did u build your first computer before you had your first girlfriend?

[TridenT]

Yes. Built my first computer around 14 or 15. I can't recall specifically. It would have been earlier if I had the money.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Yes, Built one when I was 11 or so.

10 years later, still no girl friend. Woo

 

[Krynj]

Yep. Built my first computer when I was about 12 or 13. First girlfriend around 14. We dated until I was about 18. Went through 3 or 4 computers during that time.

I've built 'gf's before computers. I did tons of experimenting with 'fleshlight' like devices way before they came along. One of the most memorable was made out of a beer coolie and two cassette tapes... as for a real gf... only if 5 grade, for like 2 days... none since... 31 now.

that shit is depressing.

see a pattern forming yet?

 

[IronWing]

I, I, ah I'veneverbuiltacomputer. <shame> I've modified them, plugged in math coprocessors, added memory, swapped cards, added drives, added ports, programmed, and so forth but I have never built one from scratch.

[xanis]

Yes. Built my first computer around 14 or 15. I can't recall specifically. It would have been earlier if I had the money.

You could be 30 and the answer would still be yes.

 

[lxskllr]

I had a kid, got married, and separated before I built my first computer :^D

 

[olds]

I was close to 40 before I built my first computer. So no.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

My first computer was a HeathKit 8088 and I had several gf's before I built it.

a beer coolie and 2 cassette tapes?

My imagination is pretty good and can be quite twisted but I can't figure that one out. Not sure I want to....

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Never had a girlfriend, but being that I built it at age 10, I probably would have even if I weren't anti-social.

 

[Greenman]

I started dating around 1970, there wasn't much hardware to be had back then.

 

[TheVrolok]

I don't think so, or it may have been right around the same time.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

This is ATOT. Seeing how everyone is a virgin, the poll should read 100% yes.
I kid, I kid...

 

[1sikbITCH]

I was married in 1996. I didn't build a PC until about 2000 or so.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Since during my 1st girlfriend the computer of the day was a Commodore 64, that'd be a no on building a system first. LOL.

 

[Leros]

Nope. I built my first computer while dating my second girlfriend.

It's possible to have a girlfriend and still be a virgin.

My first girlfriend had a pussy troll... never did end up doing her.

 

[mnewsham]

GF/pussy at 15, first build at 16...should have spent the money from the girl on a build.

 

[MotionMan]

I was sent home from Kindergarten for kissing girls and had a number of girlfriends before graduating from elementary school.

I built my first computer in my 20's.

So, no.

MotionMan

 

[stargazr]

No - not too many PC's in the 70's.

 

[Vette73]

First girlfriend was well before my first computer. We were 12-13 and home computers were not that big. I think the Vic-20 or so was out but that was just about it.

 

[LookBehindYou]

No. Was 22 ('02) before I owned my first computer. But, the first computer I owned, I built. Sigh....I miss my ti4600, was the absolute shit at the time.
