I'm an OG(Old Gangster) comic and anime nerd and both in comic stores and video shops(back in the day), I've been given THE TEST...
"Oh, you watch anime with your kids?"
"No. I don't have kids."
"So with your boyfriend?"
"No. I'm single."
"Would you like to watch anime with me?"
"No thank you. I have friends I can watch it with."
When it came to the comic shop, some guy had the nerve to ask me if I really was into comics and not only did I recite, verbatim, the Green Lantern mantra to him, but mentioned what I've been reading when he was in diapers(I don't look my age). He backed away.
