I met my current boyfriend in WoW. Of course, neither of us was actively
seeking a relationship at the time; but I don't see it as really very different from meeting a girl at any social hobby, like a bowling alley or whatever. You have to be a little more careful only because you can never be 100% sure who's behind the screen until you meet them, but it's not all bad
She's right and wrong about some things. I'd been 70 for a while and me and my friends powerlevelled my now-boyfriend from about 40, at that time he was still just a decent friend. So it doesn't matter if you're a leet bleeding-edge main tank, or some level 30 noob who's never seen the outside of Southshore.
In fact, bleeding edge raiders are less likely to get my attention as they tend to be epeen-waving snobs. Not always, but I'd rather go for a guy who steps outside once in a while. But a guy who plays well is definitely a plus; don't want people groaning when I invite my bf to a party cause he'll stink the place up.
And she's got to be kidding if she thinks the way the
avatar looks matters. My ex played a gnome, which I admittedly always teased him about; my current beau plays a big black cow

All matching shiny purps or a conglomeration of quest greens? Who really cares?
Bad grammar/too much leetspeek/lazy typing will not get my respect. Period. Be nice, but not creepy; I've had people armory-ing me daily and sending me upgrades, buff foods, and such when they find out I'm a chick, can you say CREEPY?
I wrote way more than I intended to
