Gamer girls can go to #$%&!!!

I take back everything I said about gamer girls. The one I was trying to date
is not interested in me in the least. Love is such a crock!

Sounds like somebodies morale just reached Broken as a result of a failed
confidence check, possibly as a result of hostile action against an alien
species.

(*Love isn't a crock, or we wouldn't all get so worked up over it*)

:) Here's to better times ahead.

Love isn't a crock. It just comes in many forms. There's a good element of

you'll actually find somebody.

But we all keep hoping and dreaming. I certainly do. Oh, I guess I never did
tell the list; some of you may distantly remember that I was engaged, but I
never did say she broke it off about eight months ago, now. Ah well.

On the flip side, you should also read my .sig.  (8-)

(Maybe we should start a second mailing list, where FT/DSII/SGII
players talk about how MOTAS have done evil things to them.  (8-) )

Easy Mark! How long did you know this girl? Do you have a solid friendship?
For me, love is a very serious word. My suspicion is that if you truly love
her, you would not give up so easily, nor say that she can go to #$%&!!! Love
works in mysterious ways, but it definitely is not a crock. Sometimes
it can take _years_ before the bond can be strong enough for a
relationship to develop, contrary to what we see on TV, etc. So chin up, smile
at a stranger, commit random acts of kindness, BE POSITIVE! Don't give up
until all hope is lost, it may be a test of you sincerity...

Love made in haste Is the easiest to waste...

I'm sorry if this doesn't help much, but I hate seeing people lose hope!

I'll have you know that I married a gamer girl. We've been happily married for
12.5 years. So, you can't write off all "gamer girls."

Uh, this post isn't cheering you up any, is it? Well, trust me, if my room
mate in first year university could have a girl friend AND an
ex-girl friend after him (and this guy hung an ape's head mask in a
bird cage from our ceiling on his first day in residence), there is well and
truly someone for everyone.

It just might take a decade or so to find her.

This post really ISN'T cheering you up, is it?

Oh, you young whipper-snappers. <<cackle>> I remember what it was like
to be the victim of ragin' hormones. <<sigh>> I remember back in '83 (or was
it '84?), puttin' footie prints all over the inside of my '74 Plymouth Fury
and havin' to take my mama down to the mall the next day. Yep. Them's was the
days, livin' in abject fear o' getting caught by the parents.

Now me an the missus gets more riled up talkin' bout mutual funds and
sport utility ve-hickles. <<sigh>> Yep, thems was the days...

Don't worry. When you hit your thirties, the ratio of single men to single
women swings drastically in your favour. And most of them have kids well past
the midnight feeding stage, so you get to skip that
whole stage of parenthood and jump straight to the pre-teens.

I'm not cheering either you OR Mark up with this post, am I Jerry?

Hehehe. Shit, man, that's too bad. Here's a VirtualBeer(tm), on me. If you
were here in Toronto, we could go have a real one, on me.

Like one of the other guys said, there's gotta be better times ahead. Just
don't give up, that's all. Get back in there and risk getting your ass kicked
again. It's the only way to succeed.

Hehehehehe. You crack me up, Allan.

If you ask me all this stuff about 'keeping your chin up' is rot. Be bitter &
enjoy it. Drink whiskey, listen to BB King and Patsy Cline.

It *does*????

Huh. I must be in the wrong place. I'm your age, Allan, and dey ain't 'round
here (if they are they're too young, too psycho, or have bf's already).

Heh.

Unfortunately.

It would be better if you could just back off and Nuke the place from orbit,
but in this case, that isn't an option.

It isn't whether you win or lose in this fight, just what form the losing
takes....

My first wife was a SERIOUS SF fan. Played any RPG she could get her hands on.
Started into miniature war gaming later in life, with a pure gamer outlook.
She looked at units in the game from a game mechanics perspective and did not
care one whit about what they were supposed to be in "real life". Tend to win
a lot because of that.

For those that noticed I said first wife, well, at the time I was in the Army.
I got out of the barracks and she got a dental plan. Love had
little to do with it.  We were/are good friends, even to this day.

My second wife, on the other hand, I am in love with. She plays RPGs, paints
figures and LOVES "Dragon Dice". Not so hot on tanks and things like that, but
she does paint them. Sort of odd colors at times, but given that they are
"Evil Empire" 6 mm stuff, that doesn't matter that much.

Hell, I know of several game companies who have a hoover on my wallet. But I
have yet to meet a nice girl who was interested in the hobby in general. That
is with the exception of the real wierd ones with issues that play V:tG. So,
I'm starting to think that they're like the legend of El Dorado or something.
Me, I'm staying an unrepentant, and unattached bachlor..It's easier in the
long run.

That's what the statisticians say. Single women in their thirties outnumber
single men in their thirties by a fair degree. It has something to do with
women more likely to marry older men than men marrying older women.

In fact, I have this friend who's 36, recently come off a long term
relationship, likes RPGs, animation, and travel, and who is going to GenCon
with us for the first time this year...
