OK, so let's cut to the chase:
By using references from the book, can you prove or disprove that Lone Wolf likes girls? I mean, I am just not sure if I have ever seen him so much as turn his head. I understand that he IS trying to save Sommerlund, but you might think that this Kai Lord would turn his head once in a while and say, "nice."

Ahh he kinda likes Qin, but in the RPG books, maybe he's just focused on the mission at hand. I dunno why Joe didn't put any hot ladies in the first couple of books.

I refer you to section 135 of "Dawn of the Dragons."
But yeah...that one passage aside, you're right. But your observation is too limited. It's not just girls that he's not interested in...Lone Wolf doesn't show much interest in anything other than serving Sommerlund, developing his Disciplines, restoring the Kai, and fighting evil. He's got a one-track mind, which is understandable since he's the last obstacle to evil dominating all of creation.

Also, we wonder about the lack of interest in girls because we're adults; I sure didn't pick out that problem as a kid playing the books the first time. It may simply be a marketing decision, given that the main audience at the time was pre-pubescent boys.

I'm only going from a fleeting memory from years ago here, but isn't there a reference in Dark Door Opens to LW showing some small amount of attraction to a particular girl? I don't own the book so can't check to verify, but have this abiding memory of this (possibly entirely false) incident.

Lone Wolf "notices" quite a few girls, judging by the number who are described using subjective language such as "attractive" or "beautiful". He'd even do Serocca, given the chance.

It's a role playing game after all, I think you control who he notices or doesn't!
The legends did indeed have this aspect of his character addressed with an actual girlfriend...until she visited the birthplace and followed a different path. : (

I guess so. But in my experience, it takes a bit of age - not much, but some - to read something like the Lone Wolf series and then think, "Wow, 25 years or so is a pretty long dry spell." But with kids these days, who knows?

If somebody has girlfriend, he is no more LONE... On other hand, if you spend whole weeks strolling through wilderness, jumping from roof to roof and fighting with two weapons simultaneously, would you have energy left for... you know

He also notices a "pretty Noodnic" in Book 2, which is just a touch disturbing. Puts a whole new spin on Animal Kinship.

Not a chance. For a one-night stand with a hot demi-goddess while visiting the Daziarn? Sure! ;D

Well, Lone Wolf's taste in women is apparently questionable. In Book 2, the woman spinning the Cartwheel game is described as attractive. But take a look at the pic of her: www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/02fotw/ill14.htmNot exactly the sort of woman I'd find attractive. But then again, after spending all that time in the wilderness....

I forgot all about that pretty young female Noodnic! ;D Another aspect of Lone Wolf - his age - back in 1984 when I was reading "Flight From the Dark", I was only 8 (!) and Lone Wolf seemed to me like a "grown up" - certainly his picture on the front cover seemed to be that of an adult, and he had very long hair... ...but I remember reading in a Newsletter that he was supposed to be 15 or 16 in MS5050? Mind you, when I was 8, I still thought 16 was grown up anyways. Looking back on it, 16 is but a child LOL

Man that "chick" spinning the wheel of fortune has a huge forehead....I would go as far as to say a "fivehead". I would definitely do the cat chick from the Daziarn. Afterall she's gotta be hard up after her beau was turned in to a Martian.
