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

hmmmm
purging mmmm

Yeah will call it Gonohreah (sp) for Gamers.

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.

You haven't had that happen to you? What part of the country are you from?

As they say here on the interwebz, pics or it didn't happen.

Recently a random MtG girl came up to the painting table, where I was sitting, having just packed all of my things into the car outside and was just finishing off a drink...

"Hey, did anyone ever tell you you look like Orlando Bloom?"
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.

Congratulations, that was the stupidest remark the entire wargaming community has managed to produce in a long, long time.

I know, everyone knows DE are overrated.

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

You just need a very grumpy macaw on your shoulder, SICK BALLS!!!

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

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?

All the guys at my FLGS are too shy to introduce themselves, and I dont go there often enough to be a regular.

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?

guys this is dakka no girls here except m.o.m and thats because shes brave enough.

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....).

Guy In Real Life?

I've been trying to get my wife to play, she likes D&D and FFTactics and all, but she doesn't dig on the Whammer.

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.

I met my GF of 3 years playing a pen and paper RPG. I used to play whfb as a kid and a bunch of her friends play (although she does not)

My GF got me into 40k

Anyone mind if I take this as my sig?

Lol, not me. But it wouldn't fit and I was being too snarky as Arctik_Firangi pointed out.
