His Girlfriend Told Him He’s Not Allowed To Have Geeky Stuff In The House. Here’s What He Did
Thanks to the internet, geek culture is becoming more and more accepted, but there are still places where people who love all things fantasy and sci-fi face withering discrimination. One brave imgur user whose girlfriend forbids him from having geeky stuff anywhere other than the basement shared images of the subtle and funny ways in which he resists her tyranny – which is mainly by hiding little geeky toys in hard-to-spot places.
There’s one catch, though – the guy’s basement is a geeky manchild’s paradise, complete with an arcade, a home theater, and a mouth-watering collection of videogames and boardgames. So who do you think is in the wrong?

“My gf told me I’m not allowed to have any geeky stuff upstairs, it all goes in the basement.”
“Never underestimate a manchild.”
Meanwhile, this is how his basement looks:

I'll never understand why people without shared interests get together - find yourself a nice nerdy girl, dude.
Just bcause they don't share this interest doesn't mean they don't share any other interests!
Load More Replies...The basement is awesome, I could definitely live here, but seriously, find another girlfriend, this one is not good enough for you.
My GF told me the same thing; that's why she is my "X" GF. good luck dude
EXACTLY... my first move in GF had her stuff moved back to her mothers house in less than three weeks due to her whiny bitchiness
Load More Replies...Myself and my boyfriend have our nerd stuff everywhere. I'd never tell him he couldn't show his stuff off or limit him to one area.
The livingroom looks sterile, like an ikea showroom^^. Potpourri-are you serious?!
Maybe surprise her with some Alien vs. Predator posters. If that doesn´t cause domestic violence..
Load More Replies...I LOVE the basement! ;) its better than the rest of the house! I would stay there the whole day! :)
It's a nice place for any guest upstairs and a geeky wonderland below. Seems like a good deal to me
omgomgomgomg >_< <3 that basement!!!! hahahaha i hope you have more hidden treasures lying in wait around the house!!! lol ^_^
The gf is probably scared that the whole house would look like the basement thats why XD I wouldn't mind having my house like that boyfriend
the "basement" look like this http://imgur.com/a/hlLl5 He doesn't seem that restricted ^^
I'll never understand why other nerds love toys so much. I'm seriously one of the biggest nerds (not literally) in the f'ing universe and I consider toys childish. I own water cooled PCs, a 3d printer and lots of other nerdy stuff but never ever will I own miniatures. Neither do I understand anime and it seems like it usually goes hand in hand, if you like one you probably like the other one too just as much. That basement imo isn't tasteful at all. He could still be a nerd and own nerdy stuff without the ugly whole room carpet and ugly brown shelves. To each their though, I'm just a bitter person.
When all that s**t is worth a bunch of money she will be singing a different tune.
You know what destroys most nerds' confidence? Jealousy. Nerds are superior in every possible way to a normal person. Why? They pay more attention to life, and how they can live it. The jealousy of such knowledge infects and angers those around them, leading to this ugly thing known as prejudice, which manifests in practices like discrimination. Such discrimination is often en-masse, 100-1, so the poor dude/tte has no chance if he is targeted. S/he will simply crumble under the pressure, becoming withdrawn, shy, possibly even depressed and/or suicidal. What good reason would our world have to break such a good soul? You know who you are.
Shoot... I'd love to be your nerdy girlfriend. I'd love to play some DnD or MTG with you for sure!
I hate the term manchild, it is so sexist. I happen to be the adult child and a woman in my relationship, I want the geeky basement, and I have a partner who is not interested at all. I am the womanchild, a rare breed.... Apparently
I have a big who has never seen a Star Wars movie and who just started watching Harry Potter last year (we've been together 6 years). I have all my action figures, wands , toys, etc all over the house and even tho he doesn't really care for them he's never once asked me or told me I can't have them displayed in the house. Our place still looks nice and adult like even though we have a 2 foot tall Ash doll and various other stuff around the house. It's all in how you present it

Don't call this guy a man-child, playing with toys doesn't make you a kid. A man-child is a wuss emotionally.
I actually prefer the basement ! It's warmer and funnier. Upstair looks like a lifeless interior of a catalogue...
I LOVE this! A brilliant way of combining individual tastes. It would be fun for visitors too... beautiful subtle Geek boy humour.
She wants a Magazine Cover. She will need meds t Cope with Children, or it will destroy her.
GF's decor? Tasteful, but cold and showcased. Does give the basement more impact, though. The basement? ABSOLUTE DREAM. INVITE ME OVER.
I love how all these geeky toys were so well hidden through out the entire home! Regardless of those surprises, the home still looks great!
When i think of basements I think of creepy old concrete messes. Not this
this is funny......but he should put some geeky mural on the wall when she isnt in the house XD
yeahhh well, she's too strict with her "IDEAL" designs for the place. least she allowed you to keep the basement for yourself.
it should be a shared space; after saying that though I won't allow stuffed animal heads anywhere but his den.
He really needs a new girlfriend. I know dozens of geeky chicks who'd be happy to share that space.
I am looking for dining chairs like the ones pictured here...please pist the name of the company.
They look like ones from Ikea! Henriksdal is the name of them.
Load More Replies...Yep, it's time to move on. There are plenty geeky women out there.
Dump the b***h and get a nerd girl, dude. Unless you live in her house and don't mind being, essentially, a guest.
If my significant other told me what I could and couldn't have in the house, they'd become insignicant PDQ.
He should've dumped her lol. His man cave is cooler than the entire pretentious art collection.
Dump her. She's obviously got control issues and the guy's a grown man. He should be able to put whatever he wants up in his own house.
THAT IS FANTASTIC, LOVE HIS ORIGINALITY.. the girlfriend not not that cool.
if you're significant other is stopping you from being you, you're with the wrong person
Dafuq? I'm a neat-freak woman married to a messy husband for 16 years. She needs to chill. Wait until you have kids. Talk about a mess.
She sounds like someone who really enjoys your playful passive aggressiveness too. Good find.
Geek stuff would be an improvement over that hideous c**p she calls decor. This dude needs to grow a pair.
Women have not only achieved equal rights, equal professional status and salaries, they overcame Men , and are ruling their lives like moms
Maybe she needs to understand who the head of the household is, and if this had been my house originally she and her attitude would be out
