Quoted from Trooper11040:My wife never shows any interest in any of my hobbies...model trains, model planes, ice hockey officiating, part time children's magician, super chexx and now pinball. She never has any interest in it. I bought my first pin 3 weeks ago...a TOM...she doesn't even want to look at it. What have you guys done to get your wife involved in the hobby or even any of your hobbies?
My fiance was kind of indifferent aside from nostalgia from playing her Dad's William's Aztec as a kid. We recently hit two arcades that had 16+ high ranked pins a piece. She played pretty much everything in the lineup but loved LOTR, MM, and WOZ. She also really enjoyed TAF, and WH20 but she kept coming back to the LOTR. I think if you let her try some stuff and let her get a feel for a theme and gameplay that she personally enjoys--that'll help.
