Clem Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 girl gamers arent THAT rare .... and they are normally cool ok they arent as numerous as us guys buy i thnik thats partly due to games tending to be aimed at guys ..... so it takes a girl with taste (a rarity <hides>) to like it at least this girl isnt slagging us all off while she talks <wants to throttle the girl interviewee> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Spirit Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Girls can play games if they want, makes absolutely no difference to me! Its not as if them being female suddenly means i have a chance with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebelwerfer_ Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Most girls I know dont like violent games ( ie, any FPS) My girlfriend however loves SIMS, Civilization, caesar and maybe a little morrowind. I think its a lack of testosterone that makes girls not like violent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Girl gamers in my opinion are on average a whole heap better than guys. I think the main problem for girl gamers is that most of the 'guys' who play are like 14 yr old virgins who have never had a girlfriend. I kid you not its embarrassing when there is a lady on the server and all the pre-pubescent brats start to flirt outrageously and basicly make utter fools of them self. Some ladies do like the attention but it really is quite sad how some of these desperate lil fellas carry on in the presence of females. I also notice that some people do seem to let girls win when they play them in some misguided attempt to be a gentleman. No woman respects a guy that is letting you walk all over them. I always put in 110 % effort when fighting girls (sorry Lexx;)). The reason being that if they are going to beat me then I am sure they want to win out of their own skill rather than handing the win to them on a plate. In short female players can be particularly ruthless i find (not a bad thing) I really need to keep my eyes open when playing against females. Anyway utmost respect to Lexx and Janedoe, two of the best players I've played and yes it really is a pleasure to fight you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Thank you for your kind comments Jah! It is a pleasure to play you also. This whole subject is hard for me to comment on, the mere fact that there is a thread about it shows the stereotypical feelings towards "females" and games. It dissapoints me grately. The majority of men I play are cool and show me respect but of course there is the minority who think that if they loose to a girl, they are somehow embarresed. I just wish these men or "boys" would stick there d1cks back in there pants and realise females are just as good as males. Why can't they just get on with playing the game to have fun! The most common comment I get is "are you really a girl?". Um yes, just cause I beat you, doesn't mean I have to be male. Respect to all those I play that show me respect!

Pad Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 mostly those guys whinning r playing like a whore. when u kill them they tell u there not ready or other ****. always complaining. i just think that we should be able to play side by side (female - male) and accepts the fact that they could be better than u (respect). i have nothing against females playing games, i think that even more females should play games.

WolfmanNCSU Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I know a good number of female gamers. Its not really all that odd. Even my girlfriend likes comp games. She does not play any of them, other than like solitare, but she likes to watch me play some RPG's when fighting dragons and stuff like that. She just kinda chills and watches TV, chats with me, and plays with my parrot will I blow off steam or do a little game time. Isn't she great.

Darth Slayne Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 My sister is a gamer. The first time I played her was a few years back, we were playing jedi knight. And yes, to my utter shame I went easy on her. Not because she's a female OH NO! I went easy on her because she had never played the game (this is fair enough yes?). I am not ashamed to admit that she owned my sorry butt! All BECAUSE I was easy on her.....never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaulerZ Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I have no probs with female gamers just as long as they show respect to me I show respect back.....about the losing issue i dont care if i get beat.......if i do its by a better gamer Qui-Gon:Theres always a bigger fish.

Darth Groovy Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Originally posted by NerfYoda Geesh.

Oh yeah It'd help if I could somehow get her interested in Star Wars too. Girls that like Star Wars are a scarcity. The last couple of GF I had took great pleasure in ripping them to shreds.

Absurd Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Girls can be downright scarey at times. I was raised with older sisters, and I'm still recovering from the trauma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
