When will/was the first time you told a girl about your STD's?

[Jayson]

I of course mean Star Trek DVD's. The acroyom of which is STD. I figure you can sort of hide your nerdiness for awhile but if you hook up with a girl she will eventually get a look at your dvd collection and you will have to come clean about your STD's. I hope you all have enough nerd pride to not, try and hide the fact that you got tons of STD"s from a girl. She should proably find out about them if she wants to be with you so she knows what she is getting herself into. Did you ever get a STD from a girl? Have you ever been lucky enough to find a girl you could give a STD to? I think it's every nerdy guys dream to be with a girl with tons of STD's.

I have never been shy about the fact that I'm a nerd.

What makes it okay is that I'm also a normal person.

Same here. I usually let everyone know I am into sci-fi. Also I am good at pretending to be normal, though it can be exhausting at times.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned it to my wife even before we met in person. She's a good lass. She's been to the Star Trek Experience with me and let me fly to London to see the new movie on the IMAX. Now she wants to do a Star Trek themed Halloween party!

Why make a fuss about it?

If you don't come off as the typical nerd, i.e. unwashed, clothes from 10 years ago, long greasy hair etc you should be fine.

It's a thing you like.. others spend all their cash on their wardrobe, buy computer parts, makeup etc.. you are into Star Trek.

I myself am big into tabletopgaming and have display cases sitting in my living room.. people at worst raise an eyebrow because it's such an alien hobby to them while most others are either indifferent or impressed that i have the patience and skill to assemble the stuff and paint it.

If you are normal about it i guess no one will take an issue with it.. only if you are the stereotypical nerd wil people pick on you. But then.. why would you socialize with such people at all?

 

[DangerMouse]

I tell sexy boys about my Star Trek DVDs all the time...

Does it count the other way - girls to boys?

No one seems to mind

(Disclaimer... I do fall over a lot in public though so I guess for my admirers a DVD collection is the least of their worries )

Almost everybody has a geeky obsession of a type. Those who look down on sci fi fans almost always have something they obsess about just as much if not more. I remember someone at a convention laughing at a friend of mine wearing a starfleet uniform. So I said "So you actually play for Man U then?" and he kind of glanced down at his shirt, then shut up.

My gf is well aware of my geeky side, but she has her own - Tudor history is her thing, and she's just as obsessive about it, so can say nothing to me

 

[TheLonelySquire]

Probably right before I showed her my TOS bathroom. I really need to post some pics of it. btw.

I had the easiest time (ironically), my girlfriend noticed them on the shelf, and turned to me and said "well, at least I won't have to spend money on these. I'll just borrow yours", which she never did, we always watched them here, together.

 

[Chekov's Phaser]

The first time my girlfriend came over to my house, she noticed the small shelf that contains some of my TNG action figures, so it was pretty hard to hide the nerdiness. I never hide the ST love anyway. If you can't handle it, I don't need you.

She has her own nerdy likes (anime) as well, so it evens out. She loved the new Star Trek movie, which I suppose is start in the right direction. I also got her to read "Dune" which I figure is even a greater accomplishment.

 

[Ethros]

So what? If a girl wanted to stop going out with me simply because I like the Star Trek franchise, then not only would I not want to go out with her; I wouldn't really want to even know her at all

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

I don't own any Star Trek DVD's.

Maybe it's because I don't rewatch things like I did before the internet.

 

[TheLonelySquire]

I really need to post some pics of it. btw.

I'll do it. I just need to take a few which will take a minute. Then I need to figure out how to upload them. I've never posted any picture of any kind on here.

The Wrath of Khan framed movie poster overlooking the toilet comforts me.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

My girlfriend has seen my STD's, my comic book boxes, even my D&D books.
She's a good egg, even something of an enabler. She bought me the how to speak Klingon book. The only drawback is she doesn't like TOS. I'll wear her down slowly.

 

[Kommander]

Of all the girls I've dated, a few were also Trek fans (one even owned a Starfleet uniform, which I found surprising because she didn't seem like the type), and the rest didn't care. I don't care if girls I date are into Star Trek, it's a fairly small part of my life. However, if me being into Star Trek is a deal breaker (or anything else I'm into, for that matter) she can put her clothes back on and GTFO for all I care.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

I have been pleasantly surprised in my adult life that most women don't freak out when they see my sci-fi DVDs, Japanese DVDs, toy collection, etc. Only one did, and she still asks me why I don't call her.

 

[Lindley]

I don't advertise it, but I make no effort to hide it either.

 

[An Officer]

I don't own any Star Trek DVD's strangely enough... but we have several box-sets of each series in the house, so I don't really need to. My love of trek is not something I often talked about with partners of the past - the conversation just never went that way. It didn't matter to me one way or the other. It is great to be finally living with trekkie though.

I don't have any Star Trek DVDs so it's not a problem.
