Good grief, how many serious/joke posts are there going to be about the OP being a lazy slob? And almost everyone seems to view collecting comics as some kind of of extremely nerdy and unacceptable hobby.

Not at all, tell the next chick you meet at a bar about your comic collection, it's a sure-fire way to get women all up on that goonwiener.

So women can't have genuine, or at least passing, interest in comic books? I'll remember that next time I'm talking to a woman and instead I'll explain why women aren't good drivers.

Why would you even bring this up, anyway? Should every man's hobbies and interest revolve around trying to pick up women, and ONLY trying to pick up women?


I honestly can't tell if this is a serious post or not.

I think it's odd that you find misogyny in my post, but can't see it in the OP's demand that his mother continue to care for him into his adulthood, and do so without complaint. Or with his viewing porn(which objectifies women). I say this as a man raised by a single mother, who started willingly paying rent to her at 17 because my father never paid a dime of child support.

The OP is kind of irrelevant in his criticism of your post? Did you not imply that he should cater his hobbies around things that will impress women?

That was not my intent, and it's a bit of a reach.

Yup. My eyeglasses cost close to $1k/pair with insurance (and my insurance is excellent); prescription sunglasses were about $800. If your eyesight is bad enough and you can't wear contacts there's really nothing you can do. Pretty understandable thing to spend a loan on IMO.

e: and if his eyes are as bad as mine he probably won't be able to buy glasses online.


Yeah I got an eye exam for 160 with no insurance (would have been less but I hadn't had an exam in a while so I sprung for a better test). Bought 2 pairs of glasses from Walmart for about 100 apiece. I have spent as much as 450 for a single pair with insurance for say Armani or Dolce & Gabbana frames when I was younger and less practical.

Most full time jobs' health insurance covers insanely cheap or even free eye exams.

I only have mild astigmatism for what it's worth.
