Yep... It's a dealbreaker for me personally... One of my best friends younger brother(who is 10) has pokemon cards that he trades--I just can't be okay with a man in his twenties trading these types of cards as well too lol...

We are not friends.

The Simpsons is the longest running sitcom of all time and it ain't because kiddies love it.

Of course, we also play a lot of board games and strategy games as well.

Sometimes it's fun to play a simple game with friends regardless of age.
In my experience thats what I love about college you kept your love of Pokemon, Yu Gi OH and Magic secret in high school in college me and my friends play pokemon cards all in the lounge area and not care if a soul you or not.

We play on the back porch of a local bar and nobody cares. We may get some weird looks from the stuck up people, but it's our bar not theirs

We also bring board games to play. Last week it was Settlers of Catan (again) and I think a friend of mine got their hands on the Star Trek version so I'm hoping they bring it along this Saturday. Either that or we'll play Risk or Stratego.

Negative energy + liberal ideas = negative energy

Honestly the cards are the least important thing, I enjoy it when people have odd hobbies. I myself am a tabletop wargamer, which is far wierder, and I love it. Basically I collect, assemble, customize and paint miniatures that one can then set against other people's armies in strategy combat.

Stormguard | Privateer Press For a quick example of the kind of things you can collect.

Basically enjoy your hobbies and don't let anyone tell you you're too old or too young to do X or Y. People to toss a ball around and wrestle with other guys on a field and yet they aren't called childish at all.

If they're attractive, yes. If they're average to below average it's a negative. I used to get made fun of for playing magic, but one of my 'attractive' coworkers decided to pick it up (for her little brother) and all of a sudden those same guys were going on and on about how amazing and hot it was she played. I was the one teaching her how to do it, but since I wasn't attractive it was a turn-off.

I used to play drunk Mario Kart and eat White Castle with my friends on nights I didn't hook up.

Oh man, those were the days!
