well?

Hot chicks dont play 40k....hence, no. (No offence to any girls here...just my observation)

It's funny about girls though, if they were smart, more of them would hang out at game stores. They get tons of attention, and they're all rock stars when in your FLGS.

there was a good looking blonde WORKING in a gamesworkshop i know
dun dun duuuun

Its only because she brought in the customers. And no I haven't girls don't play this game. I met my gf somewhere outside I forget where lol I'm just lucky she lets me play with my little men whenever I want.

No, haven't gotten a girl friend through 40k. I do have an attractive female friend who is interested in 40k and WHFB.

At the Seattle Battle bunker there used to be a decently attractive gal who worked there but she was more than likely bait, who happened to play the game.

Also why all caps and why so many exclamation points?

Because he doesn't understand netiquette.

People these days...

Hmmm. Seems keen to find out.

No.

I never will, through 40k or other means.

At least my minis still love me, don't you, Archaon?

Mine played 40k and Inquisitor, it has turned into a general disinterest after all support for Inquisitor has been killed off.

Indirectly. I was introduced to my now-girlfriend via a friend I met playing 40k.

No, but my wife managed to reintroduce me to 40k. She knew I was into painting these strange little toy soldiers and wanted to find a store in Shanghai. She came home one day and told me she thought she had found the place...and low and behold...she found an LGS. She has regretted it ever since (5 min drive from our place or 1 underground stop).

No, do don't get your hopes up

At my LGS a guy was in there having a double match with the staff and he had his girlfriend on his team.

So it looks like it works for some

ABH

Ive spent on 40k like its a girlfriend (dont tell the wife). Does that count?

I never got a GF because of40K or any other GW product. But my wife got into WFB Brits because she likes painting horses. And who would have guessed is that she wins almost every game she plays, her dice rolling is freakish. We have never seen so many 5s and 6s.

I think you're rather more likely to lose a girlfriend through playing that to gain one

No girlfriends through 40k/fantasy BUT there are 5 girls in our school warhammer club!
2 of wich play 40k

Directly? No.

Indirectly, yeah.

That could be taken the wrong way.

Girls would get a lot more attention in a LGS, if you can call attention sidelong glances or outright staring. I have this picture in my mind of a row of guys just staring, game forgotten and gaming paraphernalia in hand. Heh.

Rico.

I think the hardest part about trying to get more girls into the hobby, is the awkwardness at the LGS's.

As mentioned, all the attention is nice, if you actually want it, and if its not from some creepy old guy that licks his lips between every other word

I know not many of us wander into the LGS on a regular basis, but if we got treated more like part of the nerd herd, and less like a fetish model of some sort, we'd be alot more comfortable hanging out.

Also- dont be the guy thats turns into a pissy lil whiner when you get your butt kicked by a girl. Ive seen so many guys (usually younger ones) that get so insecure about it, that they virtually guarantee at least a 2 year extension on thier virginity.

And remember- dont assume girls dont know what they are doing. Yes, I know the stereotype of the gamer girl that plays because her BF/hubby convinced her too (but she deoesnt really care and hence doesnt know the rules & such). But seriously, if a gal walks into and LGS, she either knows what she is there to get, or will ask for help finding it- girls ask for directions/assistance more often than guys- especially if they're getting stared at in a creepy fashion and want to get out of the place!

There is actually a cute girl that plays 40hams at my FLGS. Too bad she is one of those "OMFG! Super kawaii desu desu!" people.

Ha ha ha ! NO.

I don't even think it would be worth trying. My wife wouldn't like it.

These threads seem to be an extension of that game store creepiness, right down to the over-use of exclamation marks. The whole "OMG GIRLS!!!!!!!!!" attitude.

My wife gave it up after having to play a child in a GW store. (no FLGS at the time)

Now she plays warmachine, complaining 40k just wasn't aggressive enough for her.

As for how she moved from GF to wife - wargaming wasn't what closed the deal. I don't think that wargaming will ever be what closes the deal.
