[QUOTE="freebfrost, post: 2176592, member: 3713"] I've had women gamers in my games for years, and have never heard this one before. So basically, male gamers are so much more in touch with our feminine side whilst gaming - so emotional, so passionate - that we are afraid of letting women see us be so vulnerable? You're fairly young I would guess... :) I really don't personally know any gamers who fit that stereotype. I am certainly proud of all my hobbies, D&D included. Now, this doesn't mean that I walk around all the time carrying my PHB and wearing a Dragon t-shirt anymore than I walk around carrying my bike and wearing a Lance Armstrong t-shirt. On the flip side, I'm also a thirty-something married gaming guy, and have long since come to terms with who and what I am. Not sure how old your boyfriend and company are, but maturity does have a lot to do with that too. But you *are* a rookie - and like any club or organization, there can be a "hazing" period where you will be the one pointed at while everyone snickers and calls you "rookie" to some extent. I discourage that at my table, and actually probably spend more time patronizing the rules lawyer who's played for 20+ years when she finally gets a rule wrong! I would suggest that if you still can't see playing with your boyfriend, to find another group to get your feet wet. Reading the rules is okay, but sitting in on a few games makes all the difference in the world. Go out and play some and come back to your boyfriend's group not as a rookie, but as an experienced player. Don't miss out on your opportunity for enjoyment, and maybe just take the chance in expanding your boyfriend's views at the same time. [/QUOTE]
