Whenever I play Halo online, I get the distinct feeling that most of the people I play against are guys. I don't know, maybe I am just sexist. Is Halo just a guy's game? Can girls not handle blood and gore? Do girls who play Halo pretend to be guys? Do girls just suck at Halo?

Please don't blacklist/flame/ban/ninja me for this, as I am genuinley interested in people's opinions. I'm not just trying to be a sexist pig. :D

Edit: Sorry, the poll got screwed up and is not in order.

Girls are probably run off by guys, anytime someone with a questionable name comes in to a server, it's "r u a girl" question time. -.-

Other than that, I doubt that there are over 100 girls on Halo.

10x isn't enough. more like 50x or 100x. Almost all the Halo chicks I have run into have been able to whip me, thankfully they are rare. Most girls don't play because if they join with a feminine name they are driven off by hormonal teenage males harassing the crap out of them because they are protected by the anonominity of the Internet. If the girl was actually standing in front of them they would -blam!- in their pants and look at the floor saying nothing.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I run into a fair amount on Halo 2.

On my friends list, there are about 16 times as many males as females.

I have 5 females.(6 if you count Spartan Kim)

j/k

I played against someone named "Ashley" today. When I asked if they were a girl, they told me no, that they named themself like a girl so that people would think "Wow, I just got owned by a girl!" It was a pretty good strategy, because they were really good, and were getting triples and killtaculars all over the place.

Girls arn't really atracted to shooting like guys. Though I have met some, most of them stink...I think i've gotten into one chat on x-fire while playing halo with one of my clan members. (£§Ð if you want to join) But girls just don't play games simply put. Exept for the ones who want to meat guys so they go to the "girls -blam!- hear" server.

There are obviously more boys that play Halo than girls. I accidentally chose 8x as much, when I meant to choose 10x.
