I didn't read all the replies, but to the OP I just have to say.. your method actually isn't bad if your goal is just to get laid. But even then, you are just playing games with the insecurities many women have.
If you are interested in being ethical or actually at some point having a relationship with a strong, wise, nurturing, and self-secure woman, you are shooting yourself in the foot proverbial foot.
But then, you may just care about getting laid and not actually care about the women you are fucking with (both literally and figuratively). If you do, well meh. I would only propose that you keep in mind that you might actually feel differently someday. And when and if you do, most such women really aren't interested in man-whores.

I'm reading God, the Jews, and History
These days it seems like I end up reading more nonfiction.

Totally good taste. The only other man I've been in love with besides my husband was also an engineering student (at the time). We're still friends, too - though he decided to be a network administrator instead of a REAL engineer. No wonder it didn't work out - I mean network admin? Please.
Thanks for the welcomes!

Geekforum is TOTALLY a d00d, in spite of the fabulous existance of myself and my sister she-geeks. I posted on the "New Geeks on the Block" forum as requested.

Hello!
My name is Jennfer and I'm a part-time geek. Most people know me as the 30-year-old genial mother of two adorable little girls, a friendly face at playgroup, and an active hand in the local synagogue. I'm a nice Jewish goil.
Little do they know by night or when I am alone, I turn into a raging geek! They know I am married to a tall lanky engineer who wears glasses, but most do not know I met him at our university's science fiction club where we served as co-presidents, or that I have countless bookshelves filled with sci-fi and RPG books, or that my DVR is stocked almost exclusively with doccumentaries and sci-fi television shows. They do not know I play World of Warcraft, sometimes later than I should, or that I still roleplay the part of triple-aspected Earth Goddess on a text-based internet game that I have been involved with for 10 years. They do not know I dabble in C programming soley so I can make the little creatures on my game do my bidding, or that I am secretly writing my own fantasy novel just for fun. They do not know that if what I'm reading isn't fantasy or sci-fi, it probably isn't fiction at all. They sometimes, but not always, know that when I get a rare opportunity for a babysitter, that the reason we go out to see X-Men III or whatever instead of some chick flick really is because we both like it that way!
It's not that I'm ashamed, it's just that most of the friends I see on a regular basis these days just wouldn't understand. Instead, I share with these friends my slightly-more-mainstream interests such as hiking, cooking, sewing, arts and crafts, and training at my local Aikido dojo.
A pleasure to meet y'all.

Wow. Uhm, my husband is an engineer and it took him several hours to build this single rubberband model.  I thought it was kind of neat, but it looks pretty sorry compared to that monster.

I am an Orange County native, and having never been to WorldCon, I decided to go when my friends from the UCLA Sci-Fi and Fantasy Club (I'm an alum), solicited our mailing list for volunteers to run the main live game at the con - A Space Cadet Academy Live Game.
I had.. fun seeing my friends and helping run what was a very cleverly-designed LARP. But the con itself was sort of sad, I have to say. On major problem is that the gaming was COMPLETELY SEPARATED from the main con. It was sort of poorly organized and not a lot of people knew what was going on. I'm glad I was a volunteer and didn't have to pay.
As it so happens, I sort of know the guy who was listed as the director of programming, and that said, I'm not surprised the con turned out that way. When I was a teen (We're talking a good 12, 13 years ago), I worked my first job at a game store in Orange County. This guy was a game-store groupie. He is a strange man, and forgive me for saying, kind of creepy. He had to be at least in his late 30's at the time, and let's just say as a young female sales associate at a game store, I didn't feel entirely comfortable with him. He used to pass me his business card that said he was an "occult investigator", and not the more scientifically-minded kind, I'm sure.
So yeah, when I saw he was director of programming, I knew that con was in for it. But really, who else were they going to get? Sadly I think the age of sci-fi cons is probably a relic of the past.

I'll earn my 'annoying newbie' title and plug a multi-user domain, or MUD, that I've been a part of for wow, over *10 years* now! (I hope the admins will bear with me because this is seriously a completely free, all-volunteer staff, don't-pay-a-dime-for-ANYTHING (that means NO pay for perks) game.) You want to advance your character? You do it in the game, in-character, period. So if you are tired of the MMORPGs and would like something a little more sophsticated, consider trying the Carrion Fields or another MUD. Regarding Carrion Fields specifically, it is a fantasy-themed "all of the above" MUD - playerkilling, roleplaying, and questing. With 10 years of an active staff (and some of us have literally been there all 10 years), we've got quite a few unique features and options for character customization. It's class-based, but your warrior will choose weapon specializations and stylish legacies as he advances. Your ranger will choose a home terrain and a personal combat style. Your invoker can distribute points between a variety of elemental paths. Your cleric will actually have to find a shrine, roleplay through a belief system and a human-controlled deity to become empowered with prayers, and so on. Beyond that, we've got competitive cabals, a legal system, ongonig storylines, and experience not just for hack-and-slash, but for exploration, observation, commerce, and roleplaying. Anyways, give us a visit at www.carrionfields.com - or for the super-geeky, you can telnet directly to carrionfields.com 9999. Also being involved in the MUD scene for so long, I have a familiarity with several other quality MUDs. If you don't think CF is a match for you (you don't like playerkilling or roleplaying or whatever), respond to this thread and I can probably make a good recommendation. Or perhaps someone else has a MUD they'd like to recommend to the geeks looking to get into the original style of online multiplayer gaming. -Jennifer
