Female gamers don't exist. Just like female paintballers.
I call BS!
:p
See female gamers, female paintballers and female airsofters quite a lot. Don't under estimate the ladies, but I'm glad to see some female gamers. Have a friend who is trying to get on the beta, she really badly wants to play - she has WOW too :)
I use to play a little paintball back in High School.
That's cool, I know a lot of girls that play both airsoft and paint ball. They are pretty good at the games and they remind me of girls who play halo :). Not to be trifled with!Quote:

Last gal I played games with was pretty handy with a shotgun. I, uhhh, stopped making fun of her after she quoted Tali: 'I have a shotgun'. Quite charming.
Oi guys dont hijack her thread, and also, I didnt giggle once reading the posts in here.
Both my guild in WoW and in SWTOR where 30-50% female, so dont be silly, if you absolutely have to be daft, be daft about something else!
yep i'm not joking, there are a lot of girl gamers. Some games I get overhelmed e.g. haloQuote:

Guys cut out the softer and more interesting converstaions that girls could/would be talking about by being complete *******s to them. WHY!!! grrrr....so thank you *******s for not allowing my gf to enjoy some time on xbox live with me. now i have to sit here and watch soap oprahs instead of blasting skulls.
I know a ton of Female Gamers lol Mostly from my side of the Twitter CommunityQuote:

Actually this is very true for us older gen players, not many women near our age openly game on shooters outside of CoD or the MMO World of Warcraft as it's very frustrating. Guys like us on the 360 and maybe PS3 even get alot of pre-judgement from our fellow female gamers, even though some of us are very mature but because of all that sort of bs we dont even get so much as a "hello?" .... I just wish we could all get along and game. As I've always thought video games are meant to be shared with others no matter their gender or ethnic backgrounds. Heck I've been mistaken as a "white knight" just for saying something nice only the one time in defense of just playing fair and so I didn't have to mute my whole team. I believe in working with your team mates and having fun, what happened to just enjoying the game? Geez.Quote:

However, If what you have said is true, then every shooter I played would be full of them regardless of platform the games are on with PC aside kind-of. As on PC I think most Female gamers are still on WoW. I'm only being skeptical, but I would jump at the chance to finally just have us all get along plain and simple. As Video Games are meant to be fun, entertaining, and shared with everyone. They are a point of social interaction that is all about the experiences it entails. These experiences are what make you unique, which connect you in a way not possible before the xbox. I also believe in being to able to share that with anyone you wish but when you cut out half the other gender, then you have lost the other half of the population and the ability to share those cool moments with them. It then makes us all feel a bit Xenophobic in a sense. I only think that it's odd that offline away from my 360 I can approach more women than on it. It's not easy to tell who is a gamer either out side of the 360 or PS3 obviously. On the 360 for me it just takes that barrier away and allows for simple play with millions of others. Why cant that experience include women too? It's just silly as I feel cheated of friendships that could had been. So yeah, what If I just want to be a friend with someone? Then I should be able to. Sometimes we all just need to have a place to "crash n chill" or basically "escape" reality. Anyway I never have looked at a video game console as a dating machine but I cant say that it wont happen someday but I'm not going to solicit every female gamer out there to do it, I'll let them come to me instead if it happens, it happens.
I know that my list has consisted of male gamers 98.99% for the longest time for the past 10 years. I just like to play with older gamers near my age as I'm 24, I look for those around 17 and older. As kids tend to get on my nerves as they come in droves when you have even just the one. It can get annoying. It's those darn 12 and 13 year-olds I tell you. I just feel like if I'm in a M rated title that I should have a list where I can act like an adult if you wanted to know. I just know that there are alot of younger female gamers that have CoD as their primary game for the 360 or Ps3. There isn't anything wrong in liking CoD as a game or series, its just in my opinion that there are far better shooters out there and why be stuck to just one game entirely as that could get repetitive and dare I say boring. I know I have played tons of different games and because of this variety style of gaming I have never gotten bored once.
Here is food for thought Female Gamers:
I don't understand. Why don't you just mute the jerks and/or leave to go to another match? Play with those that are willing to get along, or this just leads to more drama unless you go xenophobe mode which I don't recommended. Use the ratings system on the 360. Think and utilize what the 360 gives you. Ps3 has mute as well. On PC? stay away from Ventrillo, team-speak and that "M" something. I recommend to get Skype and use that with people you know and trust.
I know I have had my share of mutes now and then and if you change you mind and want to change the mute to unmute you can do this through the scoreboards in-game or from the 360's home button and muting the tag with x under recent players/friends. I could go on and on about what Female Gamers could do like the rest of the daily pop does. I mean no offense by that. I'm only implying that women being more social than guys should speak up and play the games they want to without feeling like they have gotten a bad end of the bargain. As you can mute the "idiots/jerks" thank the gaming gods for mute buttons/switches.
If you already do this then that is cool, props for being epic already. I just dont hear of this being used by many female gamers often. is all.
Also:
@OP
I have no idea what the point of this thread was, but I got no issue with female gamers just fyi. I just dont know what else to say to you at this time. If you want a compliment then: "You Rock!" :]
To be honest I really haven't had an overly large amount of bad experiences with males. Yeah, maybe I have seen sexist comments typed in public chats in MMOs but none of them were directed to myself or any other person.
I just tend to not care. >.>
I haven't seen a lot of sexist people when playing xbox more so on PC, though we encounter the sexist gamer "MAK ME R SAMMICH WORMENS." We mute and report. Simple. A lot of jerks and people out there don't let them ruin a experience.
(I'm not a girl o. o I just play with female gamers a lot.)
I'm just glad to play the game, it doesn't matter who you are as long as we have fun. As long as everyone leaves the nasty comments at the door it should be fine. I'm glad that we do see girls and that gaming isn't just for the dudes and that the "gaming culture" is changing
Half expected to see pictures of some dude posting pics of himself asking for hot girls to add him lol. Glad to see that is not case. Maybe this community can maintain it's sanity from stuff like this.
On the other hand, i never use the "make me a sammich" unless in a joking way. The reason being is i make a killer sammich and would not want to taste anything inferior!!
In other news, a woman is hit by a car on 5th and Main. The vehicle was being operated by a blind man with an invalid drivers license. I'm sure all our viewers are wondering the same question.....WHAT WAS SHE DOING OUT OF THE KITCHEN?
can you stop with the kitchen jokes, getting old real fast
Try reading more then the last line please.Quote:

Then I don't know what to say, perhaps you have muted the players that were being sexist and cruel or left that match/session. Or you didn't bother to communicate with them... I just dont know. An MMO is just a strange one being large and not as personal as a shooter space like Halo or Battlefield for example. It's more of a public open. MMO's usually have rules and a more respectable community of players for the most part than a shooter does offer. I can see why to hide there, but seriously...
I've met only a small handful of Female Gamers and they all like you "dont care" about that stuff, hell I ran into a younger teen-group of guys and one girl where they all thought that it was funny cause they "didn't care", which is darn stupid if you ask me with the way they went on about it. It's cruel and sexist behavior. It shouldn't happen but there will be Jerks and Idiots in this world.
"Remember sexist jerks, you suck as you come out a loser for being one. just get along already and play the game as it's meant to be played with everyone."
I just think women should game too. As everyone should have fun and enjoy their video games. It's not the end of the world, It's just interesting or even odd that the fact remains until otherwise I don't see too many Female Gamers outside CoD or WoW/MMO games. As I game an average of 8 hours a day on many different games. I think they love to hide, I understand why but its just making it worse if you do hide. As it only means that you let the jerks and idiots win by hiding. I'm glad that more of you aren't hiding anymore but the ones that dont are younger than 17 currently and usually. I'm glad that we agree what games are for. At this point, I'm going to say I've had my piece officially. Any further posts from me will be something like: Defiance related or Game related outside Female gamers subjectively. As I will make a new thread titled The Game Machine.
;) I'm sure you'd appreciate that more... since you "dont care"
I "don't care" because I don't think anyone should let an anonymous person who is clearly trolling bother them. I think if we didn't "feed" them and acted as if we don't even see it they won't get a thrill out of doing it, that's all. It isn't that I "don't care" they are talking that that it's more so of a, "I don't care" because they can't possibly know anything about me. If that makes sense.
I'm 25.. been around in this gaming world for quite a while.. if I don't like what someone says I ignore it and enjoy the rest of my game. Simple as that.
"Bullies" get a joy out of seeing a reaction and upsetting people. The more upset someone is the more they want to keep picking. Give them nothing and they will grow bored.
female "gamers" exist , in today's ever evolving ever technological dependent crumbling society the social normal structure is breaking down it is very easy to delve in to the ever-present escapist mentality of video-games and the pseudo fantasy alternate reality they offer to keep from dealing with your day to day life .. in general statistically speaking 45-90% of so called "female gamers have many character defects or problems which keep them from being to interact in a normal healthy "real life" environment the fallowing reasons are the majority, teenage pregnancy,obesity, negative self esteem/self worth, abuse, self deluded psychosis, the need to alter their selves to "fit in " lead to forming their virtual; self image the same is said for most gamer boi's where as the percentages are much higher and are 80/90% with top reasons being obesity,unemployment,drug usage, and social ineptitude being the major contributors
that being said i'm neither a misogynistic ****** nor an elitist prick but i speak the truth in the dark places in order to illuminate the void and educate the uneducated ....personally most people it dos not matter you're sex nor your sexual persuasion as to wither you play video games what is important is you play them so much that that is what you use as your base niche identifier which means with all due respect you need to get a real life :/Quote:
