I think that an awful lot of advertising for video games is aimed at males, i think i have the explanation as to why this is.
Girls are very uninterested and often very....well rubbish at videogames.
This was brought to my attention when we were playing colin mccrae rally 2.0 on the ps in the study room today at school.
While the boys were happily trying to beat the record time in the game, a few girls decided to give it a try.
..while the most inexperienced male gamers took around 2mins:45sec to complete the chosen course, we were still yawning away a full 7 mins after a female gamer decided to partake in the event and crashed right left and center into EVERY obstacle on the course (after 7.5 mins we turned off the computer and shoved her off for hogging)
I think this is why advertising is hardly ever aimed at females and why being told that you "play like a girl" is such an insult.
If any female reads this and wants vengence, please dont hurt me, i bruise easily.

Ive noticed that even on this site...
at SR...
even though they have held a couple of compos to get female regulars...
that the ads are very much aimed a blokes...
(especially given the number of scantily clad female banner ads)
Have SR given up on getting any female forum members?

I know exactly what you mean. I was near in tears when watching my sister play wipeout, she couldn't hold the ship in a straight line and she didn't listen to the pointers i was giving.
Online I have played to girls gamers in a clan, they wern't the best but they wern' the worst I had come across either.
I beat them at Q3 of course, no ladys gonna put me to shame.
Anyway, girls are generally very bad at games. They should stick to shopping and make-up.

Girls have much better things to do with their time such as preen and ride ponies.
That is NOT stereotyping.
