My gf calls me her little dorky nerd...then i remind her that she loves me and she stays quiet after that.

She barely knows how to change the alarm (yes, I've tried to teach her). She play the hell out of Bubblebreaker though! Between my phone addiction and sled addiction (snowmobile, not the plastic slide down the hill type), my wife's a wreck! Between this site and Dootalk.com, a lot of my time is "wasted" (wife's definition). As long as I do a little housework and make sure her sled is ready for winter play time, it's all good. Love is what will win in the end.

my ex would steal my phone every chance she got, just to play Bubblebreaker...so i got her an older Apache just so she could play...that kept her happy, as well as me happy too

[littleevil]

I must be in role reversal. My bf says everyday " can you put that damn thing down for 5 minutes." Lol weird part is we are both computer nerds. We both built our computers, but he has as stated earlier "double standards" play GTA4 he shuts up ,but if i plug in my usb cable for my phone omg here she goes again.

Ugh!

Lol, I was with this girl that was suuuuuperrrrrr beautiful.
Like the definition of beautiful.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect body/skin.
Heck, she's a model and has all these paying gigs and not even 18 yet.
But I don't have a car/license due to my dui crap I'm dealing with,
so that kinda stopped that there. :/
She was actually a really cool girl too,
down to earth, doesn't like to spend money,
super awesome, but that dang dui still haunts me.

hahahahahahaha.
That reminds me of the saying
"If nothing else, do it for the taxes...."

but more like "If nothing else, do it to shut her up"
bahahahah!

Putting the hdWobble on his TP appeased him once again and landed his coworker's phones in my lap as well to "geek" them out.

I get all my friends'/coworkers'/familys'/etcs' phones too.
It's kinda fun messing with the different phones.
but sucks at times since I say I'll get their stuff done,
but I wanna work on mine. lol.

lol. I can infer what you two were saying,
but still can't read hex. haha.

I know it!
So many of them!!
But I love it!!

lol. same here.
I get complaints about me always being on the computer and them not getting a chance to use the computer.
I tell them the library is open.

that's no bueno.
those type of girls usually end up making you bankrupt. haha.

HAHA That's awesome!

haha wow.
too many purses.
I would start taking the "older" ones that she never uses and eBaying them.
LMFAO!!

Maybe that's why I'm single,
no sense in having stuff laying around when you never use them. haha.

It all goes back to that stupid dui, losing my car and license....
I would have had the perfect girl if that didn't happen.
grrrrrrr.

A woman is like a custom rom sometimes you flash it(dating) and it just don't work out than you flash another one and than another one til you get tired and you flash back to your stock(single) rom til a chef(nice lady) cooks(too bad she can't cook food and custom roms eh lol) the perfect rom for you! Lmaoooo

HAHAHAHAHA I love that.
Saving that one.

Maybe I need to dumb down a bit to get a guy who'll treat me that good. I think my nerdiness scares guys off. There must be something emasculating about a girl who can fix a guy's computer better than he can, cause it certainly hasn't gotten me anywhere yet.

hahahaha.
At times I feel that way about girls.
It seems like most girls hate it when the guy is smarter than them at certain things, or maybe it's because I correct them. baahahahah!
But I say it in a jokingly, poking fun kind of way that makes them laugh.
So I never really saw any harm till I just wrote that, haha, sounds 10x's worse now.

Hey take a guy friend shopping with you one day to see what he would like. but take a cool guy friend, not one of your nerdy computer dork friends that still wear turtle necks!

Agreed.

haha, I'm still wearing alot of my clothes from highschool. lol.
Like 2-3yrs ago.
If I didn't have that dui I'd be able to afford new clothes.
I've had to pay back 25,000+ in fines/court fees/etc/etc/etc.
and yes, that's 25 grand.

HAHAHHAHAHAH!! Sooooo true!!

uh oh, better start inspecting those condoms for pin holes.
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I personally do not want kids,
atleast till I get where I want in life,
another reason why that girl I mentioned earlier was perfect for me...
ugh. stupid dui.

My woman hates it when I get a replacement phone, b/c then it means i'm gonna be re-installing either the whole ROM along with a bunch of old apps, with one of them that I messed up my phone with, or just all new stuff to play with. I'm thinking of getting her a Touch Diamond, though, as she wants to start her first job soon...

[Rourke Swift]

My GF is ready to throw my phone out the bedroom window into the driveway, where she will douse it in gasoline before setting it on fire, and then run it over in her truck until all the flames go out.

Personally, I think she's just pissed she got a Delve...

[kabuk1]

In all seriousness- if I'm dating a guy & he absolutely HATES my ppc obsession, I will dump him. Cause it's NEVER gonna go away, and I don't wanna spend my life with someone who b***hes about my favorite hobby 24/7. Its like if my dog doesn't like someone- she's never been wrong about anyone and neither have my gadgets!

And diamond, ugh, I need a sdcard slot.
Deal breaker for me.

haha. Likewise.
I was hanging out with this other girl,
and she was always mad that I was always modding/tweaking/hacking my phone in my free time.
I was like you should be glad that I'm not doing it while we're hanging out. hahaha.

[Damionix]

This is the BEST THREAD EVER ON THIS FORUM.

Well, my Wife is not quite the geek. But she does pick up fast. In the early stages of our dating, she had this ugly Samsung phone from T-mobile. Then I brought her to Windows Mobile World, and she has not left Bubble Breaker since. Curse you Bubble Breaker. Aint to getting her attention when she is popping those bubbles, but for some reason, if I want to PPCGeek for a little bit, it becomes how I don't pay attention to her or spend time with her.
Got her the New Palm Pre, and hope the WOW factor lasts as long as it can. Flashing without the complaints has been super awesome since then.
Release the SDK already Palm, my PPCGeek-ness depends on it.

For the mean time, Good dinner out makes up for the time PPCGeek steals away from her.

[Carla]

Haha, Damionix I think the freedom Palm is providing you is only nominal LOL!! Just keep the toys coming and she should be cool
