I m a girl get over it

Interesting Thread - and my personal views

Sarajaine"The Solar",

From my own experiences, I can tell you that I have enjoyed having my ex-cheerleader wife become a gamer

She had never played the game before meeting me. She thought the game was interesting, but never developed a passion for it until she was home and bored one day, and I invited her to play in my group to give her something to do, and to give it a try. She likes it enough to spend time typing out every spell in her spell book, and run ideas and rules by me as gaming day approaches. She spends more time prep-ing her character than I spend working on the campaign (I'm a fly by the seat of your pants kind of DM).


Guys should look at having SO's play as an opportunity to spend some time together, share the same friends and interests. As long as the desire to play the game is there - then let them play I say! (Unless the group is full - then you should kick the ugliest, least liked gaming buddy to the curb, to let the hot bikini clad girl play - assuming she will wear the bikini on gaming day!)

I've attached a pic of me and my wife (who is not wearing a bikini, because she would kill me if I did post a pic of her in one without permission - I'm at work and can't ask )

We are quite happy playing DND together I'll bet you and your boyfriend would enjoy playing together too. DND that is!

I'm here. ::waves::

Sarajaine, I can totally relate.

I most definately do not look like someone who'd know a lot about gaming. (Trust me, I'm at my office job right now wearing a pink baseball shirt with Bambi on it and designer jeans and I look like the total opposite of your stereotypical gamer)

I dated a guy in college who gamed and when I wanted to play, know what I was told??? I was told, they did not want any female players because they didn't think I'd catch on or that I'd quit if I ever broke up with the guy. (Needless to say, I did break up with him because he was a woman hating loon, and this didn't help his case. )

Then I met another gamer group. There was one girl in the group and she was unbearably catty and the thought of another female intruding about her gamer boys just made her worse. I fell out of touch with that group too.

Now I play two games on a regular basis. In one group, I'm the only girl and the only one whose PC has not died yet.

I know what you mean about being taken seriously. It's almost like it's okay for guys to be geeky, but women should all be fluffy and rainbows and dreadful pop music and shopping and every other stereotypically female thing there is. And 20 sided dice are not on that list.

Luckily, I think with the advent of the LOTR movies, being into fantasy is becomming more acceptable socially, and with it, hopefully more and more women will take to gaming. I have a female friend who is somewhat interested and have known a handful of women in my lfie who I think would probably get into it if it was more "socially acceptable".

Oh, and sweetie, if any guy in your gaming group ever talks down to you are tells you to fetch the men a beer, kick him in the shins for me.

And then, the next time you slay a dragon, keep all the treasure (and XP) for yourself.

Thank you. Its really nice that you share a common interest and I hope that even tho we may not play at the same table, my bf and I can share the same love for dnd.

As to SaraJaine & Scatched Back. I wish you nothing but love & happiness for a long time.

P.S. When you want name Ideas for the baby. Come here and ask. Nobody comes up with better names than gamers (as detailed in another thread around here).

Thank you...I wish that for us too To anyone on this thread who wishes to leave talks of appearence behind I would welcome any fantasy girl names for the baby, I like elven names as they are softer although they tend to be long too. Any input would be great

Ok, if pic posting is going on.... I think the EN World moderators have a duty for each of them to post a picture in their best bikini , If they actually do it maybe or might be more suitable.

I'm obviously not willing to leave talks of appearance behind (see post above).

But my wife's name is Morgana and I think it is one of the coolest names around. She gets lots of comments on it, though admittedly many of these have to do with The Kissing Bandit.

Don't worry, Djeta. I'm not stalkin' you or nothin'.

I'm one of those guys who is fortunate enough to see beauty in most women. I guess I just think that women are beautiful and I tend to see their best features and overlook any imperfections.

Since I mostly know you through your posts and the personality reflected in them, I'd have to say that's among your more attractive features.

Plus I love your hair.

I haven't been much aroudn to, but didn't Djeta had a bf or husband around here too? Isn't Buttercup a girl too?

Yes.

Here is a thread about enworld women.
