Mine gets a glazed look in his eye like he’s sleeping with his eyes open (I had a grandma that really did, it’s actually super creepy) but he actually says he likes them, he just doesn’t act like it. Just gives me the eye when I blow money on horses, dragons and art stuff (my other fetish). I wish he wasn’t observant, I think he would have made a great cop cause he notices stuff he hasn’t even looked at that I can tell. Doesn’t trust that I’ve reformed from when I was homeless and ran cons on people (no need to now though, being married nearly ten years and three kids later will soften you, I don’t think I could pick his pocket anymore, been 7 years since I tried last 😀 😆 ) In many ways, he saved me.
I must be lucky… my husband loves and collects them too! 🙂 Then again we always really listed to each other. Some of the computer stuff he talks about is way over my head, but I try my best to learn and do enjoy listening to him about them. 🙂

My art: featherdust.comSo DH was looking at a new truck and I had to comment that an F-250 super duty diesel Lariet is a waste of money for us. Seeing how the F-150 we have now get driven once a week, only if it is nice enough to go to the car wash, since I have my own car and he has a company truck. To which he replied “you have 3 grand is ornaments, shut up” Shocked Laughing , he just doesnt get it I guess. He kinda gets this glazed over look when I talk about what ever goody I have coming in the mail, I imagine it is the same look I get when he goes on about how strange his ranger sounds when it shifts because it is a 5 speed unlike my 3 speed car, whatever the hell all that means,
.I am just going to repost what I put in my thread about this dang men.

😆 This is so true! It usually takes my husband 1 to 2 weeks to notice a new one and that’s only if it’s not in the display case. He just spotted the little rock dragon in the garden window last night (been there over a week). Two weeks ago I finally put my male pearl Griffin on the TV. I thought sure he knew it was there but was ignoring it. Then I showed him pics I took of it with the new chick. He says “You took that? Where?” 😯 I turned around and pointed to the TV. I won’t repeat what he said, but it’s a toss up whether he was more shocked or embarrassed. I doubt if my laughter helped. 😆
My guy likes them and thinks they are pretty neat. He is really partial to the Black-gold coloring but I have yet to corrupt him fully yet. I think once I buy him one for his birthday he will come over to the dark side and get them all. 😈
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

It’s like he’s my grandfather sometimes, and tells teh same story over and over and over and over 🙄
My BF does the same thing. He even sometimes has the audacity to flat out tell me, “I DONT CARE” Blue, maybe if you and I started the conversation like we were talking about a video game, then quickly lapsed into dragons, that would trick them into listening 😈
He is glad I stopped talking so much about my little ponies. THAT drove him up the wall 8)
LOL
My ex (Scott) didn’t care much, and was gone Mon. thru Fri. for most of the year. He never cared so he didn’t notice them one by one sneaking into the house until one day he noticed all 40 I had bought that year… 😯 I couldn’t believe he didn’t notice alot earlier than that.
Dave ont he other hand, waits for my boxes to show up. Just so he can say, “Another one came today…woo hoo” 😕 But he never sounds too excited. But he has figured out which ones are my favorite sculpts and what colors are my favorites. And he always has his nose in the boxes when I open them. He is still stuck on the Brown Dragons and Wizard Woodlore.
After all the buttholes and jerks I have been with, I finally found a truely “Nice” guy, who also likes my colleciton and pays attention (somewhat, or until I trail off on a hour long explanation of why I want/love this certain sculpt) when I talk. But it probably helps that I like what he likes to talk aobut too! Such as guns (mostly paintball), RC Cars, Biking, Hiking, Antiques, yadda yadda. He is weird, but I love him! 😆WolfenMachine wrote:bluepony78 wrote:Yet the MOMENT he has something to tell me about a vidio game, a gun, or computers, by golly I had best be listening, even if it’s by far the most boring stupid thing I’ve ever heard(or, if he’s already told me a few times before….which happens a lot).

I’m glad somebody else has that problem. Well, not glad per se, but… well, you know 😆
This one dude I hang out with sometimes does that a lot. Computer this… RPG that… random anime this… something else that… And then he either ignores me when I talk about a subject he didn’t bring up or changes the conversation quickly back to what he wants to talk about. At one point I got fed up and just did the same thing he was doing. We spent almost an entire 45 min. lunch break holding two seperate conversations before he noticed that I wasn’t talking about what he was talking about and got all mad about it. Which shows me that my responses didn’t matter, he just wanted to listen to himself talk.
And the thing is I really don’t care about his stuff any more than he cares about my writing or classes or Windstones… but at least I make an effort to comment on his stuff, understand it and try to see how he feels about it. Boy did we have one heck of a discussion when he demanded to know why I still won’t date him after him asking three times….
And they say women are the ones who talk too much 😀
My Ex actually told me he didn’t care one day when I was telling him about work. I couldn’t believe it! I ask about his day and listen to him complain all the time, and he couldn’t do the same thing for me? I understand my job was a bit over his head (Helicopter maintenance and paperwork) but he could have at least pretended. 😕 I think its really disrespectful to say something like that. I am sure he has other perks though.

Notice he is an ex 😆
My man’s eyes glaze over at the sight of Windstones…but it’s usualy because he’s drooling over them too much 😆 Right along side of me!
Well my bf at least knows what color emerald is. I have shown him other colors and he says that he is partial to Emerald.
