[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1073283, member: 9037"] In a way this is a subtle put down to woman who might be interested in playing a game where there is romance and charm. I play a tough fighter right now but in the past I have played a more "feminine" type character. I have noticed in this tread and others like it that some female gamers take a lot of pride in being treated like one of the boys and how on the whole they think guys are more honest and straight forward and not as likely to stab you in the back. It is almost like you won't be accepted unless you change who you are. I am a woman I love being a woman. I am a good role player and I know most of the rules. On the whole I usually get along with the guys I play with I don't expect them to not be guys but I do expect them to treat me with the same respect in the game as they treat each other. In my experiance men are just as likely to stab someone in the back when the person is not around and a waoman is just as likely to defend a person who is not there. I am kind of sick of the sterotyping going on. Yes men and women react differently and we don't always think the same way but that does not make one better than the other. I think the gaming experiance is enriched by having both guys and gals in it. Personally I think it might be boring to play in a game wherever one thought like I did. [/QUOTE]
