We were closing down the club last night and there were a couple girls waiting around for their friend who is dating the dj. They are regulars so I don't ever bother them about being in the club after close.

But anyways I was sweeping up the straws and swizzle sticks on the ground and over heard one of them saying to the other she was going to home to play WOW for a couple hours.

My jaw dropped. I teased her saying she shouldnt say such things outloud or risk losing her street cred, and then asked if she was a level 50 yet(I don't even know the levels in wow never played) she said proudly she's been playing for 2 years and is actually a level 70 and that she is also going for her A+ certification a proud computer geek.

Let me tell you boys....this chick has a bangin body and she can dance and shake her ass like no other. *think shakira cuz she is spanish too*

so...yeah...I was wrong there is hope for you WOWzers.

Sorry, she was reading straight from the 'how to weed out a closet geek' guidebook that's posted all over the net. Google it. I'm sure she had no clue what the hell she even said. :p;)

google got me nothing

Probably ripped from the search results by the plethora of geeks at google that are afraid of being outted. Here's a section I ripped from a blog before that was ripped down as well:


How to Weed Out a Closet Geek, Chapter IV:

Upon confrontation with suspected closet geek, suggest you're tired, and are going home to play WoW. A positive identification will solicit challenges to your 'street cred', implying that its better to be a closet geek to hide one's lack of social skills, such as the one you're currently trying to expose. The suspected geek then might follow up with a 'geek status query', questioning what 'level' you are and if your 'up to a 40 yet'. Hardcore subsocial closet geekoids will even ask if you're a '50' yet. At this point do NOT suggest you're anything less than a 60, and if you really want to send him to bed with 'rosie palma and the terrible towel', suggest you're a 70! From this point on, any dreaded closet geek is certain to leave you alone since he'll be to intimidated to ask a '70' for their phone number, muchless risk 'epic fail' by attempting to socialize with you ever again.

A really hot Indian girl (with the requisite hot British accent) I used to work with is also apparently a WOWer - found that out a couple of months ago. She's also a computer engineer.

There are definitely hot chicks that play WoW. We had at least 2 in my last guild. Both had been playing since a little after release and had at least 2 chars decked out in epics.

With a player base of over 8 million, it's bound to happen once in a while...

That's pretty common in my experience (minus the British accent). Indian women don't have the baggage with respect to how women should act. Many are into things like that.

Same reason here. Too much time commitment for something that's not even real. Too much drama, too many aholes, and not much to gain. Forget it.

You do realize you have to get us this pic once you get back home, right? ;) :p :D

Well... sorry but A+ is about the equivalent of knowing how to tie your shoes where computer knowledge is concerned. And I know several hot girls who have that one. Show me a hot chick thats an MCSE and CCNA. Then I'll be impressed.

How is this surprising? With 7 million players or whatever, there's bound to be quite a few attractive wow players.
