Am I the only one who, upon seeing the phrase "D&D free only" in a personal ad, thinks the person isn't interested in gamers?

LMAO... that's the first thing I was thinking too. Took me almost 5 minutes to figure out what D's they were talking about.

See! See! Not just me. Okay.

i can't think of what else it might be.

Drug & disease.

Which sounds like a counterculture version of Dungeons & Dragons, anyway.

Yeah, i think I playtested something like that a couple years back.... ;)

No, that would be my first thought too. But all those abbreviations in ads always throw me for a loop :-)

*blink* There's someone who uses the Most Holy abbreviation for purposes other than those the Gods of Gaming intended it for? Heresy! Blasphemy! Right-wingers!

No, I'm with all your other respondents. Even when I was reading a lot of personal ads, one after the other, I still always have to stop and think about that one.

And I haven't played D&D since I was in high school.

heh, I was thinking games too...

...is that someone who would put that in their ad clearly does NOT automatically think associate "D&D" with gaming....and therefore is probably not someone I wold be interested in, anyway.

I don't have a physical "type" at all, not even gender exclusive. But I always date geeks. There is an IQ test to get in these pants **grin**

Amen to that! You must be this smart to ride this ride.

Might I suggest that the two of you look at this entry?

It talks about sapiosexuality; that is, being turned on by intelligence.

HA! Nope, I'm with you all the way...
Tuesday, August 20th, 2002 09:21 pm (UTC)
never would have guessed it. but then I am a gameaholic, and clueless to begin with.
Tuesday, August 20th, 2002 09:47 pm (UTC)
That was my first thought. =:)
Wednesday, August 21st, 2002 01:16 am (UTC)
Hey, my thoughts exactly, I couldn't figure out what else it was. *chuckle*
Wednesday, August 21st, 2002 05:53 am (UTC)
Not only did I think that, but I had absolutely no idea what "D&D free" meant until someone posted it in your comments.
