| Ok I know stereotypes exist for a reason but.... I look up at the ad banner today and the first one I see says 'Want a Girlfriend?' Some ad for a dating website Oh I know that us folk who tend to play role playing games have a bit of a reputation of living in our mothers basement and the only woman we know is some guy pretendeding to be a chick in a chat room but come on.... Dont pander to the stereotype quite so much [Please note I am not really insulted I just had this line of though and laughed a little at it so I though I would share, personally I am happily married as are the majority of my gaming friend and i am sure there is noone on here who lives in his/her mothers basement and the only woman he/she actually knows is some guy pretending to be a chick in a chat room ] | |

| Hey, there are girls pretending to be guys out there too. You never really know who, or what, you're talking to in cyber space. Personally I think its sad that so many people cannot deal with the reality of who they are. Can you say 'rampant identity crises'? I'm not married, live alone (not in mom's or anyone else's basement), and have no trouble approaching, talking to, nor interacting with members of the female persuasion (just for the record.) | |
