Looking on You Tube there seems to be a lot of young women making videos about their favorite science fiction shows, when I was a young man (in the last century) girls were turned off by guys who liked science fiction. My question is, what's happened, and why couldn't it have happened 25 years ago??? 4thDoctors.gif

You have to go to more conventions Sometimes, there are even more women than men. Most of my friends are sci-fi/fantasy fans and I think it really is 50/50. I have been a sci-fi fan since I saw Star Trek on TV (I was 11) and I never thought there was something strange about it.

I'm a was a scifi fan back then but before I found a local fan club and conventions, I didn't know anyone either. But I went to a couple conventions a year in the mid 80's and 90's and there were always more women than men.Last edited by Thunderstorm; 20 December 2011, 02:05 PM.sigpic

I'm in my 40s, and grew up loving science fiction and having lots of friends, both male and female, that loved it. In the circles I was in, it was odder to not like science fiction (and fantasy, such as Tolkien) than to like it. Sounds like you were hanging with the wrong bunch!sigpic

Now, comic books cost too much, but back in the late 60's, early 70's when they were 25 cents or less, I bought lots and lots. They are all sitting in a couple boxes (along with my baseball cards) and I keep saying I'll go thru them to see if they are worth any money. I doubt it though because back then as kids we didn't think about keeping them in good condition to resell late, they are in well-loved and well read condition.sigpic

By the way, who is that woman in your avatar? She looks sort of like Valerie Harper.
The woman in my avatar & sig image is Joanne Kelly from Warehouse 13. She plays Myka and is WAY more gorgeous than Valerie Harper.sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.
