[QUOTE="invokethehojo, post: 5365580, member: 62525"] I have always dated non nerd girls, and have gotten similar responses. My wife doesn't give me crap about gaming, but she doesn't get it and did think it was kind of childish when we first got together. So I put it in perspective for her: I told her that her brothers (and sometimes her) sat around watching football every weekend, and talked about it non stop, and memorized a lot of "meaningless" statistics about it... and that the only difference between them and my friends was that we actually play a game instead of watching others play, and we generally drink less beer. I said all men (and many women) are into some kind of game, and that it seemed kinda rude to think I needed to grow up but the dudes watching football all the time were fine. She saw the light. She still doesn't get my game, and I don't understand how anyone could stand to watch football, but it isn't a big deal anymore. [/QUOTE]
