Boyfriends in gamer's clothing are far more rare, but also more easy to spot.  They position themselves between their girlfriends and the rest of the table, right from the get go, almost as if claiming their territory.  They make no attempt at the rules, only embracing the GTA-like aspects of D&D, they often going out of their way to try and sabotage the game ("I Piss on the altar / kill the king / throw the sorcerer over the cliff / wander off on my own to look for other stuff that's more interesting" etc.)  if the boyfriend has any sort of experience with other RPG's (like computer games or (shudder) LARPing), he may actually generate a proficient character... or one that is proficient in hitting things and nothing else.If the game runs longer than two hours, they may attempt to start an impromptu makeout session in the middle of combat and / or an important plot point.We never see the boyfriend again.</blockquote>
