Your friend didn't know the guy was into computers when she got in the relationship?

I love playing on my PC, but I voted for a partner as being more important.

The only advantage a PC has over a partner is that I have full control over a PC.

OMG, you are a bomb waiting to explode!

About the poll. It depends on what time of the month you ask me. But for now I'll say GF. we've lived together for 3 years and she's been around longer than this PC- But when I get my new MB and CPU, it will be a tough call.

The poll is flawed...Im not voting at all...

PC...
usually reliable..
usually responds to commands
usually stays cool with a little tweaking.
usually does exactly what I want it to..

never lies..
never cheats..
never eats the last oreo
never drinks the last beer.

but then, it's an inanimate thing, a box, a tool, a source of entertainment.

Women....ah come on...this is a setup..

women lie
women cheat
women will eat the last oreo
and drink all the beer..and demand you go to the store and get more..
women are unreliable and petty and selfish and when the estrogen is too high and they outnumber you...they push you around alot, or try..
women seem to think they thought of it first..regardless of when you said it..
women always want the last word....
arguing with more than one is suicide...
women are almost as bad as men..
therefore since they are human and not machines...the poll is flawed.

I honestly can't vote on this as the option for me isn't there.

I've been divorced for over 13 years after being married for 23 years to the same woman.

All I can say, very honestly, is that I'm happier with my computer than I was with my wife....especially during the last several years. And that's VERY sad, indeed. There's nothing more miserable than a miserable relationship.

i am so sorry but i have to do it ....i cant resist .... mwah ha ha haha !!!!!!!!



Why computers are better than women

A computer can wait forever for you.

A computer doesn't compare you with it's past users.

A computer doesn't get calls from it's past users while you're logged in.

A computer doesn't mind how excited you get.

A computer doesn't tell you how completely terrific it's past users have been.

A computer is big in all the right places.

A computer never forgets your birthday.

A computer won't ask, "Are you in?"

A computer won't ask, "Is there another computer?"

A computer won't even talk about marriage.

A computer won't fall in love with you just because you have sex.

A computer won't get bitchy if you're slow to respond.

A computer won't grade you on how much you send it.

A computer won't look through your checkbook.

A computer won't mind how many other accounts you have, or if you keep getting new ones.

A computer won't say, "Let's just be friends."

A computer won't shave with your razor.

A computer's maintenance personnel don't cross-examine you every time you log in.

Computers are easy to turn on.

Computers are ready when you are.

Computers are very responsive.

Computers aren't into finding out how far you'll go to keep your account.

Computers do everything you tell them to.

Computers don't care about age differences.

Computers don't care if you're married.

Computers don't get pregnant.

Computers don't get upset if you use other computers.

Computers don't insist on foreplay.

Computers don't make you meet their parents.

Computers don't mind if you share them with a friend.

Computers don't mind spending hours on the phone with you.

Computers don't play head games unless you ask them to.

Computers never ask you to call them in the morning.

Computers never have headaches, or take rain checks, or have a curfew, or have that time of the month.

Computers won't mind if you don't like their friends.

If you don't like the feel of one terminal you can easily switch to another in less than a min.

Size doesn't count to a computer.

The average computer session lasts four hours.

With a computer, you never have to say you're sorry.

You can log into several computers at once.

You can turn off a computer.

You can visit a computer any time you like, and it'll be up and ready for you.

You don't have to tell computers you love them.

I'm weird, I have no interest in seeking a relationship at all. I am much more interested in working on my computers and electronics than dealing with people. (I'm not one of those weird people that doesn't want to meet anyone, I still have lots of friends)
