wgillan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Munter or not as long as you keep telling her she is beautiful etc etc etc & buy the odd box of chocolates and send flowers every not & then you can almost get away with anything.

If those silly things work then the woman in question is probably one of two things, a) thick and willing to buy into stereotypes, or b) thick, willing to buy into stereotypes and ugly.

That sounds like a Smith's song It was tongue in cheek, but inkeeping with the thread unfortunately. I've never known a woman to take being bought flowers or chocolates well. If I bought my wife flowers she'd leave them in the sink until I eventually sorted out a vase, if I got her a TopShop voucher i'd be the bees knees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone85 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 All my local shops were sold out, so I sent my girlfriend to Iraq to pick me up a copy cheap.

Deyong Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 having played FM/CM before I met my wife, A LONG TIME AGO ! i feel qualified to discuss this.. first there was the changing years.... she thought I would grow out of computer games. then we had the demanding years .... she insisted I grow out of computer games. Now I am into my giving up years ... she has accepted that every november there is a new release and even buys it as an early birthday present, so when I come to bed at 3am, she can't really moan, cos she bought the game ! the future however ever is that my kids are on the verge of wanting more than just fifa09 and eventually football management, I fear for my time playing with FM !

MarinoMolin Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 On the contrary, I actually managed to get a girlfriend on the day of the release of FM09 It would've been the best day in my life so far if it wasn't for the activation problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbigsby Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have installed FM at work and often stay for a hour or two longer and get my fix. My girlfriend is a nurse, so she often works nights, which means I stay at work playing untill late. My girlfriend has no idea and my boss is glad to see that I am always the last to go home. Sounds kinda pathetic when I put it in writing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerhgrrrrrr Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My GF is very understanding so the answer is no. But if she'd seen me trying to type the serial number in Friday morning, spending 90 mins trying every combination of i / 1 / o / 0 (and upper & lower case) then she should have binned me for being a total fxxkin loser.

presumingpete Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 it wasnt the main reason my ex girlfriend dumped me but it was a factor - i played it cos she bored the arse off me but apparently if you want a relationship to work you need to put a bit of effort in. still even though im 27 my coach thinks i have some potential.

Avelives Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 My fiance is pretty cool when it comes to my geeky hobby (as she calls it) she gets ****ed off sometimes when im playing games you cant pause and she needs to get my attention, but with FM i can just pause it and attend to her every need (well assuming that entails making her a cigarette or a cup of tea lol) And besides i get PC fatigue quite easily and dont tend to play for long bouts, also working nights helps ALOT, those weird hours allow me to indulge my geeky hobby when shes asleep or at work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esteban_J88 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Mine reserved it, bought it, AND went to pick up for me. A lovely birthday. After a quick "thank-you" cup of tea, she left for her class at uni. This was all before 11am. She deserves credit. Needless to say i've hardly seen her, but FM comes first as we know. lol.

Nomis07 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think my other half enjoys the peace and quiet when i'm playing FM, I found a copy of FM09 on my pillow at bed time last night I'd told her I wasn't particularly interested in getting it just yet and was going to hold off, but she must have thought I was bluffing.

Blue Down Under Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Had too many threats, screaming and violence. She once actually threw the game into the street in front of the house. Luckily, I live on a relatively quiet street. Still nearly managed to get myself run over while hastily retrieving it. But was more relieved to find that only the case was damaged. Closest I've been to domestic violence, now I have learned the value f encouraging, hobbies, interests, friendships (wife-sitters basically) that don't involve me. I'd place a bet that fm never got anyone a girlfriend and that during the earlier days of dating, when you send your kind and considerate representative along, no guy actually admits to playing fm! Good luck playing and staying out of the ****, it's a fine. fine line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSCCG Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 She likes me playing with it actually. That way I keep myself busy and not be distracted by other girls! We are in a long distance relationship, see. She also pretends to be interested when I talk to her about FM and anything football related. What more can you ask for?

Macflyer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Reading this thread and thinking that girls are in fact more visually attracted types than they claim to be since "the dots" has come up here at the other end of the world as well. The day, FM is rendering 3d abs and biceps should put an end to this discussion and they will tell you who to buy and that means FM, the last resort for married/engaged men to do how they please, will be lost.

pr1celess Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Playing FM07 me and the gf came close to a 'termination by mutual consent' a few times. I was infatuated with the game, and she felt neglected! It got to the point where i had to shell out for my own lap-top so that I could play when i was back at mine, and she bought me 08 for xmas. I think she still bears a bit of a grudge, but i let her select the team for a few pre-season friendlies here and there, which seemed to work! My dad used to get annoyed with me, because I would just ignore him while playing 05. Him and my gf say they're gonna start up a campaign - FAFM - Families Against Football Manager!
