Anybody ever get their significant other to come out to the field, gear up, and skirmish?

My wife doesn't come, but my 16 year old daughter does! She loves it!

 

[reezo]

My wife has to be pulled out of any well-made, huge, badass airsoft store because she suggests me to buy everything, actually not everything but the coolest, most neat stuff..which is incredibly dangerous eheh

She can shoot pistols pretty well, at least she's got the handling and body posture right.

..ok maybe it came out wrong. eheh

My wife doesn't want to hear about it at all, we make before I go to a skirmish!!
But once I show her 2-3 pistols... She liked them!! And once told me that she wants me to get rid of the rifles but to keep my handguns!!

Mine is to busy in the kitchen to have that much fun....

 

[the3rdeye88]

I'm trying to get mine into it. A buddy gave me a plate carrier that is small so it should fit her. I'm gonna wait till it cools off then I'll get her out. She's a gamer anyway so it should take naturally.

I'm trying to get mine to actually come out and play. He is ok with shooting in the backyard at targets, but that is about it for now. He doesn't like guns, so it was a big step to get him to shoot in the backyard.

My wife played her first game of airsoft last month- but it was the hottest day of the year so far, and we had ZERO action, as the OpFor stayed in their location, and we were tasked with defense... but she said she's coming to the next one, cause she needs trigger time.

Crazy redheads... lol!
EDIT- Here's a pic of us that day.

My wife doesn't approve of firearms (real or sim) and put up a fuss when my boys wanted to try airsoft (Wally-World springer pistols). I got dragged into it, and now have an arsenal.
Gave her my Sig Sauer P229 once, and she took great joy in shooting the boys and me... should I read something into that since she 'upped' my life insurance?

A few of the guys' wives/girlfriends at my local fields come out and play.

 

[Killer]

I know of alot of female players at our events. Some are quite the "unusual suspects", as in being all barbie as they arrive, and as soon as they're geared up, they make the guys look like 10 year old kids.

also tried getting my (now) ex gf to play, but instead got things like this:

-Youre in position and enemies are no less than 50 meters from you, when all of a sudden:

Ex: "I need to pee."

me: -"Cant you hold it?"

"No. I really need to go pee. NOW."

-"Ok, fine. but i need to stay here to defend"

"But....I need to go pee?"

-"Yes, YOU need to go pee, so go pee damnit!"

"...*ANGERFAICE OF DOOM D:<*....*walks away mad to go pee*"


So yeah there are some exceptions, but most of em just dont like it.

My girlfriend likes my airsoft guns but I tried playing a backyard game with her and she hated it. She still likes plinking with my bar10 though.

 

[silentsniper]

My girlfriend likes to shoot my MKIV, but doesn't like going to games.

 

[Libelle]

I typically hate when girlfriends come onto the field. That is when they are not airsoft players, but some floozie who can not let go of her man. I mean--I like cigars, but I take them out of my mouth on occasion.

But, they are weak players, and they flinch when the guns shoot and they complain about being uncomfortable while wearing impractical clothing. They stink like candy and attract bugs, and they lack famasciderity in all ways.

The worst is when come near me to talk about hair or because they think I will feel sisterhood with them or something. No words are rude enough to get them to go away fast enough.

So, men, please, please, unless she is truly interested in the sport, do not bring her onto the field. Dump her if you must.

 

[the3rdeye88]

My ole lady definitely does not smell like candy and I mean that in a good way.

 

[Shiftyshooter]

My finacé does support me and she often comes to mil-sim games as a member of the first-aid station or as a member of the catering.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

You have catering at the games??
WOW....

We don't pay for the sites... We play anywhere we like so there's no such organization.

[Shiftyshooter]

Yes, are you familiar with Border War? Protector? Big Combat? Afghanistan? those are 500 + people mil-sim events and if you pay 100 bucks for entry, you can expect some basic food and fresh water.

When an event takes two or more days, it is necessary to keep airsofters happy. You do not want them to leave early, do you? See for yourself:

 

[Masterjuggler98]

My field needs a 25, sometimes 35 dollar entry. It sucks but it is the only field I can find anywhere near me.

 

[~Ranger~]

My ole lady udes to play back a few years ago, then when my mouth got shot and my front teeth got busted,she seemed to stop wanting to,lol.. there were so many people making full auto 500fps rifles, so I cant blame her for stopping.
