I m a girl get over it

[Crothian]

... that was really weird. Stop stealing my thoughts, Crothian!

Stealing your thoughts?? Get out of my head!!!!

Yeah, she is.

As I stated before, I'm aware that there are stereotypes, but there are several different ways of addressing those stereotypes without bragging. "my appearance doesn't fit the gamer girl stereotype" is one way of saying it. Another way would be "I'm not unattractive". Comparing yourself to a cheerleader and calling attention to your looks several times in one post IS bragging (especially if you post a pic of yourself in a bikini). People brag, it makes them feel good, and it's not a huge deal. I'm sorry I made it one.

BTW, if SJ wants to use an elven name, she could try the encyclopedia of arda (just google it). Just don't forget that the kid has to live with the name until she's 18 (poor, poor Moonunit).

Please can you get off this subject!! I certainly did not say that gamer chicks were un-attractive and the way you would assume Im that narcissistic bugs me considering you know nothing about me! I have met one girl in particular my bf knows who has gamed once before and she is perfectly pretty but she looks however to fit in with my boyfriends crowd more so than i would. Regarding the boring on going subject of the dreaded bikini.. it was merely a joke after someone refered to seeing me in a chain mail one. If you knew me at all you would know I dont happen to think I'm the next playboy model, I just like dnd. Djeta gets my point and you clearly don't. I believe it was yourself who made what I look like an issue on this thread not me!

I have noticed that the gamers on this site are predominantly from the US and the whole RPG industry and gamers are huge in comparison to here in the UK. This would probably explain as to why there is more exceptance over there due to the fact there are a lot more female players.

The US is quite heterogenous on the matter. In some places, groups with half or more female players are not uncommon. In other places, the idea of a female gamer existing is considered to be somewhere in the likelihood of an honest politician or a jackalope.

??? Okay.

and the way you would assume Im that narcissistic bugs me considering you know nothing about me!

All I know about you is from what I read. Therefore, all my opinions are based on how I interpret your posts. I already mentioned that I could very well be wrong, but I'm not going to believe I'm wrong just because you say I am. I'm also not saying you are any more narcissistic than the average person.

If you knew me at all you would know I dont happen to think I'm the next playboy model, I just like dnd.

I never thought that.

Djeta gets my point and you clearly don't. I believe it was yourself who made what I look like an issue on this thread not me!

I do get your point, and I think it is a valid one. But, I believe that you weren't just making a point. Yes, I did make it an issue, and I regret that. Since you have asked me to stop posting on this particular subject, I will gladly do that. Let's just leave that topic completely behind and move on to more interesting discussions.

Immaturity is a turnoff for most potential girlfriends, employers and colleagues and therefore activities that correlate to immaturity are concealed from these people

First time posting .. hey there hi there ... new to the boards, also female, getting back into dnd after a long time away. Finally found a gaming group in my area *\o/*

Anyway I have to disagree, in part, with the above statement. I got my current job partly because, at the time, I was seriously into EverQuest on the pc. The supervisor who interviewed me knew a bit about the game and knew it meant a lot of multitasking and logic, not to mention patience, teamwork, and the ability to set goals and reach them. My current supervisor thinks playing dnd is sweet, even if he doesn't do it himself; he's always asking me questions about it. So either my insurance company is really liberal (unlikely - it's insurance), or attitudes are changing about gaming.

Anyway, since I have not said before, congratulations on the coming girl Scratched and Solar, I hope many barbarians and fighters tales will be told of her characters!

By the way, nice to se myself quoted, makes me feel even more into the ENWorld family.

Hey no problem mate, any time I see something I like, I believe in giving credit!

Also, thanks for the links, we're looking into them now. Elven child names. We already have a cat called simply "Elf."

Did he also know that most EQ players would sell their own mothers for good gear, skive from work to go on raids and scream blue murder at the screen when witnessing a ninja looter first hand?
