Tbh playing Magic the Gathering or Warhammer 40k with random dudes at a hobby store is cheaper and more fun than most traditional dates I've been on.
We need less gender separation in all sorts of social activities
Nobody's stopping women from enjoying MTG or Warhammer
As a woman who has been trying for literal decades to exist in traditionally male nerdy spaces, there are a LOT of asshole gatekeeper guys that keep the women away. I've gotten everything from inquisitions into my "nerd cred" to outright rape threats from guys in nerdy and gaming communities.
Actual guy at gaming table one day: "Man, why aren't there ever any CHICKS at these MTG meets? I wanna see GIRL boob, not MAN boob!"
Someone else: "It smells like 5 types of nutsack in here & every guy in here would eye rape any woman who came in here, that's why"
Original guy: classic nerd laugh "yeah, exactly!"
They don't listen, either. You get a girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, whatever, and they just keep being exactly the same and wondering why it doesn't get better
I fuckin hate em
True, but we need to get women into nerdy hobbies without creepy guys scaring them off
Unless you're doing mainly proxies, MTG is anything but cheap these days. 😐
You 100 percent just fit the stereotype of most Lemmy users. lol
I mean, hey, it's your life, you do you. But that sounds like a horrible life to me.
