I admit it sounds incredibly sexist of me to say so, but it does seem like oftentimes women, especially attractive ones, who play video games are just trying to get attention or sell something. I know that isn't always the case, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it's a "few bad apples" situation, but think about how often attractive women are used to sell a product aimed primarily at heterosexual men, then apply that principle to a prodcut you have an interest in (in this case video games). I mean, much like the stigma of gamers being overweight, pimply white guys who live in their parents' basement and whose only exposure to light is from the glow of their television screen still blights gamers, the stigma of attractive women and anything video gaming are either non-existant or booth babes still blights female gamers. Again, I fully admit that saying that sounds incredibly sexist of me to the point it sort of borders of mysogynistic.
I still hold out hope that "MzRight221" (a woman who shares my passion for video games, I was just using the gamertag as a joke and an allusion to that) is out there and waiting for me.
