[QUOTE="splitinfinitude, post: 945926, member: 12372"] Rant response - Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. That sounds awful. I, on the other hand, like female gamers. I don't find that female gamers are any more or less likely than males to have temper tantrums, be difficult, refuse to get along, or try to manipulate the DM. IMO, we men just put up with it from other men (boys will be boys) but get upset when women just play the game. BTW, I have never run across the "girls always want to talk to things" stereotype (most of the women gamers I know play barbarians or stealing, backstabbing rogues). Back on topic - I married a gamer girl, although when we started dating, I have to admit I hid my gaming dark side for awhile. Turned out she had one of the original D&D sets her mom had got for her way back when, a dog-eared basic rules and about 10 characters she'd started but never had a chance to play. She's been gaming ever since, even though I have killed her PC's at least a dozen times. Most girl gamers I know aren't interested in dating the guys she games with. If you can ask her out w/o making a big deal about it, so the game can go on, I say go for it. [/QUOTE]
