So we had another fight about me spending too much time playing with and talking about android and phones. As long as cellphones don't come up in conversation we were the happiest couple in the world. But I finally broke up with her because I couldn't even think about android without her getting mad at me. And I figured I would just find a girl that shared my interest. But I just realized that there are ZERO females(at least in the state of alabama) that even know what android is. Should I quit looking now? Does anyone have any advice to find them(if they exist that is)?
I lol'ed so hard.
if this isnt a troll , ur a noob for not being able to control urself not to talk about ur fone
sounded like my wife ...picking a fight because too much time on xda and phones.... Well, you can move from your state

Sorry you think I'm a noob, but I can control myself enough to not talk about it, but WHY should I? I'm going to look for a girl with common interest, and if I don't find anyone I will suppress my techie talk. But until I know that she doesn't exist, why would I change the kind of woman I would like to date?
So next time your off just supermanning hoes think about what a relationship should be about.
This is what I get for asking for girl advice on xda
LMAOO! If your serious, I really think you messed up BIG time! Call her now, apologize, and get off of XDA.
sorry to hear it bro. my wife also gets pissy when im on modding/hacking forums too much, but she'll get used to it eventually
I somewhat agree with Original Android.... if you usually get along, apologize and try to consider some of her interests. some people just dont get our devotion(addiction) to such things
as far as quitting XDA..... bad idea. maybe just set a specific time for this great site.
its all about compromise homey..... i hate you for making me think serious!! j/k
Had a fight here too for this very same reason...

Well my friend, it's time to negotiate . I did this with my wife, I agreed with her that I will spend some hours a week to be on the web and xda of course (while she's around). So both of us are happy since I comply with the terms when she's around ....but she's not always around you know.
Yes, time is not equal my girl says...
Anyway we should re negotiate a new way if possible
She's the one, I'm pretty sure of it

Ok first off, hope you are LOVING highschool and football still. And yes I messed up big time, she's truely a wonderful person. But I didn't have to call her, she called me and we came to a compromise. She said if I would buy her that "nexus thingy" and actually "teach" her what I was talking about, she thinks she would really enjoy learning about it. And in my mind it wasn't a compromise, I got exactly what I wanted..... oh wait I just spent $500 on an N1

I'm going to be frank. Return that N1. The relationship is now headed in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons.
In your future relationships, if you're with your girl, be with your girl. Learn to compromise. Your partner's reaction to the particular behavior (i.e., dealing/talking Android) is ultimately just a natural reaction towards the frequency in which you exhibited it (i.e., excessively). Imagine if your partner asked you to accompany them to go shopping every day of the week for at least 3 hours each day. While you guys are shopping, she'll talk to you about every brand, and fashion, etc. Should she leave you because you aren't interested in her interests?
Your Android fetish is a hobby. There are more important things in life that you should be paying attention to. I'm not saying this girl is -the- one you'll be with for the rest of your life, but things like growing and improving social skills should take greater precedence than learning and keeping what's up with the latest and greatest on Cyanogen mods.
Take my advice for what it's worth to you. Just remember, at the end of the day, it's just a phone.
Im not returning the N1. I shouldn't have ever posted this thread. I know exactly what important things are in my life(what exactly did you even mean by that??). I'm going to stop this now because people don't and can't know every detail about our relationship and it is now being misinterpreted.
And it's not about roms or tweaks it's about the future of technology, which I think everyone can agree is rather important
well this is funny... you are trying to find a girlfriend on XDA ?

fk, i had something like this too once, since then i didnt talk about phones that much anymore xD..
well but she knows now that this is like a hobby for me, and its not that bad when i talk about it from time to time...
hell we are techjunkies, but even we need to hold back with our tech **** when talking to a girl xD
(i knew that before, but, for example, i couldnt live with it, if my gf would buy an iphone.................XD)

You telling me that it's not about ROM or tweaks and that it is actually about the future of technology is really a bad attempt at justifying your hobby. This is even illustrated by the following clause when you feel the need to garner further support of your hobby by amassing the opinions of your fellow XDA members.
But nevermind that, good luck with the relationship. I do hope that things work out in the end.
daamn!!!
I usually dont talk about phones when Im with my girl... hell I've even visited xda less, since Im in a normal relations (not those in which I have to be responsible for everyf**king thing.. - had one of those about a year and a half ago)
anyways - just find something to talk about that is interesting for both of you + keeps your mind off the phones...
or if you can't you can get yourself off the xda, or you can always ask someone to ban you.. just kidding
so basically she had the bravery to say : $500 fone or no sammiches
and ur happy about it
I was asked this today (not a suicide topic) and all I could come up with was "i want to be a great teacher one day" . The person told me thats all? I said yep then got looked at like I was crazy.
So I ask you all whats your reason to live every day?

Seriously though: I want to teach elementary school because I think that our educational system has lost alot of essentials that I had back in my elementary school days. I recently went back to a Middle School and some of the things I heard from teachers is that the students are not as focused or bright as they used to be. Tech savy yes, mentally strong, no.
I don't have anything in mind. If something needs do happen, it does, else, it don't. I don't see much in life at the moment.

I am a geek.lol and yes I know how to have fun and go dating. I stopped dating a software developer guy months ago because I can't feel the spark anymore. It could be a temporary feeling. And last week, a friend of mine introduced me to his friend and it was love at first sight. He asked me out. The only problem is, he said he's not looking for anything serious. I don't think I want to be in this relationship but I like him. Maybe in the future he might change his mind?
If you like the guy, you gotta play "hard to get". I know it may be uncomfortable for you, but it really works well, especially if he seems to be attractive. In addition, really try to enjoy and be interested in the things he likes. Don't be showy about it, but ask him questions about it in a casual tone. People love to talk about their interests and hobbies and he will think the conversation is going really well when you do that.
Who knows, maybe something more will come out of it. I am just giving you a starting point.
He asked you out and said he didn't want to be in a serious relationship? Sounds like he just wants teh secks without having to deal with an actual relationship. As a guy, I can admit to have saying such similar things. Proceed at your own caution!

Dont bother with the hard to get stuff.
But dont start seeing him, grow attached, and then be surprised and hurt when it turns out he really doesn't want a relationship. He told you he didn't. Plus he's a friend of your ex-guy so if you want to have another go at a relationship with him sometime (since you said the lack of spark could be just a temporary feeling), then you're best off staying away from his buddy. The grass isn't always greener over there on the other side of the fence.
Dont make the classic chick move where u go for the guy who's not good for you just because he's new meat and he's hot, only to regret it later.

Meh if she likes the wig and her friends like the wig let her wear it. If you feel she is not respecting your opinion and its making you angry maybe you should take a break and possibly meet other people and see how you feel after a couple of months. She sounds like she wants a break at the moment. Also I agree if she is going to lie about your altercation its probrobly better to try and move on as you probrobly can't trust her after future arguments

I think maybe you should stop with the confessions to criminal acts online, actually all together, keep your hands to yourself, cut your losses, take an anger management class and find a new woman who performs sexual favors and not reality tv drama filled escalations of bad situations.

Not to be rude but my last relationship started out by just pushing it also had controlling.. i stayed and in the seven years it turned into domestic violence by him.. it was the worst time of my life if you honestly love someone that much let them go if its meant to be itll be.. but you can never say you didnt mean to push hit or say things because its in you learning to control yourself and anger is the first thing i would recommend before allowing her or someone else in your life.. and any girl that wants the attention by lying is honestly just a little immature still and not worth it

Did no one else read this? There is nothing okay about getting physical with someone because he or she tells you about being unsure of how he or she feels about the relationship.
You need to give her some space, and you need to figure out what made you feel violence was the answer to her being honest with you. Some people might sugar coat this but that's how this kind of stuff keeps going on. You assaulted her and you need to realize that. There's something wrong with how you saw fit to handle the situation, and honestly it sounds like you are basing too much of who you are on the relationship. Nip this in the bud, now.

@OP
Dude, whatever is going on with that girl and you, it sure ain't love. I haven't actually read a single word you've written that indicates you love her, just going on about how much you and your family have done for her.
She doesn't owe you anything and if she is having doubts about the relationship it is far better that she tells you than keeps it secret. When she told you, that was your opportunity to sit down with her, talk, tell her how you feel and try to work on things -.not to react the way you did or to blame her for her feelings.
Accept that it is probably over. Give her space, let her carry on living under your family's roof if she needs to and let her know that you are sorry, will be there as a friend if she needs it and will deal with the anger issues - professionally if you need to.
The way you reacted physically at 19 years old isn't just a sign of immaturity, it is a precursor to a much worse future - take that as advice from someone who has done time and seen / heard many things that would scare the crap out of you. Deal with your anger NOW before it deals with you.

A good reason? Okay. An evil villain has taken over the world and is destroying everything and killing everyone. An old tattooist does tattoos that give the person super powers. You get the tattoo and save humanity. Plus the tattoo is sick and you get tons of b***hes.

Military pride is a legit reason. To this day, if I see an older man with a wrinkly Military based tattoo, he gets much respect.

That's behind every tat on me. It's gotta mean something and you've got to believe it will always mean something,
Good and bad are not quantifiable things. You can't measure goodness. There is no such thing as a "good" reason. There are only reasons. So anybody who has a reason has a "good" reason. It's not done for you to agree with it.
I don't see a good reason. When I see people with tattoos, I don't think of them in a good way. It just looks stupid. That's just me though.

My humble opinion...
There's no real answer. My first tattoo was a giant 8-bit pixelated Mega Man on my leg. I got it because when I was a kid, my pops lost his business in Boston and we were stuck moving down to Florida where my grandparents lived. We moved into their 2-bedroom "manufactured" home in the middle of a retirement community. My folks saw that my brother and I had no kids in the neighborhood to play with, so they got us an NES and a copy of Mega Man 2 for Christmas that year. I played that game for months on end, well past the point where my parents were obviously annoyed with the music in the game. For that first few months until my family got back on its collective feet, Mega Man was my best friend. Fast forward almost 20 years later, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo, and the Blue Bomber was my choice. I was actually a little afraid that when I went back to visit my mom, she was going to freak out about me getting inked. But instead, she immediately recognized it and even thought it was a great tattoo to get.
The moral of this story? The only reason that matters is the one you rationalize yourself. To most people, a Mega Man tattoo is a silly and nerdy thing to do. To me, it's a silly and nerdy thing to do that reminds me of how much my parents cared about my happiness as a child, no matter what. I'm happy with it, and I couldn't care less if the rest of the world doesn't see or know the reason for it. Every tattoo I have means something to me, and I'm the only one who needs to know it.
I personally cannot think of a reason I'd get one. Other than the military pride that was mentioned because of the whole brotherhood the army gives you. I just don't see myself getting one, but I've heard quite a good amount of reasons for others.

I think there is no good reason simply because it's hard to remove a tattoo if you don't like this tattoo any more.

anyway, well one good reason to get a tattoo would be because you are extremely compassionate about art.
well that's my reason.. i'm planning to get an awesome tat on my nape as soon as i turn 18 or something, but that tat has to have a significant meaning to my life of course

Twenty years on and i hate my tattoos now. Given the choice i would still have tattoos in the same places, but they would be different tattoos. Therein lies the problem though. Your tastes change from year to year as you yourself change, but tattoos are permanent.
I agree with Card83 and a few others that have said, it's should mean something to you, not just something that is cool at the time like a barb wire arm band because you will come to hate it.

Well ive always said i would only have my kids names on me.
And when my son was born I had his name tattooed onto my chest. And if i have any more kids then i will be putting there names on my chest aswell.
But apart from that i will not be having any other tattoo on me as anything else wont mean anything to me apart from "looking nice"
A friend of mine got the name of his best friend tattooed inside his wrist when said best friend took his own life two years ago. As a way to remember, and a reminder. They were very close.
And there are always more practical reasons for tattoos. You just don't always consider them. There are a lot of soldiers who get their data tattooed on various bodyparts, just in case. IED's really don't care if you want to keep you bodyparts attached, and thus the tattoos makes IDing easier.
Personally I don't have any. I'm not on good terms with needles.
