I hate to label people myself, but I've never been very impressed by the quality of rpger's and their social skills. Most random gamers I meet in public are creepy or just don't have a laid back personality. Even online gamers usually require smiley faces just to figure out if you are joking or not   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />. I've socialized online for 12 years and never had as many people take an obvious joke as being serious as much as on rpg forums. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone write, "Oh, I wasn't sure cause there was no smiley face". They are also the fastest to point out your mistakes to prove their superior knowledge; either game related or all the way down to simple typing errors. That's not exactly the type of person I'd like to hang out with.I understand where you're coming from. There's a lot of cool guys out there though, you just have to weed through the bad. I think I averaged 1 cool guy out of 5. It might be harder finding guys your own age that you'd get along with, so don't restrict yourself to 30-40 y/o's. There's plenty of 20-something career drivin guys that you might actually get along with.Just post ads in the gamers seeking gamers forum on Enworld, or on the WotC website. Do a search for San Diego gamers and you might find Yahoo groups dedicated to finding SD gamers. Make sure you post exactly what type of people you would like to meet. Then all you can do is meet people and decide if you want to game with them. It's rough, but there's no easier way unless you approach people at conventions or gaming stores.</blockquote>
