What's this "we" business.
I want no part of this collective. I will not be assimilated by you Borgs.

Indeed...in fact,the more one resists...the more they become part of the collective...and the more "we" are amused.
Now,in an attempt to get back OT,and since in all honesty most of "our" post in this thread have been "speculative" in nature...I will now speculate that we have not heard back from the OP becuase at some point he followed some advice he read here and it went horribly wrong...perhaps his perspective "friend" bludgeoned him with an army case for his participation in such a "nerdy" hobby and he is now attempting to redeem himself by lavishing gifts from the local shopping mall upon her...or then again,perhaps she was smitten by his honesty and they have since eloped.

Perhaps the OP followed Marshall2Crusaders' advice and is now entangled in a sex-swing with an amyl-nitrate soaked tangerine in his mouth.

If she sticks around cool, if she insults you about it or tries to get you to stop playing than kick her to the curb.

From reading all of this I wonder if you all simply haven't paid attention to the right women. There are lots of women who adore geeky men, and who engage in geeky hobbies.

-Any terrain containing Sly Marbo is dangerous terrain.
-Sly Marbo once played an objective mission just to see what it was like to not meet every victory condition on his own.
-Sly Marbo bought a third edition rulebook just to play meat grinder as the attacker.
-Marbo doesn't need an Eldar farseer as an ally; his enemies are already doomed
-Sly Marbo was originally armed with a power weapon, but he dropped it while assaulting a space marine command squad just so his enemies could feel pain
-Sly Marbo still attacks the front armor value in assault, for pity's sake. |

Ooh... reminds me of a hilarious party...
Someone tried the "everyone close your eyes, if you tried anal raise your hands" I now know something about at least 6 (drunk) people.
Funnier story, I ended up with one and it's been over 15 months.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. 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.

Yeah... One of my wife's friends regretted playing when he agreed to take a shot for both my answers(I'm not really a drinker) AND his(BIIIIG mistake). He found out the hard way that both of us were the only adventurous people in the room sexually(and that I beat him out on the number of things tried). I was talking about stuff most of them hadn't even HEARD of. Let's just say that before the game, the bottle of Patron was half full and didn't make it halfway through the game...

Well im a nerd and i have to beat the women back with a gakky stick. Maybe most chicks have seen the movie 'revenge of the nerds' and think it makes you better in bed... Its only after the fact they realise its a complete fallacy and i get a stitch when im two strokes in, but its too late by then. :-)

@ OP: just tell her.
"Yeah I like doing lots of stuff. I play games a lot, table top wargames that are kinda like chess but you make your own pieces"
thats how I introduced it. If she really likes you, she won't care that you play 40k as long as it doesn't interfere with her time with you. If she thinks it's stupid no matter what, then she's really not right for you. And not saying that because she doesn't like the game, but i mean like if she can't let you have hobbies you enjoy then she's really not someone worth being with.
My GF is awesome. she likes that I have this hobby she doesn't wanna play or even learn how, but she likes that I have something creative to do and I guess she probably thinks it's better than being a "normal" guy and spending my sundays getting drunk and watching football all day long.
