Hey stud, Mario is giving your lady more pleasure than you are. Doritos says so.
Each preference result is independent, so there's no way to rank them relatively. The two results in particular add up to over 100% and are each over 50%, so there is a LOT of overlap, with women that like gaming and sex. Even if the number of women online gamers that didn't like sex (30%) were all game-enjoyers, they are still outnumbered by those who like games and sex (54%) by over half (54% > 1.5 x 30%).
The same reason that hunters like to hunt on rare species, cause it's challenging and everyone will be impressed of your achievement, well other hunters mostly, and the animal rights guys will have a fit, and this analogy is not so accurate as I hoped it would be. But in a nutshell: 'Not many of them available, DO WANT.'bjj hero said:

There are *plenty* of gamer girls. o.o Enough so that there's a good chance some may find out their girlfriends are avid gamers *after* the relationship starts.Kuckles said:
If you think about it this is a pretty insulting survey worded in a way to make it sound like women prefer gaming, shopping and pampering themselves (baths) over sex. Take out the gaming part and you're insinuating that all women are Peggy Bundy.Earnest Cavalli said: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.
Additionally, the survey found that of the average 3.5 hours the participants spent online each week, those of the feminine persuausion dedicated 23.1 percent of their time to interactive gaming, while the burly male types found themselves gaming only 22.3 percent of the time.
Alright, look, I'm going to level with you guys: Even forgetting that this survey was conducted by a company most famous for clogging keyboards worldwide with greasy orange dust, this entire thing is meaningless.
84 percent of women enjoy gaming, while only 70 percent enjoy sex? I don't see a correlation between the two data points. I see an entertainment industry segment designed to be, at best, wildly entertaining (and at worst, completely inoffensive) succeeding at its goal, while the act of male/female coitus is exactly as awkward, baffling and confusingly unerotic as it has been since Adam first asked Eve if she wanted to see his "snake."
Of course, a headline like "games are rad, sex is pretty confusing for most people" wouldn't do much for the Doritos PR wonks, so the company explicitly focused on the most salacious data point it could find.
Remember kids: Sex sells, but questioning the virility of your stupid male audience will have you swimming through a Scrooge McDuckian money vault by the end of the week.

The better news from this is that 55-70% of the women polled enjoy both Gaming AND Sex. Gamer girls are the majority of this poll and their lookin for love.
That is how you should have worded this to make your readers happy.
I admit being somewhat confused. Are you agreeing with me? or is that sarcasm?ProjectTrinity said:
I was agreeing with you. I also found it a little funny, so I added that second part in thar.spartan231490 said:
I'm sorry but this story and its use of statistics is the method Fox news use to get theirs...
There is a 12% difference between those who enjoy games and those who enjoy sex.
However that difference does not account for the other 88% of the survey as to whether they prefer games or sex.
It could turn out that this 38% of women's sexual partner(s) simply do not know how to do the job or don't have what is required to do the job(I feel sorry for the latter). And the rest enjoy it more than games...
They didn't ask the direct question "Sex or online gaming" therefore a comparison point cannot be made >.>

I can't believe that. That hardly seems like a proper survey. It was done by a chip company for God's sake!
I'm female and I can tell you I find it very hard to find other female gamers. Aside from the debate on whether women prefer sex to games... I can't even find the women who play games to start off with.

Since when does Doritos qualify to be trustworthy with such data ? It is a fucking snack! I have never been hard on statistics cause I hate math but if I were to believe this, I should have gotten laid years ago.
In all my years of gaming, I have come across 3 women who own a current gen console. 1 of them is presentable and she lives in fucking California. Are you telling me, that you found enough gaming women for a survey that took about 3 minutes, while people like me, who are actually more into the medium than you are, have come across maybe 10 of these women in their entire lifetime? How the hell are we supposed to buy this? What kind of cologne did they spray the survey center with ?

LOL and to think some guys, after reading this article, were starting to question the wisdom of pursuing a gamer girlfriendAdeptaSororitas said:
I kid, I kid. I always joke to my (non-gaming) friends that a gamer girl is gets bonus points in attraction. Not sure why I confound them so much.
Eh, my ex had no interest in gaming and much preferred time spent on...other activities.
(jk, Facebook. no no ART actually...)
Lol these women who prefer gaming obviously have not had a good f$#@, and when i say good f&%* I mean the kind that makes them d@$# whipped. Believe me it happens the same way guys get p@!&$ whipped. Why do you think that girls love bad boys? Let me give you a hint, its not just our personality.
