peoples opinon on us collectors

i've never had a girl say something negative about them, if they did i'd know shes not my type anyways.

I just don't want to be with those type of girls then or have those type of ppl for friends. If ppl are going to talk behind my back, judge me, poke fun all the time or say ignorant things about stuff I like than I don't want those type of ppl in my life. If ppl are out drinking beer everyday, smoking weed, doing other drugs, wasting there money at bars every other night etc I just don't hang with them. I'm just not into those things.

This kind of post always seems to come up which isn't bad but we need to build some confidence in our users!

I am 25 years old and I not only collect but I still play with my figures on a weekly basis. I will admit from the ages of 15-17 it felt strange because everyone was so concerned with self image but once I was out of high school it didn't matter to me anymore what people thought. Also any girl I have dated never cared about my figures and sometimes when my last girl friend would study for college I would just play with my figures and she didn't mind. I think it's all about how you carry yourself. I go to the gym, I have a stable job, good friends and I am good to my family. I have a college degree and going for a second and I write music. Wrestling is my life though. I got a few wrestling tattoos. I wear a lot of wrestling shirts and I still wear my Nexus trucker hat everyday and people see I don't give a what they think and they don't care either. Some people won't get it that's granted but I would never want to be friends with anyone who want to make me feel like a weirdo for my hobby.


Also me and EDGEHEAD41 go out figure hunting together and then have lunch at our Taco Bell where we sometimes bring figures and take a look at our new gets and even the staff that works there know us and don't make us feel strange because it's just something we love.

Alcohol = One night of fun.

Wrestling Figures = The gift that keeps on giving.

I had a girlfriend (notice i said had) that complained everytime I looked at the wrestling figures if we were out at wal mart or target together. Needless to say she didnt last as long as people thought she would...I will never let anyone make me feel weird for having figures just because they dont understand it

When I saw the thread title I knew what the post was going to be about and I knew I would use my go to argument when someone says something about me buying figures and that is the buying alcohol. People will spen $25-$30 on a case of beer and drink it in a night or two and have nothing to show for it except liver damage and a headache but somehow I'm a dumb for spending money on something that if I wanted to, which I don't, I could sell them later on and plus they can be a conversation piece if you meet someone else that is into them. The way I live my life is to live and let live. If someone is into buying something, no matter how obscure it may be, let them do what they do. As long as they aren't hurting anyone then go for it.

I think if I let figures become my whole life like they were when I was younger, I might worry a little bit, like I'm missing out on doing and seeing things in life, but I look around my room and it doesn't look like a toy store, so I'd say there isn't much to worry about. I have friends that collect things that are equally as useless in the long run, like vinyl records of current bands, or shoes they never wear and keep in boxes, or flyers from concerts/shows, vintage t-shirts they don't wear. I think it all comes down to wanting a piece of nostalgia for something you love. Wrestling happens to be one of the few things I'm really into, and with how good the figures are nowdays, I can't think of a cooler way to remember my favorite wrestlers.

My wife is cool with my collection. If your woman doesn't accept you and your interests then don't accept her.

There's plenty more fish in the sea as ever came out of it.
