I was in a match with a girl who was flirting at me because she was bad and wanted to be carried. After the match I told her she was bad and should feel bad for assuming I'm a deprived sexually starved male and we kicked her.

Chivalry is dead.

If I play with girls, I try to make game as much fun for them as possible. i.e. reviving, doing objectives, letting them kill most enemies.

Which is why I don't use a mic. I don't want special treatment just because I have boobs.

This thread is awful. I can't even

Lol you know a thread is awful when someone says Chivalry is dead. lol omg

On PC everyone could be female, for all I know. No one talks.

Of course since we prefer to use text chat instead of listening to obnoxious people. Problem is, only PC users use this and EA doesn't give a crap about us (apart from just being lazy and making a direct conversion. Being forced to play with low res textures is just another example).

Also: Its not unheard of for two people to meet online through a game to fall in love and even marry, but I wouldn't go looking for love in game. it generally speaking causes drama in gaming groups and can turn an enjoyable game into a very un-enjoyable one.

Someone care to tell me why this thread is still alive? Threads like these turn into utter catastrophes the longer they keep alive.

Are you kidding me? It's the year 2012 and people hold to the "girls don't play games" mentality? The hell, people?

Jesus H Christ mods, do you even exsist or is BSN the new 4chan? I'm getting sick of these flame wars, threads being derailed, obvious immaturity, repeated topics, necro-posts, e-peen competitions and general hatred for anything. Out of all the forums I frequent this is easily the worst despite having more mods than all the other forums I view combined.

Well, that's just illustrative of some of the problems in gaming communities.

Sooner or later we'll progress enough to where these threads don't become a mess.

I don't mind jokes as long as they're not being outright malicious. Heck I've got a small collection of kitchen jokes I find entertaining. Friendly jabs are fun.

Most guys are actually reasonable if you communicate. If they do start flirting I tell them hey I'm flattered but I'm a happy newlywed. Haven't had problems with people with mics when this is explained. The guys are cool with it and it's back to fun and silliness. There's no reason to blow up on a guy just for being interested if they're not raunchy about it.

Now if they're a jerk about it then I have been polite and explained I'm off the market (or in the days before I was in a relationship that I'm not interested in a relationship without friendship first) then the ignore and mute buttons are there a reason.

But I try to put myself in the guys shoes. I find a girl I share an interest with and I try to compliment her and next thing I know she turns into a harpy. Been friendzoned with enough guys (yes it works both ways guys) and helped them through issues like this in the past that I've come to the conclusion that some women overreact and attack guys who are being decent with little provocation. So I try to be polite because of hearing the guy's side to make it sting a bit less.

It all boils down to respect. It's just for fun, ya know.

Is "female" normal for a girl in english O_O ? If i say "femelle" to a french girl, she will just kick my a*s.

"Female" is age-neutral, unlike girl and woman.

When I come across them I don't treat them any differently than I do guys.

Which is to say: I outscore them by huge margins and steal all their kills.

Strangely Lord_Sirian, your post is one of the most healthy attitudes about the gender issue in this thread.

 I am nothing if not fair. Although I do love to crack a few sexist jokes now and then. :innocent: But that's the point, they're jokes.

If women want equal treatment they can't complain about chivalry not being present any more. (not that I'm accusing anyone in this thread).

Ha! That's totally okay. In PUGs I don't usually care what you are - man, woman, dog, alien as long as you're semi useful and try to be helpful to the team (also, you don't hog your medigels as if you know their shares are gonna skyrocket the next day).  I just care about getting mah money.  (and I don't expect revives because I am a girl... plus I usually rage gel. That's a healthy attitude, too xD)

I have to say that, if something, I'm usually surprised to see female gamers. And not because I don't like the fact, but rather because what's normal in the world (or even common here in Bioware games, because of the "story factor"), it's not common in my country. Sure, everyone plays games now in phones and such, but I only consider "gamers" the people that use a machine dedicated for that purpose, like a console or even a PC, playing serious games (no matter if it's a RPG, RTS, or a FPS, whatever), and that is something I don't see very often around where I live, where I get the impression that gamers are considered like weird people, or just geeks, and girls here are usually not of that type, preferring to just do stuff away from machines, which would seem to be reserved to geeks. Big stereotype I'm pulling here, but well, it's what I see.

In any case, my surprise is one out of curiosity, but I would never bother a girl gamer just for that. In fact, I'll just play as if nothing happened (I don't usually even use a mic). Maybe we have a nice random game, and she adds me to have some more games, and after that we become friends, who knows. But I know that it's just a game, not a place for hanging out (something that many people don't understand), specially when your "possible dates" usually live in another country, and I hate distance relationships.

Oh, and seeing the thing of chivalry being dead talk (which is funny), for me, the concept is merely the fact of being very nice and respectful to a woman, so in my opinion, it's not dead. Though that's just my opinion, being as I am a little "old-school" in some of my views on life.

Cheers

I almost never rage gel.

I haven't played with you, have I?

Tell me the secrets of not rage gelling! xD I never rage gelled so much before but I have a friend who constantly does this.... I blame him for giving me this disease!

And no, I think not. I would have remembered the top hat and the monocle.

I usually see Chivalry as "A woman is not a man, so don't talk about boobs or punch her unless she allows you to do it and please don't make awkward stares at her".

Only that, some guys glorify women by giving them unnecesary special treatment and this annoys me:
Women are not gods, they are the same ugly meatbag as us, workshipping them is almost as silly (long time I haven't used that word ) as discriminating them.

Just have faith in your team mates to pick you up and be patient. I actually don't start mashing the space bar until sometime into the circle (it makes no difference WHEN you start mashing, you get a certain number of 'prolongs' and then mashing no longer does anything)

The only times I gel are:

Team mate can't get to me/about to be stomped
Tactical gel to stop a team-mate from having to be exposed to tons of fire
When the kill camera goes all whacked and I can't see my body properly and I might get stomped without seeing it.

That's sound advice. To be honest, I only rage gel because I know that usually I can get by even without all medigels. Which probably explains why I never do it against the Collectors - they can put you in such a situation that even if all went smooth, wave 10 is going to eat your medigels like an ugly Tuchanka monster.

Sis, you rage gellin' again???

[Chaoswind]

it could be an accident... I use medigels to reload cancel, and when lag kills me I am sometimes unloading pain on a poor banshee ****, so I end up wasting gels... is a pain really
