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.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ll get in line behind you.

Can you ask her just to be sure?

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 40 points 1 day ago (4 children)

She says go poach your own unicorn.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Fack! Thanks for asking!

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.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those are the red flags I need.

[–] msage@programming.dev 21 points 1 day ago

Those are checkpoints.

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)

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day 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

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

But I'm still happy for them

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone

collapsed inline media

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day 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.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 13 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 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)

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

Holy fucking cringe

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Hollow Night

All credibility lost.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 37 points 1 day 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

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

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

Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?

[–] Emi@ani.social 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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 😌

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 15 points 21 hours 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.

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours 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.
