> My gf told me I’m not allowed (...) I sincerely hope it's a joke, a simplification rather than an example of your "mutual understanding".

The basement is awesome, I could definitely live here, but seriously, find another girlfriend, this one is not good enough for you.

His basement looks better than my living room... :(

The livingroom looks sterile, like an ikea showroom^^. Potpourri-are you serious?!

Sigh. Don't hate on the girl. He has an entire floor to himself for this interest. I'm all into geeky, but I wouldn't want it in my upstairs

I understand how his gf feels, my bf is a warhammer player and there are miniatures, paintbrushes, foamboard and citadel paints everywhere

Uh, if he has a whole room devoted to the stuff, yeah he needs to let her have her space and shared space without the toys.

But check out his place/space tough

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.

Shoot... I'd love to be your nerdy girlfriend. I'd love to play some DnD or MTG with you for sure!

gees your house is tidy..

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 LOVE this! A brilliant way of combining individual tastes. It would be fun for visitors too... beautiful subtle Geek boy humour.

Maybe the house is owned by the gf:P

GF's decor? Tasteful, but cold and showcased. Does give the basement more impact, though. The basement? ABSOLUTE DREAM. INVITE ME OVER.

I want his basement! I would be so happy if i have a boyfriend like this!!

I think the basement looks better than upstairs.

"Manchild?" Oh yes, you guys are completely non-judgmental of his hobbies. Well done.

When i think of basements I think of creepy old concrete messes. Not this

He can't have "geeky stuff" but she can have plastic grass? ewww

Girlfriend wants the most boring baron house in the universe?

I felt sorry for him until I saw the basement

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.

this house is incredible! dump the girl keep your nice house

Yep, it's time to move on. There are plenty geeky women out there.

Time to get new girlfriend! But epic secret geeking.

If I had a geeky bf like you I would let you put anything anywhere!

Dump her and get someone who accepts you for who you are.

If my significant other told me what I could and couldn't have in the house, they'd become insignicant PDQ.

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.

Forget people who don't love you for who you are

Dude I want my entire house to look like your basement! Your "girlfriend" needs to lighten up.

poor guy tssskkkk

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.

Un-wife her.

change GF, that's what you should do.

I want to live in his basement, and i'm a girl!
