See, there's the problem... I don't drink alcohol. I've got the top of the line Margarator and only use it to make Icees. I can't stand the taste of beer or wine, and if I drink anything I get sleeeeeepy...

I would never force anoyone to drink, especially if medical or faith factors in. That said; practice makes perfect....

She plays, has played competitively in leagues, won a tournament, suggests games we should buy. It's pretty awesome!

Still love ya Blonde. You can be our DD.

not married, but gf loves pinball, plays in league with me, comes over and plays my pins all the time, just put a pin in her basement, she loves having one at home, was super excited to get one to play at home.

What did you get her ?

Yes... Poorly...I almost asked for a divorce when she said she hates Cirqus Voltaire, but she is a true champ and will play for hours, when the DVR is empty! Seriously though, she likes pinball, she likes me, and our 3 year old son loves to "teach" Mommy how to play and still quotes TAF to us.
"Well played Thing!..."

The reason we have a pin is the missus!
Although I think I've surpassed her in general knowledge but she has always been a casual player in games.

My wife plays pinball but prefers to go shopping! june_2012_019.JPG

Yes and beat me like a red headed stepchild on Wh20 this evening

Heh. I don't have any female friends locally.

By "a lot" I mean the 5 females that come over maybe a few times a year. Lol. We are boring anti-social people who occasionally invite people over for holidays, so it is mostly family and girls I work with or my renters. I have had open houses here for my side business and people will go down to the gameroom, say they love pinball, then refuse to play. Oh well, their loss. I need more and better friends it seems.
Sharon, if you're ever in the area, come on over and we'll play.

Wife will play a game or two but only to be polite.

Most definitely. All our friends think we're crazy, but my wife is 100% on board with pinball. We have 2 machines in the living room of our 1 bedroom apartment.

Ha, I don't feel so bad now. We've moved a lot so friends drop off the radar and such. My best friend from 1st grade is a guy, but he lives on the other side of the country from us. His wife is really cool, she'd play. My other friend is about 6 hours south, she'd play as well. My older two kids don't play but my youngest does if I can pry the laptop from her hands.

The offer goes both ways, let me know if you're ever in my area too

My wife beats me on every game we have except JM (I am Grand Champion and always have been on this game). She owns me on Baywatch, Tommy, JD, Wipeout, Maverick and LW3. In fairness to me though she has told me that pinball was her main gig after school growing up. Always hung out at the arcades playing them. I on the other hand did not play until way later in life...basically about 2 years ago (when I was 48). It is fun watching her play though. It does not bother me because she really is good.

Great plan.

My wife plays rarely. She will play a pin frequently when we first get it, but that only lasts a few weeks. Overall, she does love the game room and wouldn't have it any other way.

Plays all the time! Loves our new X Men LE! She's pretty good too. Next two pins on here list to purchase are: WOZ & ACDC
Second pic is her nudging. Lol

My 13 year old plays, but my 21 and 23 year olds don't. (not wives, but young women all the same) The 23 year old doesn't live at home, but the 21 year old says "pinball is stupid". I'm planning on having her drawn and quartered next weekend.

My wife will play if I can get her down to the basement(man cave). She thinks that slapping the flipper button hard will make the flipper hit the ball with more force. before we were married, I played HS and she played Fire! at the local bowling alley.
