Yeah hormones are persnickity things when youre trying to be one of the guys

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

If youreplaying with a bunch of males, yeah youre working on fitting in which makes you one of them

[-] Bob@midwest.social 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

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

[-] AsherahTheEnd@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

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