The problem is, if you're like me, you're wondering "Can I find a woman who will satisfy my desire to play left 4 dead until the Yule logs burn low, snow blocks the exits to your home, and you're forced to call work to say you're not going to be in until the spring thaw?
I hate to categorize people, but since it is you who has created the category, I can with conviction say most of the girls I know would, and most of those would join me in doing so. However, this is because I tend to meet girls who have at least some interest in video gaming or any other variant of gaming (cards, role-playing, etc.). And this, my friends, this is because I go to conventions. Now, I know what you are all (or more realistically, only a few of you) thinking: those events are just packed with smelly, greasy teenagers and nerds. Well, here in Sweden, they are NOT. I repeat; NOT. As a matter of fact, the girls (and guys) who gather and participate in these events are those of social skills and courage, which allows them to do so. (those who do not have it quickly learn. saved a lot of lives, it has.)
Perhaps this is because most of the conventions held here are not overly huge, and perhaps it is more because they attract a wide variety of people with many different interests. See, conventions are normally centred around a LOT of things, such as Japanese popular (or more historical) culture (most common) with the VAST variety of activities it offers, music, gaming, all kinds of other social, mental and physical games to play and sometimes even martial arts and philosophy, and I do not know a single association that profits from any of it, though I do know of some that has donated to various causes in the world. The
absolute core of them all is to socialize however, and anything we do besides that are just means of getting an excuse to do so. To facilitate it.
Post Scriptum: I can also add that to most conventions more girls attend than guys. I would say it is because girls are more social, at least in this group of people with these interests. So sayeth my vast experience. (no, really. it IS vast. amen.)
Also, I have always had a lot of girls as friends. I think I have been lucky to find so many that are reasonable and intelligent, whereas I must have been unlucky in that aspect when it comes to guys. Figures. Probably has a lot to do with where I have lived. In any case, girls are a lot more reasonable, and, most of all, understanding and compassionate. That goes double for all the geeky and/or nerdy ones I know.
I love you so much, you amazing, wonderful idols of love.

Ok, now I killed the seriousness. I hope no one thinks I am not serious because of this. 'Cause I am. I am actually a bit angry. Oh well, peace out.
This babbling was brought to you by sleep-deprivation.
Insomnia: for when you really need to degenerate someone!
Still very serious though.
