I'm a girl owning an o so sweet Xbox ,and the fabulous Halo series.
Now when I told my friends about Halo 2 and that I was so excited for the 10th november release they all began laughing at me.
So I asked them what was wrong and they simply said that a girl being a gamer was ridiculous.
They said that I could play Barbie-games but oh no. No Halo shooting game: way too much for a little girl like me. I could smack'em in the face.
I challenged them for a game and won. And now they're all saying that I'm a freak for being imbeatable at games à la Halo, Tekken,Gran Turismo , ...
Is it really that wrong to be a female gamer.Not to me ... but to my social life....
I never had a boyfriend whilst I'm kinda cute,boys is it really disturbing to know that your could-be girlfriend is a gamer? xxx

I don't see what's so bad about female gamers. If somebody wants to play a video game, let 'em. Nobody has to fit into a stereotypical mold. If you're a girl, you have the right to stray away from the snobby anorexic cheerleader stereotype. If you're a guy, you have the right to stray away from the car-and-sport infatuated overmuscular jock stereotype, too.

Well, in my opinion you're just like any other girl, just because you play games doesn't mean you're weird or something.
Most guys just want girls to be like their mom's were, if you know what i mean.
Don't let them get you down and just do what you want to do, and do worry about boyfriends, because 75% of men are a bunch of noobs anyhow...

There is nothing wrong with female gamers (my sister plays Halo multi whenever we play system link, and im sure she will play halo 2. Shes not the best, but thats due to the amount of time she plays and her age, not her gender.), its just less girls play games than guys (i think about 75% of the market is 18-25 old guys). I personally think both guys and girls should be able to do whatever they want.

Female gamers are becoming more and more popular. They're more frequent at LAN parties, and during the midnight madness at EB games I met quite a few girls who were actually interested in Halo 2.

Granted, I haven't found a girl that can beat me yet. ^_^

Hey boyz,what's wrong with being a female gamer?

The fact that almost none of you (Atsumi probably being the sole exception) can shut up about being a girl for anything more than two minutes.

i would love to meet a girl that played video games, wed have so much in common! wel it would also depend on the games, but who cares. there are just virtually no girls at my school that are hard core gamers. i think that sucks because there is no reason why a girl shouldnt play video games just because of a social stereotype.

There is absoulutly nothing wrong with a female gamer. They rock! That's most likely why most of the girls in my school suck. Nobody understands when I talk about my hate for the flood. The girls look at me funny... LOVE ME!!

Maybe thats because they are such a rare breed, and they want to enjoy their relative specialness (i dont think this is a word, but what the -blam!-). Why cant they be proud of their gender (ok i dont go around saying im a guy, but i presume most people are guys here).

If “girl gamers” who make it a point to announce themselves want recognition just because they are girls, then they have to accept that they will be ridiculed as well. If a “girl gamer” doesn’t want to put up with nor can handle “arrogant boy gamers”, then they should just keep their mouth shut and let their stats do the talking for them.

Last time I checked, we’re living in the 21st century. Sexism is supposed to be dead, and it would be for the most part if “girl gamers” would just stop beating the dead host.

I find an interest in video games, especially the ones I like, to be quite a turn-on, actually. It think it's really cool to be able to sit down and play some multiplayer with one of your chica buddies or discuss the storyline from a certain game or talk about your favorite characters and not feel weird...my wife had better be like that. If that parcitular girl is also good-looking, then it just gets even better. I don't have a problem at all with girls who play videogames; rather, I think it's awesome. The only thing that bugs me is when they suck at whatever game you're playing...but they'll get better, so it's all good. I think the whole stereotype that girls suck at videogames is way off...one of my gal pals can kick the holy living daylights outta me in Soul Caliber and DDR (granted, I suck at fighting games and couldn't play DDR to save my life), but she also beats her friends who are really good at it too. Now I'm just rambling on.
