It's funny, my wife maintains a fandom webpage and forum for the Xeno series. Y'know, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Xenoblade. The fandom, at least as represented by the users on that forum, appears to be predominantly female. They have a running joke that there are no boys on the internet. Many of them have talked about how other spaces they inhabit on the internet women out number men by a decent ratio, and these are forums and boards based around things like gaming, anime, and comics. I've noticed that the specific fandoms and subjects of the boards they use have very strong lead females (The Xeno series in particular has a ton of them, Elly, Miang, Kos-Mos, Shion, MOMO, etc.). Even when this isn't the case, they still make spaces that cater to their particular wants and amusements as it relates to their fandom. Also, when guys on forums say "lelnogrrlzondaintarbutt" it's usually in a space that's pretty abrasive toward women in the first place. So what would any self-respecting nerd do in that situation? Make their own damn sandbox that's much less hostile.

This is why I married a woman that plays with me. Â She runs a healer on FFXIV, has run pretty much every healing and damage class in WoW, but she REALLY loves Diablo. Â Seriously, she's in love with her witch doctor. Â So when I get home, and I say I just want to put on some pajamas and play some D3, she's already ahead of me.

I have a great life! Â

Heck, I wish I could get anyone I know to play D3 with me!

Chatting up the ladies.
