Why would you automatically assume they need help? Where does your "most" come from? From an anecdotal standpoint I certainly know more people who respect gamers for being gamers. Why call them gamer girls, when they're gamers who happen to be girls? Why do you think female gamers have a harder time making friends or are interested in different games? Maybe people should try to talk to girls about gaming(or rather, talk to people about things in general) rather than assume the worse, you might be pleasantly surprised.Samurainova wrote:Hydreigon11 wrote:You see I have girl gamers at my school, I, nor do my friends, treat them like Gods, because frankly if we meet in Dark Souls, we're not going to hook up and have freaky internet skoodilypooping times, we're going to kill each other, brutally. Like statistically 50% of the gaming community is currently female (search it up I did a speech on gaming for my english and it's true, check it) plus this chick you meet over Xbox live is not going to drive to your house so you can do the freak. It's absurd.
You pose very well thought out points. If statistically that it true about gamergirls, perhaps they just have a harder time making friedns, so we see less of them. Or perhaps they just like completely different things. And on the subject of Gamegirls, its a psychological thing. In a place where mostly all we see is guys, its in guys nature to want to befriend a girl and help her, even if she doesn't need it, I don't speak for all guys but a lot of guys are nice like that. And your also true about the freaky, some guys over internet are weird like that, but most if not all girls know better than to hook up over an xbox

The population of female gamers is growing significantly, I think the demographic might be closer to 60% if you count casual gaming(which is recognised as a form of video gaming). These aren't mystical beasts or goddesses willing to submit to your sexual desires without much effort on your part, they're human beings trying to enjoy the same game you are.

What's in blue is what I find as a good thing. I think sexism got too sown into gaming and left the idea that girls can't handle gaming anything past G, which I say is BS. If the numbers are rising like that I see little as a guy to b**** about. As a guy I said, personally I don't see any need to complain.
Now the red is what bizzares me. Just why? Why do you think that a girl gamer would even think about fullfilling your desire? NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Get a girl you know in *ahem* REAL LIFE.

HER was super slim and wore the silver knight helmet, she was a toon with 50 strength.
HIM was an extremely fat toon that wore the Catarina set, he was a dex build that used the DWGR.
