ENWorld women

[Savage Wombat]

Well, I'm not a woman, but I am a wombat.

And I do have a wife who games, and another female at our gaming table. So this thread isn't entirely irrelevant.

Perhaps someday the lovely ladies in our group will start posting here. 4 of my closest friends (and coincidentally, the friends I game with) are in fact very into D&D etc. They love Harry Potter...a LOT, are way into old books from the likes of Jane Austin, music, drama... I dunno. I'll prod them into coming here someday and point them towards this thread.

Men!

Why the hell would anybody want to talk about men?

Clothes!

What's there to talk about clothes?

Shoes!

Shoes...? Buy one pair, use till they break down, buy another pair.

Makeup!

I've never understood makeup. Never. And probably never will.



Getting back to the subject, I only know of one female gamer IRL. My little sister. And for some reason she doesn't post in these boards (at least to my knowledge, she's a sneaky bastard though).

All this time, I thought Sixchan and Kahuna Burger were guys. Oops.

*cough, cough*

Re-read the thread, but pay more attention to what I say this time...

Another female gamer here....

I don't post much, but I do lurk; I suppose that qualifies me.

I've been gaming for about 13 years now, and most of that time has been spent with the same bunch of guys. (I've known a couple of other girls who gamed, but they weren't "regulars".)

The guys in my group had been gaming together for several years before I joined them, and it was several more years before I felt truly accepted. I knew I was "one of the guys" when they stopped apologizing every time a profanity slipped out.

Hehe - I've found a few but I find that men are quite trainable.

for example I went upstairs during the game to yell at the kids to go to bed and shut off the lights when I came back into the gaming room the guys were all sitting in the dark with their hands folded in their laps.

lol! ...this sounds so familiar, exept we've got two munchkins & live in a one story house (so I only go into the hall to yell, not upstairs).

Interesting. Being bisexual, I kind of take turns talking about men and women. It's women at the moment. I only have about six pairs of shoes (most falling apart) and wear makeup very rarely. I'm coming around to clothes, though!

Sweetie - I can talk about women if you'd like. I'm a bi myself.

Well - I would have to say that I didn't really care for all that fashionista stuff during college. I was more interested being stubborn brat I used to just wear whatever my mom or little sister gave me from their closet (clothes, shoes,purses,makeup) mostly because I didn't care.

Now its fun for me because I can appreciate the beauty of those things, the craftmanship and how good it makes me look. And if I feel like I look good, then I get a great boost of good mood confidence that is just snarky. Now I'm buying my own stuff, creating my own collection, and fast running out fo closet space.

This new obsession though is not financially healthy when combined with my obsession with books, video games and computer-relatated equipment. I think though my books will always outspace everything else and that's as it should be.

One of my friends is the extreme of this type. I'm crazy about her.

She isn't interested though...
