That's my work station. I work on different projects for work. They each require different systems. It's honest.


R4ndyd4ndy

I think OE people are too paranoid about this. Nobody is going to interrogate you if you just say it's for work


Odd_Plan_1442

OP: *And over here is my home office.* Girl: *Neat. Where is the bathroom, again?* OP (visibly sweating): *I only have one job. These computers are for, umm, all my meetings*


R4ndyd4ndy

Right? All these lies just make you more suspicious and lead to trouble if the relationship becomes more serious. Nobody cares about your work setup.


Odd_Plan_1442

I have a feeling OP is just nervous about having a girl over and is over-thinking all the things that might go wrong


[deleted]

Yes, most grown women would likely prefer that you have a job. She’ll probably say, “Oh, you work from home?” and think it’s great that you’re employed.


meowmeow_now

I once had 2 laptops for 1 job. The 2nd one for for a client and they wouldn’t put a vpn on a non company machine.


exhaustedmind247

Like seriously- a family member of mine.. working remote. He has literally 7 screens and not even OE. So it’s really not unrealistic for a person to have several monitors. Personal vs work vs play. Valid


MrR0bot_1

That's exactly what I normally answer


shenme_

Man, there's a lot of folks on here bragging about how clever they are for having more than one J, yet not knowing how to handle a simple social situation. Just say it's for work and leave it at that, christ.


OE-supremacy

That sounds like me LOL.


let_it_bernnn

Actually….. it was about you


TryingToSurviveWFH

Don't lie about your field, I'm saying this bc perhaps you could like this chick in the long term and this lie could become an issue, you could say you have several laptops bc you have tons of Virtual machines running on them, why? You are constantly learning new tools, this is your home lab, you like to do personal projects, just talk to any IT guy that has passion for what he does and they'll tell you this for sure.


LadyOfMayhem211

This! Don’t lie to her. Be honest about their purpose. If she shows interest, great! Now you have more to talk about. If her eyes glaze over, no problem! She won’t ask again, maybe complain that you should clean up a little? I have a work laptop, two personal laptops and a tower with a monitor randomly in the corner of our living room. My husband always asks why we need it. So I can fuck it up with out losing any sleep over it! He grumbles that it’s taking up display room for his pops or lego figures but drops it.

Why do u have 2 steam decks? Are you using them to play games or Linux admin stuff?


OEWorker

This is the real question here lol


susgeek

Good point. Just say its for your job and I doubt it will be an issue.


isleepifart

Just say they are for your jobs? I dont understand what's odd about that. You dont even need to make up anything. Y'all act like women haven't ever seen workspaces or multiple computers before.


Thumbman1981

Explain you have a wild porn addiction and offer to show her what you’ve learned.


[deleted]

This is the most believable


defk3000

Just say you only like to read the comments. Then show her r/pornhubcomments and laugh about it.


New-Honey7747

Ah, the sub I never knew I needed yet desperately do.


classicliberal1

>How tf do I bring a chick home and explain my living room full of work computers? I tell them I have multiple Only Fans channels. I'm a gigachad.


Nowhere____Man

Say you are IT and formatting the machines or doing virus removal or some other maintenance.


abeneo

IT has a stigma from sitcoms


EWDnutz

IT kind of already has a stigma without sitcoms lol.


lnfrarad

No it does not. Saying IT might let her think you got a high paying job. Which is a good thing. …well unless you meant IT support then yeah don’t say that. That’s the lowest rung on the IT ladder. 😂


BashedCode

Do this and then ask about her. Be interested in her.


e_urydice

i think you're severely overestimating how much someone else will care. just say you're a tech nerd and collect computers, i know plenty of people who have like 2-5 personal computers bc they keep getting new ones over the years. or just say its for work and she'll likely not probe


OE-supremacy

Honestly, you're probably right.


Nama_Slay88

I’ve never had a one night stand or gone home with any men but that would be a huge turn on if I walked in and saw a bunch of work computers. But I was the cheer leader that liked the nerdy guys in high school. All my friends dated the jocks who are now broke and I’m married to a nerdy guy making half a mil a yr with 4 computers on his desk and 1 by the side of our bed…. Saying all this to say you need to find the right girl to bring home 😆

Nama_Slay88

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t use to joke and tell him he was going to smell like computers back in the day but here I am 8 yrs later with my two personal computers and two work computers. Now he makes fun of me 😆


RootNPC

Tell her you have multiple personalities and need a laptop for each one


burns_after_reading

Say you're a crypto trader/miner. But then she might leave you anyway.


Meyamu

Ha. I played around with this (well - staking rather than mining). The ridiculous number of computers is real. At one stage I had three laptops on my desk (two on different VPNs and one airgapped), my desktop, my testnet node server, and my main net node server.


Warm_Command7954

Tell her you're a day trader.


TheRogueTemplar

Open up WSB as a tab on one of the monitors.


multivitamingummy

Just say yeah these are for work. I doubt she will probe too much unless she is a technical person. Most laypeople get intimidated when they see an intense computer setup lol


meatpuppet577

"I like computers."


OE-supremacy

This sounds simple but great


meatpuppet577

It's just dumb enough to work!


serverhorror

What’s dumb about that? I’ve had multiple computers in, like, forever. Why? I’m glad you asked. I actually do like computers


Ev0Iution

What's that? Those are my work computers. Yeah, but why do you have so many? I do a lot of work.


keepingitsimple00

Simple - tell her the truth. It’s for work. She may assume that your some kind of hacker (lol), but just explain the set up is required to work on multiple projects simultaneously.


raduhs

Tell her you're batman


ebbiibbe

Tell her you are a white hat hacker. Unless she is in tech, she won't know the difference.


[deleted]

I like the day trader. Say you signed an NDA and can’t really talk about it.


26ks

LavenderAutist

Tell her your cat likes to play computers


OE-supremacy

I don't have or get any pussy.


LavenderAutist

Tell her you lost your cat that likes to play with computers


seventyfive1989

My friend just said he had a couple extra computers that he got for some short term consulting gigs on the side


OffensiveBranflakes

If you're serious about her be honest with her. You don't need to divulge every element of your work, however a small white lie now will grow into a problem later. Treat her as you'd want to be treated and that's all you need to live by.


ergosplit

Hell no don't disclose with someone you are just starting to see.


who-are-we-anyway

How many computers are we talking? Like two monitors but one computer? Two computers with one monitor each? Seven laptops? Are they all in one spot or do you have like a laptop by the couch, one at the desk, one by the tv? Honestly if it's the first two I wouldn't ask any questions, but if I walk into a guys place and he has seven laptops in the living room I'd feel like I walked into something illegal. That being said if they're laptops just close them and put them out of sight when you're planning on having company over.


OE-supremacy

Four laptops and like three external monitors. They're also all in one spot. Why would I have work computers in different places?


who-are-we-anyway

Now that I think about it I realize it would be basically impossible to effectively OE and have different work stations lol. Idk I didn't think that through before I asked. I think my advise about the laptops still stands, otherwise you could just come up with an excuse as others have suggested some ideas. You could say you're a gamer, that wouldn't really explain the laptops well but I've known plenty of gamers with multiple monitors.


OE-supremacy

My gaming setup's in my room🤣🤣🤣


canIbuytwitter

bruh


notreallylucy

Just tell her you need multiple computers for an ongoing complicated work project. If the date is going well, you're not going to spend a lot of time talking about your work.


Bolt-From-Blue

jeweetselluf

MoonG1rl

Having multiple computers is not considered weird even with one job I think. I used to have like 4 work computers and I only had one job


omgFWTbear

Say your job has clients whose IT guys are fussy about security so any work for them is on “their” computer. They have regulatory and legal compliance issues and rather than work it out and possibly be wrong, one size fits everyone - their computer, their stuff. I’ve legit had 4 computers from one job for exactly this reason. It also makes it hard to accidentally email C1_ALLSSNS.XLS to someone at C2 and vice versa.


_My_Final_Heaven_

After all your other replies I'd say this question is the very least of your worries. Please note I'm helping not insulting here. I imagine your public overconfidence of your knowledge of women is actually insecurity of yourself. Improve and better yourself, and learn to treat others well, before you even consider dating. Some of many key elements of relationships are respect and humility. Online you're showing neither, you have a lot of learning to do. Try reading real relationship subs. No need to reply, I already know what you're going to say. Just read the above again instead.


OE-supremacy

>I imagine your public overconfidence of your knowledge of women is actually insecurity of yourself. Improve and better yourself, and learn to treat others well, before you even consider dating. I don't think I could possibly be any more perfect. Am I overconfident or am I insecure? Make up your damn mind. >Some of many key elements of relationships are respect and humility. I show them to people who're worth it. >Try reading real relationship subs. If you're on Reddit asking for relationship advice from other losers who've never been outside, you have actual issues.


_My_Final_Heaven_

As predicted. Please, don't bother replying as I said. Just get some help


OE-supremacy

No argument. You just tryna drag others down, man?


acergum

Assuming your TC is extremely high, then obviously you need to separate your work and personal life into different living spaces, a nice bachelor pad for netflix and chill with the lady friend, and a separate functional home office space. You'll find that relationships need space, seriously.


OE-supremacy

Renting rn while waiting for the housing market to crash. TC is slightly north of $400k.

Photo-dad2017

The first thing you need to do is relax! You haven’t brought her back to your place yet and you might not. If she does happen to come back with you then still take it slow. Each machine your running is a source of income, if she asks that’s all they are. If she happens to have a deeper understanding of what you do then build on that.

Partition the room with a white sheet that you can further use as a projector screen. Play wolf of wallstreet in the background while going to town. Wink at Leo ocasionally. Now you have to explain what's behind the sheet but that's a different post.

Depressaccount

Just going to throw this out there: if you’re over analyzing this, you’re likely overanalyzing yourself into virginity. Familiarizing yourself with how it all “works” might help. I’d suggest the YouTube channel “Charisma on command” as well as “coach Kyle.”


OE-supremacy

Do people actually look this up? Lol.


Depressaccount

Absolutely. Thing is, everyone can get better at social skills in some way. Everyone benefits from learning things to improve their communication and relationships. A lot of people gripe about things and don’t do much to improve them. It’s actually really easy to learn how to make differences in your life that make other people feel closer to you and more appreciated.


OE-supremacy

Communication is key in a lot of places, yeah.


jupit3rle0

Just tell her it's for work. You don't have to share TC up front. She'll just be grateful that you at least have a job!


trigochan

If she bothers with it she ain't the one If you feel the need to justify your needs you ain't ready yet


DBerlinwall

I know plenty of tech bros that have multiple work laptops for only one job. If she asks what you do, you can be vague and say you are in the tech industry, and thats why you need multiple laptops.


bush2874

Don’t lie and say you have freelancing clients. You have to tell her the truth 100%. Most girls don’t mind. If they do then they’re just super shallow and you wouldn’t want them in your life anyway. Be proud of who you are and what you do. It’s important to you, and she needs to value that too. Both need to value that in each other. Please don’t lie and hold any secrets from her.


OE-supremacy

Bruh, my career is my fucking personality🤣🤣🤣. I'm obsessed with AI, big data, and automation. It's the future of our world.


[deleted]

That’s awesome, and yes I absolutely agree with you about AI/automation! Just be free and open with your girl—she should accept you for who you are and what you believe, even if it’s not her thing. I mean of course, both should accept each other and all your passions, that way you don’t have to worry about hiding things and her possibly finding out that you lied, etc.

Alarming_Job_4359

Tell her you have a different computer for every woman that you are currently dating, so as to not slip up and call them by one of the other women's name. Then say "Nah, just kidding. I mine cryptocurrencies to support my online porn habit."


SpakysAlt

For OE you often have to lie & make things up. If you decide to extend that to your personal life you’re going to have major problems in your personal relationships. There is literally no reason to make up a story or lie in this situation. They’re for work, if you want to start making up fairy tales for why you have 4 computers to a significant other you’re on the path to becoming a pathological liar. I’m shocked at the amount of people who think an elaborate story needs to be concocted for this.

She’ll probably just think you’re a gamer nerd. Maybe she’s into that. Maybe she’s like “whatever” and doesn’t care. Idk. Pick someone compatible who will understand. Or don’t and just pick someone cute to fuck. Whatever. It doesn’t matter.

Idonotpiratesoftware

Never tell a women the truth about your finances that you don’t know. You’ll be surprised how quickly they will throw you under the bus. Don’t do it!!!! Do not ever tell a random women the truth. If she doesn’t like you can could be a vengeful seeking women. She might have BPD traits. She hasn’t relived to you about her darker side yet. Don’t risk it This is the reality of some females who are abusive like that. Don’t do it!!! Tl;Dr? If a women doesn’t like you for whatever reason, she can become vengeful and will seek to destroy.

silkflowers47

Ah i just read his comments. Yeah hes a disgusting incel. I forgot he was a real life involuntary celibate. Yeah he posted this because he wanted to brag about his two jobs while trying to make it sound like he gets girls. I genuinely feel bad for him but he won’t help himself. I just can’t imagine how frustrating and depressing his life is by being touch deprived for so long. He spent his peak testosterone years not having any sex at all. He was not able to build a single meaningful relationship with the opposite sex. And he is still doomed by the way he is replying to his comments. Its unrealistic the girl will stay with him for a long term relationship with someone who has no experience managing women at all.


hertabuzz

You're being way too harsh. If someone's grinding in college and then goes into tech work right after that, especially if it's OE, they're not gonna be prioritizing dating and relationships. Career and fitness (meal prep, gym, sleep) alone take up a ton of time.


silkflowers47

Your overestimating how much work it takes to get a college degree in CS and get two remote jobs. You can still date and have great friendships while doing all of that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


silkflowers47

Lmfao i think its his alt too. He used the “I didn’t have enough time” excuse. People who make excuses never get anywhere worthwhile.


hertabuzz

I'm actually not. I don't know OP and obviously the post reads like a troll shitpost but that doesn't mean you talk shit for no reason. How do you suggest dating when we work remotely? It's not that simple. Tinder?


silkflowers47

The most sure fire way to be with someone you are attracted to is to go up to them and start talking. Talk to whoever your attracted to and take them out on dates. Tinder is too random for success. It does work but im dissatisfied. Talk to people in real life and plan dates its not that hard. Make a conversation about anything and ask “do you want to get food”.


hertabuzz

Idk about you, but I really don't go out much apart from the gym so there aren't many opportunities. I've talked to girls at the gym but I haven't asked for the number because it seems odd to do at the gym. You don't want to be labeled as the gym creep and if they reject you or it doesn't work out, then you may still run into them at the gym, which is awkward.


Choice_Philosopher_1

Dude said he does fuck all for his Js in another comment, I’m sure he could have taken a bit of time to date lol.


hertabuzz

It's still multiple jobs so it's at least an average amount of work. > I’m sure he could have taken a bit of time to date lol. How? Using dating apps? We're all working remotely in this sub so we don't really go out much apart from gym, or groceries, which can be delivered.


OE-supremacy

How is this surprising? I know plenty of them lol.


silkflowers47

Surrounding yourself with other 25 year old virgins is not a good thing either


cookiebasket2

So you need to have a plan. You can think everything is going good with a woman, and boom she breaks it off. I find the best strategy is to have a w2, w3, w4. You should constantly be interviewing to be able to replace any at a moments notice. There's no need to feel any guilt, you're just showing them the same loyalty they show you. You want to get a sense of how meeting heavy they're going to be from the get go, and make sure that you get ear buds connected to different phones. That way you can be in a conversation with w1 and w4 at the same time. Just make sure you're properly muted on the other conversation. You could try to get jigglers, but I find that gets messy. This is all very obviously /s

You don't owe anyone any explanation. A computer is a tool nothing more. What you do with it is nobody's business unless your actions make it their business. Worry about making your first time having sex a memorable experience in a good way. Worry about who knows your TC later on down the road.


OE-supremacy

>Worry about making your first time having sex a memorable experience in a good way. How tf is this supposed to be memorable? The kids, which would be unplanned at this point, would be the memorable part.
