Message: [QUOTE="ThunderPT, post: 1604145, member: 67716"] No, I'm never be ashamed of playing poker. If I play, that's because I don't believe there's anything wrong with it, if I did I just wouldn't play... As for telling other people, I have a very extreme attitude towards this. I ALWAYS tell the truth no matter what. I'm probably the only guy in the world who, after coming home for Christmas in their 20s after a few months in the Netherlands (where, as you probably know, soft drugs are legal) had my conservative mom ask "So... did you... errr... try anything there?", answered as naturally as if I was telling what I had for lunch: "Yes, smoked a lot of weed and hash, tried some space cakes once too." It would be so easy to lie, like all the other exchange students in the Netherlands did to their parents, but I didn't. Why? Because I don't think I did anything wrong, so lying would be basically against my believes. Lying would be admitting I did something wrong, and I'd lose the right to stand up for it. This is how I see it. What happened was that my parents are now much more informed about the subject and now they, themselves, don't think I did something wrong. Same thing with poker or anything else about my life. If anyone has a problem with it, that's their problem, not mine. As for the dating aspect, what's your real concern? That she'll have a strong position against online poker thus making her lose any interest in you? If she's like that, why would YOU be interested in her? You're incompatible, move on! However, if it's because you just think it'll sound uncool, like I think it's your problem, you're the one making it uncool. You can make anything, no matter what, sound cool and interesting if you talk about it with excitement. You have to own it, be proud of it and talk about what about poker makes you like it so much. There are guys who keep girls interested talking about video games and firefighters who can't be interesting to save their lives. [/QUOTE]
