[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 548346, member: 2804"] Interesting thread. I had a girlfriend once who admitted to me she doesn't like Star Wars. That relationship lasted about another week and then it was over. Now, I'm married and while my wife doesn't game she does understand this hobby is important to me. When we were first dating I always joked about hanging out with the guys and doing "guy" stuff. Like watching sports. Gradually I got her to include video games in the category of "guy" stuff. And then I threw in fantasy and sci-fi movies. "C'mon honey I have to go see Lord of the Rings with the guys! Its a guy thing, you know we are little boys at heart, right?" said with a smile and joking manner. Well once she accepted that I love SF and fantasy movies and video games it was only a short hop to RPGs and she totally accepts all of it now. She even bought me the Psionics Handbook for my birthday two years ago when it first came out. Now, how cool is that? Recently, I got her hooked on Harry Potter and even Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. She also watches some anime and reads comics and she is starting to play video games with me too. :) [/QUOTE]
