Yeah, it's not a clever or new observation to point out that the men who are mad they can't meet women are the same ones who make being a woman in nerdy spaces suck, especially online gaming (but also plenty of irl spaces, my ex was a female magic the gathering judge and oh boy did she get treated poorly). But it is something still worth mentioning. This also gets worse when genuinely nerdy women are anything other than the equivalent of the worst stereotypes of nerds. When you ask the question why wouldn't some women of all sorts have been Tolkien heads or been playing ttrpgs since they were teenagers (or have always wanted to try), or been gaming since they were kids, then this behavior gets even more absurd. If led Zeppelin could be super into Tolkien, why can't Billie Eilish be a gamer? If Henry Caville can be as nerdy as he is, why can't a similarly attractive actress be equally nerdy? If some of the guys at the game shop grew into their face and got into working out, why should you assume that that's not a possible story behind a pretty woman who decides to come in?
