You are treating this as though it is an uncommon occurance.

So I walked into a Half-Priced Book's store the other day and just wandered around, staring at ridiculous deals (please give me money for this HPB), when I found the RPG book section.
Stooping down, I searched through the books, looking for whatever suited my fancy.
Found a copy of Rift's, stared at it, and promptly put it down. Then found a copy of Shadowrun 2nd Edition, and started reading it.

A girl walking by stops and starts a conversation with me, giving me her number as she leaves so I can play a game with her.

I made my way over to the water fountain, GURPS book in hand (I had never gotten ahold of one, so it felt like it was time), and started a conversation with a girl there about GURPS.

She gave me her facebook and cellphone number.

At this point a little bewildered (and a little afraid my girlfriend might have a few choice comments about me returning home with multiple girl's numbers), I approached the checkout counter, where I again talked to a woman about roleplaying games and left with a number.

Now either I'm some sort of pimp, or women have started outnumbering male roleplayers in my area.
Any similar experiences?



Well, at the very least you got yourself a gaming group. I figure best case scenario you got yourselves three girlfriends.

Oh, certainly not uncommon, I guess more of a gleeful pointing out of something that should be praised (or not, I'm not sure whether it's a good or bad thing)...

It's more like a black hole. We're not sure if it's benevolent or malicious, but by god it's there.

And all we can do is flee it or let it consume us...

Hey guys, I think we answered by the gamer chicks like Kelkesh and not the rest of us. Here's a hint: the answer is in this topic, but it isn't the topic.

I got lucky. My girl LOVES her some Palladium games, because she likes playing Tank Girl style characters that smash and blow shit up. It's because of this that I rarely run them. Lawlz.

Having said that, I always kinda brace myself about female gamers. I'm not sexist but I've had some waaaaaaay bad experiences. Half of the female gamers I've met here in Arizona are tied to the LARP scene, which means some very bad, bad, bad psycho hambeast things. I still have nightmares about some of the LARP scene girls I've met here in town.

So fess up, though. Did this "giving out of the phone number" seem more of a flirty thing or a game thing? Because that sucks for you if it was a "game" thing. Ugh, imagine that? You get a chick's phone number and she goes "Oh wait, hold up. No, I didn't give you that number because I wanted to go out with you. I wanted to get into the GURPS game you were going to run."

I don't know if I could recover from being told that, personally.

Remember your dude lessons: it's never really "no" until one of you is dead. As long as she has a pulse there's always the chance that down the line you'll look more appealing. Be like the spider. Spin your web and wait.
