Most people just don't understand things outside their own comfort zone. The Gamestop near me is pretty cool. Although I don't see to many other females in the stores buying games while I'm there, I'm treated very well.
I can tell some people at work think it's childish, but that doesn't bother so much.
I'm 35 and have always been a strange female. I grew up on metal music in the 80's, loved horror movies, played guitar, did video games, and now play drums in a band. I never wore makeup, enjoyed shopping for clothes, shoes, etc. BORING. In fact I found out recently that for a while my family questioned my sexuality and whether I would ever get married because of my strong Tomboy interests. My husband does question my gaming sometimes, he thinks it's bad for me because I play instead of sleeping enough at times. At least he means well.
Anyway, funny story. I used to visit my grandma and stay with her a week every year. She was a VERY DEVOUT Christian. One night I left out my Stephen King book, The Eye of the Dragon. When I came down stairs the next morning I saw her bible laying open by the chair with my book laying on top of it. She then lectured me on how that stuff was evil and showed me in revelations that the dragon was the devil. Good Times. :)
