Gamer Love Life

[barsoomcore]

Whoah. There's some creepy stuff out there, no kidding. Okay then...

My wife is cooler than everyone else's wife. Okay, I won't insist everyone else agree with me, but I insist that everyone else agree I'm entitled to that opinion. She recently had a T-shirt made with this image on the front.

Cool.

She, inspired by jonrog1's Drunk Southern Girls story hour, is about to start up her own Dark*Matter campaign. She's currently spending evenings reading my Call of Cthulhu and giggling madly to herself. I'm afraid.

By the way, have I mentioned that I introduced three stewardesses to the hobby who are now avid gamers? One went out and bought a fur cap to wear while she plays her ranger. And a stuffed dog to be her wolf companion. Another discovered that her boyfriend of two years was a closet gamer and they both play in a Star Wars game now.

A DM's Guide can be a chick magnet, my friends.

I not only think that you are entitled to it, I think it's awesome that you have it.

I'm a gamer gal. My husband confessed when we were dating way back when that he would've never been able to get serious about someone not into gaming.

I wasn't a "Gamer" when we met- I'd tried it but didn't have the opportunity. The geek factor was well in place though, and that's what was important. But because gaming was such a big part of his life, I can understand his point of view- it's easier to participate in a relationship when you share a large hobby.

A gamer girl would understand, and not interfere! She'd be supportive, hopefully cuz she'd be in the game!

Gotta step in here-- Gamer couples still have problems. We argue quite a bit over gaming. I understand the hobby, but we have a VERY strong difference of opinion on a reasonable amount to spend on said hobby.

Yeah. when we find a gamer woman, we snatch her up as quick as possible.

They are indeed a great treasure. Especially those that cook for the group.

Bless them.

I'll say the same thing about gamer guys! I don't cook (at all)- hubby does it all. We have awesome gaming session food.

you just need to find someone who is understanding of your hobby. and your love of pugs.

I had my love of pugs prior to hubby too! So when we got our first pug together, it made it even that much more special. Who couldn't love pugs?!?!

All the talk about android girlfriends got me thinking about Austin Powers 2.

Heh. Well, good luck with that whole thing. A couple of your checkpoints seem a little extreme, though. Is gaming really the thing that defines who you are? That's a helluva lot of dedication to make-believe, man. Also, unless your partner is really hardcore and can't stand to even be around meat, there's really no problem in getting along with a vegetarian. Unless, of course, you're a baby robin and she has to chew your food up for you and spit it into your mouth.

If I may ask, how old are you? It seems to me that a lot of people are much more set on what traits their partners MUST have when they're younger.

not RPGs specifically, but gaming in general. playing games is the one thing that makes life somewhat approach being worth living.

as far as the meat thing, i don't want both of us to have to cook seperate meals all the time. it's a logistics thing. we should be able to enjoy meals together, which means she shouldn't have any crazy taboos that would interfere with that.

and i'm 26. though i don't live like a 26 year old.

Pics?

As soon as I figure out how and where to put them, I'd love to share.

How's that? How is a 26 year old supposed to live?

How's that? How is a 26 year old supposed to live?

I don't know, but alone, in a one-bedroom apartment where the only thing that gives the place any character are the bookcases full of fantasy novels and gaming books; eating mostly frozen food, cereal, and sandwiches; and rarely spending time with other people outside of work and the weekly gaming session probably isn't it. And, well, that's how I lived at 26... and still do at 28. It's not a lifestyle that's all that conducive to attracting a significant other.

How's that? How is a 26 year old supposed to live?

well, not with their parents, for one.

seriously i'm a college undergraduate still 100% dependent on parental support, and i live at home during summers. most 26 year olds are graduated from college and have a "real job". only job i've ever worked was the concession stand at a movie theatre during the 2 years i wasnt going to college.
