Why 'girl gamers' don't exist

[eatnooM]

Girls are people. Gamers are people. Stereotypes are stupid.

nice saying, need to write that down

[gdf]

it doesn't really matter, but i would agree that lots of girls i know don't enjoy gears, but prefer to play things like loco roco or mario. these aren't gamers as such, they are more casual.

[mesosade]

well quite a few people choose not to play gears of war because of the mindless violence so it's not really all based on gender.

i´m also more the "mario"-type of gamer... am i a girl now? ;-)

[gdf]

all gamers enjoy mario, but casual gamers are more stereotypical to their gender, men=sport/violence, women=platformers/party. more hard core gamers play the same games, whether male or female.

[diceone]

so you can't be a hardcore gamer if you play mario 12 hours a day?
and define "hardcore" gamer?

does that mean some adept halo 2 clan member that lives for the FPS clan match?
or does it mean a amazing loco roco player who knows every in and out of that game?

GDF I'd say you suffer from a bad case of media buzzword usage and stereotypical gender labeling.

"Hardcore gamer" sounds like "extreme skater"...
thanks, but I will define myself by something other than Mountain Dew soda commercial standards.

I think the reason women aren't as present as men in the gaming world, is because most guys suck the fun right out of it.
The majority of the males I run into in the online/xbox live game world are annoying, obnoxious, ignorant, sexist, racist, and too busy trying to mouth off and compete and be a know it all.
They live to call people noobs, and make everyone else suffer at the hands of their "skills".

sounds like a real awesome place.

thanks a lot GUYS.

Girls are too busy partying or putting make up on or doing their hair to play games
