for me.. a lot of guys do find it strange that i play video games.. i normally like it, like when their intelligent enough to talk with me about games they like and tips that i may want.. but when their stoopid and say things like 'WHOA YOU PLAY VIDEO GAMES?! BUT YOUR A GIRL! ARE YOU SURE YOURE A GIRL?' it kind of draws me away... especially when the whole 'youre not a girl.. youre a guy' line come in play.. sweatdrop

I like all the video games that I think are meant for guys... e.i. GTA series, resident evil series, bloodrayne, etc.

*laughs* Touche.

It never really crossed my mind that games should only be for boys. I mean when I first started playing games. . . man, I must've been like 5 or something. . . so gender discrimination was the furthest thing from my mind. All I wanted to do was shoot those stupid ducks (and the dog occasionally). ^.^

Now? I'm still of the same mind. Girls, guys it doesn't matter. Games are games. All that matters is whether or not the person enjoys them. 3nodding

took the words right out ofmy mouth. Literally. And that hurt. so give them back! would ya? 3nodding

but seriously folks.....stuff like that isjsut bull, and shouldn't be given a second thought.

When I was little, I approached the Video Gaming section at Best Buy a lot even though I was too young to understand how to play quite yet. My dad was proud, but my mom told me those games were for boys.

What say they now? stare

Video Games are made for whomever wishes to use them, even though the advertising is gender biased

Indeed. I think asking for more girl directed games is gender baised itself.

Video games aren't geared towards guys as much as the gaming magazines are. There's the execeptions of The Guy Game etc..

It's the gaming magazines that make it more and more male-oriented. The female gamer population is larger than you think. We're generally pretending to be men on multiplayer games, because you don't want to see "A/S/L??" flying across the screen when you're trying to knife some newb on Dust.

Xbox live also presents problems, when girls play. Whenever I throughly kick a guy's a** it's:
"Oh, well I was going easy on you 'cause you're a girl"
"Haha, you got your a** kicked by a girl, you suck."
"Girls suck at games. You just got lucky."
"You're not really a girl."

Why is this? Girl gamers aren't rare. Girls are as good at games as guys. But because of the immaturity of guys, we sort of don't make our presence known - and if we don't, then the gaming industry will never know we're out there, and never cater to us.

Cosmo doesn't feature stories about videogames, because Cosmo is all about the following things:
How to please a guy in bed
How to look hot
Your horoscope about how you look hot while pleasing a guy in bed

Gaming magazines don't feature stories about gamer girls, because the magazine is about the following things:
Pixellated hot mostly naked girls
How you're a loser because you play games and can't date
You can't date because of featured pixellated girls

It's stereotypes setting the genders up for disaster - and it's annoying.

I think you have a VERY good point , the gaming magazines are boy based , but we girls are not completely ignored , there are some sections with gaming girls opinions and views and stories , but seeing all the naky made up game girls and models to advertise games is abit much .

Guys will always act imature when they loose to a girl , because we are assumed as weak (even though there is a strongest wimen competition in the world...-flexes a muscle- blaugh ) , when we beat a guy at a game , its like a major blow to his pride , kinda funny too because then they dont have the go to show off next time knowing you could do better wink .

But there are those nice/cool guys out there that will be all "wow your hot" if you beat them , and luv you to death heart

I've lived my whole life on videogames. I have two older brothers who where adicted to gaming, and so am I now. So I think that no company would make something for one sex, they want to make money, and they can't always do that only putting products out for boys. Though I guess when sexisum was bigger I guess maybe they did, but not anymore. Even if it was, wouldn't stop me from playing them.

Well everytime I walk into Slackers or EB Games I'm always the only girl in there. I get stared at and then once I pick up a game I like and Buy it I get all these whispers and strange stares....

Guys are just stupid. xp I even have a shirt that says "if a game has bouncy boobs then a girl has already played it. "

Only place I ever see another girl in a game store is at Gunther's Games. xp

Games are great for girls. What I find funny is when they try and create a game around girls, like barbie something or another. Sooooo bad. We just go back to playing Half Life. whee
