That's only partially true while those qualities help, if she's not attracted to you in the first place all the humour and confidence in the world isn't going to magically make the relationship kick start into a romantic/sexual
one.
This is one thousand times true. For us unfortunate few, all we can really do is wear masks, stalk them, and play organs in hidden rooms inside opera halls.

Sadly, I share this burden. One supermodel even lamented that, although her millions could buy us happiness, they could never buy us a boobsnake to join our coital bliss.

Also, it seems I have gotten a bit of flak for my OP, and I apologize. I understand that most of the time, people are attracted to other people for their personalities, not their hobbies. My girlfriend cares about me for my personality, and in a way everyones hobbies contribute a bit to their personalities.
However, I was more looking to see how wargaming in specific has affected relationships, whether they are positive or negative, not the sterotypical "personality" of wargamers (which is a stupid stereotype, wargamers come from all walks of life. Including ninjas.).
I apologize if I have offended anyone, I did not mean too

I'm pretty sure looks has a lot to with relationships as well, I don't know anybody who describes there boyfriends/girlfriends as hideous after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one man's hideous troll is another's
supermodel.

No offense or anything, but I don't think anyone's hideous troll is anyone else's supermodel.

I found that my wargaming went down dramatically when I got in a relationship, to the point where the only hobby I do seems to be going on Dakka. So I'd say my hobby hadn't affected my love life at all, my love life affected my hobby.

I met my Fiancee playing Guild Wars just over a year ago 
She hasn't started playing Warhams yet, but she started painting a wood elves army a couple of weeks ago. Regrettably she is using the same colour scheme that i am using for my tzeentch demons (bright pink and blue).
I was a little worried about what her reaction would be when she found out i was into toy soldiers, but as she herself said "I stay up all night killing imaginary creatures...... I am in no position to criticise you"

Where did they get a naked statue of Sarah Jessica Parker?
And how did they get a horse to wear a wedding dress?
