Collecting old Lego can be the same as collecting stamps or a series of Books or Movies. If you want to collect something and it gives you at the same time some nostalgic feeling then whats better than that?
You can tell you psychotic girlfriend that you're getting your fututre kids toys in advance ^^
(Ididn't mean your GF is psychotic but she does major in psychology... oh whatever! don't take that part seriously okey?! ;))

Nothing wrong with that at all, ofcourse you can never avoid the social stigma of playing with toys so you just keep that shit to yourself, just like you don't go around telling people you beat your dick like he owed you money :p

As for the GF, just smile and nod or if you really hate sex argue away.

This my friend is wrong!!!
Psychology is by all other sciences out there respected. I don't know what you think about psychology but you're most likely thinking therapy the moment you hear about psychology, which is wrong. Psychology is about studying the human mind and body, actually big parts of psychology is Biology (anatomy) and Chemistry (different ways the human body intercats with itself for example what substances are sent from our brain to our arm to make our right hand wave). Then again Psychology also tries to define why and how we do things and during these last decades psychology has really evolved, and don't come and say that DR. Phil or someone else out there giving holidays to people with problmes are psychologists!!!
You're "dr. Phil argument" in any sane humans mind, now that my friend, is Bullshit.

Legos are cool and help tap into that creative building part of the brain that often gets pushed aside because most work is uninspired and repetitive. Also its unhealthy for a her to try to analyze what you do because proper relationships require a good amount of acceptance and trying to dig up reasoning behind what you do will just cause a lot of conflict and resentment.

The Lego sets when I was a kid had things like age 6-12 but now its all 6+ because they realized that your never too old for Legos.

Oh the woes of people who think they're psychologists, or more accurately, oh the woes of friends and family of that person.
Seriously, LEGO fucking owns. It's easily one of the best building tools around and besides, when she sees that fucking awesome spaceship you've been working on, you won't even care about the worrysome looks she gives you, because you'll be so pleased with yourself that you won't even notice.

No. Adults have toys too, they just usually don't call them toys. Tell me what a speedboat or a super expensive sportscar is if not a toy. Let your GF do her psychoanalysis then ask her why she feel so insecure about your collecting toys. Maybe she just has an issue with not letting herself have toys.

1) tell your girlfriend to stop trying to analyze you. Its unethical and she should know that since she is doing her masters.

2) Lego is fucking awesome. Need proof?

yeah they built that from a design from 100 BCE using lego that predicts the placement of celestial bodies with extreme accuracy, meaning it can tell you when the next eclipse is going to occur.

Tell her she has personal issues (insecurities, bad at judging character, therefore trying to compensate with what she learned) for always dragging her study results into her private life, and of course that it's really not that nice to get judged all the time.
(maybe you should say it in a less offensive way, though)

Also, collect what you want to collect, if you have fun with it, and you don't hurt/etc others with it, it's fine.
ALSO: people who still think in "childish"/"adult" terms and their related topics seriously need to grow up : D

Hobbies or forms of entertainment (TV, video games, etc.) shouldn't be age-oriented. For example a lot of the video games I played as a kid like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. have gotten no less fun just because I am older. Hell the so-called kid-oriented TV shows and movies my nephew and niece watch are pretty enjoyable to me. There is no reason that you can't enjoy what you liked as a kid just because you are an adult, perhaps in a world where sometimes we take things too seriously or we work too much we need a little cheer in our lives.

i think you should just not give a flying fuck about what other people think of your "hobby." you enjoy it, so enjoy it, and do not let other people's norms of normal get in the way of it...

here's a motto that you should start living by: "do not care about what other people think of you. they hardly think" (though your girlfriend is a though nut, cos shes a psycologist)

What lego stuff are you buying?
OT-Well I let you know in 4 years time (I'm 24 but I sometimes get tempted to buy one or two toys like Transformers). I don't think it's wrong since there are grown men who are still into Lego.
Months ago the Sun newspaper give out free Lego toys everyday for a week cos this guy was trying to get us to play around and let our imgination run wild when combine it togethers. I only get the mini X-Wing and AT-ST since the others were lame (those current Ninja and Eygpt Legos and others).

Yes it is, terribly old people like you should not be allowed to enjoy the little, simple but fun things in life. I hope they will enforce this by law eventually, but until then...

...I hope you have a lot of fun. <3
