Women at DnD sessions

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.

help pls?

I play with girls all the time and consider two of them to be among the best people I've played with. The girls I play with are always really engaged with the plots I construct.

Guy or girl, you NEVER bring your significant other to the gaming table. Even if they're not coming just to spend time with you despite having no real interest in the hobby (which is most of the time), it creates unfair alliances between characters due to out-of-character reasons, and god help you if one of them in the GM's significant other.

Just don't do that shit to begin with. Find another group.

you can try get them interested (pander to them or something) or tell them to fuck off.

not gonna fault them for wanting to spend time with the hubby, trying out his hobbies and trying to make his friends her friends too

but if you don't have fun with a game, you shouldn't play it.

the best roleplayer I ever had was a woman and the worst DM but I blame Undertale infection on that

Indeed, I'd have no issue with that (if that was the case). I just want to play with players, but the girls at these games could hardly be called that. Yes they made characters, yes they sometimes engaged in the game, but you can just tell they are not enjoying themselves, so why are they there? If they were "engaged with the plots" I wouldn't be making this post.

Should I say something? I'm concerned the group would just not invite me (even tho I consider myself one of their best players at the table).

Yeah, this isn't a "women at the table" problem. This is very distinctly a "fucking putz brought their SO to the table" problem.

If the couple didn't like, meet through D&D or something one is always going to be a tagalong.

>it creates unfair alliances between characters due to out-of-character reasons, and god help you if one of them in the GM's significant other.

I can honestly say this DID happen often during the campaign. ESPECIALLY the DM's wife.

I will consider looking for another group. Thank you for the response.

D&D doesn't really give you narrative control unless GM fiat or Wizard, which is probably why the women are twiddling their thumbs.

How bored to tears would you bored to tears their bored to tears?
