I don't know, there aren't a lot of women in our store either (it's mostly the shopkeep's daughter, his wife and 1 or 2 others that play warhammer or board games), but I've never actually seen the "girl comes in => lots of drooling geeks" stereotype. Maybe some people here just need to go to a different store ;) .

Cheers,
Bodacious.

our regular gamers up until two weeks ago were all around 15 - 17 years old and used to decend on mass to the store so there would be 10 or 11 of them there at a time, an it wasnt as much drooling as standing there transfixed (in fact if they hadn't been breathing i may have thought they had all been turned into stone). i dont know if it is shock at seeing a girl or seeing a girl in the store but when 11 people are jsut staring at you i cant blame her for feeling uncomfortable..
Daniel cannot possibly exist in a dimensional state.

Recent studies show that people who have attempted to comprehend Daniel have either disappeared, died spontaneously, or driven themselves into a pertinent state of insanity and/or catatonia.

yeah lol, made me laugh when a girlzor would come in (probably some kids older sister) an everyone would look up, try an work out what they were looking at, and then give up and go back to discussing how beardy such and such a magic item set up was, if with a few glances around to see if the unidentified creature was still there :P .

thing is though, could you imagine what it'd be like if your store had like, an equal proportion of chaps an lasses? i think it'd be really weird lol, hmm, thinking about it, i think i prefer it a no girlzor zone lol :P

Yep, still female  Even though I can't actually vote...


*Decker_cky chuckles at the potential in that comment


Ha. Not if you wanted to live you wouldn't. Even in the small minority that are girls here, I'm thinking that really would offend. Most likely you wouldn't see Christmas :P




Anyway, I'm off to the local GW today (Y) So I shall let you all know how it goes =P

(Mostly) Overatted.

There is a rather prominent member of the Sydney gaming scene (I don't think WHFB is one of their games) who before he became a she was a member of the Australian Regular Army. As the song goes: "plucked her eyebrows, shaved her legs & then he was a she" ... oh, and did have the complete rip & snip. Her army career was one of the suddenly obsolete attachments discarded during the operation.

She is now a very vocal, strident & obvious - to - the - point - of - being - provocative lesbian (but definately not lipstick!).

By the way, I really find polls like this utterly irrelevant. I relate to nobody as males or females here - only as gamers.

i know a few females of various ages and although they dont game some of them are amongst the best painters i have met or seen (the green eyed monster visits on a regular basis when i see their models) i have even considered getting them to paint my armies for me but decided they were mine and would only truly be mine if i mess up the painting all on my own..lol

as to just seeing everyone as gamers on here... even knowing now who are male and female i wont change the way i talk or act to anyone (this is the only place my skaven identity can develop properly without me getting wierd looks or when in store being asked to give all the dice back (what can i say im a horder!)

I agree! I'm mean, hateful, and conniving to males and females alike as well! :P

Yeah, it's still fun to kick ass at tournaments though. Few people expect women to be bloodthirsty backstabbing bastards who likes to grind their armies to dust in close combat with a horde of hungry rats.

Aaahhh good times.

Honestly I think it is more a teenage issue than a gamer issue. Of course some people stay thirteen their whole lives so...
I am currently writing an epic Dragon Age 2 adventure that can be found HERE!! or on my deviantart.

female, well i was when i got dressed and showered this morning :) however I do tend to blend in when i go to my two local stores as I never dress like a girl and give guys a scare when i start to speak. i know quite a few girls as they are in my gaming club and even stranger still one of them works in the city store and has been a Tau player for a year and has two sepreate Chaos armies as well as a woodelf army (which I always loose against at club tordies) but i used to paint models trains and cars and well a boyfriend whos into warhammer helps ease the transition and well i'm more crazy about the game than he is :P

Thats a term for male I read in some woman em-powerment book.

And dont ask why I was looking through a woman's em-powerment book.

So, yeah I'm a guy, and yet oddly I am not allowed to vote on the poll
