your wife for something that you do, what kind of fucked up people does your wive interact with
The gossipy kind.
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)
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
Don’t LEGOS themselves say the suggested age range is 9-99??
find a local hackerspace or maker faire. or sit on the side of the road with something partially disassembled.
You’ll find someone. Might require a bit of a car trip, but you’ll find someone.
The hardest trouble in nerd dating is finding the nerd
someone should build something like the last starfighter, where after 100 levels of kerbal or whatever it becomes a dating site.
That’s because we hide in our pillowforts
I don’t like Lego, but it is for a horrible reason: I don’t have the money and space for it. There are many things I could like, if hobbies didn’t intersect with poverty.
😩
I want tomove to the country to have a big workshop that I turn into a lego town.
There could be something like Japan’s kitty cafes, but with deadlier feet traps.
Same problem. Living in a hick town is a special kind of hell.
There probably are, they’re just at home playing video games and shit so you’re not meeting them.
Well, now I’m doing the same thing!
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.
Those are the red flags I need.
Those are checkpoints.
Checking phone 🙅♀️ 🚨
Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?
Asking the same question, I have no idea how to meet new people.
In no way does anyone that must be dragged out of the house have “golden retriever energy”
But I’m still happy for them
I may not fit all aspects of the meme, but enough of it is on point that it’s accurate for her.
It’s not about you, it’s about the meme itself. The meme says she needs to drag her man out for dates but that he has golden retriever energy.
I take it to mean they’re attentive or… Always there maybe would be the way to describe it.
Similar thing for me, gamer who likes to be home most of the time, so if she needs me to do something I’m rarely ever busy/out.
True. I saw this one meirl post about someone whose favorite thing to do is go run errands with someone and everyone was saying a golden retriever wrote it. So I guess I’m a golden retriever.
Kel, get off the Lemmy. You have work to do.
[EDIT: I do not know this person, I have no idea who they are. If their name IS Kel, it would be fucking hilarious]
gamers cheat too

What adult cares what another adults spouse does in their own free time? Why is someone’s wife having so many conversations about this? So often they have to make a cringe “meme” to respond to these supposedly frequent conversations? Why is this persons wife straight up attacking other women and saying their spouse is unfaithful as if that is somehow the obvious outcome of thinking Lego is nerdy or whatever the point was
This is made up
If only.
Very sweet
Are you your wife?
