I recently went out on a date and randomly started talking about hobbies. I said I started collecting toys and she freaked out. She said, "wow thats weird, thats what little kids do not adults". I really was shocked at her response. I am at the point in my life (almost 29 years old)where I dont have to explain myself to anyone. If I like collecting toys I will collect toys and whatever else I want. I will not be calling her back but am afraid more women will find it "weird". Maybe it was just her but I hope more women are not as closed minded as her.

What is everyone's experience with this matter?

I have been engaged to the woman of my dreams for nearly 3 months. I was scared to death about showing her my toys, comics, artwork, graphic novels. She loves me. She accepts me. She accepts me as a collector. I have helped her find out about collecting. I bough her Harry Potter Legos and she discovered she loved building them. She loved Bumblebee from Transformers and I bought her Bumblebee figures. She loves them. Find the woman that loves you for being you. Find the person that makes you complete. Find the person that can bring you up when you are down and you do the same for them. Find the person you can laugh with. Find the person you can be honest with. Find the person the moves your emotions. Find the person that all the corny love songs make sense. Find the person who wants to be with the real you. I love my Anna with my heart, mind and soul. Neither she nor I are perfect but we are perfect for each other
