    No, I it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t their thing. They were just clinging to anything stated a moment ago to avoid being silent. Doesn’t just apply to gamers, either, I’ve had women claim to really any number of things they didn’t have much to say about after the fact.

    I’m sure it applies to dudes equally, but I’ve only been hit on by a few men.

      Idk man, someone putting in effort to engage with you about topics you like seems like a good thing. Not something to be irritated about.

      If you purposely pick a topic you know they likely won’t have much to say about, and then get irritated when they try but don’t have much to add…idk. Isn’t that kind of your fault ?

      If you don’t want to chat with strangers at a bar just don’t engage or sit away from others. Most people do go out to drinking establishments to meet people and socialize.

      So they will assume you are there for the same reason.
