Well it finally happenned. My girlfriend got mad at me for this arcade machine. She told me she's gonna burn my arcade machine and break my computer so I can't get on this website. She complains that she comes over and then I'm just online and not paying attention to her.

I don't get the typical "You're spending too much money, honey" that I know a lot of yall married guys get. This may be even worse, though...

She DOES like video games, though. She's just tired of me putting so much time into this thing. I'm trying to get her more into it, but it's not like there's anything she can do to help, and she gets tired of hearing about it.

My last girlfriend had a similar problem with me last summer when i was working on it, but I think this is much worse. More than the arcade machine, she hates me being online for hours at a time while she is here. Of course, she blames it all on that 6ft machine at the frat house...

Well, she does have a point. You really shouldn't be spending hours a day on this site. I maybe spend 1/2 hour at most a day logged into this site. If your girl is over, drop the computer

Well typically I wouldn't be on here so much except I'm in the middle of a major upgrade. I see her everyday, anyways. That's more than alot of girls can say about the guys they're dating.

Sounds to me like you put her second. "i see her everyday anyways."
I agree that you shouldn't be online when your girl is over...take her out and all that, make her feel special, hope she forgets about why she is mad at you, lol...good luck...

You have all day when she is not around to hit the website or work on your machine. Give her some attention or maybe you will be working on your next girl friend. Girls are

Now married men that is a different story.

As a married man, I must agree: give her the time she's asking for. After (or IF) you get married, it's a different story. But when she comes over, play nice.

Or, if she's into it, have her help out with the cabinet. It'll be a nice thing for the both of you to do.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 22, 2003, 05:25:38 pm »

Well she likes video games and wants to see this thing finished, but I don't think she realizes how much time it takes - especially for someone like me that can never make up his mind.

She's got work and school, though, so she's busy too. I try to work on it while she's at work so I'll ahve time to spend with her, but it's a complicated time-consuming project. It won't be this way forever, though.

She's a keeper, though. How many girls like Mortal Kombat, NBA Street, and Quake?She even let me borrow her Playstation 2 since I don't have one.

My friends are all jealous.

hmmm...cold lifeless computer...warm soft girlfiend...do you really need to think about it?

I just wanna put my 10c worth in on this one. You may or may not value the advice of someone who has 8 years of happy marriage behind him.
If you choose the computer/net/MAME over her she's the wrong girl for you. When you meet the right girl for you, you will wonder why you ever thought you had a problem because you will WANT to spend the time with her ( it still won't stop her nagging you whenever you are working on your cab or playing games ). Woman are strange creatures, for some reason attention=love. For us we can love them just as much from the garage or the hardware store lol.

Well there was times when I posted like atleast 20 or more per day..it was when "I" needed help.

Besides building arcades is totally my thang !

VERY interesting indeed !

As for girlfriend over computer.
I do have one(she is REALLY nice).
But its nothing like living together and shiz...not like I get to bring her over and tell my dad..."hey I will be doin my girlfriend in the other room..you mind?" LOL !
I get to meet her in the weekends(friday,sat).
Wish I could have my own place(the freedom) but I am not old enough and moving out is not an opition

You hit it right on the nail there. Don't get me wrong. I treat her really well and we have a great relationship. (I don't even know how this conversation even got this far.)

Girls just need some sort of constant confirmation.

Ya'll must think I'm horrible now...

spectre · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2003, 12:01:54 am »

of course not! at least you have a girlfriend, i'm just a scrub who always makes a nice friend but not the type of guy someone would want to date. hahahaaa

Odonadon · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2003, 01:05:57 am »

Talk about a keeper:

Well, I'm the dude who built the cab in the office (our second bedroom of our condo) when I told her I wouldn't start building until we get a house

. Our place is so tiny - when I got a weightlifting bench, there was a decision to be made. either the cab or the weight bench would have to be in the living room - the other would have to be in the office. As a result, the cab's been in the living room for 6 months.

Yeah, even I know the cab don't belong in the living room. If I lived through that, I can live through anything. But then again, it's been 5 years. She built up some tollerance for me a while ago
