There are plenty of other guys who actually welcome a woman to join in on the fun. For me, at least, it's a breath of fresh air not having to play a game thinking it will be another sausage fest if you get my meaning.

I would just ignore the idiots that say girls shouldn't or can't play video games. They only say that anyway because they simply never had any real experience playing video games with girls (and I doubt they had experience with girls in other ways too... hehehe).

Have you ever encountered an angry, pre-adolescent boy (or boys) in games like Call of Duty, or just... any online game? They are ANNOYING, aren't they? if it's someone who can't play video games, it is them. And I don't mean in any physical sense, but rather the state of mind. Their mommies buy these games for them as a substitute for baby-sitting, and it's not healthy.

Alright, I'm off topic. Anyway, my main point is... anyone can play video games, be it girl, or delinquent child. All you really need to play any video game, regardless of it's age rating, is to have the mental maturity to not be so....overly immature about everything you see and hear.

Well, the real difference is the gaming attitude, not the sex. If you think somebody online could make you say things like: “omg I cant believe you just said” or “how dare you call me a *****?” Then you’re probably not cut out for online gaming. But if youre somebody who would say: “It’s funny cause I end up owning them in the end of the game and make them RAGE =)” that is definitely a gaming attitude. Whether that is a good, or a bad thing is an entirely individual opinion.

I'm a girl and I was born into a family of gamers and boys so it was all i knew growing up. Even my dad is a gamer. When I was little all I did was play PS2 and GameCube. Now I play Xbox 360. I'm on everyday. COD and Minecraft are the games I play the most, but I have others. My point is I fit right in. I grew up with guy gamers. And I get along perfectly with other guys on xbox live. Sometimes I don't really get along with the girls though.

Girls playing games is the same thing as guys playing games. There IS no difference. I hope you are not one of those girls trying to get attention because they are a girl playing video games.

EDIT: Okay. Remember, I never said you were that kind of person, I just hope you don't become that kind of person.

The ones that talk back because you frag them are chauvinistic. They don't like to get topped by a girl. They want females in a certain place and it isn't giving them a losing game. Just fyi, you can observe this behavior in real life too with friends, etc, and it's no one you want to get personally involved with. They tend to do it in real life too.

The only time I wish females were not playing video games, is when they brag about being a female.

as i guy, i usually respect girls (on and off line) but if their the type i can play-talk smack to i will. but only playing around, not 4 real.

I find gamer girls awesome and attractive, whenever anyone says 'girls shouldn't game' etc, I give them hell...it's a pathetic thing to say.
