Looking for love in Alderaan places

By not4geeks - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went out on a first date with a cute guy. Turns out we won't be going on a date again because I didn't know the difference between "Star Wars" and "Star Trek." FML

How do you not know the difference? YDI. I'm a girl, and I'd dump you for that. It's proof positive that your interests clash.

hahah that's not a FML that's an FHL (**** his life) he is going to end up w. some1 who goes around wearing princess Leia buns all day

i know a lot of people have said this, but it isn't really an fml when you don't know something like that. i'm a trekkie, and i hate star wars. a lot of fans of one don't like the other. they're also very different. star trek was a tv show, several movies, several books and an extremly complex world. star wars in six movies, hundreds of books, and a "dark side." even if you aren't a trekkie or a "jedi" knowing the difference between yoda and spock and luke and kirk really shouldn't be too hard. also, you shouldn't be fml because, if you have nothing in common, why would you want to go out with him. i mean, i'm a girl, and if my guy didn't know the difference i might not dump him, but i would make sure he knew damn well by the end of the night. it can offend trekkies and "jedi's" when you mistake their love with something else. ps. i hope you went home and learned the difference. you will have to know once in your life.

So the guy throws away a potential relationship over something as stupid as that? What's the world coming too. Who cares about this stuff, it's just entertainment it's not art.

i don't get out much, or ever, i don't watch much t.v or care about space, but even i know that

"Who cares about this stuff, it's just entertainment it's not art." ? Okay. Music isn't art. Poetry isn't art. See how stupid you sound ?

I'm not into either of them and I know the difference. YDI, I would've dumped you too.

I'm quite surprised at the amount of people that are all 'YDI, How could you NOT know?!', wtf? I don't have a clue either, and i'm not particularly bothered. Why is everyone making out like it is highly important general knowledge? So knowing that stuff will make you suddenly a better person or more interesting.. you know what else it will get you? Not laid. Except by that guy. Who is clearly a nerd for being THAT bothered.

#193, so right. So...poster....who the hell cares. You're better off with someone else, lmao.

# 9 - FTW =) Why so many YDI's? Some people just do not like those nerdy movies.
