I think girls need to get over themselves.
They're not as rare as they think.
And not even half as special as they'd like to imagine themselves as.
And I see (or rather hear through mics) plenty of chicks on TF2.
You say you have met many women online, yet your statement makes me think that you have never even talked to one. I have never once met a female online who has made a big deal about her gender. I have met men who go nuts over women playing games, but that hardly seems like the fault of the girl. You are placing the blame at the feet of the wrong people.
The ridiculous bold lettering was a nice touch, by the way.
uh I don't know what you play but I'm tired of hearing this "Randomnickname: So any girls in here besides me?"
If that's not attention whoring, tell me what it is.
I haven't ever heard anyone sat that.
That being said, a few attention whores don't represent all of the female gender. Acting as though all women should bear the burden of the ego of a few fools is unfair.
Never said a few attention whores represent the female gender. But it's just like kids on CoD, not all of cod players are kids, but as soon as one enters, he starts yelling with his squeaky voice. With females, you never notice them, untill one of them starts attention whoring. So I probably stumbled upon PLENTY of female gamers, but of those who I noticed were females, 80% were whoring.
That 80% does NOT speak for the other 20% of us than you very much. And that 80% is of your own personal poll. For the majority of games I've played, including WoW, only about 10% are attention whoring. The 90% don't care, they're there for the game, NOT guys. In my case, I was there for the game, NOT guys. I just happened to be harassed enough to give up my myspace link, and what happened after was NOT on my agenda. I didn't start playing WoW looking for attention, I happened to be dating a guy, and that guy got me into WoW. We werent together when I met the guy I've been talking to for the past 2 years, and I didnt go into the guild looking for a relationship or attention. So your 80% is not everyone's 80%.
Please note that when I say attention whoring I do not say
actively seeking a boyfriend, I mean "I'm a girl look at me, give me gold" etc etc bullshit.
And the reason that percentage is so high is because I DON'T go around asking if people are guys or girls, I just play, don't give a crap. That's the reason that when I know someone's a female is because she is purposely rubbing it in front of EVERYONE'S FACE which is, as I stated earlier, attention whoring.
I am talking about random gaming here, of course. When you get in clans and stuff the percentage lowers a lot, as you can tell if someone's female by their voice without them directly telling you.
I knew what you meant by attention whoring, and that's why I responded the way I did. Most girls I see playing WoW don't go around asking for gold. I guess it depends on the server, but mainly depends on the girl. Most girls I see playing games aren't flaunting it and whatever. That's just my experience. Apparently you've had a different one. The point remains the same, you're 80% is NOT everyone's 80%.
I wasn't arguing, just stating a simple fact. Everyone has a different experience. I play Black Ops, I have a headset, I play music over it and don't talk. I listened to other girls and guys talk but they were talking to each other because they were friends in real life and joking around. I only use my headset playing Soul Calibur IV with about 2 people. Even when a guild has Vent, I don't find myself using it, and if I do, I don't see/hear other girls flaunting that they're female. I see most girls keeping quiet, or talking to their significant other or friends or something. Like I said, everyone's experience is going to be different. You and I could both go to Disney World, and you could have the worst time there while I could have the best time in the world. We could eat the same food, you hate it, I love it, or vice versa. Doesn't matter what it is, everyone's experience is going to be different, granted some may be similar, but for the majority everyone's going to have a different experience.
