Hey guys, first let me just say, this isn't a women bashing thread, it's much the contrary.
I've been attending a DnD campaign once a week for a few months. It was a great campaign, I had a great time. However, I couldn't help but noticing how the females that joined the DnD sessions were bored to tears, especially near the end when the game got more complex/meta.
All of these girls are either the wives of players (one was the wife of the DM) or the girlfriend of a player.
Now, I'm happy to just be sitting there playing in a campaign, but I couldn't help noticing that these poor girls look bored to tears. Some have their heads face down on the table, others will wander away from the table to go sit on the couch and just play games on their phones.
I personally feel the entire game would be more enjoyable if all the guys (who were the most entertained by the campaign/story would just do it.
But what really gets me is how NOBODY is addressing the elephant in the room. These girls are clearly bored to tears and uninterested, but both them, and their men don't acknowledge it care to.
So week after week I have to watch these girls "pretend" to like DnD (even though NONE OF THEM would admit that this is what is going on).
My question is:
Have any of you had any similar experiences?
If so, what did you do?
And a reminder, I have nothing against women. If these girls were into DnD, I'd think nothing of it. Also, I notice they tell there boyfriends/husbands afterward they have fun and enjoyed it, but clearly this is false, and the guys either ignore the truth, or are oblivious to how their spouses/girlfriends are doing during the game; I believe it's the former.
In advance, I appreciate the advice/responses.
