People seem to get the opinion that gaming is all wierdo types who don't fit into normal society, but that is just silly. Gaming doesn't make people anything, it is all what people bring into gaming with them, if you are a nutcase who games, then you are a nutcase, what does gaming have to do with it. Yes gaming draws in alot of odd people but gaming doesn't make you odd. There are alot of "normal" people who game too, and most of the really smart people I know game or have gamed in the past. The problem is that the wierdest oddballs out there end up being taken as the typical gamer, I am sure that not all Trekkies speak Klingon and are socially inept, but thats what they show on TV so that must be typical. I have two daughters and I worry more about them becoming popular and hanging with the cool top of the school types who think that they are gods gift to women and think saying no means yes, than I am of them hanging out with geeks and nerds who are so scared of girls that they can't talk normal to them. Yes there are bad people everywhere you just can't stereotype one group as being bad with women.</blockquote>
