Survey Says Women Prefer Games Over Sex

[CommanderKirov]

This just in. Dorritos is a serious statistic company. Realy guys, don't mock the polls they made just because they also make tasty snacks.

This survey sadly implies that sex and video games are exclusive activities.

As a woman I can say honestly...it depends on the guy...and depends on the game :3

Hey stud, Mario is giving your lady more pleasure than you are. Doritos says so.

Great, some mascot who looks like he's been eating Doritos his entire life thinks he can give better pleasure to a woman than I can. Just wonderful.

OT: Just another reason to looks at Doritos and shake my head in disappointment. Not the best reason, however. That would be this...

So we'll have to make sex a game, or vice versa, no that probably already exist.

My partner hates gaming. Why is everyone chasing gamer girls again?

lol, yea mine too. Also, how is it that when they use this type of study they say they prefer gaming over sex? That wasn't how I read it. I read that a higher percentage LIKE gaming. That isn't the same thing at all, and given that Doritos are shit, I am surprised anyone is taking this seriously.

Doesn't it also depend on the time?

I'm not going to try to drag any lady away from a raid for some loving, because it's her time, not our time.

The survey did not account for the fact that 90 % of the female respondents were dudes roleplaying as females.

 

[Kris015]

And my girlfriend recently started gaming.. Well, fuck.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

One wonders why they were investigating this...Even if it's a bluff, why? Just why?

because who eats doritos mid-fuck.
OT: well this is strange. i prescribe video game orgies!

Eh...I don't think time matters. The game I'm playing matters more. There are some games I can just pause and save and other times where I have to tell everyone to STFU because I HAVE to finish this part and NO ONE better try to interrupt. XD

Never have I been more glad to avoid gamer girls in the sack. I may not have many entertainment preferences in common with my girlfriend, but at least sex is one.

 

[LokiArchetype]

Headline is a misrepresentation of the data.

Research shows that, of tested population of women, the percentage that reported enjoying gaming was higher than the percentage that reported enjoying sex.

The research does not indicate levels of enjoyment, which would be needed to draw a conclusion on which is preferred.

"More women enjoy gaming than sex" is different than "Women enjoy gaming more than sex"

 

[Hugga_Bear]

Survey is broken. If I'm reading it right, 84% of girls who game like gaming.
Well. No shit sherlock. I'd wager 70% is a pretty constant trend, I'm surprised the 84% isn't higher.

The results look to be published in a way intended to get attention. Which it's doing. Yay for statistics.

 

[Cheesus333]

They have that in common with me then, I guess.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING SO I DON'T CARE, WOOP!

I don't really know what this is supposed to prove though. That 30% of those women's sex lives are either unfulfilling or non-existent?

Survey Says Women Prefer Games Over Sex

Hey stud, Mario is giving your lady more pleasure than you are. Doritos says so.

Like a nacho cheese-flavored Richard Dawson, Doritos recently polled 2,052 people and discovered that the ladies apparently prefer game time over sexy time.

MCV reports:

The survey of 2,052 people was commissioned by Doritos and found that 49 per cent of women play online games, almost matching the 50 per cent of men that game online.

Of these female online gamers, 84 per cent said they enjoy their gaming sessions, compared to just 70 per cent who enjoy sex. 62 per cent enjoy working out, 71 per cent enjoy shopping and 75 per cent enjoy having a bath.

Please don't do this. I know the Escapist isn't CNN or a 'news network' but making headlines that are not supported by the material you link to is really adding to the incoherent noise that is News nowadays.

That doesn't say that women prefer games OVER sex. Never is one compared to the other, and this ends up looking like sensationalism on par with the worst kinds of print magazines. (The subject matter is banal, but the amount and type of the misinformation is similar).

Sorry if this is prude-ful, but seeing news sources rely to this kind of things is really really getting to me.

 

[brazuca]

Yeah, I really doubt the legitimacy of such a survey. :\

I mean, not that I disagree. But you have to consider WHO is answering these surveys. And how they answer. And why they chose to answer.

It is called trolling. THis survey is trolling, gaming better than sex?! Or funnier... Heck is The Sims 3 that good girls?

Well... F* my car, now I'm gonna flirt with my x360 account or better yet my steam account!

 

[Dalek Caan]

I don't think this is true. It's not because I think girls don't play games. I feel that only asking 2'000 women out of the millions who exist is not being specific and the results are not accurate.
