Aaahhh, female Geeks. There's nothing like making an inadverdant Stargate or Tolkein reference, observing a flint of recognition in a girl's eyes, and realizing: Even though this woman is absolutely gorgeous, she so used to be a geek! dangus, meet Xenalyte.

Actually, this wasn't D&D; it was a card game called "Magic."

You're just an uppity geek.

I played off and on from age 9 - 14. Then I found out about chicks.

Geek girls are the best girls. I married one who used to organize SF conventions. Still is the best girl.

I graduated to Traveller early on and never looked back. Hell, I still play (and I'm 40).

I gave it to a Paladin, sorry dude. Don't forget all your playboys in the drop ceiling.
If you wanna come over later for Ho-Hos and Mellow Yellow you can come over till 9. Thats when my mom says you have to leave.

The kids are still playing that. I know a lot of middle-school kids that play.
Its just another competitive game though. No imagination in it.

It's the Devil's game, I tell ya. The Devil loves to get the souls of geeks. Satan got to young geek Bill Gates to form Microsoft so that our computers could all be possessed with demon software that fails constantly.

Well, I'm a gorgeous woman who still is a geek, then. Unfortunately for you I'm married. ;-)

MM:
I've "met" Xenalyte in the FR fora before. Good call. It's just that there's nothing past tense about Xenalyte's activities.
If we ever happened to land in the same neck of the woods, I do think it'd be a kick to get to meet her in person.
XL:
Don't mean to be rude by talking about you.

Let's face it: It's great for a guy to able to let the inner Geek out with a woman. Geeking out is fun!
(But just for the record: Participation in a forum like FR is a moderately good hint of being a Geek.)

But you never know when they'll cross the line from fun-crazy to restraining-order crazy.

Ah those wild and crazy geek girls.
They are, unfortunatly, usually in the minority.
My rather large breasted sister-in-law once walked with me into a "Games Workshop" (a geek emporium). There were slack jawed young geeks staring with unrolled dice cuped motionless in their hands.
I said "Human, female. Frequency of occurence: for YOU, RARE. Armor class -5 so back off."

I have advised my daughter that being a geek is a very good thing - and she shows every sign of being one, she's 8 and reading Heinlein. She'll have her pick of boys.
