This morning, I was troubled to read of a questioning Tintin fan. Here, we own our Tintin pride. This young man clearly needs our help. Read on:
Does my Tintin action figure and memorabilia collection make me nerdy and undateable?
Now this is a very serious question, primarily for the women out there, but guys, you might have some input as well, and I am grateful for it and welcome it all.
I’m a 30 year old former professional who found that his first career (J.D.) wasn’t what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, so now I’m back at college polishing up my sciences so that I can go to Medical School. I’m financially secure, my family is pretty normal, and I’m attractive enough: tall, fit, decent face. I am bald, but I’ve got a good build.I have a decent place near campus considering that I’m living frugally with future tuition costs in mind. Anyway, blablabla….
My quandary is this: I’ve been collecting these action figures, model cars, and sculptures from this French language mid 20th century comic book entitled ‘Tintin’ for years and now I feel like they give off a very “nerdy” or “toolish” vibe to my place.
Here’s a link to some of the statues I have collected, I like them a lot and it’s a way of remembering my ancestry and the good times from my childhood and my Grandmother who would read them to me in French:
I also have some of the 1:43 scale model cars, which are very well done…
Okay, so I guess the question is: Ladies, if you met a guy who was chill, that you were thinking “he seems okay” or “this might be going somewhere good…” or whatever. Not a “no”, but you were somewhat interested, would seeing some of this stuff in said guy’s nice, clean, well furnished apartment freak you out?
Please just give me your honest reactions to this. I want to make a great first impression, but I don’t wish to compromise my individuality.
What do you think? Do the cartoon statues and cars stay or do they go?” (via)
Tintin friends–what do we tell this poor tortured soul That’s right-TINTIN STAYS!
