"Girl Gamers"

Do girl gamers exsist or is it just something we guys dream about during loading times?

I mean i know very very few girl gamers. I once knew a girl which played for a counter strike clan i was in and she was the leader of the clan and no one knew for over a year that she was a female and not male.

My little sister is kinda into gaming but not as serious as us blokes take it.

Also there have been a few games which have tried to get girl gamers interested like barbie and echo the dolphin (yes it is a girls game i mean what bloke would have a dolphin as main charecter).

Gaming is one of those things that can split male's and female's down the middle.

I mean give a man and a woman a choice to either go shopping for the day or play GTA3 all day a guy would almost always chose GTA3 while a female would rather spend money on cloths she'll never wear or need.

And that's another thing you very rarely see females working in game shop's (i said rarely just incase someone starts blabbing "they got a girl in my local game shop") and they also very rarely know what there on about (no offence girls but it's true)

Like today i was in my local rip off merchant EB having a look around and saw a female shop assistant helping what seemed to be a confused mum getting a game.

The Mum said "my son said he'd like mario 64 on the N64 do you have it?"

Female shop assistant "i'll have a look"

A little while later and she comes back with Mario kart and say's to the Mum "we don't have mario 64 but we have mario kart which is the same but the charecters race on little go karts instead" (yes i know funny)

anyway the mum then said "ok i suppose it's not all that different" and bought it.

I then left wishing i could be there xmas day when the kid opens it.

Let's face it i am being a little sexist but if no one can show me a girl who can program a video and wire up a PS2 i'm standing my ground.


Anyway i'm off to wash my hair ;)

Oi, I'll have you know I'll be phoning no such number tonight or tommorrow morning. Perv indeed.

yep your right the questions were crap that's why i said don't bother. you were wrong about the NTSC thingy though if a TV won't do NTSC a scart lead won't help.

i know take everything i said about girl gamers back and i'd like to say sorry to myst (and all the other girl gamers here) it's not just us *lads* that can have a excelent game and console collection.

Myst will be pleased though as i played a game of Dead or Alive 2 on DC and she came extreamly close to beating me (she's 10 by the way).

Anyway my little sis has asked if she can borrow the dreamcast this weekend and as i think now girls should be good gamers i let her have it for the weekend and she's now playing tony hawk 2 and Dead or alive 2. She's also getting a GBA for xmas (her choice) which i just found out.

see people can change sorry myst i'll try not to be so single minded. after all it is Christmas

There will always be those dedicated few who can rise to the occasion among the opposite (to most of us) sex. However, to most, gaming is simply a toy that big and little boys play with to fill time in between days, not to say that females are any worse a gamer than the guys!

Anyone who says that girls can't be gamers or belong in games (the latter is questionable) is in my view, a hypocrit. Girls can sometimes match up to the boys - it's not all about who's the biggest or more matcho - it's about who possesses the most skill. Am I right?
