She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.
So is your wife single?
One can't judge a relationship on an image alone but… there's a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they're false alarms.
Those are the red flags I need.
Those are checkpoints.

Asked a guy I was on a date with if he liked Lego, and he straight-up laughed in my face and said "No, I'm not 7."
There are no single openly nerdy dudes in my area. Makes me sad.
(well, it actually makes me happy that cool people have successfully escaped this hellhole of a town and are probably living much happier & more fulfilling life)
You'll find someone. Might require a bit of a car trip, but you'll find someone.
The hardest trouble in nerd dating is finding the nerd
That's because we hide in our pillowforts

That sucks. Meanwhile as a guy, I haven’t found that nerdy girl yet either. But those matches do happen. My coworker is a giant nerd. LEGO, movies, gaming, the works. She just moved in with an equally nerdy guy. She gave him the LEGO LOTR Barad-dur for his birthday laat month and they built it together. He gives her LEGO botanical sets.
Gotta love LEGO couples :D
I don't like Lego, but it is for a horrible reason: I don't have the money and space for it. There are many things I could like, if hobbies didn't intersect with poverty.

Same problem. Living in a hick town is a special kind of hell.

a bit cringe though
Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone
There's a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.

I'm not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the "normie" interests.
Nah, it's the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture "edgy" that cringes me a bit, + the "Karen" + the "your man cheats on you", as if us nerds don't cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.
Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards "sportsball" and "clubbing," which reinforces my point that he's not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.
In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

In no way does anyone that must be dragged out of the house have "golden retriever energy"
But I'm still happy for them
I may not fit all aspects of the meme, but enough of it is on point that it's accurate for her.
It's not about you, it's about the meme itself. The meme says she needs to drag her man out for dates but that he has golden retriever energy.

Holy fucking cringe
why does someone try to shame your wife for something that you do, what kind of fucked up people does your wive interact with
The gossipy kind.
Lol I love being poly. I love watching people freak out when I tell them my love has a date. "OMG what if they leave you???"
I mean... I'm getting laid plenty myself and if that's what they need then I want it for them. That said, I love her so much, I'm pretty comfortable sharing and everyone wins.
You can hear the gears grind 😌
This is one of those "a fish trying to understand a horse" situations, but as long as there's consent all around and everyone's happy; GLHF.
I'm glad you guys are happy, but I'd want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.
Oh for sure. And we do. I believe her agreement with the meme stems from the fact that my hobbies and interests don't lend themselves to creating cheating opportunities. I mean I'm sure there are Lego Hoes out there, but they aren't looking for my face/lack of funds.
Very sweet
What adult cares what another adults spouse does in their own free time? Why is someone’s wife having so many conversations about this? So often they have to make a cringe “meme” to respond to these supposedly frequent conversations? Why is this persons wife straight up attacking other women and saying their spouse is unfaithful as if that is somehow the obvious outcome of thinking Lego is nerdy or whatever the point was
This is made up
If only.
Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?
Asking the same question, I have no idea how to meet new people.
That's a little passive aggressive of your wife to send that.
Gotta stay sane somehow.
That and she gets tired of telling coworkers about what she did over the weekend and be told that her husband must have something wrong with him since he doesn't like sportsball or going clubbing.
Soo… Hollow Knight. I’ve been looking for a Metroidvania game and this popped up. How does it compare to Metroid? From the trailer footage and the reviews it looks more of a super-precise platformer like Celeste with lots of cruel boss fights.
i lean more towards the metroid side of the metroidvania genre and i spent around 15 or so hours in hollow knight. it has beautiful design and very deep lore. the map goes on forever. the platforming is tough, but not exceedingly difficult. what made me give up is partially that the combat is too fast and goes on for too long, and partially that it has a corpse run mechanic, which i despise.
at least for a while you can get away with exploring somewhere else when an area seems too daunting, but after a while you hit combat roadblocks which means every failure requires a dash back with half health.
Hollow knight is great, it's one of my favorites. However if you are looking for something to scratch a Metroid itch, I'd suggest looking into Axiom Verge.
