4Player-"While gaming is becoming more prevalent among women thanks to Smart phones (I mean, let’s be real here, Angry Birds and Temple Run have done a lot more for attracting players than Demon Souls ever has ) we’re still a minority when you consider the numbers. There is still a stigma against gaming (I would never in a million years admit to my coworkers how much I play) and the stereotype of the socially inept shut-in is a big hurdle to fight against when it comes to attracting new people. I’ve heard a number of gamers bemoan that they are are in a constant battle with their significant other (usually a girlfriend) over gaming and really wish they would give it a try and see how fun it can be. Thinking back to how I got into gaming and how I’ve shared it with roommates and boyfriends in the past, I’ve come up with guidelines that, if followed, give you the greatest chance of bringing your significant other over to the dark side."

I'm a gamer and proud of it. I don't care if people at work or my neighbors know. I also watch comic book and scifi movies and TV shows and used to collect comic books (before it became crazy expensive hobbie...need to save money for more games). Sure the other 40+ year old women look at me like I'm crazy but who cares I have a job and own my own home, I can do whatever I darn well please.....until the dogs tell me I have to go outside into the light. I do have to stop gaming for that.....sometimes....
