...and they tend to have more sex.

...but not with male gamers.

FTA: This life seems to be the key to happiness; 55 percent say they are happy, and exactly half say online games make them feel smarter.

Watching teen Jeopardy and playing children's Pictionary make me feel smart too, so what's their point? As for the happiness factor, could it just be that people who play online games are happy because they obviously have the free time and the means to do so?

meh, I'll stick to Minecraft, thankyouverymuch. Growing my virtual wheat and melons gives me just enough pleasure to tide me through the winter months when I can't grow any real things.

GAT_00: Pretty sure most women games are Marigold.

Hanners.

Though the the universal women's magazine advice of 'hang out where the guys are' would seem to support this.

"Hey, babe, I'm a level 78 mage on WoW...buy you a drink?"

Er, Hanners doesn't play computer games. She evidently enjoys looking at firefighter porn online, though.

"Looking to interact with these women? Just less than two-thirds of them say their preferred time online is between 8 p.m. and midnight."

Figures.. just when I can't log in, I'm asleep then every night..

But I remember an article a while back from a female gamer who reported making a male character and pretended to be fully male. She found that people were generally a lot more rude to her that way.

I enjoy reading Not In The Kitchen Anymore to see some of the encounters that happen on XBL. Of course, I don't play online with random internet people, so I have no basis for comparison.

//I really really don't like other people.

I met one friend from WoW in person some years back.. she had a very nice voice, and was certainly female. A bit heavy, though... almost like the end of the Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion" video..

Bunnyhat: No see.

They count games like Farmville has an online game.


Totally doesn't count.

This. Minus an 'h'.

If they're counting the secretaries in my office playing Bejewelled, then yes, I believe the numbers. Still, lots of us like gaming, and I wish the media wouldn't get all shocked about it every time.

Who are they farking?

Tell me more....

Tat'dGreaser: Yea, they just don't ever f*ck male gamers.

It's people who watch TV that can't get any. Those couch-dwelling lard-asses. I don't even own a TV.

//Okay, I do- it's for playing video games.

Bunnyhat: No see.

Came here to say this
Please tell me that 57% doesn't include that segment of the female senior community that fiends Farmville...

Bunnyhat: No see.

Is it a game? Is it online?

This study probably relates to that one about iPhone users having more sex. Those people with iPhones? Playing Farmville or something similar.

I'm not a gamer but I'm pretty sure whenever I jump on a console with friends it's all little kids, kids in other countries and occasionally a girl.

I know of two hot girls who play Call of Duty or whatever that new game is. And when I say hot, I don't mean typical FARK hot (i.e. anything with a pulse)....these girls look like they shiat puppies and Lucky Charms cereal. I don't get it.

If you're a girl playing World of Warcraft and can't get laid, I feel sorry for you.

WienerButt: I don't get it.

What's not to get? They're girls, they happen to be attractive, and they like playing video games. It's not terribly complex.

Yeah, "getting plowed" means something different too.

What's your point? For every one of her, there's a dozen guys just like her.

Would this work at all?

"Well hey there... I have full beta access to SWTOR, Diablo 3, and Gotham City Imposters. Wanna come over and play them?"

TF2_Pyro: Would this work at all?

"Well hey there... I have full beta access to SWTOR, Diablo 3, and Gotham City Imposters. Wanna come over and play them?"

No. Not at all.

Guild Wars 2 beta access? Absolutely.

No. Not at all.

Guild Wars 2 beta access? Absolutely.

Had I known Glint's Lair was dropping beta keys during April Fool's, I'd probably would have had one for that. Too late now until they do e-mail sign ups.

"Most online gamers are dudes pretending to be women and even nuns get laid more often than them"

FTT

Exactly. Its just like angry birds is more popular than wow because everyone downloaded it for free on their android and plays 1-2 levels when sitting in waiting rooms with 5 minutes to kill. Its totally the best game ever.

Why unlikely, subby? The women are in a social group where the men outnumber the women.

Too Big for Fark (new window)

Basically, if she has any feminine attributes at all online, she's a guy.

Get over it.

The misuses plays more games than I do. She plays a bunch of web based stuff, plays games on my Ipad, and is adding more to her iPhone.

We split time on her PC playing Skyrim at the moment since I've got a Mac that I haven't yet set up boot camp on. I'll have it ready to go for GW 2.


It was a running gag (no girl gamers) back when we played WoW, that our guild was more than 50% chicks. And we had even more as friends. Almost every woman we knew was with somebody too.

You can install Skyrim into a Wineskin wrapper and it works on the Mac. Or, if you're not terribly worried about intellectual property, it works well in a Cider wrapper.
