  I mean, is it trying to be one of the guys, or is it simply enjoying a hobby that is predominantly male? There’s a big difference between a pickme and someone who simply enjoys a hobby.

    I took that as “trying to get along/fit in, with a predominately male group”.

    It would seem that you took it as more of “trying to get ‘in’ with a boys club”.

    I don’t think either interpretation is wrong, per-se, but one does have a bit of a more negative tone to it, IMO.

    Far be it for me to tell you what to think, or that your understanding is wrong. Bluntly, it was a fairly poor choice of words on the commenters part.

      They responded to my comment, basically directly confirming my interpretation.

        That’s fair. Maybe I’m just too optimistic.

      What is it about role-playing that’s strictly masculine? Like, why does the group have to be gendered.

        Not a psychologist so cant say. Just one of those things guys find attractive and want to be involved in. Appeals to our drive for adventure would be my guess

  Men will literally blame anything but themselves for their own behavior. Wild.

    Right because no woman ever has ever blamed hormones for her behavior
