Hey, not saying this goes for all guys, but there are some who are like that.  Another thing is that while there are some guys who say "Man, I wish I could find a girl who is a hardcore gamer!" and when they finally find that girl, who happens to be...a little "too guy-ish"....then some guys have an attitude as well.

Yes it's true there are definately guys like that (and it's really lame,) I definately agree with you Meryl, but as you said, not all of us are like that. I can understand you and Rei's frustration. Something as enjoyable as videogaming shouldn't have this stigma attached to it, I mean movies certainly don't! Well, actually you could argue that there's the opposite problem with movies...if a guy happens to like a movie that is considered a "chick flick" he is dubbed too sensitive. So what if I like a good romantic comedy every now and then! SHHHHH...don't tell anybody
OK...I'm digressing...but, even though it's discouraging that some guys are like that I would say don't be afraid to be yourselves and talk abotu videogames all you want and beat our asses at them, too. I don't think it will ruin your image in the end one bit. That just doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, it's annoying when anybody comes over and starts beating your ass at a game you own so maybe it's not necessarily cuz it might be a girl.
All I'm saying is I think this a relatively silly thing to worry about for both guys and girls and we both have to work to push the envelope to be open about our videogaming! I have a dream people!
