    Quoted from Who-Dey:

    Most women care as much about pinball machines or mechanical things like us men care about purses and other girly things so thats kind of understandable i think. The only thing that really matters is if they are supportive of your pinball hobby because they enjoy seeing something that makes you happy.
    Women are definitely on a different planet than we are when it comes to things that make them happy and things that they do for fun but thats ok. If you happen to find one that loves pinball then consider yourself very lucky, that would be every pin heads dream but it usually isn't a reality. As far as the dumb part goes, i know just as many dumbass guys as i know dumbass women. This world is full of dumbasses, male and female alike.

    My wife loves pinball about as much as me but could careless about fixing them. It's great to have that, but enables me though too. I have to watch it as some future pins and rumored pins I have a golden ticket for.

    Friends think we are weird, but once they start playing, they like our weirdness a lot.

    What's also kind of funny is after some initial conversations with 3 distant friends from high school and our family new car salesman, they sheepishly "came out of the plunger lane" per say and said that they had pinball machines at home that they had inherited from parents and such and that the machines didn't work. I'd offer to buy them at a discount to fix up, but each declined (without discussing a price) and instead inquired on who they could hire to fix them and get them working again.

    As far as in-laws, my 84 year old mother in law comes over every couple of months and plays WOZ for as long as she can remain standing (usually about a half hour or so). My niece in law used to play our first pin 25-30 years ago (she started at about 4 years old). I just recently went on a pinventure to Chicago to get her and her husband a second pin that they hauled home from Michigan to Florida. So … I guess extended family is on-board too. I'm happy for that too.

    LOL, ya … she just had hip replacement surgery last month and the first thing she said to me on the phone was that she hopes that the surgery will allow her to play pinball longer and can't wait to try. Cracked me up. Moments like that makes you feel good about this hobby.
