LOL Legion you are funny. Hey, I met a chic last week who was a die-hard Epic player, but when I told her I had interests in other games too she called me a gaming slut and that was the end of it. She was hot too, NetEpic, tall, long hair, nice legs, and really firm breasts, nice ass. . . oh well.
I had a girlfriend once who dove into all the stuff I was interested in when she first came into my apartment. It was mostly japanese animation stuff. Over the next few months she was checking out things on her own, etc etc and it got annoying talking to her about it all. I usually look at my hobbies as a retreat from reality, and something I do with others every once and awhile. I'd rather not mix both. I can appreciate the great women who do share their man's interests, but I'd rather have mine more interested in womens stuff. Sounds crappy I know, but I like women as women. . . elegant, beautiful, etc etc, not as excited at their new Ork Warbike purchase. As long as my girlfriends acknowledge that the model I just painted looks cool I am fine.
I have pinned down a girlfriend or two to play a game here and there, but besides momentarily getting competative, it was all over as soon as it started. I still smile about some of the decisions they made or the COMPLETE lack of understanding for military strategy.
Wargames is really a guy thing. I don't want to sound sexist, but wargames is about death and destruction. I think it settles every guy's imaginary need for more power if that makes sense. I don't see many chics daydreaming about strapping on a power suit and fighting Tyranids either. I imagine they might like Fantasy Battles or Lord of the Rings, but very few. Every girl I have seen who was really into the hobby wouldn't be able to buy her way into a college sorority. Cruel statement, yeah, but that is what I have seen.
That being said, I have never had a girlfriend call any of my interests stupid either. I'll never understand owning 20,000 different pairs of shoes, 20 different BLACK cocktail dresses (in which all are unacceptable when it comes time to going out), or going to the bathroom in pairs. My favorite is walking into the bathroom when you are already late to find your girlfriend no where near ready and in tears because her hair . It is all good though.
BTW primarch, thanks for the heads up.
