Having some 16 year old over while all the adults are drinking is a bit hinky, at least.

Zurtilik posted:My (30M) girlfriend's (24F) anime-geek friends (M29-34) drive me crazy and frankly, I want to beat them I spent this entire post thinking everyone was in their early 20s so the fact that everyone apart from OP's GF is in their late 20s-30s was some serious whiplash. Anyway ESH, dude's really lame but so are these disgusting okatu pigmen who hang around with 16 year olds.

Yeah that guy isn't wrong on reading some of that poo poo as weird. It's just his reaction is wishing someone would yell slurs and beat people up.

AngryRobotsInc posted:Having some 16 year old over while all the adults are drinking is a bit hinky, at least. This, and having nerd poo poo as your entire personality and spending more on it than you can afford, is pretty much on the same level as being a perpetually broke weed! or booze! guy. Somewhat understandable if not optimal if you're like 21, increasingly depressing as you move into and through your 30s. That being said, the OP doesn't seem to actually be upset that his GF's social circle is emotionally stunted and has questionable boundaries, but that they aren't socially acceptable enough, with some gross classism thrown in. The real head-scratcher is why he hasn't already broken up with the GF, since he clearly has contempt for every aspect of her lifestyle?

There are legitimate reasons for him to worry about her lifestyle. She's in her mid-20's with apparently no interest in finding a job or building a career, her entire income relies on her parents being willing/able to keep mailing her money, she sees nothing wrong with a bunch of 20/30-somethings drinking late into the night with a 16 year old, etc. But none of that is what he's worried about; no, he's primarily concerned about their hobbies not being Proper Adult Hobbies.

I can't tell if he's just calling them autistic because he thinks it's an insult, or if they're actually autistic and he thinks someone should have beaten it out of them. Not that I would like or want to hang out with those weebs (clean your loving apartment and don't hang out with teens you creeps), but he's really fixated on, "they watch cartoons and act like dorks in public while having lovely jobs".

Yeah that's a classic ESH. He's right in to be concerned about them bringing underage girls around and they're addicted to their hobbies to the point that they ask his girlfriend for money. But he goes extreme in how much he hates them and thinks they're childish. If he could dial it back and focus on what's important he'd get a lot more sympathy

Getting weebs to eat better is honestly easy mode because all you have to do is teach them to make Japanese food. If you want to trick them into exercising, LARP exists. If you have a local store where they buy all their nerd poo poo, point out that working there will get her a discount and let her know when they have the good poo poo in stock. There are a lot of ways to support your cringe girlfriend if you don't keep bringing the conversation around to how she embarrasses you and she should watch Real Cinema and play paintball.

I kind of want the guy to list out what he considers real cinema, because I am near certain it's the same tryhard poo poo as always.

Nerd girl's friends are all trash that need to be thrown into the garbage. Bad hygiene, always borrowing money, hanging out with underage kids. OP is broke brained from being bullied as a kid and is now hyper focused on being perceived as normal. ESH, except maybe the girlfriend who needs to learn that there are people who share her interests without being vile human beings. Side note: some goons need to take a good hard look at their lives if they're knee-jerk rushing to defend a bunch of disgusting slobs just because they like thing.

I feel like a less lovely boyfriend would be like: "I don't mind your hobbies, but you need to find better people who are interested. Maybe we can go to a con or something and find some new friends? If you keep hanging out with these people I don't know if I can abide by it much longer."

I think it's less about rushing to defend foul nerds than dogpiling a less than stellar boyfriend during a lull in DIPAC stories.

The amount of underage people who want to be cool and the amount of older people who don't see the problem with it is a big concern of mine if I ever went big into the nerd scenes. It's one thing if you're all like 20 and a 17 year old rolls up. But you can't be 30 and doing the same poo poo, no one will feel bad for you when you get caught.

It's too late now, though, because he's already conflated the things that make them gross with his girlfriend's hobbies. The cartoons and cosplay are not what make them awful, but because he fixated on that, it's all she's going to hear when he tries to bring it up.

I think this is how marriage should bequote:My husband (47m) is sitting on the couch naked, playing his PS5, drinking a beer. We just stole some of my 13yr olds candy and we started laughing at our caper. He chocked on caramel and said ‘if this is how I have to go then this is how I will go’ as if choking on this stolen candy was totally worth it. I love this man. Can’t imagine my life with anyone else

Khizan posted:Hopefully he was cremated. They can still test to see if wife’s kids and mistress’ kids are half siblings. Weeb friends sound awful, even apart from the 16 year old (which, yikes). I too would be cringing. Everyone can like what they like and do what they like, obviously, but everything has a time and place and a public park ain’t it, kids. That said, I think it’s interesting that dude is totally ok with his gf’s hobbies, but reeeaaaallly wants to beat up dudes with the same hobbies (albeit more obnoxiously). This whole thing stinks of toxic masculinity imo, with women allowed to be childish while men must be MEN.

She says one of her concerns is money so she won't trash them. She'll sell them. The real speculation is - will she sell them for market price or garage sale price?

Akratic Method posted:I dated a girl with a PhD for a while, and in addition to just being easier for people to appreciate your whole publication history if you don't change names partway through it, when you do change names it also apparently dredges up a lot of latent sexism where people will realize you're married and be more reluctant to help you develop your career because naturally as a married woman you'll be prioritizing the babies you're going to have soon, won't be able to leave them behind to go traipsing through the jungle in Borneo or wherever, etc. She made very clear from the outset that if we ever got married she'd be keeping her name as-is. Also Team PhD Wife and I had no problem with her keeping her maiden name for professional purposes. I do have a credit in her foreword for all the Mexican food I made her during her last year though

I wouldn't be suuuper shocked if the 16 year old girl was a relative of one of the nerdmen, and OP didn't bring it up because he was trying to keep the impression they were grooming her. That said, I also wouldn't be suuuuper shocked if the 16 year old girl wasn't a relative and was just a high schooler who met the group through local anime conventions, in which case uuuh there need to be a lot better boundaries going on.
