I think this year at GenCon I'm just going to wander around taking pictures of non-fat-beardy guys. When they ask what I'm doing, I'm going to say, "I don't know what I expected from the guys at GenCon, but you surpass!"

Pfft. I've been doing that for years. And I'm straight.

It keeps them on their toes.

I am going to join Seonaid in her :snicker:
 

In a moment of semi-seriousness, the guys at GenCon in general did surpass my expectations. I barely got a whiff of BO the whole time, I only saw a few shaggy "non-hairdos" and scruffy neckbeards, and nobody tried to tell me about their character uninvited. No floors collapsed under the weight of all the gamers sitting on them, nobody was so immobile due to weight and lack of exercise that they needed to rent a scooter to get around, etc.

Granted, my expectations were extremely low...

Some of the CM/ENW crowd in particular were fun, engaging, even dapper (nerfherder, I'm looking at you here.

Hobo and nerfherder sittin' in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!

But, really, the CM/ENW crowd tends to be pretty damned good looking. And, at GenCon they know that they will be mocked to no end if they (a) have greasy neckbeards or (b) require me to spray them with the travel bottle of Oust I keep in my purse.

For me, Gen Con is usually an ego boost. Because I do see guys with neckbeards (more like chest beards because of how far down the chins go), or on scooters, or just generally unhealthy looking. I feel a little bad being so down on them, but after Gen Con I feel so much better about my appearance.

Instead of Gen Con, this summer I'm going to Brazil, land of hot men and hotter women. I wonder what a gamer con looks like in Brazil.
