People who hate lovey-dovey romance.

Seriously, why? Unless it's actually getting in the way of your enjoyment of something, what's wrong with it? I know several people who think this way, guys and girls, and it peeves me to no end.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 14:49:47

I think context is important. Say if you are all out chatting at the pub and couple are being super cuoply and all over each other, that would be quite irritating/awkward for the group due to the atmosphere being one of a group chatting and drinks together.

It's actually getting in the way of your enjoyment of something.

Nyarly · 2011-05-20 14:50:06

It bugs you that people don't have the same taste as you?

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-20 14:51:08

Yes.

And that's terrible.

Perhaps I should elaborate: I hate people who think that any type of affection shown this way isn't "real."

Hatter · 2011-05-20 14:56:56

GL, I'm okay with romance. I just hate excessive public displays of affection - especially if the people involved are hideously ugly. When they're slobbering all over each other, it's impossible to carry on a conversation over the sound of lip-smacking.

Plus, the girl he's involved with is just using him, and is a horrible human being.

Please explain.

You know that episode of South Park where Chef gets involved with a woman who steals him away from his friends and sucks all the personality out of him?

That's this girl, in a nutshell. She's a Nerd Digger who makes terrible D&D characters, behaves inappropriately, wears a pin that says "KISS ME TWICE - I'M BISEXUAL" and loves to tell us all about how she reviews sex toys as a hobby.

I could write an entire essay on why she's a bad choice for my bro, but, hey, it's his life. He gets to make his own mistakes.

Something I love about Eureka Seven is that it actually makes the relationship development between the two lead characters both adorable and interesting.

Okay, maybe not adorable at first, since Renton is a dork and Eureka is a Strange Girl. But it grows on you, which is exactly as it should.

That said, I usually have little interest in relationship subplots in fiction. Or in real life for that matter. I don't care much for which of Edgar, Sabin, or Locke would end up with which of Terra and Celes. I don't care that Kate Middleton got married to a British prince.

Only rarely do I find love stories interesting. The first time was with Pride and Prejudice, which I read roughly a decade ago, back in high school. I don't think there's been a love story or relationship subplot I've actually enjoyed since then, until I watched Eureka Seven a few months ago.

Hatter · 2011-05-20 15:04:09

... I'll admit, I liked the romance in Eureka Seven. It's one of the few romances I've ever liked. And it's one of the few anime I like.

KISS ME TWICE - I'M BISEXUAL

Hate.

Hatter · 2011-05-20 15:37:30

One time when she was off making out with my friend, my other friends and I stole the pin and crushed it.

Because I've got ACTUAL bisexual friends, and it makes them rage as much as I do. She's obviously not bi. She's a Nerd Digger.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 15:40:23

Also I'm pretty sure I get nerd digger but please elaborate just so i can be sure?

Good for crushing that badge, I hate those things.

Hatter · 2011-05-20 15:42:36

A woman who is too ugly (in both personality AND appearance) to get a man, she instead tries to hook up with nerds, because we're more desperate for female attention.

Sammy · 2011-05-20 15:52:18

Nerds =/= men (?)

inkblot · 2011-05-20 17:24:36

Did anyone else think of the young couples from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire?

"because we're more desperate for female attention"

Stereotypical nerds, sure.

"I hate people who think that any type of affection shown this way isn't "real.""

Are they the same people who think that true love can only be obtained through rough fucking?

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 17:28:58

Bet their pokemon are sick of it.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-05-20 18:54:43

I hate when Nuzlocke comics contain romance subplots

RedEyedAbyss · 2011-05-20 18:56:56

Can we go one thread like this without using the word "nerd"? I'm pretty sure people here can be described by far more words than that.

Gelzo · 2011-05-20 19:09:01

"That's this girl, in a nutshell. She's a Nerd Digger who makes terrible D&D characters, behaves inappropriately, wears a pin that says "KISS ME TWICE - I'M BISEXUAL" and loves to tell us all about how she reviews sex toys as a hobby. "

Dude what the hell, are you describing my friend's ex?

She even had a sex toy blog. (She really was bi though, she left him for an obese lesbian.)

Oh, and he's currently with some 16 year old and they act disgustingly cute together. They make goddamn purring noises. We let them both know how much we hate it, and they've pretty much stopped. I think they're willing to tone it down when their shit bothers people, but sometimes they do it just to troll us.

She kind of annoys me, but she's nice enough and I think she wants to be friends. And she at least treats him better than his last girl.

By the way, it's his 21st birthday tomorrow. I let them invite some friends to my apartment.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 19:10:56

Sex toy blog? Details / hilarious link please?

AXavierB · 2011-05-20 19:11:57

I just think a couple can show affection without broadcasting it in public. >_> Some hand-holding, hugging and kissing is fine but when you've skipped straight to foreplay right there in front of everyone you've gone too far.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻ · 2011-05-20 19:12:43

~~I just hate looking at ugly people~~

Gelzo · 2011-05-20 19:22:57

^^^I think I lost the link, unfortunately.

I think it might have been taken down anyway.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 19:25:38

I mean was it just a blog talking about her uses?

Gelzo · 2011-05-20 19:36:04

She took slutty pictures of herself, talked about sex toys and porn she wanted, and bitched about how people were being prudes when really we were just lolling.

Gelzo · 2011-05-20 19:38:11

Ahah! I just remembered the site.

http://lacequeenrose.blogspot.com/?zx=d7d5c691e096b0ae

Take note, she hasn't updated in about two years.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 19:38:18

Attention whore much

Arrgh Mistress rose how infuriatingly common.

Quick glance I see what you mean especially the little info bit "I love music, sex toys, being a closet slut, and pussies...I mean...cats."

Dear god.

Gelzo · 2011-05-20 20:03:30

Yep.

We all found the "closet" part hilarious.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-20 20:05:27

I hope you implied she had sex with wardrobes and the like.

Also post of photo of lots of lube.

I hate it so much, I need to read it all to fully hate everything.

Also it links to her twitter which is active.

Judging from recent tweets, same attitude.

Howdy, Stranger!
