Who are better gamers? Guys or girls?

Gender does not define gamign skill.


Having said that, gaming is a masculine subject. Look at any esports games. For every 10 male team there is 1 female team. Then look at the skill level, only males at the elite end,

Men can do everything that women can do but better --- it is a fact of life.

And here we have the dumbest thread of the week... Someone give the lass a freaking medal... cat_rolleyes

Not even worthy of a medal. Let's just give them a nice sticker, a pat on the back, and send 'em home instead. neutral

[Whiskey Grey]

Neither. There are just more guys in gaming.

[Pawlas Cathena]

Two-spirit gamers

Just kidding. Overall gender doesn't determine who's a better gamer.

[OctoCamo]

There's no "better" gamers.

[Akaru Renuji]

There's no such thing as the "better" gamer. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. What your gender and/or sexuality is has no correlation with your hobbies/abilities and how well you are at them. This thread is like those news headlines that read, "So-and-so sports player/celebrity/company head honcho finally comes out as being gay." Don't get me wrong, that's all well and good, but how does that make their acting/singing ability, products that company makes or how well they are at sports better? It doesn't.

Considering Mirror's Edge was too hard for women, that means men are better. That was a joke. I have to say women, just because I have been playing CoD and these twelve year old boys talking has caused me to currently hate men. Any other time I would say it doesn't matter.

[God Emperor Baldur]

Depends on the person. You do not need strength or flexibility to be good at games.

If you asked this question 10 or 15 years ago, you'd say guys simply because more guys played video games, straight up. I don't think many girls were playing StarCraft, Doom, Age of Empires, or most console games back then because IMO girls weren't encouraged to do so, but things have shifted since and now there are far more girls playing video games. I know for a fact that it's not about gender, but about the ability to learn and adapt to a game.

What *would* make for an interesting topic however is to get some statistics on which genre of games, guys or gals like to play more smile

[Forever_Weird]

Take it from a woman who's played video games since she was in elementary school:

Both genders have good and bad gamers. The real issue lies in the amount of trash talk men give women who play games (disregarding the fact that roughly half the number of gamers are women)

I can't really say from personal experience, but I've noticed a slightly odd pattern on the Internet: Men like to trash talk women gamers, then bemoan the fact that they're still single and wish to have a gamer girlfriend. But that's just what I've seen. neutral

The sexes are even in relation to the motor skills needed to use a controller or mouse and keyboard

But the physical differences between the two sexes in the way the brain is hard-wired means that men will be better than woman with certain genres and vice versa.
