I'm not sure giving creepy guys women whose entire job is to perform sexual acts at their creepy behests will help them uncreepify.
I've thought of a better way to help them: purge the unclean.

well, i always figured a lot of the creepyness would go away when they got upgraded from basement dwelling cave virgins to standard basement cave dwellers.
purging the unclean does sound more cost efficient though

When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it. |

The way some nerdlings behaved around her, i was surprised she didn't invest in a bigger knife actually.
I often expected her to show up with a blade to put rambo to shame

I'm just glad this hobby doesn't produce any sexual irregularities besides the normal awkwardness of being a nerd. It's the overlap with anime that I am concerned about. Suddenly, we'll have our asses handed to us by traps playing DE armies.

Shocked, and my general dislike of elves and elf-references bubbling over, I said to everyone but her, "Well, I guess I'd better be leaving," and promptly left. The look on her face was priceless.
 Please post a photo so we can debate your likeness
My likeness is irrelevant. No one else can see the resemblance so far, but there are a few random photos of me on the first or second page of the 'Show Yourself' thread if you really wanted to have a pick. I have long hair... that's about it. Admittedly I have a terrible memory for faces and figures, and don't frequently watch movies or television.
The point is that I was basically objectified by one of those horrible nerds at the LGS, and I'm never going back!
I'll be there today.

Carrying a large knife is a common amateur mistake.
A small knife and a jar with pairs of lumpy flesh bits next to ya, is much more initimidating than just sittin there with a rambo knife lookin scary

Oh, stop it both of you. Have as many levels of tough guy as you want, just don't derail threads with your laughable attempts at forum politics. Take it to pm, unless you only wanted people to see you flexing your troll muscles.
Although as pointed out earlier, no one has responded positively to the topic. Any takers before lock?

There's a lot of hate (self-hate and otherwise) for the guys building up in here but I say again gamer girls are not exactly the most socially mature individuals out there. I certainly don't think either the guys or the girls have an advantage over one another in that department. When you put two awkward people in a room together, don't be surprised when awkwardness ensues. The main "advantage" (which no one here seems to think is any advantage at all) that the guys have is numbers. So what made you ladies that are posting here get into 40k in the first place? I hear a lot of guys claim their wives/girlfriends are "just about" to play or that people have met other guys' wives/girlfriends that got on board because their husbands play. But--assuming you guys have a different reason--what got you interested enough to devote the time and treasure required? I think that we'd have a better hobby if more women were involved. It would definitely be interesting to see how GW would react (if at all) if suddenly more women were involved. What do people think?

No, and I doubt I ever will. There are a few girls in my area that play WHFB and a couple that play 40k but all of them are less then a treat to the eyes and all of them lack personal hygiene ( I don't like to be around anyone who doesn't shower....).

Though now that I think about it, there are actually a lot of hot girls that like to come down and hang out at our store.
