[QUOTE="DM Howard, post: 5365436, member: 87131"] To set the stage for this I'd like to say that I am a 21 year old University Student and that I am of course a gamer and a "nerd". I recently went out with my girlfriend, who within the next year I will be engaged to, and somehow the topic game up that she thinks that I am too wrapped up in all my "games", as she puts them, and that she thinks that eventually I need to grow up and leave that stuff behind. I was rather bothered by this as being a gamer, being a "nerd" is part of who I am, and I told her that gaming was something I would be doing in one form or another for the rest of my life. She wasn't too thrilled by this, but we got to the mall and our discussion turned elsewhere. I'm wondering how other people how dealt with a situation like this, where gaming is considered a non-adult thing to do and you just need to grow up. How do other people react to this sort of attitude? Dndungeoneer [/QUOTE]
