Well, as a female who games, I can say that my honest thought is that you have run into some really immature, silly boys. I don't know how old you are, but I know when I was about 19, I had a group of guys I wanted to game with. They wanted NOTHING to do with having a girl game with them. Sat in on a few of their sessions. EVERY woman in the game they mentioned was a chain mail bikini wearing warrior babe. Fast forward 5 years....met another group of people. They had a bunch of guys and one of the guys wanna-be goth girlfriends (now his wanna-be goth wife). She made it damn clear she did not want another female player and the guys obeyed her. It was pretty pathetic. Besides that , they played diceless Mage. Now I know better.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Every woman in their game was a scantily clad, manically depressed vampire woman.Fast forward to 2.5 years ago. I met my now live in boyfriend Chris (MojoGM on Enworld) and started playing with him and his groups. There are two groups. Been with one of them for almost 2 years, and the other for almost 1.5. I'm almost 28. Neither of these groups treat me any differently than they'd treat the guy players. One group has another female player and she always plays badass tough girls (a dwarven fighter and a paladin). My characters (half elf bard/sorcerer , elven druid, and gnome illusionist) are all interesting and fun to play. No one describes women as chain mail wearing trollops. Yay! In fact, one of my female characters is a happily childlike gnome. Not quite your average fantasy poster chick, eh? And my other two characters are always fully clothed, thank you very much. In fact, my characters are probably more modest than the real me. Don't worry about these guys. You will find a group of serious players who want you to join them. The best way to deal with it is to first try and discuss it with them. And then, if they are not mature enough to understand that it bothers you and why it bothers you, the next best thing to do is move on to another group who appreciates you. ~Sheri</blockquote>
