    We used to just have arcades.

    On the one hand, I bet it’s not all super loud in that booth. On the other, I’d prefer a blacklight-lit neon arcade to the super bright white lights of the mall’s concourse.

      I go to the mall with my wife because we both need dinner together after. Normally I don’t like going into women’s underwear stores/ bed bodyworks or Sephora because if I start wondering, then women look at me like I’m some creeper. At this point I like to go into a fishtank box and play video games.

        I embrace that vibe. Find the freaked out ones and see if I can make em flee the store then go back to the missus like nothing happened

    等你吧 (děng nǐ ba) - (I’ll) wait for you, or (I’m) waiting for you, possibly punning on 吧 as a transliteration of 'bar". So it’s like “the waiting for you bar” or “I’m waiting for you at the bar”.

      Алла, я в бар
      “Alla [common female first name], I’ll be at the bar.” That’s an apocryphal practical joke which I heard from a Russian. It becomes clearer once you start shouting “Alla yav bar!” in an airport.

      Was going to say why doesn’t he stay home, but now there’s the benefit of him accompanying his wife in the less secure areas between mall and car.

        Not saying you’re wrong, but I’m married and I never wear my wedding band unless its a special occasion. I know too many people that lost a finger because of it. My wife doesn’t care and I’m just used to not wearing it. People still seem to figure out that we’re married.

    That’s kind of a dickish way of describing it but yeah, makes sense for any group really to split up and do their own thing in a space like that.

    If I had a wife, I would want to spend more time with her. But, that’s just me. It’s not like I am ever gonna get a gf, let alone a wife.

    Still it’s kinda funny.

        Yes. I understand that. This feels rather weird to me. If you want to play games, it can be done at home. Again, it is just what I think. I am sure, I can be wrong about it too.

      If you had a wife you might find that sometimes you want to do your own things but still kinda be near each other, and that’s okay. It’s lovely to have another person in your life you can share shit with but it’s also lovely to be able to say ‘you like this, I like that, I’ll see you in an hour and a half for dinner and the movie’ or whatever.

      And chin up on the gf front. You might have better luck just finding someone you like spending time with than someone who’s your ‘all and everything’. Like, that latter shit is unsustainable.

      If it’s around the corner from the lingerie store, I’ll use it. Or at least when I was younger. Not sure if igaf now.
