D&D / videogames.
This doesn’t seem like such a bad thing.
Shouldn’t D&D be sitting on the X-Axis?
Hmm. I wonder where the dot for “golf pro” would be…
Just leanin’ on us nerds lately, huh?
What is the transfer function from # girlfriends to happy, successful relationships?
Well, once she starts playing with your group, you rarely need another girlfriend.
Implying we nerds get any girlfriends. The point for D&D/other nerds should be under the x-axis.
Yeah, but D&D players make better lovers. And they won;t dump you when you’re no longer hot.
I <3 nerds.
SOOO tired of ragging on role-playing gamers. I’m a girl gamer, for one, and have had my share of hawt male gamer boyfriends, thanks. Come out of 1988 please.
Haha, maybe I should start playing D&D to get away from the x-axis…
@ trialsanderrors…haha, poor guy! I can sympathize you could be a PhD student…in which case your gf is likely your dissertation…
I would’ve thought that they’d both be curved lines like 1/x and 2^x instead of just dots.
Btw, if you play a lot of D&D, you might be one of the lucky few that manages to find the elusive “gamer chick”, which would be the only girlfriend you ever need.
My boy played D&D. ^_~
In fact the entire group I played D&D with have had girlfriends. So off the x-axis is right, for all those who say otherwise. (That’s past tense because we still need to set up another campaign.)
And I wanna know that too, m1.
@Beth: Even though there may be good looking guys in MMORPGs and other games, it’s moreso the stereotype that comes with gamers in general. I think this statement is still pretty true.
A majority of girls prefer the athletic basketball player over gamers; that’s just what’s mainstream.
The only single person in my D&D group is female.
Shouldn’t NBA be replaced with “married golfers” though?
Looks like she hasn’t looked at herself.
Look like she hasn’t looked at herself. Typical.
LOL! I thought geeks could take a joke. I’m a girl gamer married to a gamer and I thought it was funny.
Although the stereotype is correct, and funny, there are plenty of counterexamples.
Highschool – We played at Allen’s house. His very cute sister (and sometimes her friends) used to come down to the basement where we played. She liked to sit on my lap while we played and occasionally interrupted with a tickle-fight.
Army – My D&D group would get a hotel room and play all day Saturday while the girlfriends went shopping, then take the girls out dancing in the evening. When my girlfriend got tired of shopping earlier than I got tired of D&D, it resulted in during-game BJs.
College – Gaming conventions. You know those movies about weekends in Las Vegas? Yeah, kinda like that at night: first time I ever had sex in a public restroom, only time I’ve ever gone out with a professional model . . .
I object this comic. I play D&D on a near-weekly basis yet am able to hold a solid girlfriend.
Just a thought. (Perhaps for the ages.)
I think the gamers that are complaining are looking at this from the wrong perspective.
A gamer will typically have the patience (or apathy) to wait for a close match for a relationship. A pro athlete (or anyone with insane wods of money really) will just pick the closest person willing to take off their clothes.
Thus, over time, the athlete may have many hundreds of “girlfriends,” each lasting only until the athlete gets bored/finds someone closer to take off their clothes; while the gamer/geek has only had a handful of long-term girlfriends.

I can attest the validity of this comic, weather or not I accept it
Oh, good grief.
It’s a JOKE!
And before everybody yells, a disclosure. I’m as nerdy as they come; D&D gamer, honor student, hermit, professional writer, thick-as-coke-bottle glasses, overbite, AND was waiting for marriage.
I’ve got kids. Marriage happened.
Yeah, it’s a sometimes-untrue stereotype.
But more than that… IT’S a JOKE!
I thought it was hysterical.
You guys totally failed your humor roll.
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol lol
Agree, Though I must admit my level 16 wizard/sorcerer/ultimate Magus is pretty sexy, nothing says attractive like prepared and spontaneous magic. though 4E players belong in quadrant III other than that spot on!
Hi! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
