Trajan, I know what you mean. My wife took an interest in sailing when I used to go out on a lake near us in a laser or topper and gently wend my away across said lake for an hour or two of gentle contemplation. She got interested so I then had to take up blue-water catamaran sailing which she didnt like as I would deliberately capsize once or twice a session and she said it played murder with her hair......

I used to be the gardener in the household and now she is professing major interest!

IS NOTHING SACROSANCT IN THIS LIFE ANYMORE, NEXT THING I KNOW SHE WILL BE WANTING TO PLAY MEDIAVAL TOTAL WAR OR SEIV?!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Another tactic is to take the wife/fiancee/girlfriend to a Barry Manilow concert ahead of time, thus building up goodwill (aka "brown-nose points") http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

BTW - all you single, 30-50 year old males here, one of the best ways to meet lots of women your age is to attend said Barry Manilow concert. High female:male ratio, and they'll all be impressed that you showed up. Of course, you'd have to listen to Barry sing... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif (so what's Barry the T-Rex's Last name again? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif )

If you want to meet more women, find a girlfriend who likes women as much as you do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Do you really think women would be interested in a sensitive guy who shows up alone at a Barely Manenough concert?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yea, but her girlfriends were always sexier than mine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

RD wanders in holding the wifely permission slip and slips his in to growltiggas hands. Me and my gf have been dating a month so we're pretty much safe for now, GT its gonna be harder to escape cos You'll have to escape with gt junior in the future...

Imagine it, A WIFE playing SEIV, forcing you off the computer to submit her PBW turn, you spend countless hours pacing and stalking the sitting room as she hogs the pc, the horror, the horror!!!

Then whenever GT gets his time on space empires he'll have to teach GT Junior to never trust an omnipotent stock AI Race and always get on good relations with empires bigger than your own.

Ahhh the joys of being young, order me and timstone a brewski taz, we're safe for years muhahahahahaha

Wardad, You have to find one that shares.

OK, I guess I'm the lucky one here. My wife is a workaholic, so I have my afternoons pretty much to myself (before Erax Junior comes along, anyway). And she's a gamer, so I can usually get the 'slip' for a night of boardgaming with the guys (sometimes she goes too, sometimes she doesn't).

And she doesn't like Barry Manilow... the Last show I took her to was the Leningrad Cowboys. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

There is a downside... she does spend quite a bit of 'our' money...
