Today, my fiance brought me to his friend's house to hang out. When I got there they said they were playing cards and invited me to join. I sat down with the expectation that they were playing poker. No. They were playing Magic Cards and they thought it was COOL. My fiance plays MAGIC CARDS! FML

I don't really see the problem here.

Hope your fiance finds someone who can accept him for who he is.

you're a prep aren't you?

Agreeing with #2 and 3. :( Poor guy.

FML for the husband, your wife is dud, i suggest getting a refund.

I like how you made it really clear how disgusted by this you are. I'm just wondering why you would have been pleased if it was poker. But it's nice how you rejected his attempts to include you in his life.

And here's hoping he wises up and breaks it off with you.

Magic cards as in Magic the Gathering?

Well let's see... they were playing a game far more complex than poker and requiring actual brainpower and varying tactics rather than a simple algorithm and some bluffing skills... and the wife finds this disappointing...

Chalk one up for sexist stereotypes!

MAGIC CARDS OH NOES!

Seriously, we are proud of our status as outcasts ;)

Seriously, grow up.

I think that's pretty cool. I love that side of guys, especially when it's dominant :P

Lol that must have been funny when you sat down and they were like "I use my fiery wizard to kill your orc." Lol. However, if he IS in fact your fiance you should be more tolerant with him. If you aren't, then most likely he will just break up with you, and you won't have to worry about playing magic cards with your fiance, because you won't have one.

"Today, I checked the FML website and noticed that my fiancee had posted a FML. She's ashamed of me playing Magic Cards- a game more complex than poker. FML"

Wow, and I bet you don't do ANYTHING other people might not think is cool, right?

BAHAHA you're fiance is a LOSER!!!

Wait, no, sorry, got him mixed up with that superficial bitch he's engaged to.

just be happy he isnt playing World of Warcraft, Everquest, or some other MMO that tends to leech your soul away. as long as it doesnt interfere w/ daily life or your relationship, quit your bitchin.

Wth are magic cards? I don't really see the fml here.

You think -your- life is f'ed? I feel sorry for your fiance :(

I gotta agree with #16, you're a superficial bitch, at least he has the mental capability to grasp that and be open with you about it. Better than an idiotic empty headed gear-head or some muscle bound jock who has a brain the size of a peanut!

whatever, to each his own i always say. I play TT WH40k what's the big deal?

people these days think whatever isn't in...isn't cool

well guess what... nobody who cares

Yeah, it should be his FML since he is the one with a horrible fiance that thinks that her life is ****ed cause he plays magic.

if you haven't realised that he plays magic until now, then clearly it's not taking over your life or his. in that case i don't see why you're so disgusted with him. do you really expect a guy to not have a geeky hobby? YDI

Too bad your fiance doesn't know what a bitch you are =\

I love guys like that. He definitely deserves better.

It's a game, so what if he plays?
I agree with most of the other people here. You're superficial, immature, and really just plain unintelligent.

I hope you drown in wasps.

Hm, Magic the Gathering?

That's a fun game :)

OW MY GOD!!!! where they playing the most popular cardgame in the world!!
that's like totally... normal
dipshit

OP: I find it amusing that you are engaged to this person, and you're only JUST NOW finding about about this hobby. Either you two aren't that close, or this particular interest just doesn't interfere. For the record my boyfriend and I, both 21+ years old, play Magic, WoW and a whole series of other MMOs and video games. Neither one of us judges the other for it. You might do well to think about how important your relationship is if you're going to have a hissy fit about something so insignificant. :/

I hope that you were not expecting any sympathy here.
#16 you took the words right out of my mouth.

i played Magic The Gathering for some years. a realy good game if you have a deck that is good to u'r opponents.

Agreed with #3 and #16. You sound really immature.

So fucking what? They have different hobbies than you, grow the fuck up you dumbass 12 year old. People like you really piss me the fuck off.

You're pretty shallow. I hope you're young so you a least you have a quasi-excuse and the potential to mature =\.
Also, did you guys rush into an engagement or something? How do you not know about his hobbies?

And you're a whiny little bitch that he doesn't deserve.

So?

u are a real bitch. i agree with #35. are you really that shallow that you didnt ask/care/know about his hobbies? and hey. play it next time. it could be pretty cool. right now, YOU are the loser.

Today, I decided to share my love for Magic Cards with my fiancee, so we could spend time together when I was with friends. She looked disgusted, like she wanted to flee from the room. All I wanted to do was spend more time with her. FML.

Big deal?
#31 is right..
a lot of fml's here are about spouses not inviting each other to places, at least yours did

Stop complaining, stop being shallow, grow some brains.
So, your fiance plays Magic. This can mean a few things:
- A random person walked up to you and proposed to you, you were desperate and accepted
- You've been together with your fiance for a while, but you don't really know him and his hobbies because you concentrate on yourself too much. Did you never see his Magic cards lying somewhere in his room or something?
- He only plays the game every once in a while to have fun with a few friends, which is why you never noticed and it should not be a problem.

If a card game he occasionally plays is getting in the way of your agreement to marry him, do the guy a favour and end the engagement. I feel sorry for him for having proposed to such a self-absorbed bitch.

Magic Cards aren't that bad. Sure, they can be considered "nerdy," but hey, he's your fiancee. Love him and accept him. Stop complaining.

One last thing: if you want someone YOU can brag about and can use as an accessory to complement YOURself, someone YOU can mould like YOU want instead of someone who's actually got a character of his own - stop looking for a boyfriend and get yourself a chihuahua.

If anything, that should just add support to your decision to marry him.

So suddenly its wrong to like something that someone else doesn't? This isn't a fml, dont be with someone you cant appreciate. Playing a fun game like Magic isn't the end of the world, join in.. you might like it. Stop being so close minded.

You're a fucking bitch. who cares if he plays magic cards?

I really hope he finds someone worth his time, who accepts him for what he enjoys doing.
I bet you're one of those uptight chicks who think all the "nerdy" stuff is for losers, when really you know nothing about it, and just assume everyone whos into that stuff can't get laid, or doesn't have a life. What's sad is, you come on here bitching about it, hoping some girls agree with you.

You fail. Your fiance deserves way better.

Wow you definately got problems if your honestly that closed minded

Your husband can so do better in my opinion

Yeah, I fail to see the problem, nether YDI or FYL but Fuck Your Fiances Life for having to live with you forever.

Screw you. I play magic. What the hell is wrong with that?

I agree with 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 43, 41, and so on. You're a shallow bitch. Get over yourself, seriously. FYFL because he doesn't know how dumb he is for marrying you.

You're a nerd just for knowing what magic cards are. Yes, definitely, FML. RUN! RUN AWAY!

Wow, so he's a hardcore nerd? When he dumps you, can I have him?

MTG kicks ass, you're lame.

oo please ppl if she can't make fun of her fiancé than who can .. Playing magic cards isn't app something that she's used to so I'm sure it threw her off a bit.. And while it really isn't that big a deal I can def see the humor in it and it doesn't make her a stuck up bitch ..

Well you're a bitch

if you can't be with a guy who has a worthwhile hobby than just go home, make a blog and complain and cry about your life. don't worry people who read it will have a good laugh, at you of course but still a laugh

I smell a troll here. ¬_¬

YDI for not already knowing about it.

Kind of snobby to turn your nose up at the game...I think it's cute. It's better than guys getting together watching porn and inviting you to come. You should feel lucky to have a fiance like that - he seems sweetly innocent.

#46 = win

That's exactly why i don't deny or try hiding the fact that i play video games and what not. Because of ignorant up tight females would say "Oh you play *game name here*". Which would then break up with you. I love highschool lol

damn you suck, seriously are you gonna divorce him now because he isnt 'cool' anymore.. youre like 16 or something... let him have his fun, and go wash your mouth with soap for thinking that poker is cooler then magic.

This is why teenage 'marriages' are a bad idea.

I don't personally care for magic myself (did try, donated my deck to a friend) but your reaction had me going WTF!?

I get that you don't like MTG, I accept you may think it's "uncool", but your reaction ... you're ENGAGED to this guy!

Trolling like a winner or a complete prepped up CD

And this is chosen as an FML? Aarghh! Man lighten up, give the guy a break...could explain why he had to "invite" you, you seem way judgemental without a streak of fun... I'm just saying

Everything I thought when I read this has already been said, and yet I must say... You are one hell of a shallow bitch.

who moderated this? this site has become a bitch site. ydi for being a hater.

Tell your fiancé that if he ever decides to ditch you and wants a girl that would play Magic WITH him, to give me a call!

This guy/chick is either really immature or a 13-year old troll.

Except for things like the idiots that do drugs or drive drunk, I haven't really cared for what is "uncool" or not since early high school. If it was me, I'd just crack a joke (emphasis on joke there) at the person and then either leave or join in.

This person just had to emphasize the word "cool"...

I have to agree with everyone else. Grow up. So what he plays Magic? You acted as if this is the worst thing he could have possibly done. I think THAT was asking YOU to marry him. FHL.

I don't see a FML here...

Grow up, your not better than anybody just because YOU think it's not cool. Get over yourself.

Your fiance is awesome! MTG kicks ass dude!

oh get over it. my boyfriend plays magic cards too. i make fun of him a little, but in a loving way. i would never actually be ashamed. i even buy him cards sometimes. those random packs because i know nothing about it, but he seems happy. ;D

oh my god not MAGIC CARDS???!!!

Yeah, you're a bitch. Nothing happened to you. At all. So your fiance likes a game you don't happen to like. Get off your high horse and stop judging him for it.

gutted for you

you should have known that by now though, what a failed relationship

Get over it.

Yeah.. my boyfriend plays and I'll admit it's a bit of an obsessive game. I've watched him play and I never have any idea what's going on for even one second, which makes me feel both skeptical and a little impressed.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I can understand the FML on the grounds that it costs quite a bit of money to play (every pack of 15 cards costs $4, and players apparently buy them at regular intervals), which is weird for a card game, and also that it's kind of disturbing to watch the first time since if you haven't played, you have absolutely no idea what's going on. Plus it's very nerdy =P

Personally, I find nerdiness a great quality, but Magic the Gathering is pushing it.

You're marrying the guy and you only just found out what his hobbies are?

Seriously, you deserve that one, not that it's the end of the world or owt!

And what is the problem here? I play MTG, and I'm a woman. You're an idiot. It's not a FML or YDI. It's just you're an idiot. I hope he dumps your brainless ass.

You probably do stuff he thinks is weird, too. Adults respect one another's preferences, you know? Grow up.

Oh chillax. As long as he doesn't gamble on games. LOL. My boyfriend's a gaming nerd, I'm a book nerd, we learned a while ago to respect each other's differences. :9

first, the game's called magic. not magic cards.
second, its actually a good way to pass time if you've got nothin else to do
third, get over it.

Meh. So your fiancé is a nerd. Big deal.

The HORROR!! This guy's certainly not father material, drop him before your friends find out!

To the husband, F**k your wife, to OP, people are allowed to have hobbies, you bi*ch

so? at least he doesn't do heroin. maybe he didn't tell you that he plays until now because he was afraid of getting exactly that type of reaction.

So he plays magic, big deal. not only is this NOT a fml, but you're a close minded person for thinking that playing magic actually is a problem. My question to you is, have you ever tried playing magic? I doubt it, you're just talking shit because you aren't open to new things, or ideas... Your fiance should kick your ass to the curb, lady. Nerds are the new super heroes. We make the money, we make the fun, we're loyal. If you don't like it, go marry a meat head whose going to cheat on you.

Magic cards ARE cool.

And something else...
you are marrying this guy and you didn't even know he plays magic?
how long do you know him?
a week?

FYL for being such a bitch.

There are many reasons this is better than poker. Firstly, it's a lot more involved and fun, the cards are actually worth money, it's not gambling and if those don't float your boat consider this. It could be worse. They could have been playing the Pokemon cardgame.

So it's not the "coolest" hobby -- big deal. If anyone should be nonjudgmental of his interests, it's the woman he's marrying. It's just something he does, not some major character flaw. Superficial things like this aren't going to matter in the long run.

Oh, and I'm a girl. Finding a nice guy you're compatible with is hard. You did, so focus on that instead.

you should totally dump him and find a guy that's more interested in "manly" things like watching porn and going to strip clubs...yeah your life is fucked if you think this is horrible

Every guy has some hobby that he doesn't want his gf to find out about.

DON'T HATE ON US!

Oh, well God forbid he has a hobby.

Magic: The Gathering is awesome...You're just an idiot.

Playing Magic Cards is so much cooler than beating up random people in bars or doing absolutely nothing....you'd prefer if he went to strip joints instead?!

Ummm....why are you engaged to someone that you don't even know minor details like that about them?? Are you crazy??? You deserved that shit.

LOL. And so?!

Okay seriously why is this here? It's not a bad thing at all. People like you annoy me, there is nothing wrong with enjoying things like that.

wow this FML is lame

Wow, bitch.

"Ohh my fiance plays magic cards my life is horrible wahhhh"

STFU and grow up. People have hobbies, you should be glad his isn't other woman. Because he can certainly do much better than you.

If you didn't know your fiance played Magic Cards...and have a problem with it...is it truly love? Seriously.

YDI, you married him LOL

Wow.. you're quite something, aren't you? Playing Magic the Gathering (I'm fairly sure you can't remember its name, thus "Magic Cards"..) is indeed quite fun, and fuck his life for having you...

dun see the problem... Adults do play Magic Cards and it is pretty ok... just like many do play DOTA... same thing... strategy game... YDI TOTALLY

I hope he can find a better person in his life than you.

Wow. That's even worse than if they were having sex with each other.

Not even a FML, and if you consider this to be a FML, get over yourself.

My boyfriend plays that and I still love him a lot...guys have different hobbies sometimes...

*sigh* not gonna rant, but its not as bad as you think it is. Just give it a try and then when all is said and done if you dont like it leave it alone. Like many people said before me, could be a heck of a lot worse.

my husband played magic cards when he was a kid. He just sold all the "rare" ones for over $200, and he still has a lot left.

When I found out my 28 year old boyfriend of 2 years revitalized his love for the magic cards.... I can't say that I was overjoyed. Especially when I found out how expensive those damn cards are! I completely understand the frustration that comes with dating an all around awesome guy who just unfortunately cant shake an addiction for some lame ass gay wizard shit.

At least he's playing with actual people and having real social interactions.... rather than playing online.

Also, just because you are thrilled that your boyfriend and his friends play a card game where they fantasize about being magical creatures and man-fairies doesn't mean your a super bitch.

lmao. at #6.

Wow really? So you think someone is a bad person because they play magic?
Shallow.

You should probably get to know your man before you plan to marry him. What's wrong with MTG? It is also better than poker in any way imaginable. You're just shallow. If I were your husband I would definitely trade up to someone who can accept me for who I am entirely. My fiance plays magic with all his friends and I just hold on to him and watch and try to pick out cards that are useful for his deck. Be happy he was letting you join in on his life and be a part of who he is. He opened himself to you, you don't deserve that. Go date an abusive workaholic. Your man needs a real woman.

Well, you're kind of a judgmental idiot aren't you? FHL, he can do better. (He's probably smarter too.)
You like poker. Maybe you're a gambling addicted stripper. Oh I'm sorry, am I making assumptions?

You should accept your fiance for who he is maybe he doesn't like the fact that you would post about how disgusted you are by him for having a hobby.... you are heartless and your fiance should leave you.

this was picked as a FML because suddenly FML is very popular and filled with morons.

Ha your fiance is a dork... and you are shallow ... ha

How can you be engaged to somebody and not know their hobbies?

Wow, you kind of disgust me. If that's the way you feel, then your fiance (who obviously has much cooler hobbies than you) needs to find himself someone new.

I love all the magic fan boys in here getting defensive.
However I do agree with most of them in that you're being a bitch.
I hope you get fat.

Magic is Ill McNasty. Your fiancee should be dating some awesome nerd chick, not your judgmental ass.

what's so bad about that?
my friend's ex bf did magic tricks with cards, and it was so much fun. he was awesome.
id love to marry someone who could entertain me with a pack of cards =D

#16 you win. :) seriously, grow the fuck up. i hope he finds someone who can accept him for who he is.

maybe he would have told you before if you weren't such a bitch

wow you are a bitch. I'm 26, female, pretty hot and play magic the gathering.

#9 makes a very good point.

You're probably just jealous that he should discard you and not unearth you if his life depended on it.

shallow bitch

you're pathetic you need to grow up!!

You remind me of the person that complained about their boyfriend playing Pokemon.

You're both judgmental and annoying.

If you really love your fiance, then you shouldn't be bitching about his hobbies on the internet. If you don't really love your fiance, you shouldn't be marrying him.

I'm putting YDI because this isn't an FML and you're an idiot.

Quit whining. He doesn't bitch and moan when you cry over losing your fake coach bag.

Damn, you're really looking for sympathy for THAT? So he has a hobby. You make it sound like it's the most embarrassing thing in the world.

Didn't you hear? Geeks are cool now, loser.

This comment has been moderated.

Oh yes, i see the FML here, you have just realized your a egotistic jerk who is embarrassed to be seen around her soon-to-be husband because he plays magic cards.
It all makes sense now.

So?

lol

magic. what a nerdy hobby.

I have to agree with #122 though.

Learn something about the game - and them before deciding this is so bad. As long as your fiance is "normal besides that" the game isn't a geek's obsession that people lose themselves in. I used to play it with friends and we liked how there was so much strategy and complexity in it, and sure the dragons and whatever were fun but that part is for the fun of imagining something going on besides "pair of 6's". It's just a fun game as long as it doesn't take over your life.

Magic is like the awsomest game ever man. NOT

I think this is one of the first FML's where absolutely 100% of the comments are on one side.

as for my comment:

just take all 141 comments before me and combine them into one, and that's what i have to say about it.

I smell a divorce soon.....

ooooookay, it's your FIANCE and you didn't know that? I'd say it your fiance who should be saying FML if his future wife didn't know he plays Magic.

Magic is cool you figgle.

wow, way to be a bitch

My ex-boyfriend liked stuff like anime, which many would consider in the same geekdom league as MTG. I *tried* to take an interest in it and his friends. But nope, he didn't want me around. At least he cares enough to involve you in the sillier aspects of his life, rather than saying you're basically not wanted there. Get your nose out of your compact, and live a little. :P

And I say YDI because its ur fiance.. u should've known that he plays magic cards! What happened to trying to get to know a person completely before you get engaged to them?.. duh!

Wow, that's like incredibly bitchy.

Like OMG, next thing you know hell like want an input on stuff at home too.

You like totally failed to get yourself a meat head

What's really pathetic is Magic is, as others have said, FAR more complex than poker, and takes a lot of thought. Plus, many of the individuals who have won millions of dollars in magic tournaments? Started out from Poker. So, I'm sorry that YOU just haven't matured enough past poker and broadened your horizons. Besides, you SHOULD know this about your fiance already. Plus? Magic is an awesome game. End of story.

I had pretty much the same reaction when I found out my friends played the game. It's expected from those who know nothing about the game, such as myself. I wasn't aware of the skill level involved, so I deemed it "just another dumb card thing for kids", and put it out of my mind. But if he's happy playing it, then it's not really a big deal. I don't see how anyone can fault you for your initial reaction, especially since if they were in your shoes theirs would most likely be the same. Just accept the game and chalk it up to something interesting and unusual that makes you two different in your marriage. :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't vote "YAC" for "You're A Cunt."

I made an account, just so I could tell you off. Bitch.

I was going to click YDI, since your life is incredibly far from being fucked. But you don't deserve to have a fiance that seems to be a pretty good person from what I've gathered here. Get over yourself. He likes to play a game that requires intellect. You should count your blessings that it's not like other actual FML's here like that lady that had to cancel a $200,000 wedding and send relatives back across the county and world because her fiance actually did something bad and cheated on her. Hopefully for his sake, you grow up, mature, and become less of a superficial bitch.

My boyfriend plays everything D&D to warhammer. i find nothing wrong with it at all... it get him out of my hair for awhile.

and i personal wouldn't give them the time of day, but whatever makes him happy makes me happy.

Pff. So dump him, if you find his interests so revolting. Do me a favor, give him my number. Tell him you know a girl who loves a man with a good MTG deck. A girl who would love him for who he is instead of freaking out because he doesn't mindlessly capitulate to the mainstream conception of "cool."

I LOL'd at this. What a closeminded, idiotic trull. I've never been a fan of MAGIC or it's ilk, but, christ on a cross with lead weights on his nuts lady. Go watch Oprah and eat your bon-bons.

My boyfriend plays those. It'll only be a problem when he tries to teach you how to play when you're in the hospital on copious amounts of Vicodin.

Some of the most attractive, interesting people I know -- complete antitheses of a stereotypical nerd -- play Magic, including my boyfriend. I think it's cute, even endearing.

FHL for being engaged to such an uncaring bitch that she would freak out over a hobby.

To agree with leafling...my friends that play magic are pretty damn good-lookin' haha. Just shows that magic is a game for everyone, not just "nerds."

I really don't see the problem here. As a girl, if my fiance played Magic, I'd probably just drag him into the nearest closet and do him right there!

you're a close-minded bitch. I hope he NEVER goes anywhere you want to go.

Yeah, F your fiance's L. Magic can be a money sink, but poker is the most boring damn game in the world. Way to respect his interests that he tries to involve you in, also. He should drop you like a rock.

This is pretty close-minded..
I play everything with my fiance from World of Warcraft to Gears of War because we're both gamer types, but I'd never played Magic until he first took me to hang out with his friends. I had more fun than I'd had in a very long time learning to play. Maybe you should give it a shot. It's fun, and the guys he plays with aren't a bunch of lepers. Most of them are probably pretty normal.

This is so stupid I want to think it's just a troll. It's got to be, right? No one could be this obnoxious and self-absorbed. Riiight!?

how did you get engaged to someone without finding out they played magic cards till now?
maybe you can try it out and see if you like playing as well

Agreed with pretty much everyone else.

#114 - Sigh... I guess you're the same as the OP. Didn't you bother reading the 113 comments before your own post to find out exactly what people were thinking before going "ZOMG, it's teh crappiest game in teh wrld!1!1!oneone" It's a hobby! Get over it! And seriously... 'he plays with real people rather than on-line'? The people on-line aren't real?

I used to play Magic... heck, I still have my three full decks from two years ago, and if I find a group in my area, I'd definitely enjoy picking the game back up... it is way better than doing a whole lot of other things. And it's definitely no different from someone else building model airplanes for example. I don't cheat, I don't lie and I most certainly don't steal, do drugs or drink alcohol and I never ever judge someone because of what they do. (And yes, I do play on-line games every now and then too, and I have plenty of 'fake on-line friends') Heck, I've had girlfriends with much stranger hobbies than playing games or whatever... and even though the hobby was something that I considered weird on so many levels (Like actually performing magic rituals and thinking you're a vampire and what-not), I tried to understand it and if it wasn't to my tastes, at least I didn't complain about it.

To the OP... are you pregnant? Because that would certainly explain getting married before knowing what your fiance likes to do in his free time. Still, try the game, learn a bit about it... then go saying how f-ed your life is. Poker takes roughly five minutes to learn... Magic... you'd need at least a few hours before you understand all the rules... need I say more?

What's wrong with him playing Magic? My boyfriend and his friends play every Friday night. And I'd rather him play that then gamble his money away. You should learn to be more accepting of your fiance's hobbies since you're going to marry him :P

Why do people automatically assume that people will be playing poker when ever cards are mentioned these days? Poker isn't even good tbh. Pretty simplistic and boring game really. Uka ftw.

YDI for being engaged to a 15-year-old.

How rude. He probably doesn't like your hobbies either but at least he seems to appreciate you.

i would play magic over poker any day, and magic IS COOL. Everyone i know plays and none of them have broken taped glasses, greasy hair, or are unfashionable.

btw i just made an account to let you know how retarded you are

He should play a MAN'S game, like Yu-Gi-Oh!. :P

im thinking there were other signs than this and that this is definitely your fault. well done not realizing hes a nerd, then you prolly are too

So that's all you care about now? My bf plays DnD weekly. So I went, saw what it was about, and am having him teach me. And that's not all you should look at, even if you don't like it. My bf also watches & plays sports, plays poker, etc. Hobbies are just one facet of a person. The fact that your boyfriend can play a more complex game like that shows his intelligence. It's a way to unwind and hang out with your friends, just like your "approved" game of poker. Also, guys who are slightly nerdy tend to be sensitive, attentive, and sweet. You lucked out, so stop complaining. I agree with the above - F HIS life for being with someone who doesn't seem to want to accept him for who he is.

So what? If you're going to marry him, shouldn't you accept him no matter what his hobbies are? And shouldn't you have known about his hobbies before you agreed to marry him?

For one thing Magic is definitely not more complex than poker. I played Magic all throughout High School and I've been playing poker in casinos since then. Magic is definitely more fun and relaxing but as far as skill is concerned try playing real poker games; not nickel and dime shit in your friend's basement.

The OP needs to chill. If something like Magic is going to completely throw you off what're you going to do when something that's worth freaking out about happens?

the issue here is you. how are you engaged to someone you clearly know nothing about. if you didnt know what games he plays then you have to wonder what else you dont know about him.....

The fact that you did not even know that he played that game disturbs me. That's usually something that magic players talk about pretty frequently

Fuck number four I hate the prep stereo type I go to prep school it's not like that at all it's really diverse and playing magic would probably be much more accepted there than in public schools it's much more open minded to different cultures and forms of life and living in a dorm with kids from all over the world is an amazing experience, while getting some of the best education there is and they're not all rich not at all even the international students they offer a tremendous amount of financial aid, I have a friend who is the son if teachers at my last school and now he boards at a different one and prep school teachers make less than regular ones.... I do know the people you are talking about though and some of them tend to suck but are a different class from other preppy kids.... I think the woman on here is just having a laugh about it, but yeah you should be open minded, especially to your fiancé

I don't know what Magic Cards are, but you seem like a pompous ass. FAIL.

so...?

i agree with #3.

Look at the nerds come out in droves to demean this girl because she doesn't like a hobby of her fiance's... if you all were secure with yourselves you wouldn't feel the need to attack her on such a personal level

I came in here thinking I'd be reading different comments.

Guess I won't have to feel embarrassed now when I say I used to play the Star Wars version of these cards.

Let me guess, you're one of those bitches who thinks games and anything nerdy is a waste of time, right?

I'm a girl, and I happen to love those games and I still do well at school, my job, and in my social life. As long as he does the same, why do you care about what card games he plays? And why is poker acceptable while Magic isn't? Last time I checked, people still got addicted to poker and gambled large amounts of money away on it. Shame on you for judging your fiancee. I hope he realizes what a bitch you are and dumps your ass.

I hope your fiance leaves you

I play magic with my husband all the time.
Try being less ignorant and close minded.

Agrees wholeheartedly with #129 and enjoyed the grixis joke :)
This is why my boyfriend's card shop owner told him that he was so lucky to find a girl that liked Magic and was hot.
FML really needs to have better criteria for what IS and what IS NOT worthy of being on here.
This is far from being an FML and I feel so sorry for your fiance that he has to put up with you. Even if you can't play Magic you can have a ball just watching people play. Whenever my boyfriend goes to the big matches on Friday nights, there is almost the same amount of people there watching the game that have no idea how to play just hanging out and encouraging the ones that are playing. I would much rather know that he was there than to be dating someone who spends his Friday nights with his friends at the bar, getting himself shot up, smoking weed until he's out, or street racing. Hopefully your fiance will soon see how much of a bitch you are and end it soon with you so someone that actually deserves him has a chance.

ITs better than playing poker, atleast he isnt gambling

#118, 158 ftw.

That being said, FHL for being engaged to someone who can't accept him for who he is.

It's a damn hobby, get over it. Maybe you should try and include yourself instead of shunning him. There was probably a reason you had to be "invited."

My boyfriend used to be into DND and all that other stuff and I find nothing wrong with it. He's more into video games like Call of Duty and Halo and what not now and honestly, I wasn't into it at first but then I gave it a shot and love it. It might not be my cup of tea but it's fun, plus we get to spend time together.

Get over yourself and stop being so shallow.

Everyone else who said it is right - if you care so much then go dump him and find a meat-headed, no-brained, sports-obsessed jock to cheat on you. Since that's what's "cool" right?

And for the record, my boyfriend is a nerd at heart but obsessed with football. I get the best of both worlds. Maybe you should find out what else he is interested in, and then maybe you'll find he's a lot "cooler" than you think.

You sound like a stuck up prep. I'd rather play Magic Cards (I haven't before) than hang out with someone like you.

If you're already past dating and are to the point that you're engaged, you really shouldn't give a FUCK what card games he likes to play! If you care that much then it just goes to show how superficial your relationship is. I hope he dumps your bitchass.

#188 hypocrit much? Stfu kthx. OP. Why are u complaining? So what? He plays a card game! He could have the hobby of compulsive masturbation, or sleeping with strippers. Maybe you would rather he was going to transvestite night with his buddies instead? Gtfoi. There are way worse things he could be doing. IE: looking for a non bitch gf.

I'm in agreement with #3.
And #16 FTW!!!

I use my 11/11 indestructible Darksteel Colossus to bitch slap your ass for being a pompus bitch.

You are a bitch!

haha its funny how many nerds there are on fml, magic cards are for herbs and nerds, SO LAME!

My fiance and his friends play Dungeons and Dragons, and that's one of the things I love about him. I hope he realizes he can do much better.

#200! LOLZ!

And im sure he doesnt like your hobbies like getting a mani/pedi or shopping. Be grateful that you have a man who isnt doing heroin, going to strip clubs or cheating on you. Inconsiderate douche.

Oh my GOD, are you serious, he plays MAGIC THE GATHERING? Hot damn I have never heard of anything so terrible and lame. If you're having any kind of second thoughts, I completely understand. That's right up there with, I dunno, playing video games or some crazy shit like that. You poor thing, maybe you should reconsider this marriage, since apparently you haven't bothered to learn a goddamn thing about him and you can't accept his quirks that don't fit into your perfectly painted picture. Why did you even get engaged? Do you even know his name? YDI for being a stuck-up bitch.

If this is the 'WORST' thing your fiancee does, you are a lot better off than most women out there who are...y'know, verbally abused by their boyfriends, taken advantage of, etc. But no, YOUR fiancee plays MAGIC. My fiancee is also a gamer, and while I don't usually sit down and play with him, I accept it. While he's playing, I usually go find something else to do. At least he invites you places and wants to include you in his life. Do your fiancee a favor and break it off with him so he can go find someone who appreciates him.

Don't marry him then, bitch.

My fiancee introduced me to Magic when we first started dating seven years ago, and, although a little confused at first, I caught on to it and I really like the game now. You can build a deck from scratch (I have one that is based on making a giant squirrel army) and the possibilities are endless. A lot of his friends play too, so we host tournament nights just for fun. It is a great way to get to know his friends, although I get a lot of double takes for being a girl that likes Magic, and he doesn't have to choose between hanging out with me and kicking it with his guy friends so much. In my humble opinion, nerdy guys are the BEST guys; they're smart, loyal, and have excellent senses of humor. Please don't dump him over Magic, he's probably a sweetheart!

Hahaha, thats pretty sad if he still plays magic cards. I'm sorry the stuff we play in grade school and high school isn't as cool when you get into your mid to late twenties. I CAST A SPELL OF UNENDING NERDINESS UPON YOU! I bet he collects pokemon cards too.

wow, please consider suicide as a remedy to your problem

Magic cards are still around?! I used to play it 14 years ago and it was awesome! Tobad most people were to stupid to understand the game, and English.
Hope he leaves you because he deserves someone better.

ur a bitch..u should love him for who he is cuz ur like umm engaged to him..weather he plays magic cards or poker..if it aint ur thing then dont get involved in it..but if ur so damn shallow ur mad becuz he does..then u need to just break it off..

Wow. I agree with about 95% of the comments on this one.

OP: I'm really surprised you think this is FML worthy. I also think it's kind of sad that you're engaged to the poor guy and didn't know his hobbies. But, then, I usually try to find that stuff out about people before we ever even start dating. XD

Seriously, though, your fiance being a "nerd" is hardly the end of the world.
Of course, that being said...I'm a "nerd" and want a great guy I can share all my "nerdy" hobbies with. So, if you guys do call it quits... ^_^

On another note, don't you think that if you're going to marry him you need to know a bit more about him? That's part of the whole growing up bit. As is accepting someone for who they are, as they accept you for who you are.

I am surprised you didn't know he did this before you got engaged...most people who play magic are pretty open about the fact that they play, and doesn't he disappear for entire evenings to play magic with his friends, or did you just think they were having guys night?

That being said, I don't find the OP to be a bitch, or a snob. Not at all. Some people aren't into things like Magic, Dungeons and Dragons, or WOW. I'm not. If I date a guy who plays we just don't discuss it because it doesn't interest me. Everyone has hobbies...I wouldn't be dating someone who is obsessed with it, but considering she didn't even know until now and they're engaged obviously he's not.

The majority of people on here are correct, who gives a damn if it's "cool" or not. He is having fun, and obviously if you are getting married to him and didn't know until this point, he doesn't flaunt it. Get over it, you're the one that isn't "cool".

I suddenly suspect 95% of the people who read FMyLife also play Magic.

It's...very VERY childish...but...if he plays Magic, then he plays Magic. Just let him get over it. It might be a while but he will probably lose interest.

Good grief i had to make an account to comment to that, I'm a gamer and so forth with table top pc and MTG, you aren't my ex by any chance are you??? because you fucking well sounded like her then when she found out my hobbies, grow up get a life and then find something really bad to bitch about and make us laugh, if not then fuck off, MTG as with all strat games require a certain amount of skill and a fair amount of tactics and understanding of such to play much more than poker, and to the comment about poker being more skillful, i play both and i'll take MTG anyday of the week, so yeah FHL not yours, he should dump your arse on the street if your not my ex

I must add:
-#156 = Epic win!

-I don't get into D&D, Magic, WoW, Warhammer, etc., but I love that my fiance has those hobbies and gives him something today. His bookshelf is full of D&D and Warhammer books. He and his friends play Warhammer every Thursday night, and I offered our new home to be the new playspace when we move it. Get over yourself and accept him for who he is. I'm sure he accepts you for who you are and accepts all the little things about you he doesn't understand.

-Would you like me to mail you a copy of "A Girl's Guide to Dating a Geek"?

The fact that your fiance was playing magic cards bothered you enough to write this is ridiculous. Get a job.

Ps. How did this even get on the site??

you fail because #25 is a 13 yr old girl and she's more mature than u!

SO
#1 i do smell me a troll here.
#2 if there isnt a troll here then OP definatly looks like a troll thats insecure and will look to everyone elses opinion of what to be until she shrivels up and dies of not being loved enough because of her knowledge of whats "in".
#3 an hero now kthnxbye

This comment has been moderated.

I just realized I am not cool, because I play RPG card games FML. I don't see what the big deal is, Magic is fun. Plus my friends still sit around and play Pokemon cards with my ten year old brother. It's not the end of the world that someone decides they like to play a card game, but the big deal seems to be that you instantly tense up about anything that makes you fiance different that your image of him. I would suggest a long engagement or finding someone with the same shallow notions as you. If you love him you should have known about him liking Magic before hand. Also, one: if you haven't noticed maybe he just got invited in to the game or used to play before you met him and just started up again. Also I had a math tutor in high school who liked Magic the gathering, the man could do complex math problems in his head, had published three books on the subject and played with other forty year old men with careers, healthy marriages, and who weren't nerds per say.

I think you need to rethink your marriage to this man. If you instantly sit down and judge him without thinking about the ramifications of judgment then you have failed to "love him till death do you part." Can you live with these horrible secrets he is keeping. He might have a mistress on WoW or ignore you for that cute elf in his deck. Geez woman, your on Fmylife.com, wouldn't that mean you're juvinille. I don't have a problem with the site, but you seem to think blogging your business (you prob are a tweet) and you fiance could check it out and there is your marriage. Way to blast your shallow business. Dump him and let him find someone who will love him and who will sit down and blog something important like "Hung out with my hubby today, we played Magic the Gathering with his friends and he included me in his life with his friends. I totally hate he waited this long to show me how smart and complex he is. We don't spend enough time together."

I'm going to agree with the whole bunch of other people who in some way or another said that playing the Magic the Gathering is awesome. So stop judging people.

So he plays Magic the Gathering. Is there a problem with that?

Divorce him and let someone who fucking deserves him have him, because you don't with that shitty attitude.

my boyfriend plays magic cards, a little silly i think, but I also think its kind of cute and endearing :)


Good thing you love your boyfriend for who he is without being judgmental :|

Also look who isn't perceptive enough to realize there aren't any poker chips. Reg cards have red or black numbers on them, Magic cards are usually tan with pictures on them. I love how you would prefer to find out that your husband gambles because that is manly than to know your husband likes fantasy and most likely is far smarter than the average guy. I would love to fin someone who plays that game, it usually means they have both complexity and a love of fantasy. I also love how you expected pity. Aw, poor shallow woman who wants a shallow man. Send your man my way, I'd treat him better.

I find it really sad that you are about to marry someone that you obviously haven’t taken the time to learn anything about.

Also, who cares if the person plays Magic the Gathering… everyone had hobbies, everyone likes to play a game of some sort…

You should be more accepting and supportive of someone you are supposed to love, respect and care about.

Sure people aren't being too kind about you not liking something your boyfriend likes, but I think the main thing is she isn't keeping an open mind. I would understand if the FML was "My boyfriend took me to his friends and started playing Magic cards. I thought they were going to play poker and he ignored me and made fun of me for not understanding. FML." That's a FML. Not, oh my boyfriend has a hobby and a life. FY

I agree..FYL! I think that stupid magic game is..well..just that..STUPID. I do agree with the others and hope that you can accept him for who he is, but I hope he grows up soon!! And no, I'm not an immature snobby teenager, I'm an adult who lives in the REAL world. I think its funny that there are so many nerds on here, and its funny that they are all being hypocritical and judging you by calling you a bitch for judging your fiance. Go ahead people, say I'm a shallow bitch too...I know its coming..good thing I don't give a sh!t!!! hahahahahah!!!!!!!

Keep him you silly cow. Be glad he wanted to include you in the things he finds joy in.

You sound stupid.

OMG MY LIFE IS FUCKED BECAUSE MY FIANCEE PLAYS MAGIC CARDS! FEEL SORRY FOR MEE!

@kez: Magic has over 10000 unique cards, which means during the course of a game, there are far more possible combinations than poker could even dream of, and even more than chess. And that's not even including deck construction. If the fiance was playing with friends, as in more than just against one person, that brings in bluffing and social aspects to the game. As for social skills, well you and the OP are both dating Magic players so obviously they had some semblance of skills. And people only laugh at funny jokes, you should try coming up with one, or maybe you are just used to guys with poor social skills laughing at you because you are a girl? Sorry, doesn't work on the internet.

What #4 said.

@idklol, funny, i'm an adult but have gamed as a HOBBY for as long as i can remember, it's a great way for me to unwind and i don't think your a Shallow bitch neither do i think that of the OP i just think she should grow up instead of posting something that shows how narrow minded she truly is, but hey if you can't deal with people having hobbies maybe you should lock yourself up in your house and never come out

I tried to edit my previous post but the time ran out..so here is the new post that I added....

I agree..FYL! I think that stupid magic game is..well..just that..STUPID. I do agree with the others and hope that you can accept him for who he is, but I hope he grows up soon!! And no, I'm not an immature snobby teenager, I'm an adult who lives in the REAL world. I think its funny that there are so many nerds on here, and its funny that they are all being hypocritical and judging you by calling you a bitch for judging your fiance. It's also funny that you guys think MAGIC(Laughing out loud a little, really) is more complex than poker, I've never played, but have had someone explain it to me and like someone said before, if you are playing some real poker, and not the nickel and dime sh!t then you would know poker is much more complex. But the fact that you play magic explains why you wouldn't know that..LOL!!!!! Go ahead people, say I'm a shallow bitch too...I know its coming..good thing I don't give a sh!t!!! hahahahahah!!!!!!!

238: If you've never played, shut your fucking mouth.

asshole.

Your life sucks because your fiance has a hobby you don't like? Get ready for adulthood, lady ... it's about to get a lot worse for you. Most ppl have different hobbies, roll with it. Doesn't mean you have to join him. But don't ridicule him either. It's "for better or worse" ... and if you can't manage that, maybe you should wait until you've grown up a little.

I don't think it's a huge problem unless it takes over his life like any other hobby. How did you not know this about your FIANCE?

lonewolf27... I can deal with people having hobbies...obviously, I said that she should accept him for who he is, If my husband played that, I'd deal with it, but I didn't say I'd like it or that I'd love him any less. If you can't deal with peoples opinions, "maybe you should lock yourself in a house and never come out" I'm using that phrase b/c that's what you said, not b/c I would ever say something like that, I'm not sure you are really an adult as you say you are b/c all the adults I know wouldn't say something that childish. An adult would have said, "Thats your opinion and I respect that, But my opinions differ from yours"

You are dumb on several levels.
1st - You are Judging the person that you plan to spend the rest of your life, and one whom you should support regardless, as i'm sure he does the same for you.
2nd - You post your immature displeasure with him on the internet, and not address it to him, IN PRIVATE.
3rd - This is the internet, its full of nerds, myself included, and yet you say a thing nerds like is a bad thing, on the internet.

i think #202 and the OP should hook up. Clearly they are meant for each other.

@#238 you live in the real world huh? And you want the OP's husband to grow up? I'm interested to know what an "acceptable" hobby is in your opinion. Oh, and you said you never played it? Lol fail. GTFO

@224 before you decide to stereotype all magic players, think about what you're saying. You went to TOURNAMENTS to play magic. So you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Of course the only people there are going to be 26 y/o fat momma's boys with more money than brains, but that's how it is for any card game. I know what you mean, i've gone to a tournament before. And I then realized how dumb it is because of that.

Maybe you shouldn't be so close-minded and realize that the majority of people aren't losers who feel the need to feel superior by playing in competitive tournaments and just play with their friends for fun.

Wish I could think of something to say that 244 people before me haven't already said. Did anyone at all agree with her?

You are a sad little person.

Don't feel bad. My fiance plays Magic too. FML

#224..you are awesome!!

Experience has taught me that for a guy, it all depends on how you introduce your hobbies to your girlfriend. Hobbies that are not wide-spread will look like games at first glance, so you need to explain carefully why it's a game for adults.

I play Airsoft, I paint Warhammers and make sceneries, and I play videogames.

Introducing Warhammer to my girlfriend was easy. She saw the sceneries I made and she could see it was not easy to make those. I insisted on the fact that it was relaxing, and I enjoyed making something with my own hands. Had I just shown her that I was painting little figures, she probably would had thought I was painting toys for kids. You really can't tell the difference between a Warhammer and a toy when you don't know much about it.

Airsoft was not so hard either. I told her I played with many people who were between 25 and 30. I also told her that we were doing as much (if not more) physical exercise than football players, and I also told her about the good parts of the sport: team work, fair play, the fact that physically weak but intelligent people were just as good players as strong people and fast runners...

Lastly, convincing her that video games were not for kids was harder. She pictured video games as the ones she used to play ten years ago (poor graphics...). Then I showed her Fallout 3. It may not be the best video game, but I showed her how you don't just run around and shoot stuff. I explained to her that in this game, even though fighting is unavoidable, there are many other things to do. The ways you can interact with characters, and all the little things that make the game, like hacking computers, picking locks, etc. convinced her that it was too sophisticated for 10 year-olds.
The quality of the graphics also helped, I guess she figured only adults would care so much about nice graphics.

So if OP's boyfriend just told her that Magic was about fighting with monsters, I'm not surprised by her reaction.

FML for your husband. MtG for the win. Hopefully he can go find himself some gorgeous nerdy woman who isnt a shallow bitch :D

My boyfriend plays magic cards too !! Its horrible he doesnt call me or doesnt want me to call him till 2am

The only problem I see here is that you're a narrow-minded bigot!

Wait, let me get this straight. Your fiance invited you over because he wanted to spend time with you and share one of his hobbies. But you're so disgusted because his hobby is "uncool." Seriously?

You must be a very flexible lady, you know...because it isn't easy to bend and kiss your own ass the way that you do.

Magic: The Gathering is awesome, but that's beside the point. I find it awful that you are acting like a twelve year old and you are supposed to marry this guy. He needs the "Your life is fuc*(*d vote"

#245...Just b/c I haven't played doesn't mean I don't know how its played (unfortunately) I have seen it played and had it explained to me in depth...I am accepting of any hobbies, If that's what makes you happy then that's what makes you happy, But since this is the comment section, I was giving my opinion. and my opinion is right b/c its my opinion, your opinion is also right, b/c it is your opinion. that's the beauty of having our own minds!!!

YDI cos... Magic the gathering is not a FML
I'm an adult female who's played it and it was fun. ... I picked up my cards for dirt cheap (someone I knew needed cash and offered me her set for $15).

A year later when I moved I sold them off for $100.


Before throwing your nose up in the air perhaps you should try it.

You must be very young to expect such a high level of perfection in those around you. I hope you set the wedding date out a couple of years. When you get older, you realize that we all have our quirks and differences - if we didn't, life would be very boring.

Magic is cool. At least your fiance wasn't gambling!!!

One of my favorite memories is when hubby and I use to play Go Fish for hours while we hunked down in the living room waiting for a hurricane to hit in South Florida.
If playing magic card is his "worst" quality, consider yourself very lucky.

You're a bitch, aren't you?

Yeah. No use asking. :] Poor guy.

Get over it, I am sorry, but Magic is a very complex game. I don't like playing it but if my Fiance did then great for him. We all have our little hobbies. At least he tried inviting you in and tried to include you. YDI for being a jerk and all "That's not cool" GROW UP

I like Magic Cards, I also work as an Undercover Cop for the police department. Maybe you should realize that people have dualism's in their personality's and grow up.

who doesn't like magic?
seriously, you're an idiot

Wow, really everyone else has hit the nail on the head. I agree with #29, me and my boyfriend are both into all the "uncool" and "dorky" hobbies and thats what attracted us to each other. How can you be willing to marry a man when you dont even know what his interest are? But more importantly like alot of others have said, Magic takes WAY more to play than poker! I was taught how to play poker in 5 mins and still cant completely get Magic after a week.

YDI, time to grow up you self -centered bitch......or better yet HE needs to run in the other direction

@idklol "But the fact that you play magic explains why you wouldn't know that..LOL!!!!! Go ahead people, say I'm a shallow bitch too...I know its coming..good thing I don't give a sh!t!!! hahahahahah!!!!!!!"

So you say you are an adult from the real world?
I'm just a 21 year-old university student from Europe, pleased to meet you.

Man why is everybody hating on this girl. I'm sorry but grown men playing magic cards is just fucking lame. i will agree, though, that being engaged to someone and not knowing his hobbies/interests is also pretty fucking lame. I'm torn on this one.

Wow, your a huge bitch. Maybe instead of complaining about a cool interesting hobby that your fiancee has, you should just go take leap off of a bridge instead?

Tell your fiance to find a nice girl.

Do him a favor and DON'T MARRY HIM, you judgemental bitch.

#267: Why don't people like you, who think it's lame for adults to play Magic, tell us what you think adults should play. I'm sure this would make the whole debate go somewhere.

What other activity do you think is suitable for an adult man? Sitting in the couch in front of the TV?

I don't play Magic by the way, but I don't see what is lame, or why anyone would even care if people play it for that matter.

russianspy1234, I know there are many cards. I still hold fast that it is damn easy to win if you have the money to throw away on expensive cards. That is not a level playing field.

I go out with my boyfriend in SPITE of his magic card addiction - I have even played him and gone to events to support him. I buy him cards if he wants them. The game still sucks and is for children or those who haven't grown up. Then I guess non magic playing people with ovaries are not allowed to have an opinion or try and crack jokes about stupid children’s card games.

Keep your sexism to yourself and don't stay indoors playing MTG all your life - there are actual things to do outside and actual people to speak to!!!! Much Love XX

whatever. magic is the shit. you're probably too dumb to play it.

I was semi-dating this girl recently and I've always been very open about my interests with her. She knew I play video games a lot and she knew I was deeply into comics and she always acted is if she didn't care and she was always really into me. Then one night, she drunk texts me and tells me that I'm 23 and that I need to grow up.

All I could say was, "WTF?"

On a bright note...this made me bond with my Magic Man...you might have improved my relationship.

Who cares!? Accept him for who he is or don't marry him! It's not like he goes out getting hammered every night and hits on strange women! My boyfriend majors in University as a Video game developer and plays WWII board game and plays dungeons and dragons. I snowboard and like shoes.. opposite spectrum but I still think it's awesome that he has a hobby that he loves and gives him time to get out of the house and hang out with his friends.

And just why is a grown man playing magic cards lame? Because you think it is? Seriously, everyone has their hobbies and Magic the Gathering is a perfectly acceptable hobby. It's NO DIFFERENT than the poker nerds out there who are obsessed with it. Seriously, EVERYBODY is nerdy about something, be it poker, cars, sports, or even Magic the Gathering. So please get over yourself.

um, what is wrong with magic? maybe you should quit being a judgemental bitch??

and the problem is....?

#272: Didn't russianspy1234 tell you that tournaments and playing at home are two different things? Your boyfriend is an addict, not an average player, so don't use his case to judge average players. Average players don't spend 100$ on a single card, they just buy a few packs of cards and play at home. No tournaments, just fun. Big difference.

We nerds shall take over the world someday. just you wait!

I think people have already berated you enough for being shallow. Now, I agree with them, but something else jumps out at me here. How is it that you've agreed to marry this guy, yet you didn't even know that he played Magic? Are you really that oblivious?

Okay, you're engaged to the guy and you only JUST found out he plays magic?

1. If you know that little about your fiance, it's time to reconsider marrying him.
2. If his playing a card game is an FML for you, also time to reconsider.

Don't hate on the magic cards. I hear they're pretty awesome lol. By the way, just think of it as a little..... cute? thing that your future husband enjoys? I mean, I'm sure you do things that he finds.... weird.....

EL OH EL at geeks ranting about how fun magic cards is

Um...nothing wrong with that. Just bring a book next time.

I was about to sexism/stupidism r4g3 before I saw nearly every post is FOR MTG lol.

@#144:

It's not "lame ass gay wizard shit" and most guys that play don't fantasize about being magical creatures or man-fairies. You've clearly never played. Enjoying playing a strategy game with your friends doesn't constitute addiction to MTG.

And to the writer of the FML:

Some of the best guys I've dated have been MTG nerds. It's a card game that takes strategy and a lot of thought to build decks of cards and set up combos of them. From a girl who knows little about the game to another, you don't have to learn to play to share it with him. The artwork on the cards is actually usually pretty great and you can just ask questions. I'm sure he'd be happy to explain to you, and accepting that he plays is only going to make you closer. It's not like it's a drug addiction that you have to accept. It's likely that he's a smart guy if he plays MTG, and that's probably one of the reasons you liked him in the first place. Get over the stereotypes; you're going to marry him for god's sake.

#280 he goes to tournaments and pre release tournaments which cost around £5 to enter. He is not spending $100 on cards, that is not what I said. At those tournaments the people who win usually have paid a pretty large sum of money for their decks - or borrowed expesive cards. He doesn't care about winning, just playing - that is a very special quality.

My point is if you want to be GOOD at magic, you spend a fortune on cards to build a deck. Don't tell fibs to yourself. It just is not worth it.

My boyfriend and I play Magic cards all the time. o: It's part of what makes our relationship fun.

You should try it some time.

Wow, just because your fiance has a strange or different hobby you call an "FML"? That's ridiculous. Everyone has something they enjoy that isn't exactly normal. You need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

I love Magic cards :(

I rarely bother to post a second comment, but I think #238 deserves it.

Let me tell you a story. The story of someone who apparently needs to 'grow up' in your point of view. When I was 11 years old, I was still playing with my friends outdoors, enjoying pretty much anything... heck, including climbing trees and such. One time, I fell off a tree, resulting in a herniated disc. I never paid much mind to it though and continued to go about things as I usually did, playing sports (Not watching, because I don't see the point there) and enjoying life... even joined my country's military. Eventually, while playing basketball with others, I got bumped by someone who was twice my size and ended up hitting my back rather badly... big shocker, I couldn't move my legs afterward. Two surgeries and one year of rehab later, I still feel pain in my leg when I walk for longer than five minutes. So please tell me exactly what I should do as an adult male to have fun? I can't go out to clubs due to my condition, I can't play sports and I don't enjoy watching sports. In the mean-time, I have plenty of hobbies which you would consider immature, but eh... what can I do.

I read books, I watch movies, though lately about 80% of the movies that do come out are crap.... plus going to a cinema really isn't all that great for me with the uncomfortable seats there. Books get boring after a while, and I've read more than my fair share so far, so... again I ask what should I do? Sit at home and stare blankly at a wall? Does that hold a ton of entertainment value? Does that mean being a grown-up? Maybe go and watch football? Once again, that is definitely not something I enjoy doing. It's boring, and I don't see why people get all excited about who won or who lost.

So yes, playing Magic, D&D (Insert random video game name here) is something that I find to be fun... I get to spend time with friends, we do something together while socializing and we make less noise than a bunch of people sitting in front of the TV, watching a sports game... or getting drunk to oblivion then jumping in their cars just so they can have the pleasure of putting someone in a wheel-chair or six feet under.

Feel free to go ahead and call me immature, see if I care. Ha... ha... ha...

I'm sure everything you like is awesome and TOTALLY COOL.


FIRST OF ALL, get to know a guy better before you get engaged to him.

SECOND, stop being so goddamn judgmental.

you suck. magic cards are awesome.
bitch.

You're totally right. He should have been playin the Star Trek ccg by Decipher. What a loser. I hope he watches American Idol with you, too. I'm sure you are the coolest person ever.

The fact that you didn't know this about him until know makes me feel like it ISN'T a large part of his life anyway, so I don't even understand what's wrong with a guy nerd-ing out once in a while. I might not ever watch America's Next Top Model, but that doesn't mean I disrespect the women who do.

i agree with alot of what people are sayiong and idklol i'll apologise i could have worded it better, i got a bit snappish as it's currently 3 am here and i haven't slept for a few days due to a massive dose of the flu on top of a head cold FML (lol), but yes the average player has a couple of decks and plays at home, i'm a gamer and in my area i have a few mates i game with not mtg but ww2 and ancients table top, my new gf even though she may not be real happy i play (a game can easily last a day +, in fact i've been playing the same game for the past 3 weekends running.... is that an FML) but she understands it is my hobby just as she has a few hobbies i don't understand (like shopping....and the sims) but yes every one is entitlesd to their own opinion and i'll jst ask you to give it a go if after a couple of rounds you still don't like it then thats fine, i invited my better half to play last weekend and as i said beforew she wasn't real keen but she still has a go, now she's nagging me and my mates to continue for this weekend (hmmm it is an FML lol i just realised we've still got 10 thousand minitures on the table), please don't dismiss anything out of hand before actually sitting down and tryning it. and before you ask, yes i have been shopping with my gf, it was 3 hours of being dragged through clothing stores anbd being used as a pack mule right up until we got to the lingerie (spelling) shop

I agree with #3, #9, and #10. And you are a superficial bitch. haha. I feel bad for your fiance. Please give him my apologies that he's engaged to you. I love how playing that makes us losers yet, like others have said, it takes so much more brain power than poker. If you think you're life is f***** because of that, you have a pretty good one. You're husband is the one that has the effed life if he's marrying you. Sorry, but it's true. =]

wow. arsehole. get the fuck over it.

Uhhh I TOTALLY feel for the OP here...It sucks finding out the guy you're planning on marrying is an undercover DORK....FYL...

oh and one more thing....REAL men don't play "MAGIC" anything!!!! thank you.

Magic is amazing. You don't deserve him.

I'm sure your hobbies are exclusively the coolest. At least he has friends and something to do in his free time.

this is not ok.

#2, #3, and #9 win. Get over it, or find a new guy.

lololol! youre an idiot. if you are so obsessed with being cool, then maybe you are too immature to be getting married. obviously, you shouldnt be, if something like cards with pictures on them make you freak out. personally, i cant play Magic, because its too complicated, but i can play several different games of poker. so pass your extremely intelligent husband on to someone else, and find yourself a football player.

lololol! youre an idiot. if you are so obsessed with being cool, then maybe you are too immature to be getting married. obviously, you shouldnt be, if something like cards with pictures on them make you freak out. personally, i cant play Magic, because its too complicated, but i can play several different games of poker. so pass your extremely intelligent husband on to someone else, and find yourself a football player.

I wonder why you are engaged and not know this about him. It is your own fault for not knowing the person you are going to marry.

...So?

My fiance plays MTG, too! And I play with him. c:

Maybe if you understood the game you wouldn't find it so abhorrent...?

#224 - There's a big difference between a boyfriend who goes to conferences and one who plays the game on occasion for fun. So what if he has a nerdy side? Obviously, if it's that big of a deal, then she shouldn't marry him. And it DOES make her superficial. While some D&D conference goers and the like are the stereotypes you described, there are plenty of geeky guys who aren't like that. I think YOU should get off your high-horse, too. It's a fun game for some people. Who cares?

#238 - While I do think people are being pretty harsh with judging her, the fact of the matter is he plays a nerdy game recreationally. So what? How is it hurting anyone? People are complaining because of her reaction to it. It's nerdy, yes. Is it altering his life in any way? I would guess probably not.

Yes, if he wastes all his time/money playing nerdy games, then I would say it's a problem. But as it stands now - it seems like the poster is judging what might be (and really is) a fun, quirky card game. Get over it.

Oh my, 301. What is a real man to you? Someone who sits and watches sports constantly? Someone who is always out at the club drinking? Please. I've dated both of those types and one hit me and they both cheated on me. A real man is someone who cares about others and treats people nicely no matter what his hobbies are. Incase you haven't heard, more women are going for dorks, geeks, and nerds because they make better boyfriends, husbands, etc.

Plus, just because he plays Magic or any of the other mentioned games that doesn't make him a hardcore nerd. My fiance plays D&D, WoW, and Warhammer. He also watches hockey and football. We go to the movies. We enjoy camping. We just came back from Las Vegas and are planning on a cruise for next year. Just like anyone else, mine (and probably the OP's) fiance has a wide range of interests. Back off and quit judging. My fiance (and once again, probably the OP's) never once judged me because I carry Coach bags, spend way too much time shopping, enjoy way too many dramatic TV shows and don't really read, so why should people with his interests be judged?

I'm sure anyone who took the OP's side doesn't enjoy being called shallow or a bitch, so why are you making fun of a guy for playing Magic?

Eww, sorry to hear that. But I think you probably should have learned more about him before getting engaged...

I do hope he dumped you. He deserves someone who won't judge him just because of a hobby he has and a game he enjoys.

... You know what? Send him my way. I'd love him more than you ever could. Because I'm only a judgemental bitch where it counts.

I have to say to the people that are saying that money is all there is to winning magic, is thats crap. I agree that money helps a lot, but it's definitly not nessesary. In the time that i've been playing magic(like 3 years) i've spent less than $150 maybe more but not much and i've won numerous tournaments. My brother used to spend like half his paycheck a week on cards and has never won a tournament before and hes been to a lot more than i have. Also 150 bucks in like 3 years is a whole lot cheaper than going on a shopping spree every couple of weeks or months. and thats a hobby that you have to spend a lot of money to be good at, fashion. I don't see how people can say something about spending a few bucks on some cards when there are people that refuse to pay less than 50 bucks on one article of clothing or they think it's not worth it. and i got to say those cards are gonna get a lot more use out of them than that pair of pants or jacket.

ROFL at the 315+ comments...the internet is the WRONG place to post a hardline anti-MTG platform.

#301 are you implying that Dwight Howard is not a man????

#312 is my heroine

#314- only a judgmental bitch where it counts? i like that!

Bitch, die in a fire.

OP, here's a general hint to being in love with a nerdy dude: if you show an interest in his interests, even if it's usually not your style, it makes him feel amazing and special that you would try something like that for/with him.

Shouldn't you know the things your fiance likes or does in his spare time? And so what? He has a little dork in him... That doesn't make him a bad guy. And it obviously isn't something he prioritizes if you haven't heard of it until now.

Get over yourself... You don't have to be into everything he is, but you don't have to have such a bad attitude about it.

Dont judge ^^;


i dont see why ppl flip out over a stupid little game



he doesnt bitch you out for the things you do


leave the man alone =\




btw, Magic is the shit =) been playing for 8 years and still going! =O

Hey, me and my boyfriend make it a point to get together with friends every Sunday night and play Magic. It's a great way to de-stress and it's an awesome feeling when I'm kicking their asses, since I'm usually the only girl there. :)

#224- I've played MTG, VS, and UFS tournaments and there's always smelly dudes.

When I did go to tournaments, I always thought it was awesome that there were girlfriends even wives to support their boyfriend/husband.

:)

I love Magic The Gathering, honestly it takes more skill then poker, and makes me think! So leave the guy alone, I can't believe you think it's an FML for doing something different then what other people do. FHL for having such a terrible fiance.

Wow, you're a pretty close-minded, judgmental sort of woman, aren't you? Like so many others before me, I grant this FML to your husband, for actually giving you the benefit of the doubt and being repayed this way.

Why exactly is this a problem? And you're having some issues if you're just finding this out about your fiance.

There's nothing wrong with having a guy that's a nerd or has a little nerd in him. I think it's kind of sexy(haha my nerd fetish)...

I am in the same boat...my boyfriend thinks about Magic NON-STOP! I learned to play for him....but I still honeslty do not see the point. But as long as it makes him happy....right?

My boyfriend and I met each other through Magic The Gathering, and we got to know each other through him tutoring me and helping me build decks. It's a fun game, despite being a little out of style. Why not give it a shot? At least he doesn't play Yu-Gi-Oh.

#43 - perfect. do this 'loser' a favor and break off the engagement. Too bad he doesn't know you well enough to know that you belittle minor issues. What will be your reaction if something actually important comes up? Selfishness is not a pretty trait. You are ugly. You're not in love, you're in lust. That will pass and then you'll have the rest of your lives together. No, you'll divorce him within two years.

Wow, you must really think he's a nerd, huh?
Hope he breaks up with you and finds a girl who's accepting of his hobbies.

wow so many uneducated worthless Internet dwelling hosehounds it's not even funny. Magic the gathering is and has been a great way for people of all ages to come together to do something out of the norm. It seems like the only people bitching here are the whorebag "better than everyone" lame fucks.

I bet 99% of u don't know that people can actually make $200,000+ a year playing this "need game". So yah say whatever u wanna say about it. While u are scraping pennies for a toyota and a trailer I'll keep playing a "nerd game" and maybe one day u will realize what a bunch of putzes u are.

i agree with #2. i don't see the problem here either

@ 18 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=magic+cards

lol wow thats alot of hate for the original poster so ima say something supportive.... but i cant think of anything so gfu

#54- I agree. I doubt she's going to stop loving or respecting him, she's just poking fun because he's into elves and shit. Most of my boyfriends have had some form of nerdy hobby so I wouldn't find it too weird personally but I can understand why she does.

Hello, Shallow.

really....if you love him why does it matter?

Well, sounds like you two should probably not be engaged for several reasons

1. you had no idea about a hobby of his, probably should get to know the guy better before walking down the isle

2. your response to discovering his hobby is immature and it doesnt exactly sound like youre ready for marriage

3. youre judgmental as all hell, you need to learn to lighten up or you will never be in healthy relationship with your partner. Why are you so shocked and upset by him playing Magic? Is it because you are embarrassed of his hobby? If you cant embrace them even for their weird or quirky hobbies, then you will never be able to fully embrace them as a person and a lover

You know, I can see your concern. Although I do not agree with it I understand how this seems to FYL.
Talking to the commenters: I would be more dissapointed in the majority of people who passed this as an FML. You know, the people who vote on your story which you know is good but youstill get rejected because it is similar to someone elses story, or because there might be a spelling error. Something stupid like that.

#336 'respecting' him?

I really don't think that posting an FML about this is showing any form of 'respect' what-so-ever, and as for the 'loving' I repeat my comment of; you are engaged and you are just finding out about this? Really? Wow.

My suggestion to the poster is to go find some other person just as stuck up as you so they can complain about your asinine traits and you can see how it feels.

I hope your fiance path to exiles you and summons a hot, open-minded girlfriend.

You won't be complaining one day if your man actually starts playing Magic professionally and wins thousands of dollars. Some dumb hobby at that point, right?

There really needs to be a third FML option - "Go F yourself"

What 339 and so many more said.
Seriously, DTMFA. 'Cause more nerdy shit is gonna come up, and you'll still flip out about it.
You'll be doing him a favor, really.

I think the most important question here is..

1. How long have you known this man?

Magic The Gathering is a hobby.. Do you really know this person? If you would have dated longer I'm sure you would have approached this topic in casual conversation. I'm sure you would know a lot more about him if you haven't gotten engaged so quickly.. or perhaps if you actually payed attention to him..

Instead of criticizing him, why don't you try to play it yourself with him? I'm pretty sure he'd be really happy and excited that you are willing to do something he likes with him.. You know what they say, the family that plays together, stays together.

You probably shouldn't marry him if you're going to judge him based on interests you don't agree with.

Eh, to each their own. Just cuz he likes to play "magic cards" doesn't mean you have to like it or be involved, but you gotta respect his interests. Not worth a FML. Although I gotta agree with some of these other people; if you're marrying him you should think to find out about this sort of thing beforehand.

btw, totally agree with whoever said there needs to be a F___ Yourself option xD

Sounds like he's geared up for a lucrative career in mathematics, engineering, programming, chemistry, or physics. And you're complaining? Learn the game, you'll probably have a good time with it. And it's better than being with a guy who is totally obsessed with watching sports.

How do you think he feels? His fiancee bitches about something as irrelevant as the games he plays in his free time. You're going to be one of those controlling TV sitcom wives, and he's going to be one of those miserable TV sitcom husbands with a drinking problem.

Break up now--he'll appreciate it later when he isn't listening to you whine throughout your marriage.

so what? i play poker, magic and i even play pokemon and my girlfriend accepts me for who i am. if you really love your fiance you should accept him for who he is, regardless of his interests.

what the hell are you complaining about? who cares?! maybe you should rethink this engagement if you can't accept that he plays a "nerdy" card game. get over it and move on.

wow Magic's an FML these days?
I think what needs to be said has been said, read the comments lady
wow... hope ur fiance gets smart and finds sumbody worth his time

#341- Yes, I meant what I said. It's my opinion that you can have a laugh with someone about stuff like this and still love and respect them. I don't think love is about knowing every little detail about someone so I personally don't think it's that big of a deal to have not known about one hobby.

Really? You're engaged to him and are just finding out now he plays MTG? And you're screaming and whining about it like a twelve-year-old little girl?

Jesus H. Christ. This could be an all-time flop FML in days.

i like how 95% of the comments are in the "YDI" category, and yet only about 60% of the actual vote is that way

hmmm

Your Fiance deserves better than you if you're going to be a judgmental prick.

you're close to marrying him and you didn't realize he did that crap...try to get to know you're freaking boyfriend before jumping into marriage
YDI

Leave him so he won't have to be tied down to you

WOW! I hope he dumps you!

I agree with #2 & #3. He should NOT have to suffer marriage with YOU!

I'm sure OP has far more normal hobbies, like shopping.

If it is that big of a deal maybe you should find yourself a tool-bag that only does 'cool' things.

as long as he's hot :p haha
seriously though, how is that an "fml"

Wow, I hope he reads this and the comments.

I have no idea wtf magic cards is but it sounds like his only escape from you.

Wow, people on here need to CHILL!! I really don't blame the OP at all for having a reaction like that...I mean if her fiance never told her about it and just said they were going to play some cards with friends, who's NOT going to expect something like poker? And it's not like she said she now wants to dump him or anything, she obviously just doesn't enjoy the fantasy-world kind of thing--like A LOT of people! So seriously, NOT a bitch move if she just doesn't find that stuff cool. OP: As long as he's a good guy and the game doesn't take over his life, I'd say just laugh it off and leave your fiance to his hobby while you do something you like.

Okay, sure Magic cards were fun and cool right up until the day I turned 11 and realized it was the same as Pokemon and other childish role-playing. In college, one of the corners of the cafeteria is always completely occupied by a dozen or two of the social misfits at my school who just play their Magic cards. Honestly, if he's one of those people who plays Magic and talks about video games all day, thinks anime is somehow entertaining, loves Johnny Depp (sorry, they love Capt. Jack because they think he's real and going to marry them someday...), think they're all half-vampires and wish Edward (also fictional, c'mon people) would come and *bite* them, smells funny and has no concept of social interactions; then, by all means, write FMLs all day. (If you flame me for THAT, you know you're one of them)

However, if he's just a normal guy with normal habits, playing Magic here and there is by no means terrible. We all have our guilty pleasures, some are just lamer than others. :p

I would also write an FML if that was the first I heard of it, but if you're engaged you'd think this would be out in the open already...

shut up, you annoy me

Your fiance is AWESOME!!! No, really, he is!

I hate people like you.

#365 - I could understand saying, "That's really not my cup of tea, so if you don't mind I'll go do whatever while you guys play", but "They thought it was COOL! My fiance plays MAGIC CARDS! FML!"? See how the two are very far from each-other? Read the two statements, replace the second with something you enjoy doing, see how you react to either, then come back and advocate for the OP again.

There's something wrong with Magic? Oh no, where has my life gone. -_-;

Seriously? Get over it.

I agree with 182 and part of 238. Poker is a lot more complex than the general population knows. Sure you can learn the rules of the game in 10 minutes, but it'll take you a really long time to learn the complex strategy required to be a winning player. It's unfortunate that the general population love to watch noname players get lucky and win big in tournaments. They don't know about cash game poker where the skill edge is much bigger and the big fish on the table is easy to detect.

I'm honestly pissed that this site would even accept this horse shit.

Ugh OP you're a lame cunt. Your husband is pretty awesome and so are his friends. About you, on the other hand...

I feel bad for your husband to be marrying a dipshit like you. FML because he plays Magic? Jesus, give me a break.

So? He has a hobby. What's wrong with playing MTG?


And you're just a judgmental, shallow bitch. Get over it.

so does my boyfriend..

And you're complaining.......why?
Nerds are the best type of guy there is.

There are a few things that need to be said here.

First, the comparsion of Magic to Poker is skewed. While MtG is many times more complex it just does not have the popularity and we will get to this in a minute. Poker on the other hand is very easy to learn hence why so many scrubs choose to play it at casinos. Sure there are different winning situations and odds come into play but with only 52 cards in a deck you only have so many possibilities. Magic on the other hand has at least 60 cards in a deck and you can play with as many as you want. Sure you can say that bluffing is essential to poker but in competitive magic you need to be able to do the same thing. If you really want to get an idea of how smart some magic players are look at Dave Williams (http://www.davidwilliamspoker.com/bio.htm) he started with MtG but realizing that he could make more money with Poker he switched. He still stays involved with the game and was seen at the World Championships of MtG last year. You may have seen him before on ESPN in the World Series of Poker. If you doubt the complexity of Magic you have never played a deck called TEPS or MENSA. That will blow your mind much more than wondering what cards might pop up on the river that could bring you down.

Secondly, I do play Magic and have done so both casually and competively. I also do a lot of other things. I've gone on multiple ski trips this past year, I go out with friends to bars and sporting events. I'm a diehard Steelers and Penguins fan. I play in my spare time and I have hidden the fact that I play from friends and from girls because of people like #342. I don't view MtG as a fantasy game and I could care less what the cards are called or the art on the cards. I see it as a strategy game where I have to not only out-think my opponent during the game but also had to do so before we even sat down due to deckbuilding.

Lastly, just because my friends and I play does not mean that we don't shower. We all have respectable jobs that require good personal hygiene. If you were to see me on the street or at a sporting event you would have no idea. It is like someone said above, people do have dualisms. I hide the fact because of stereotypes. When people find out that I play they immeadiately associate it with Renaissance Fairs and Dungeons and Dragons. I have never been a part of either of those. So I like to use my brain. Go ahead make fun of me for it.

To the OP: Sure, you may not find it fun or attractive but ask him why he enjoys it then form your opinion.

really, i don't play magic but everyone i know does. you really need to try new things

My boyfriend plays Magic. A LOT! He has started teaching my how to play. How the hell do you not know that someone you are going to marry plays Magic?!?!?!?!?!?

Perhaps you should try to find out about someone's interests BEFORE you get engaged to them.

So, let me get this straight. You're engaged to this man, yet you clearly know nothing about him....and when you find something out, you disapprove. Magic is an incredibly complex game, and providing you have a good group of people to play with, very challenging and fun. Sure there's some ubernerds who tarnish it for others, but that goes for any hobby.

So the fuck what, your fiance has a hobby most people consider uncool. What a great person you are.

Why does it matter? Everyone has their interests. If you think having a fiance who likes Magic the Gathering is FML worthy, you should check yourself. Are you that superficial?

Sweetie, give yourself a reality check. Last I checked, nerds are cool now. Get over yourself. If you're not big enough to let this go, find another man and let him find someone more worth his time.

Magic is an incredibly complex game. I haven't met someone who I consider unintelligent to be able to learn the basic gameplay, let alone the deep strategies and combos people can pull off. I play it more as a hobby now, but I was heavily into it.

I also partake in the following activities...drumming, playing in a band, landscaping, mountain biking, car stereos, hanging out with friends, going to concerts....yeah, your fiancee is a terribly huge nerd you self absorbed bitch..*roll eye*

Really...its a good game. If you'd actually take the time to try and learn it, you'd discover that. Woot to all my fellow MTG players here! Long live the Selesyna Conclave!

I fail to see the issue?
Clearly it's not even a big part of his life if you didn't know he played and you two are engaged

Poor guy. I would hope my fiance accepted me no matter what I do because they love me. What a b*tch.

sigh i hate people like you. You cant enjoy something unless it fits into your little box of whats "cool". grow the fuck up and realize everyone is a fucking geek. Whether its a sport, video games, tv, or fucking flower decorating everyone has their thing.

I'm with #3 on this. I'm sure you have things that you enjoy that embarrass him just as much, so stop whining :P

@#342



nawww man, Swords to Plowshare



so he can bitch that bitch a Life =O


and @389

Dimir is better =P

...so...whats the problem? then again i'm the kinda girl guys love...i have 2 inuyasha starter decks sitting in my closet...

i play it because its fun, but i learned to play it when i was like 8, so i grew up with it. and magic isn't just for geeks and nerds, no one would ever call me that without me punching them in the face lol

You are a terrible person.

The hell is wrong with Magic? Seriously, unless he's uber gross, jobless, living in his mother's basement and smells strongly of BO and rarely washes his clothing. . .what's the frigging problem?

Christ.

He's your fiancee but you don't know his hobbies? YDI. Hardcore.

I think his life is more fucked, since he's engaged to a close-minded bitch.

hey I play magic, and it's a respectable game!

don't be bashin' or my wyrms will get you!!!

I know there's a stigma some people have about dorky things, but that stigma is kind of dying recently, especially with alot of "normal" people finding some dorky things fun (ex they play video games, they see movies like Star Trek and Transformers) Dorky things are, well, popular now.

And seriously if you have been with your fiance for a while, and he hasn't played Magic in front of you yet, then obviously it does not look like he's a very serious player so what's the big problem? My boyfriend plays magic, and he's really good at it, and I'm proud of him for it. The only time it's a problem is when he plays it at a diner with friends and they ignore everyone else, then it becomes a little to much... but it seems like that is not the case here. I wouldn't say you are a bitch, but it would be nice to be a little more open with your fiance's hobbies :)

lol at #400, and seriously, what the fuck is wrong with magic? big fucking woop he plays, oh well, i give the guy props!

I don't know what magic cards are, but shouldn't you have known this awhile before you got engaged? But all guys have dorky hobbies. And I'm sure to guys all girls have dorky hobbies whether it be reading gossip mags or taking 12 hrs to get your hair done, etc. What's dorky to one isn't dorky to another.

Ok so I don't know what this Magic game is but he's allowed to have hobbies too! Maybe you have some wack kiddie hobby that bothers him. Stop being so judgmental, he was brave enough to share that with you, so stop being a bitch and accept him for who he is.

I feel where you're coming from here. My friends and I play and I honestly don't really like it. It's not a bad game - but generally, it does get kinda geeky.

However, you're engaged to this dude - you fucked yourself. Sorry, babe. Best grab yourself a counterspell deck and jump in.

That fucking sucks...Magic is for losers.

Can someone please explain how this gets on the page and some of the really funny, well-typed ones don't?

fhl for having such a bitchy fiancee. i hope he realizes this before it's too late.

Are you seriously trying to get sympathy from people who use the INTERNET? Most of the people on the internet have no life, and therfore sympathize with your fiance. I laugh at your stupidity.

I think people are being a little harsh here. My boyfriend plays Magic, and I think it's adorable. However, it does get kind of annoying because Magic/D&D are a big part of his life. He ditched me on Valentine's day for a D&D game (now that's a real fml). You're pretty lucky if you JUST found out he plays; Obviously it's not that big of a deal to him.

I play magic cards..................
Just today my friends and I were playing magic cards and making fun of ourselves for being nerds
But I like it D

Hey, can't you make money from winning Magic the Gathering competitions? Hmm, maybe I should pull out the ol' deck. Oh wait, I haven't been getting enough of them to have a good deck and my parents think it's a waste of time especially since my brothers don't play it with me anymore and I can't go anywhere to play it with other people because I don't have a bike and I can't drive! :(
It's really fun, requires a little brain power. You'd like it, if you had a brain to get some of the required brain power from. Don't be such a superficial b*tch. It'd only be an FML if it was an ARRANGED marriage. Don't know where you'd be living, I don't know the countries that do that. But SERIOUSLY unless it's an arranged marriage, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT KNOW HIS HOBBIES?

I'm sorry but this is sad. He should have fired you long ago, woman. It's a card game. Get over it.

Hay now... my husband and I still play magic together its called a HOBBY-Also how the heck do you know that little about your husband to be.

Hey, everyone needs a hobby.

On the bright said, at least her fiance doesn't have to deal with this preppy bitch anymore.

Now I have a few comment options here, let me list them out:

1. you're an asshole, it's one tiny thing about him that YOU don't like, and you're whining about it.
2. I bet there are things about you that he probably doesn't like, but has he dumped you yet?
3. Obvious troll is obvious.

Wow, it's a shame you're engaged to this guy. You'd probably be happier with somebody else, like the high school football team captain of yesteryear who now works as a janitor at that school and comes home drunk most nights and slaps you around if you get mouthy, or the wunderkind corporate executive who will buy you a nice car and house you in a 3-story, 3-car-garage McMansion until you turn 40, then divorce you for a 20-year-old version of yourself who he's been sleeping with for the last two years anyway.
One of those kinds of guys you'd probably find a lot more exciting, and they'd probably be more handsome, and they'll be fun while they last - but you'll wake up at 55 and think, what the hell happened?

Marrying someone means you accept the good AND the bad (the side you dislike). Besides...is playing a silly card game that bad? He probably meant KOOL as in FUN. I would have loved it if my dad would have played card games with me =( Just think about it, if you have kids, they might REALLY LIKE that side of their dad XP

YDI if you didn't want to play it. :/

Honestly, just judging from the way you wrote this, you sound like you're in middle or high school. "and they thought that was COOL! oh my GOD he plays MAGIC CARDS!?!?!!11!!1!" Really? Grow up before you rush into marriage, please.

Um, sounds like you haven't been together long enough to be engaged. If you didn't know he played Magic, then you don't know him at all. Magic players make it known.

#129, um marry me? xD

Sounds like someone's a bitch who can't accept the kind of card games her fiance plays.

At least he isn't getting drunk and throwing money at prostitutes.

whats wrong with that?

magic is the shiett.

Ok, so you are ashamed that your fiance has something he enjoys? Why the fuck does it matter that he plays a game that is kind of nerdy, I bet you are one of the women who watches TLC and thinks they are very fashionable and in style. For fucks sake did you meet this guy in a dark alley and not know who he is and happened to have a wedding ring on you? If you are planning on getting married I suggest you learn a little more about your fiance and maybe think about how shallow and immature you really are. Lets be honest here, will this hobby have any effect on your life married at all? So what if he isn't as cool as the guy with aviators, leather jacket, and smoking a cigarette in the corner of a bar. You would probably be happier with a goat you shallow waste of a space bitch.

omg. he has a quirk.
call off the wedding!

The funniest part of all this is all the comments saying things like "stooped cunt shud growe da fuck up, so imeture...". If you can't string your thoughts together in properly (or at least satisfactorily) structured sentences and must stoop to such a philistine vocabulary, then perhaps telling someone else to grow up is a bit hypocritical.

You can't realistically call her a troll either... how was she supposed to know fmylife.com was home to the largest Magic Card fan club on the internet? I highly doubt her intention was to arouse so much hatred. When you start bashing her with the filth I see in these comments and with totally baseless accusations, then you are, once again, being a hypocrite.

Maybe this is just one of her pet peeves..? It personally really bugs me when people wear pajama pants to school or just in public, but I bet some of you think it's fine. Honestly, many of you are just supremely juvenile for turning a simple opinion into open conflict, just because she thinks your favourite past-time is pathetic (trust me, she's not alone). Get over it; and, while your at it, get over the fact that vampires don't exist and Edward isn't about to sweep you off your feet and bite you...

In addition, Magic may be more complicated than poker, but it doesn't make it more intelligent. I'm not going to cast a vote either way, but I think poker is far more subtle than a simple card game; as James Bond says in Casino Royale "[poker] is about playing the hand of the man across from you". It's more about reading people than the cards.

I just realized how long that turned out... now none of you, with your 6 line attention spans, are even going to read this.

OMFG what's the big deal?? Stop complaining! There's probably a bunch of quirks you don't know about! My bf jumps off walls with raindeer antlers yelling "I CAN FLY!!" and I love him for it!

God stop your bitching and post an ACTUAL FML!!

I think DISing the game is stupid, because in itself, it's a pretty complex game. HOWEVER as someone who's had to sit there, bored out of her skull for 2-6 hours while her guys played Magic- on more than one occasion- I can understand the FML aspect. If you and your boys want to play Magic that long then don't invite us to come along, because ten to one we're ot going to get hot and bothered and want to bone you from watching you play.No, instead we're going to want to shove your deck up your butt, card by unprotected card, for wasting those hours of our life.

if it's your fiance's hobby to play Magic Cards then let him be.. just be happy that your fiance doesn't leave your ass for being such a bitch.

I agree with 9. These gamer card games (or just gamer board/table games) are FAR MORE COMPLEX than just poker. It involves a lot of skill usually and a lot of logic. If you'd taken the time to see this, which I doubt you did since you seem disgusted by it, you'd apreciate and be suprised by his ability to even remember the endless amout of rules they have and if he wins, even bigger kudos to him. I hope he finds someone who knows how complex those are and likes him for him.

and 429, I agree with you mostly. Mainly the PJ thing. I HATE that.

1. I completely agree with #52.
2. Magic is a quite interesting game, and it's really fun to watch people play, even if you don't understand it.
3. I know this has been said, but I will restate it. Be more open minded. If everyone was as close minded as you, no one would meet anyone else.

They THINK it's cool because it is.

who cares? to reiterate, stop being such a bitch

FLOP!!!!!

Oh Noez.
He's your fiance. Let him do what he wants.

Wow... you sound pretty damn judgemental... If I were your fiancée, I would Swords to Plowshare your ass... wait that sounds dirty in a good way...

Whatever... I second #90: At least its not Pokemon. Now if he was disappearing on weekends, and staying out late 3-4 days of the week, and then you find out he hasn't been working or cheating on you or drinking with buddies -- that he has been sneaking off to play FNM, then you may have a small, yet semi-valid point.

As a magic card, I think you would be powerful and bitchy, but shallow and not long lasting:

Card Name: Judgmental Bitch, Allie

Pow/Tou: 5/1
Card Text: In addition to paying the casting cost, you must dish out shit-tons of money and an engagemet ring to play this bitch. If you do not, counter Judgmental Bitch, Allie. She only wants your money.
Trample
Vanishing 2
When Judgemental Bitch comes into play, you are now engaged. Discard all of your dreams. And two cards.
When Judgemental Bitch leaves play, you are a bachelor. Burn the card. Draw cards until you find a hot, kinky gaming chick. Reveal it and put it into your hand. Remove all other cards drawn this way from the game. Enjoy your life. Hellz yea.

Flavor Text: "In the end, we all get what is coming for us. Karma is the real bitch."
Artist: Me, dammit.
Rarity: Unique, thankfully.

I enjoy MTG... so what if I'm a nerd? If you have a problem with that, I say go stick a Horned Sliver up your arse.

#438
You're shooting your own cause in the foot with comments like that.
Just sayin'...

Really, you are upset because he plays Magic the Gathering? Oh yeah, FUCK YOUR LIFE! Because nothing is worse than being a bit nerdy right? Just be thankful he actually tried to include you in his life.

You got upset over your fiance's hobby that requires tactical thinking and experienced knowledge? Wow, fuck YOUR life for being a shallow superficial bitch. I suggest you break off the engagement now since it's clear that if you can't even stand something as simple as a CARD GAME, you're not going to be able to put up with him for the rest of your life.

It's MAGIC THE GATHERING. If you're going to hate on something, you should, at the very least, call it by its proper name. You can call it Magic the Gathering or just Magic. Magic Cards are for card tricks.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said Judgmental or Superficial bitch...Seriously though, having never played Magic, I'm not going into the magic vs poker thing, but I'm saying, that if you don't know he plays yet, you have nothing to worry about, because he clearly isn't obsessive about it. Stuff like this is fine, as long as it doesn't control your life. Besides, who decides what's "not cool" any way?

I think mostly everyone here have already spoken what I was going to say so I don't think there's anything for me to add onto ;) I love Magic... I just got back into it and it's still really fun.

how do you not know that he like something like that. no wonder the divorce rate is so high in this country!

You picked the wrong medium to complain about magic the gathering. You realize that this is the internet, right? Most of the people here are nerds.

Also, you are a stuck up jerk.

#438 OMG I love you!

#422 awww:-D

OP.

To further my description, I play Magic, I love Nintendo, I role play a vampire in World of Darkness and I go to conventions. On top of this I love sports (yay football...YAY BRUINS!), I camp, fish and have other interests.

Now, I'm not very self confident....but just based on those first few I KNOW I can get more guys than you after all, "The geeks get the girl"
