If she takes no offense to my Lego collection we can make it work.

We had Barbie Bordello.

BTW, if anyone has played The Sims, they've played grown-up Barbies. That's pretty much what it is, especially the first one.

Haha, that sounds pretty neat. Better to teach the kids about the IRS when they're young huh.

I would I mean I see no shame in mentioning I like video games. I figure I should put all my "childish" and "geeky" interests and hobbies up front if its going to turn them off. I think it would benefit both parties they ignore me, I might get someone who's down with it everybody wins.

Yes, I would too. I have utterly no shame in mentioning my interest gaming. This is 2012, after all, there are plenty of professional Starcraft 2 players who have sponsors and make money hand over fist, just like regular athletes.

Yu-Gi-Oh! in Japan was not meant for little kids. It was a serious anime show. United States screwed Yu-Gi-Oh! up and turned it "childish". So no, I do not consider Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game for little kids only. I consider it equivalent on the same level as Poker or Blackjack.

Right on. I think trust would have been a better word for number 1 for this guy instead of believe.

While I don't particularly trust all media or the government, I'm generally turned off by conspiracy theories because they're generally a bunch of crap. You would've lost me right there. That and the early 20s.

There are some other interesting qualities in there, but the fact that the cars were placed higher in that sequence of seemingly important personal details makes me think that the cars are among the most important factors and that they're implied as personal "qualities" when in fact they are not (they're material items). I'd also question how an unemployed, early 20s student affords not only one, but two cars, especially since one is quite expensive. I'd think you were either a drug dealer or a spoiled brat - neither of which appeals to me.
