I found it to be the exact opposite. I am a Marine Combat Veteran and now SWAT Officer in the civilian world. The primary reason I chose paintball over airsoft is because almost all the airsoft players I met took it waaaaay too seriously. Everyone runs around with rank structures on their team talking trash about how much they "train" and acting like they are actual warriors. It made me gag. I started playing speedball and so far everyone I've met has been very laid back and extremely nice.
If you find airsoft more to your liking, good for you. I'm not saying it's a bad game either, just not for me.
