[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 947214, member: 12043"] Personally, I have found that it is just as hard for women who game, or are otherwise "geeky" to find guys who wanted them around. This has just been my experience and maybe not for some, but my current boyfriend is the only guy I've ever known who wanted me playing D&D with him. I would also like to at some point play in another game. My gaming has nothing to do with him. It's something we do together, but we could do it seperately if we had to. I dated a guy once for a few years when I was in college and he gamed and his group had several chances to have myself, and other women play and they wanted no part of us. Then I dated a guy who had 2 women in his group but decided I was not "cool, nor 'goth' enough" to play in his game. I have found that most guys who like cool stuff, fantasy, sci fi etc, are usually very happily with women who like the same things. In fact, if I wasn't with my BF and I were looking, I'd say that all of the men I know who I could have fun with are happily married/ taken. So I'd pretty much be out of luck until I met someone else. (Hopefully, things will continue as they have though, and I need not be in that position for a long time ;) ) I have in my time met very few guys who were into cool stuff. I think it works equally for both genders, at least as young adults in your 20's/30's who aren't in school. When you have unique, cool, hobbies and you aren't interested in things like sports, reality tv and such....regardless of if you are male or female, I think you have a hard time finding someone you'll get along with.
