Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
1) For most male gamers, games dominate their lives. They are nerds. End of story. Most couples have something in common, right? Be it sports, interests, whatever. Now, like it or not, hardcore male gamers vastly outnumber hardcore female gamers. I guess there's something in the male gamer's subconscious that just says "hey, look, she likes games! Go say hi or something!" I guess in the male gamer's mind, both of you liking games is enough. Maybe in reality, it's about as crucial to compatibility as you both liking the same color.
2) Men are horny bastards. Plain and simple. The guys taunting or hitting on girls on XBOX Live are the same ones fapping to porn. And that's the point of putting things like "I'm a girl gamer" in their profiles. The guys will take notice. Unfortunately, it's for all the wrong reasons.
I have friends who are girls, but I'm not trying to hit on them 24/7, or at all for that matter. Hopefully one day male and female gamers can have that sort of relationship. Hopefully one day gender will mean as much as skin color to a gamer. But, unfortunately, that day is still a long way off.
my wang needs love. now.
Otherwise, I agree with you. Guys don't (or shouldn't) go around crowing about how they're "guy gamers," so women shouldn't do it either. Some people play video games, some people don't. Big fucking deal.

I play games ALL the time!
Brings me back to Wiisucks era.
Die in a fire Whiteboy, for oldtime sakes.
And "WHO THE FUCK CARES"?
Horny guys who have either:
a) Not had sex in a LONG time
b) Not had sex at all
Usually the girl gamer is noticed because as Ron said, it's all desperate boys need to relate to girls, whom they usually have no contact with. Having the anonymity of the internet just makes it even worse.
Then there are girls who are awesome that fit right in and you listed them. They state the fact that they are a girl in every post, or post pictures of them selves in everything they write.
Someone should make a blog (a dude) but post it as a "I play games girl" that would be aweosme!!
Also, my girlfriend plays games almost as much as I do.....OMG MOOGLE!!!
"They DONT state the fact that they are a girl in every post, or post pictures of them selves in everything they write.
You mean non-gamers don't masturbate to porn? Where the fuck have I've been.
I'm a horny dick yes. But i'm not throwing my dick at every girl gamer I see or hear about. Not anymore at least. You don't achieve anything but stupidity with that. But it doesn't hurt to find more girl gamers to talk to. Guys are awesome people to talk to but I guess I need the yin/yang every once in awhile. Bonus points if they're actually goofy 24/7 (which I find most hardcore or serious girl gamers are)
Can't really stop the kids and their dicks. It really just stops once the girls shut up....which will never happen.
However, girls who aren't into gaming and who are still slutty ho-beasts will just do the same thing with any other interest or hobby to attain the same results.
The problem is, is that a good 70-80% of girls act like this on a fairly regular basis, thus ... your problem is less likely having to do with "retarded female gamers" and more likely to do with the fact that the majority of girls (at least that I've encountered) between the ages of 13 and 30 are manipulative skank-n'-beans that just want attention.
I'm guilty of it myself. Show me a girl who thinks she hasn't acted this way even once, and I'll show you a liar.
i disagree
