Why don't collectors "party" ?

[TrueDave]

Other than Horror fans and Renissance guys I dont see a lot of drinking drugging and yeah sexing.( I suspect booze etc might go hand in hand with getting frisky)

But most Sci Fi , comics, Toy, etc guys I kow don't drink. Not for religious or Health reasons . . .

Collectors party in their head without added chemicals.
It's a built in cerebral thing.

Getting a new MOC WGSH in the mail is a much bigger and longer high that doing drugs until you puke on yourself.

They've never partied with ZEMO! I was kicked out of Costa Rica lol

I'd classify myself as a drinker. In the summer I'd say on average I go out for drinks about 4 times a week. Sitting on a patio and hanging out at my local bar is how I like to relax. I probably have around 3-4 drinks when I go out. I don't do drugs (never have), and I very very rarely ever get drunk.

Are you saying that because you don't "party" you're having trouble meeting people to date?

I don't think you need to drink or do drugs to meet people these days - you just might need to find ways to socialize given your interests.

Maybe it was all those ads in comic books about how that stuff was bad?

Nerds don't get invited to parties, thus don't get peer pressured?

I party all the time though. So I don't really have a good reasoning as to why there seems to be a fair amount of non drinking/whatever types in the collector community. Though I'd probably guess it's the latter.

No I'm engaged . I'm good.

Just wondering if it was more than " Hey I could spend this cash on my want list"

[Zemo]

I think for the most part TD is right though.

You've obviously never been to the Mego Suite. P-A-R-T-Y!!

I don't drink because well, I get really gumpy when I start to get buzzed and it goes from bad to worse. I'm an easy going fun loving kind of guy, but guess the drink brings out my inner Hulk LOL LOL. Besides that stuff is spendy ... even Hectors' water beer costs LOL

Cool! I wasn't trying to be a jerk - I guess I was just confused about the "sexing" part you wrote.

Probably most of my friends collect something - and most of them party. Though I'm in an age group where kids and family come before both now.

Now that's some partying!

My cop friend and I were once kicked INTO a bar. We were too drunk to be out and the other officer's shift was about to end.

I don't think collecting has anything to do with it. I think the crowd that you hang out with also collects.
