Girlfriends - Page 3

Found the best girlfriend ever some years back. Really supportive, never nags, is open to stories about headphones from the '80s, and would like me to measure her cans.

I lie to The GF and reduce the price of all my audio gear by at least 1/2, if not more. It's the only way I could own any of it without her murdering me. ^^ Unfortunately, she doesn't have any expensive hobbies, so I can't use the old trick of saying 'Well, how much did you spend on X that you don't need? That's totally comparable to what I do!' Luckily for me, she doesn't have much of an eye for electronics, so it can be a long time before she actually notices a new piece of gear--and when she does, I can just say, 'Oh, that old thing? I've had that for forever.' 

I will say that I have slightly gotten her to understand this hobby by gifting her some decent listening gear over the years, all of which she really appreciates and uses frequently. My latest present to her were a pair of Audioengine A5+ speakers, which she loves to death. And when I do get new gear, she is usually interested in listening to it, and even has a couple 'test' tracks of her own that she likes to run through them. So, it's perhaps not quite an ideal situation, but it could certainly be worse! :-D

@MT: Just out of curiousity man and hoping it's not personal but just wondering how old you are, since you give off the impression (to me) that your quite young (like myself) but yet your able to afford all this madness of expensive gear.

I am currently single, but I have dated a few girls. First one was an internet GF. I was really into this MMO at the time, and the naive 14-year-old me thought it was a good idea. I gave her everything she ever wanted, no matter how much it hurt me. Found out later that she was cheating on me.

Second one I dated was the prettiest girl i have ever seen. I could not get her out of my head. I started to hang out with her and her friends (i just sat there while they would talk about fanfiction and manga of a certain homosexual variety. I did not care because I wanted to be with her. I finally asked her. She said yes, dumped me a week later. I then went to the DMV a few years later, she sat a few seats over from me. was the most awkward thing to happen to me.

Third girl was about 7 kinds of crazy. I dated her on a whim. we went out for about a month. She would rant non-stop about her previous boyfriends, change conversation topics, ask me extremely strange hypothetical questions, and followed me around like a puppy. I told her I was done, and she would still come up to me like it was nothing. I couldn't even tell if she remembered we broke up. I ended up avoiding her for 6 months. She finally left me alone (mostly) after that.

Fourth one was another internet GF, she was halfway normal, thought she was nice, yet a bit weird, then came the video chat... A beluga whale apparently owns a laptop. I can understand a woman who is bit heavy because it is harder than others to lose weight sometimes, but there is a limit. After that, she also became an extreme sexual deviant, which made me way more than uncomfortable. Luckily, one of her ex boyfriends wanted her back, so I let her go.

And now I am here, posting something quite personal on my first day on the Head-fi forums. SEE HOW MUCH I TRUST YOU GUYS?

That sent it overboard.
