Aside from 'The Notables', do Girls have what it takes to be gamers?!
I don't think so. They don't have that spirit in them; like the gaming, friendly, footbally spirit that most lads have.
I'm not talking about the English Hooligans in Belgium or whatever because if you loved football how could you do that to the sport?!
I'm talking about passion and drive! Lads are great mates and they rarely fall out for more than 5 minutes when they're sober.
Boys bond quite well when they're gaming, they can show their friendship through co-op mode and go head to head with one another to show off their machismo and determine who's 'better'.
And girls? They only argue with each other over whether 'the Space Channel 5 bird' should be wearing #573 Rose Pink Nail Varnish or #259 Silk Pink Nail Varnish. * And whether 'the girl' in Shenmue should have her hair in a plait or in a bun. **
I mean even Nintendo must agree.... well have you ever heard of a GameGirl?!
Girls just don't know how to have fun with gaming, the fashion tips fly out, they break nails, their eyes are so untrained, the only controller experience they get is when they snatch the remote off everyone else and demand to watch Eastenders or Survivor!
They even thrust the control about all over the place in a pathetic attempt to make the character jump further, run faster or hit harder!
Girls just can't cut it when it comes to gaming!
They ain't gotta clue!
I think we're all agreed here, No?

Females can keep their mind on a several things at once but don't dwelve so deep into these subjects.
Males are a bit narrower but dwelve deeper into their obsession.
There are a few exceptions but generally, that seems to be the case.

Not to be sexist, but girl gamers lack the enthusiasm and will power that males have.
For instance, if a girl is playing Resident Evil 2 ( not that many would ) and they get killed, they would give up after 1 or 2 goes but male gamers would give it at least 5 goes and maybe keep trying for a few hours before retiring to the TV or a similar appliance.

Girls don't tend to get so obsessed with things as us lads do.
That's why most are casual gamers.
As for being unable to play well, that's more to do with practice than to do with the gender.
