[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 4672251, member: 18182"] Please. In reality, many women enjoy comics, as you say. In reality, there are wise owners of comic shops and RPG shops that make sure to make their stores female-friendly. And in reality, there are just as many, if not more, comic book/rpg shop owners who don't get this and create sweaty man-child geek havens where women fear to tread. Not only that, but female-friendly comic/rpg shops are a relatively recent phenomena. I'm sure the writers for Heroes trend towards an older demographic, perhaps mid-thirties to mid-forties or even older . . . . and in our day (as teenagers), you didn't see very many girls in comic/rpg shops. Almost all of them were sweaty man-child geek havens. So, I don't find Alex's surprise at a hot girl walking into his comic shop unrealistic at all. Of course, down the street is another comic book shop where Claire would have found a less incredulous salesperson . . . . [/QUOTE]
