That is a funny pic. If you don't mind, I want to share it! I often say, why don't we have wargaming in the sports section of the news. I like to make subversive suggestions like that. As for the ladies, my experience is that some are fascinated. A lot of women like creative men. The problem is not the hobby but that some men are too obsessed with a hobby to the exclusion of all else and don't read when people are insufficiently interested for them to keep talking about it. The other thing is a minority of women who see it as 'warmongering' but then they are usually so unattractive (mentally and physically) that I wouldn't touch 'em with a ten foot pole.
Think a lot of parteners are just happy we have a hobby that keeps us amused , my wife occassionaly admires my 54mm figures - but dismisses 25's as to tiny !
Hilarious find Tony! I often find that women are fascinated with my toy soldier collection! And you're right, my wife and daughter appreciate that I have such a creative hobby!
He will never have time to get a game going with all of that distraction :-)
ReplyDeleteWould interfer with his painting !
