I m a girl get over it

[Sarajaine"The Solar"]

Hi Sarajaine - I don't think how you look generally has any relevance to the game, although occasionally a GM can be distracted by an attractive player. But there is a potential issue where you're the gf of the GM since the other players may suspect bias. Personally I was a bit uncomfortable one time when a female player attended my game in a short skirt, I'd prefer my players to dress casual, jeans & t-shirts/sweaters type thing, when at the game.

I'm a tshirt and jeans gal anyway, tho I apreciate yr point completely

In other words, men are more crude?

Mens' behaviour in a group is often more assertive, they are more willing to compete for attention. Impolite maybe, but not crude.

The majority of typical girls, as far as I can tell, think that way about music or cars or sports or whatever. You think it about gaming. That's neat. You have found a vast untapped market of hotness. You're at the cutting edge of the rising NerdLust wave!

Yay for the existence of folks like yourself.

I just admire guys who have a passion for something and when they enjoy it they put 100% into i t. My bf comes home after dnd with such a spring in his step and talks for hours about the encounters that night. He likes good music and had a sports car but its the geek in him that gives me butterflies. GOD! I'm cheesy

I prefer coed naked gaming myself. Damn the torpedoes! And distractions too, for that matter!

Yeah, well, I'm married. And I think my GMing skills would suffer. I pride myself on my GMing, but I'm susceptible to distractions like any other guy. So trousers & a demure top, please.

Seriously though, I've run groups of all females, I've played groups that were 80% female (and a female GM), I've had girlfriends involved/interested, not involved/interested, I've seen (and coached) an all female group of high schoolers (they started their group because the 'boys' were being 'jerks')...

In the end, like any other hobby, it's an individual choice of interest...

Play it if you want, ply with your man's group, or make your own (of course you simply must "Force" your man to play in your group - for the 'fun revenge' factor alone - play a male character that's in 'love' with his character.. watch him squirm! lol)... Do whatever it takes, but, if you want to game, do it!

And if anyone 'pats you one the head', I agree with the other poster, put em in a headlock and stuff d20's up their nose!

No more so than anyone else who'se been in crazy goofy rommance.

I think it's a general trait that most guys are pretty obsessively nerdy about something. Part of that hunter instinct where we seek perfection, knowledge, and power that suits us best. You're lucky that you found a guy who expresses that in a unique fashion that's different from the stereotype of what guys are into.

Sort of: I like sports cars, too, but to know how to fix up an old '67 Chevy and spruce it into a smokin' hot rod is something that requires a certain amount of obsessive nerdiness.

The feedback to the fake ad in Knights of the Dinner Table for hot Eastern European women looking for lonely American gamer guys to marry was pretty funny. I think they reprinted it in their 100th issue.

That WAS a classic! The funny thing was that I glossed right over that "ad" when originally placed, and didn't catch on until the letters started coming in.

Darn, I missed issue 100, no place I've checked seemed to have it in stock, so I had to special order it, and I'm told the distributor was out too - they are hoping for a restock...

He has this cool facade tho where he tries to act like he isn't into as much as I know he is. Even now I have to remind him that its the geek I love and if dnd is part of his life thats cool. Then he starts talking about it for hours and does'nt stop until he knows he is acting l ike a kid in a sweet shop and then he blushes he will kill me when he reads this thread hehe

He'll either kill you, or come out of the gamer closet. Though I wonder if the fact that he's in the closet was part of how he was able to get a "normal" like yourself?

Naaah, if he kills you, he's gonna kill everyone on this thread who is offering you their heart, too. And that's a lot of effort. I'd be more worried about him exposing YOUR embarassing facts to someone.
