So much this. So many girls try to fit in with the "nerd" ideal that they think men crave, but they end up going way fucking overboard with it.
If she's seriously 21, you're in for a world of heartache, Grumpus.

There's also the Mormon shit, I believe. I don't remember all the details. But from what I do recall, there's a lot of red flags popping up.
In any case, good luck man! Hope she really is as awesome as she sounds, and that keeps up. You're the canary in the coal mine for me, my girlfriend is similarly awesome and I can only hope she keeps that shit up.

It's not like he's wrong. She probably is fucking amazing and great. He's going to marry her and it's going to be awesome. And then, after a few years, or 10, or 20, it's going to be not as awesome. Eventually it will be more bad than good. That's the way this thing works.
Or in 10 or 20 years it will be super awesome. We are finishing up year 14 with zero major issues. Little fights here and there and minor compromises on both sides but overall a great relationship. We got married at 19, had a baby die at birth, I was deployed for 3 years total, and now I have cancer. I think every relationship can surprise you for better or worse. Grumpus might not last a month before he hates it or the two of them outlive us all as our marriages/relationships collapse like pompeii.It's not like he's wrong.

From everything I've heard about those rings (which are a complete reddit driven fad) they're extremely fragile and the bone/meteor will chip if you hit it on anything. The ring is completely non functional and is simply a fashion accessory. Most will get a non-precious ring as their "everyday" and use the bone/meteor as their "fancy" ring. And if you have a "fancy" ring as a male you're doing it wrong.
I can't believe now much people require to label themselves. I have to agree here someone who is really a nerd doesn't require it being worn on their sleeve. But there are droves of people maybe half a generation younger than me (me being 30 then being about 20) that so desperately want to show off their 'nerd cred' by doing all this shit.

Not that I make a habit of checking out girls rings, but every woman I know keeps the engagement ring in the jewelry box and only breaks it out when they're getting gussied up. So, since the people I know are better and smarter than the people you know ... yeah they're probably doing it wrong.
I say probably because it's possible all the women you know have engagement rings that came from a claw machine. If that's the case, wear it till it stops turning your finger green, then get another one.
And also to the anonymous faggot, why am i a dumb black person? Is it because I don't know what master linked is? No one has explained it yet.

WTF does this even mean? Wannabe nerds? They only pretend to like zelda cause it's the thing to do?
The newer versions have a harder metal on the sides to protect the bone from chipping. But yes, it is an issue.

Have you not noticed this happening? There is a ton of wannabe-nerd stuff in pop culture nowadays. Big Bang Theory is leading the charge. Betas is the same shit. We've seen slovenly "nerds" spamming their fingers across a keyboard in movies for two decades now. Every procedural has the sexy "nerd" on the team now.

Yes, or rather, they only want to be seen liking Zelda. They don't even care about whatever nerdy thing they're pretending to be.
