[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3483872, member: 41321"] I wonder if one of the reasons more women aren't in gaming is that it's scary for a woman to go over a stranger's house that you know will be full of strange men. Most groups are harmless, but the sad truth is that the chance of women being accosted when meeting strangers is much higher than men in the same situation. Personally, I'm in a situation where I don't know too many people in the area, and even back in my home town none of my friends were into roleplaying games, so if I wanted to join a live group I'd need to go out on a limb and meet with strangers. Honestly, that's scary for me. I'd definitely have to bring my boyfriend along were I to go over a stranger's house for a D&D game, but most women in my situation probably don't already have a gamer boyfriend who'd be willing to go with them. Of course, the stereotype of geeky, pimply, male teens sitting in a dark basement playing D&D probably does not help get females interested in the game. :\ [/QUOTE]
