this is a thread that is within a poll that will further discussion that is already discussed in the "Adult females surpass teenage boys as the largest gaming demographic in the US" thread.

so make your votes count and post why you chose your vote.

[smoke and mirrors]

Yes i would play with a Female gamer ( who wouldn`t )

 

 

Maybe , i am not sure if that is true

 

 

No i am not Female

[JeffZero]

The statistic is likely accurate, yeah.

 

I've lived with two ex-girlfriends -- one of whom for three years -- who are bigger into gaming than I've ever been. I know plenty of other women in my area who destroy me at Mario Kart without blinking. And the biggest reason the survey's correct is due to the meteoric rise in smartphone app-esque gaming, which is indeed making extremely impressive inroads regardless of my disinterest in it.

 

Women are wonderful. Just as wonderful as men. And they're wonderfully diverse. Just like men. There are plenty of female gamers, and I think of them as fellow human beings first and foremost. Sex is irrelevant.

 

...sometimes my compulsion to use the more scientifically proper "sex" over "gender" causes some awkward lines here and there. I trust you know what I meant.

that I do lol.

Yes, why wouldn't I want to play with female players? Gender has nothing to do with anything. I really hate it when gamers treat other gamers differently because of gender.

 

Not sure what the "Female Gamer Demographic" is, but I do believe that females make up a good portion of gamers.

 

And I think you should add a "I'd rather not say" or "other" option or something to the third question.

Nitpicking again:

 

This really has nothing to do with gamers and more to do with group dynamics.

 

For whatever reason humans just HAVE to go "I'm in group A. You are in Group B. I hate you because you are not a member of Group A!". The groups don't even have to mean anything, and people will follow that same pattern.

 

It's slightly ridiculous.

Female Gamer Demographic is basically a poll about who is female gamer or not. but it would tell if a survey was accurate or not, but it's up to everyone who votes or not. it's their opinion that they casted as a vote.

that whole part is why I think male gamers are discriminting female gamers because of their skills.

I suppose that makes sense. I could understand something like nationality or age (my country is better than yours, or I'm older than you so I'm better), but I still don't quite understand why people much such a big deal with gender. People wouldn't split into groups of hair color or height, would they? 

[Neoleviathan]

Ever since the Super Nintendo days, my best friend was a girl & we spent all our time on that thing. My female cousins had their own snes and several games. Now that I'm older all the girls I'm friends with & the SO's of the rest of friends are really into gaming... Both table-top and systems, & each with their own preferences as to systems & series. I've never seen gaming as a hobby that women weren't active with. Maybe the industry never saw them till now, or maybe it pretended not to see them, but they were always around. I don't doubt the demographic, though I do think women are playing with more systems and games than they realize.

Go 6 feet brunette gamers! Rest of you are scrubs.

It has more to do with the way Western society has developed.

 

For whatever reason (I know the reasons, but this isn't the place) men are made to be the more leadership roles while women are placed into a more subservient role (regardless of how true that is in actuality).

 

As I mentioned in the other thread, this leads to parents treating boys/girls differently, telling them which activities are acceptable for their gender, telling boys that they are better than girls, etc etc.

 

Depending on how far you want to nitpick.

 

There are times when where society has split people into different groups based on hair color (for some reason I think this is where the whole being a "ginger" is bad came out - though that may be the result of some popular show), eye color, height, etc. Nazi Germany may not have separated people based on this, but they definitely had a whole eugenics program dedicated to who people could breed with based on those.

 

I also don't really recall the specifics of the Rwanda genocide, but it may have been related to height. (Or possibly slight variation of skin color)?

 

If there's any amount of difference between people you can bet that people have been discriminated on because of it.

Case in point. 

[fchopin]

I do not like how some of the questions are framed so i will not vote.

[Tarek]

female gamers are legendary creatures

 

 

I KID

 

its nice to have women gamers if your straight and love games, as for me I never met any in dota 2 or battle field 3 as far as i know

[Johnnie Walker]

I don't like gaming with those girl gamers that are all in your face about it and think they're something special.

 

That demographic is bs.

 

My gender is irrelevant.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

Guh... Is there anything more attractive than Girl Gamers? They're like girls... but they also play games! They're basically asking me out.

Don't mind him. His use of satiric humor is fantastic.

Oh my...

[Dermain]

What's wrong with him saying this? He likes girl gamers, he thinks it's attractive, that's not a bad thing, it just means that a guy/him likes it when he can have that in common with his girl.

 

Yes, I have no problems with that part of his post, but then there's this part here.

 

 

They're basically asking me out. 

 

Having been in numerous communities, where there have been girl gamers, there is always that ONE guy that thinks that the girl is asking him out by just talking to him....

 

Things just get creepy from there...

 

[Johnnie Walker]

Oh my...

I will save my girl gaming goddesses from those mean male gamers. I will 1v1 them in a game of chess. I'll be the white pieces.

 

[Cassandra Saturn]

Lmao haha.. that made me laugh.

[Tarek]
