Subject: Whats everyone so hyped up about?

Posted by: WookieeMania12
Who cares about the gender of the player? They are just playing Halo 2 on XBL, whats the fuss?


Because it's rare to meet a girl on XBL and it makes some people all excited. They want to be heard and to have the girl's attention.

Why are all these girls suddenly complaining about being the victims of sexism? Do they not realize that people on XBL are hostile to everyone? Being a girl just gives them new amo to throw at you. You're allowed to talk back. The guys that say that stuff to you are probably just not used to talking to girls. If you don't like it just hang with people who do like you on live. Or better yet ignore them all together. And I'm not afraid of losing to a girl but I've never met one good enough to beat me. If you think you can my GT is Th3xF4LL3Nx. Also I'm I the only one who has never met a girl on gears?

P.S. I think girls should have the option of showing cleavage on XBL. That would shut the guys up.

Nope Ive met 5 girls on Gears one of was like 12 and was actually dam good she had the same amount of kills as me(14)

Sodding glory Cardenio, slow down man haha. You're thinking too much like me.

Girls that come out in the open, well this goes for people in general, and are saying they want things to be fair, they mean give them an advantage over the rest. The problem lies with the word fair. I was not allowed to use it growing up, and in my selfish rebellion I used the word equal. That didn't last long since I knew I was still breaking the rule. To publicly claim that you're a victim is to try and have rule over others. If you're a girl and you've got what it takes to hold your own against guys, well hey I'll hand some respect over no problem. We don't need affirmative action on XBL now do we? To be polarized and say women and men can't do the same activity is ignorant, to say that women should have dominance over men is ignorant, to say men should have dominance over women is ignorant - but to accept that it's more natural in physically demanding jobs for the man to dominate is something of wisdom. Your young minds see that there is only your way and their way. Try seeing it my way.

This is a highy intellectual section of your post. It summarizes and concludes the whole subject perfectly. I reckon we all should just read Rhudebaker's worthy contribution to the thread and accept and learn from the advice he presents. I know other members have said similar things, but, none were quite like this.

All my respect to you, mate. The thread has concluded.

Late last night several of us delved into this very topic with a great deal of "maturity" and "wisdom".

Then, the Ninjas woke up and locked the thread.

I still don't know why the girls are surprised that some of the goobers on Live would be immature. I imagine (given the age group) that they run into it enough on a regular basis that it would no longer surprise them.

Caviat to the comments previously made. It would actually be an expectation that a female player would be the more naturally inclined to dominate in on-line gaming. Since strength and size are no longer a factor then reflexes are the more important. Scientific study has shown that females have naturally faster reflexes and also have better situational awareness. They are less likely to have "the fog of war" and don't tunnel out as frequently. They make better pilots and can make better drivers if they take the interest. The biggest diference in these activities which give males an edge is aggression. We tend to be more daring in our actions and take risks. We also tend to become more focused on mastering an activity, particularly physical ones. Repeated performance of an activity builds "muscle memory", kind of a misuse of terms but familiar to most. The more you do somehting the less you have to think through it. You train your brain to simply know how to respond and to command the muscles to respond to a given activity or stimulus.

Since guys tend to be more obsessive with mastering a given activity, we spend more time doing it. That increased amount of time builds the "muscle memory" and can overcome the females natural reflexes and quicker thinking.

Until they show cleavage and then we forget stuff.

It Works Like this just to repeat what was said. his Post is right guys fight about everything and be all stupid. but why girls think its aimed badder towards them is becasue there a girl and its a new way of talking crap for guys. they will be perverts and all dumb because its a girl its like a new spieces to them a new way of talkin crap. but if you rly think about it imagine if the commnuity was more girls then it would be oppsite its like a guy trying to play barbies girls are like waht yah know.

I know there is intelligence buried somewhere in that barely literate spiel but I'm having difficulty translating due to grammar issues. But if I understood you correctly (pretty sure I didn't) I may agree with you.

This is what I got out of it. A female inclined to participate in usually male associated behaviors will tend to take on behaviors associated with the activity. Kind of a hive mind mentality....

...and stuff....

I think many girls wouldn't mind flashing guys online if they had webcams and were chatting. I bet i could get a whole buncha bitties over live if we had video lobbies.


Sexist maybe? XBL is not like Lake Havasu.

Zach, it's comments like that what got all of our fun and entertaining threads locked this morning. Please do not troll for ninjas....

...wait til about 1am and THEN turn on the inner-letch. Then again, you've been on Bungie for 3 years now, you may know something I don't.

Spartan.. Lake Havasu? That's classic.

I have a girl in my MLG clan that is every bit as fun to play with as my guys are. I dont treat her any differently nor does anyone else. It sounds to me like you need to get laid kid.


As your guys are?

La fruita!

This is one of the many posts that has that naughty innuendo in it...

Well coming from another female....I generally do not care what the fellas have to say when they find out they are playing against a girl. IF I don’t like it, I just kill them to shut them up, or I mute them. I personally think that it really shouldn't matter what someone says about you over a GAME (despite what you have heard, yes it is just a game), I know my abilities and what I can and cannot do, and I am comfortable enough to continue to play with a group of people who are constantly talking smack. Now what I do have a problem with are those people who talk about my gender and my race all at the same time.....this is 2007, I should not have to defend my ethnicity, eye color, hair color, gender, the fact that I am southern girl, etc. to anyone for any reason. It shouldn't matter what I look like anyway; if I can kill you, you better believe that I will do so. You cannot see me and I cannot see you, so why can't we just play and have a great time? With that being said....anyone looking to play with a nice girl hit me up!
