Heh...a buddy of mine "married" a girl on EQ....turned out "she" was a guy
Heh, well, out of the 4 "female" players that I've DMed for online and met through EQ, only one is actually female. At least 2 are openly gay, dunno about the third one. Oh, and one of the two married a persumably straight guy in EQ too :b
It was weird finding out that about 3 people that I'd allways thought of as female were actually guys. I mean, they'd ALLWAYS roleplayed female characters and used female avatars. Go figure.

Ready to defend.

"Sir, no offense was meant towards the lady, I assure you. I stand here ready to defend my right to be subtly perverse and humorous. As long as I have not offended Sir Eric's grandmother, I will only clarify what I said was in jest."

Its ok Buttercup, I have already talked to my girlfriend about posting her pic on here- she doesn't care. She knows I brag on her all the time, and she does the same on me with her friends and relatives. 
Heck, at least once a week a student comes into my office and gawks at her pic on my desk.

Dragongirl,
If that picture is accurate, then you are truly blessed. I doubt that the male contingent of these boards hitting on you will be anything new. You are quite attractive, and are quite used to such attentions, I'm sure. I wonder at your single status, though. It it by choice, circumstance, or timing?
Subject at Hand:
An aquaintance of mine once commented that there are two kinds of women who play RPGs. Female Gamers, and Gamer Chicks.
Female Gamers are the otherwise normal, and often at least moderately attractive, humans of the female persuasion who enjoy gaming as a pleasant pasttime, and as a social diversion. Usually accompanied by hordes of drooling males, and often dating a non or pseudo gamer man possessing at least a modicum of artistic talent. Usual features: Sarcastic sense of humor, interest in either celtic or 80's music, many icons featuring either unicorns or dragons, and a predilection for the colors black, purple, blue, and/or red.
Gamer Chicks are the female equivalent of the unwashed bull hippo's that grace most gaming tables. These are the women that often show up at cons to hit on anything that moves, and dress in revealing clothing that their body type REALLY doesn't support. Usual Features: Male hanger-on of similar body type, fondness for leather, and a fondness for elven characters. Often fond (apparently) of the colors brown, yellow, pink, and black (they're gamers after all).
Stereotypical? Yes. Don't blame me, I didn't come up with it. Just reporting what I've heard.
Hmmm....I wonder if male gamers can be broken down into such categories? Male Gamers, and Gamer Dudes?

Let's just say I have had a complicated life and leave it at that. I am single as in not married, but have a special relationship with Boothbey.
That is tooooo funny. I am extremely sarcastic, love old 80s pop, and heck chose the name DRAGONgirl!! Glad I am not a "gamer chick" specially since I can't stand the chick word. Just ask Meepo.

Considering the amount of attention she's drawn on this thread, you're probably grinning ear-to-ear right now that you're the one she's with. That's assuming you're not the jealous type.
If you are the jealous type, I'll remind you that I'm attached, so any oogling I did was done respectfully.
Dragongirl- A question: What specifically bugs you about the appelation "chick"? My girlfriend usually doesn't mind it, but there have been a couple of occasions when she bristled like a strung-out cat. So, in her case, it's entirely context-based.

I just personally find terms like chick and broad to be derogatory.
