    She should don Catwoman costume, gently pummel the dude to submission, and say “How’s this for a BOTTOM TEXT”?

        I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I’ve been living under a rock. Is this about “incels” or this sigma thing?

        Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren’t nice!

          Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.

          Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

            Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).

            I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I’ll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.

    I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

      My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:

      In my living room at the time:

      All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

      70% sure she just married me for the TV.

        Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.

        What can you tell us about that TV?

          The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.

          The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta

          It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:

          In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.

          25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!

      I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.

      She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.

        Being anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven’t seen since furries.

      My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).
