Thanks Mike.
To further this discussion about being single and an AFOL, does your chosen
hobby impact on your dating life? Are you concerned about prospective dates
finding out that you 'still play with LEGO'? Has a dating relationship ended
due to your hobby? I've used the statement, "If a woman is not going to date me
because of the vehicle I drive, then that's a woman I wouldn't wwant to date."
Much like LEGO--she doesn't have to sit with me in the basement and build stuff,
but if she doesn't accept the idea that I like to create with LEGO, and makes an
issue of it, well, eh, I've been single before :)
