He sounds like a perfectly normal insecure young man.  The one's who shout loudest about girls are usually the least succesful.  I get loads of grief at work from colleagues who do not understand the hobby at all, but let's be honest it is the same with most hobbies.  I cannot understand the obsession some have with fishing.  I just appreciate that they like it and leave it there.  I would try and find out if this colleague has any other interests beside girls, whenever he laughs at you for your flight simming draw comparisons to his hobby, even if it doesn't work to keep him quiet it will make you feel better if you can get him back some times.

With the old "get a life" routine, are you happy with your life?  If you are the best reply is "Already got one thanks, it's great fun." or something along those lines.  If he really bugs you interupt him with something when he is talking to a pretty girl and start talking to her yourself, you have an interest which girls DO appreciate (Kimber, Stormy and Shorty to name just 3) and if he's into nothing but "girls" he'll lose out in the long run.

simply put, girls are great and all, but lets face it, flying is just so much better:) leads to alot less trouble to

  When you really get down to it, the subject of this thread is about as significant as the complaints about the little pink girlie symbol.
  I guess some people are compelled to complain about any little thing they can find.

Post count shmost count. I don't think it really 'counts' for anything. As has been said, it's the content that matters, but it is amusing (disconcerting?) to see your post count go up and up....!

  OIC..My mistake, didn't mean to offend anyone.
To make it up to everyone, when I reach your country in my RTW misadventures, I will come by your simhouse and simwash your simcar.
WHAT A DEAL!!

Andrew,

My Mrs can't see how I can get the enjoyment that I do out of simming (or the excitement with which I talk about my hopes with regard to real flying), but she still loves me and we still share other things that we both enjoy. Frankly, I can't see how she enjoys some of the things she does either, but that's what makes us all interesting.
If we were all the same, the world would be a crappy place.

As far as young blokes and hobbies and interests are concerned, there will always be people who have to have a go at those who are interested in things they aren't, or don't understand. It's usually the way they build themselves up, by making others seem small to themselves, or to others, even better, if possible.

If you see this bloke talking to a girl, go up to him, ignoring the presence of the girl, acting as though you're a good friend, then ask him if the 'herpes' have cleared up yet!

Believe me, it works.........and he'll leave you alone for good.
