Subject: Female Gamers?!?!

Love me for who I am not for who you want me to be.

Do guys like female gamers or are they just annoying to play with? As a female gamer I have been told a lot of things good and bad and I'm just wondering if guys even care about female gamers or is it just immature childish guys who talk badly to a female just because she so happens to play video games.

People can push you around and make you eat dirt.
But they will eventually run out of dirt.
Right?

Female gamers are somewhat interesting. The reason i say this is because they are so rare that us men get excited. We wish more girls played video games, so we wouldn't always be looking for the few that DO, because, quite frankly, we much rather like gamer girls than pop culture girls.

IN ESSENCE: we wish more played video games because 1: We see the ones that do and go: Gosh darnit, I wish I knew her because she plays video games. That is instant +90 charisma. However most guys take it harshly and reject them because they know nothing will happen to themselves. They wish their girl of friendly girls player video games.

EDIT: Proof that guys wish more girls played video games is shown in Tribes Ascend. You can buy voice packs. Most people have female voice packs, even though there are some really cool sounding male voices. Males want to have a female voice because it is reassuring in gameplay.

I really could not give a -blam!-, unless they start saying stuff like "im a female gamer yo #swag#money yolo" trying to get attention. Then I get pissed.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

This... in addition, many males are despicable creatures.

It's kids, I mean I honestly couldn't care any less about who in is the game lobby with me as long as they show me some common decency... Something ironically female gamers seem better at doing that the immature kids that cultivate online.

On a side note, just do what I do when I enter a lobby of prats, mute and move on.

Yes keep giving her attention. That will clearly help you get what you want.

For a guy who calls others white knight betas you're being pretty beta yourself here.

You say that you wish you knew them in real life because they are females and it would be cool to have a gamer girl but to be honest I can see why they are rare. When a guy finds out that there is a female in a game they just attack her and tell her to go back in the kitchen. -_- It really discourages females to actually want to play online or at all.

Copy paste from another forum.


Here's my POV on this.

I don't play with women.
I don't even play with men.
I play with people.
They are genderless to me.

I hold no associative distinction between players beyond Really Good/Good/Moderate/Normal/Below Average/Bad/Really bad.

The only place where this doesnt hold itself true is when I know the player on a more personal level.

I do this for a simple reason: I'm neither a misogynist nor a misandrist. it's easier to hold an all encompassing policy than to place distinction between player before I know them well enough to pass better judgement.

As for experience so far, I have many gripes with players but only one that exist between me and players of the feminine disposition.
It's the inferiority complex some of them hold.

Ladies, if someone is being rude to you, please don't respond with a hearty "Is it because I'm a woman?".
It very well might be their reason, but you are only reinforcing your role in their eyes by placing yourself where they expect you to be.
Also, some might genuinely not like you for reasons other than your sex.

As a result, most women I did meet while playing vidya I have come to dislike.
They made a duty of themselves to point out their gender for no other reason as to put themselves in light unnecessarily.


You want personally, as an individual, more respect from the playerbase? Don't debase yourself, don't -blam!-ize yourself and don't step up on a podium unheeded asking for recognition where none is needed. I ask this not because you are a female but because you are someone I might play with. I ask nothing different from the other gender.

Well like I said, the reason that happens is because guys are distraught. I know of this personally. I don't insult women in games, but it is crushing to know that there are girls out there that are cool, play videogames, and are genuinely interesting, and then you go out and meet dimbulb airheads who don't even know what a FPS is. It is a sad reminder of how awesome girls could be, not to set expectations.

I would however like to add that posts like this add to the stigma of hate that younger members of the community have against women.

On a side note as well, I know it is tempting to put similes in your posts as I often have to search through my own deleting such things but please don't use them on the forums.

GAAAAYYY

My best friend's a really hot female gamer. You would think its all bull-blam!- and she sucks and all that, but no this chick could kick all our asses in a video game.

EDIT: So yes I totally respect the ones who are in it for the game.
