[QUOTE="adriayna, post: 1616187, member: 13200"] Since I'm a female gamer myself, I'll chime in with my own experiences. I've been in groups that have had an even number of female:male gamers in the past, and have been in groups (like my current one) in which I am the only female. I guess you could say I've gotten lucky. The one group I was in that had an even ratio of female to male gamers (4 guys, 4 girls including me as the DM) was a longer evil game that I ran. The group was one I had "collected" as an undergrad in college--I found a bunch of people interested, and half of them happened to be women. I know its a little uncommon to have an even number of men and women, but it worked out fine. Since it was evil, there were certain issues more "open" than you might find in normal good groups. One of the female gamers (also a female character) ran a whorehouse, for example. Not once did we have any sort of issue (but that may have been because the guys were on even terms). The group was composed of mostly new players (with the more experienced players almost all being the male gamers). I did find as a DM the guys gave me more problems, but I attribute that to them being long-time gamers, not their gender. The group I'm currently in consists of 6 people: me and five guys (all of us are in our mid-20's). One of the male gamers is homosexual also. There have been a few uncomfortable moments for me, but generally the guys in the group are great and I haven't had any sort of problems. Sure we all joke about stuff, but I've seriously had a blast with these guys and I don't see my gender even as an issue at the table. I have talked to other female gamers who haven't gotten as lucky as i have in the experience. My advice to you is just to find a new group. If the group isn't working and the guys are acting like jerks, trust me, there are other groups out there who will accept you and make you feel welcome. [/QUOTE]
