Well, the first part is at least because serious model train geeks are 
*way* scarier than gaming geeks.

The second part I dunno about; I figure that has more to do with my age 
than my gender.

Well, yeah.  There are non-male roleplaying games out there, but that's 
different.  I don't like those, by and large.
