    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.

        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
