Questions for the Women

Question For the Women:

What do you think of men who collect toys? It's not going to change my mind either way, but I was just curious to see if it always has a negative connotation, or if it can be at least considered neutral in most women's eyes. Personally, I enjoy collecting toys from Star Wars, Transformers, LEGO, miscellaneous creatures, and vehicles such as cars and aircraft.

I used to kind of hide my interest in such things, and I stopped collecting for a while because I just thought I'm in my 20s so I'm supposed to be into different things, or time just passed and I didn't think about it. But lately I was thinking that age is just a number - I'm going to get back into collecting because it made me happy.

I understand nobody likes anyone who is obsessed with anything, but I was just wondering what women thought of this in general.

I have no problem with that. You like what you like. That said, depending on how obsessed you are about it would probably have some kind of impact on any kind of relationship. But, that can be said for anything a person is obsessed about.

Well from an old Lady perspective I don't see a problem with it at all. Maybe a girl younger mivht have a different view. They make you happy, you enjoy collecting them, what girl wouldn't want their guy happy? It's you, if someone has a problem with it then they are not the girl for you.

I certainly wouldn't hide it, you never know it maybe bring you together with a girl who likes that stuff too.

When it comes to obssesed about things, that's a problem when it would interfere with your relationship.

I may be stepping into weird territory. But I think its rather sexy.. Mind you if you saw my collection of action figures from Dr.Who, WOW and LOTR you might understand why. Everyone likes something and they should be allowed to enjoy what it is.. Bright Blessings ^.^

What do you think of men who collect toys?

I agree with the posters above. I wouldn't have any feelings about it either way, or I might think it was cool if they were toys I was interested in. I used to have some collectible LotR figures myself.

Arachne, you hit the nail on the head. I like when someone collects something...makes them a bit more awesome in my opinion. I would never object to what a woman collects...provided it isn't a jar of nail clippings

I always cringe when I'm on Craigslist and see a guy selling a collection because "the wife says it has to go and we need the room." Bullshit, no one is going to tell me I have to get rid of my collection(s), just as well as I would NEVER tell a girlfriend/wife she needs to get rid of something because we need to room. Worse comes to worst, I'd build a storage unit.

Well, I don't think I'm so obsessed that it would create any kind of problem. I realize that there are very few women who want their ears talked off about action figures, so I know to talk about other things most of the time. It's not the only thing I care about, but definitely something I want to keep around.

Well from an old Lady perspective I don't see a problem with it at all. Maybe a girl younger mivht have a different view. They make you happy, you enjoy collecting them, what girl wouldn't want their guy happy? It's you, if someone has a problem with it then they are not the girl for you.

Yeah, that would be cool to connect with someone over it. Like I was saying, I don't think I'm so obsessed that it interferes with anything. I wouldn't call off plans or anything over it. I just don't want to have to hide it from anyone.

I don't think there's anything weird about that at all! In fact, I'd be that guy who wants to check out your collection. You could show me yours and I could show you mine, we could tell each other who the characters are and all the backstory and stuff. I would find that fun

PS - Arachne, I saw in the "5 random things about You" thread that you play D&D - what characters do you like to play? I like to be a dark elf thief, myself.

I agree with the posters above. I wouldn't have any feelings about it either way, or I might think it was cool if they were toys I was interested in. I used to have some collectible LotR figures myself.

Yeah like I was saying to Arachne, I'd like to have checked out that collection too. I also like LotR though I didn't know there were a lot of figures for it, I knew there were a few. That sounds like a fun hang-out to me.

Well, I'm really glad no one told me to "grow up" or anything like that, and glad to see such acceptance for this after all. I for one wouldn't have a problem with a girl who was into this, even if she was into more cutesy, traditionally girly toys that I could not relate to. Thanks for all of your answers everyone.

Would the answers you've all given change at all if said man occasionally played with the items in his collection?

I don't think it's so bad, because people play video games well into adulthood and I feel like those are essentially toys. They're just virtual instead of physical. All of the "action figures" are represented on-screen.

Anyway, it's not something I'd do for hours every day like I did when I was 10 nor is it something I would do in a love interest's company, and I probably wouldn't even really talk about it with them because it's probably not going to be relevant to something I'd discuss with them, so they may never even know. Just a little bit here and there. But you don't expect me to leave them in the boxes, do you? That's no fun!

Collecting/playing with figurines/Lego/model cars or planes are all fine with me . To me it's like any other hobby.

I'd only be concerned if that was the only hobby he had and didnt want to try anything else/spent too much money on it/played with it too much.

No.

As long as you don't do it ALL the time, have at it. Even if it's going to cause a problem, you could also plan to send her out for girls night out or whatever and play with them then. There are compromises to be made for everything. But, if she's okay with you having them, I don't see why it would be a problem if you played with them.

Get a girl with a kid and you can play with them even more lol

I don't care about collections or if they were played with. I wouldn't even really care if they were on the 40 Year Old Virgin scale. You pay for something or invest time in collecting something, you should be able to do whatever you want with it.

Why should only kids have all the fun? I see no problem with playing with your toys.
I bought my own coloring book - actually designed for adults called "Enchanted Forest" because apparently coloring books for adults is a thing now I jump in those bouncy houses at kids parties and I go down the slides at playgrounds. With my hands up in the air, yelling "whooo!" Sure, the other parents stare but who cares?
So play all you want, it's harmless fun in my opinion.

You sound awesome in my book ! I'm a huge toy collector. Not only do I still have a lot of my old toys from childhood, but I collect new toys.

I love Legos! I have some halo sets and the at-at from starwars, I want the Millennium falcon, that honeysuckle is siiiiiccc !!! So expensive though, if I was rich I'd have a toy room, for me.... not my kid. I collect ninja turtles too, anything tmnt related. I've been carrying around a donatello around with me for almost 3 years now. He goes everywhere with me, like I mean everywhere. He comes with me to work, on vacation, grocery shopping. He's my lucky turtle, haha I also collect beany boos, and have miscellaneous toys around like my trolls and anything panda related. Idgaf what anyone thinks though, I am who I am. Love it or leave it.

There is a windows coloring program that you can look at right here that on the surface may look like it is for kids but apparently you have the option to import your own pictures in it and when you do that you will get more of a detailed photo to work with.

I have a question too. How does your facebook shows you messages only for handsome guys? And it goes "My facebook is not working" for others? How come do you not care to reply when a guy like me cares to send you a hi and reply instantly when a handsome guy says hi.

Why aren't you the only person not using any social media, when all the social media is full of women, too ?
Is there a filter you use to hide notifications from guys like me? How?
And why? Am I so cruel? Is there something written on my face "Deserves to be alone" ?

Why don't you get your phone repaired when you say, "Sorry, I cant give you my number, my phone isn't working? Maybe I will give you when I get a new phone." Did you know that phone can be changed without changing number?


I know about multitasking, but how do you manage to study at home and go to a restaurant with another guy at the same time (where I wanted you to come with me)?????

I want to learn this multitasking trick too. It would be much helpful to my studies.

Why does a handsome guy donating to poor considered kind hearted when he posts his photos with kids at orphanage and the non handsome one is called a "show off", even when he didn't even tell about it to anyone, and gave the idea to join the handsome one with him to go for some charity work?

 

[VanillaCreme]

We only get messages from handsome guys? I did not know this.
