My missus has long since stopped objecting but I get the impression that she thinks that you lot are all a load of misogynistic, homophobic, big dog owning, flash watch wearing, IT geeks who live with mummy and spend every available penny on your rather naff cars, I tell her we are a broad section of the community and occasionally I recount certain threads that show SN in a good light (Astraboy's Bone Marrow donation impressed her) but I dont know how much it has done to change her opinion, apparent she can tell when I have been on SN, I just tell her to not start going on about that as its so SIAL.

What do your other halves make of this remarkable "institution" ?

My Girlfriend couldn't care less. I only come on here when I'm at work anyway.

My wife used to smile indulgently

Now it's none of her business

hodgy0_2

she thinks I am a total freak tbh

Jerome

My gf thinks I'm a sad Scooby geek for coming on here as much as I do, and I'm hardly ever on here compared to some! I think she even feels like a SN widow sometimes.

When she found out I had over 4000 posts she was staggered (even though it took 9 years). What she thinks of people with tens of thousands of posts is unprintable here.. LOL

Also, every time I wave at another Scooby, she takes the proverbial out of me and my "Scooby gang".

ScoobySteph

from a womans pov.... i don't get why girlfriends / wifes are like that

i always flash other drivers with the same car make as mine *giggles*

mykp

with the amount of time my wife spends surfing ebay she cant say nowt about me being on here, subaru forester or the other forums I go on cos there combined hours wouldnt even come close to her ebay addiction. Plus my forum use costs nowt, wish I could say the same for ebay!

austinwrx

only ever use it at work on the odd lunchtime.

got far more to do at home than be on forums on a night.

she does think its all a bit sad, ditto when I used to be on VW forums.

TelBoy

Only ever been a daytime habit, so partner doesn't really need to have an opinion.

yoza

My wife uses it to spy on me.

She has a user ID and posts occasionally, usually to find out how much things cost, or threatens to post daft pictures of me, blackmail stylee.

Nat inadvertantly dropped me in the ****, and it cost me a washing machine.

I noticed she posted on the GT-R thread to check out that an R35 has a driving log, which I sort of told her it did.

She also thinks I should do something more constructive with my time, like actually walk around a shoppng centre with her, rather that sit off in the car looking at posts on my phone, yeah right.

She also thinks I take it too seriously, which I agree with, I do.

I get the feeling that my other half thinks SN is a fit bloke

I have shown him some of the SN bloke pics to put his mind at rest and now he thinks i have no taste

harrisonl84

I need you as my girlfriend lol

Mine thinks it is all the more pathetic since we sold the last Impreza 4 years ago!

Subarus/scoobynet are great, women are even better, but the two are best kept apart. For example, i saw a woman last month driving an Impreza with pink wheels. Now this has got to be the equivelant of me buying a Gucci handbag and painting it with Dulux one coat

Yes, an I have never actually owned one, she is actually the reason for that as she says they are "********" cars hence my succession of Saabs, Volvo's and other stuff that has approval, next time I have told her that she has NO say in my car purchase, if I can afford it and she can drive it and fit more than two people in it then that fulfils the criteria, not going through my entire life being dictated to, its not exactly crime of the century as husbands activities go is it having a slightly naff fast Japanese mini cab, especially since her purchase of a Fiat 500, a fairly pointless vehicle that I have spent most of the summer workign on, I can guarantee that she wont have rust off my scoob in her eyes, welding burns, Hammerite striped arms and crust in the hair, oily fingernails etc etc because of my car to get it through the MOT, all she needs to do is walk past it disgustedly a couple of times a day !

You can tell her that you only go on SN to look at my puppies

Ant

My missus takes the **** inbetweeners style, "arrrr scooby net friends"..

She finds some stuff on here I tell her funny. But she just leaves me to it. She can't say much she's always on that **** perez hiltons site

ScoobySteph

have to agree there hun

StickyMicky

I don't think she minds at all, in fact i think she would probably prefer it, she is more bothered about the hours and hours of gunfire and explosions that seam to emit from the office when nothing good is on the TV

She went crackers a week ago on sunday when i was playing street fighter 4 with the volume apparently a bit to loud

bootsy

the wife love the scoob and loves cars in general.she is registered on here but hasn't been on here in years as she think its full of **** holes just on here to cause trouble

worley

I don't get the comments anymore, used to get the old 'spethial internet fwends' jibe, she does miss the odd blast in the Impreza though.

She spends her time on Pirate Bay...

OH F*** OFF

boxst

My wife thinks it is a bizarre habit -- but I have asked questions and got reasonably intelligent replies here so she thinks it is normal now.

She does ask why I come here after selling my Impreza many, many years ago!

Steve

the wife "doesn't do" the internet, she has no idea what a forum is. if i were to say "scoobynet" to her she would have no idea what i meant.
