I'm quite the social networker and I sometimes visit the SIGames Community Forums for Football Manager discussion.
Anyway, I found a Football Manager singles thread (link here, you may need to be a member to see it) and found the below hilarious:
The thread continues with men talking about their frustrations of their significant other's lack of understanding with their love for the game (Football Manager, not football itself!) - and it all just reminds me of something I've had to deal with before, which became the following rant:
It 'ruins lives' apparently and is a silly little dot game. All in good humour of course.
Now though, the game is a little less sexist - You can be a "female manager" now and there are, apparently, girl players of the game. It is too, a little bit more real - still dots but now a 3D view too, so all the more exciting.
Of course, I would say that having played the game in its many versions since I was 8. It is true that it ruins lives, relationships and has been cited as a reason for a divorce (apparently)
Looking for a female player of this game must be very rare, and I must say I don't think it'll ever happen for those looking for it.
Otherwise, it's probably best to lead a 'double life'...
