Which NSers are girls? Guys?

Now, we all know that I'm insanely steriotypical and automatically presume that the people I post with are guys (which is the truth 90% of the time), but because I heard that fabled gaming girls actually do in fact exist, I just have to ask because I've been surprised one too many times.

Declare your gender here!

(P.S.: I'm a guy. Total duh.)

Male.

And the percentage of guys is more like 80% than 90%. :p

Eeeeh, mebbe.

Personally I'd rather have everyone do it in post form, but you're the boss.
Rysonia
07-04-2005, 07:21
LOL, me the boss??? Then the world is in so much trouble. I just thought the percentages would be easier to tally that way, though tis nice to see eveyone post which they are so mistakes of guy and gal comments aren't made in future posts. I probably mistook the purpose of the thread which I thought was for percentage purposes. If so I humbly apologize. :)

Yay ..!! I am so glad some guy has realised we do indeed exist!! I have a few countries in different regions, and usually leave it a while before I reveal my being a FEMALE an' all on the forums. I found out about NationStates from a guy, and I think I prefer chatting with guys.. er.. does that sound weird? I am NOT weird. :p
I love computer games, Nintendo, Atari :cool: , all that stuff, but if you saw me in the street you'd just think I was some posh working girl. Stereotypes are there to be brought down, people!!!

Perfectly fine to prefer chatting with guys. In fact, one of my best friends is a chick, and she's the same way. She and I have such a great relationship, but sometimes, I wonder if I should try to see if anything else can come of it. But then again, I don't want to risk destroying a wonderful relationship.

Female gamers do exist. We're just a rare species. It's useful to be a gamer female. We get the pick of all the gamer males ;)
And try wearing a pink skirt walking into games workshop when you're young and blonde and big breasted. Sorry to further enforce the stereotypes, but its pretty obvious that the guys are rather surprised. And as a female, I find that guys tend to try to pick me up in gaming shops. O.o

A girl friend of mine actually got quizzed by some guys when she told them she was in to video games and they didn't believe her. They asked her stuff like who the main character from the Legend of Zelda games was and such. :p

I did a documentary last year on a gaming convention (unfortunately it was one of like 8 that year, so I just shelved it) and one of the things I went in thinking was that I was going to get all dudes. The convention happened on Valentines Day so I was hoping to get some conflict there with bitter lonely dudes and the ones with girlfriends being dragged off.

What I got instead was-a lot of people who had been going for quite some time, not many new attendees except one of my subjects, and a lot of women. For the most part they where pretty well accepted and respected-and I did also notice that the dudes where a little better groomed and not smelly-which wasn't the case when I used to go as a kid (I hadn't been in years). So I have to say if just for that they where a welcome change.

One of the other things I rather enjoyed was that despite the clear presence of women some gamers still recited the stereotype that there are no women (in one shot one player talked about how 'he knew the touch of a woman, unlike 99% of the people here' while women passed behind him. In one rough cut I used b-roll of a couple of gamers having a quick kiss, but I eventually took it out because it seemed like I was making fun of that guy...which I kinda was...)

From what I observed there are plenty of women gamers. It's just hard to break the habit of saying there aren't, I guess.

Yeah, I think some guy gamers use it as an excuse for why they can't get a g/f.

I use spontaneity, randomness and bursts of energy, to amuse myself, others and to get over a long week of school. Its fun, but won't get me far in relationships. I like to occasionaly be serious, but that comes off as looking like incredibly peeved, which is incredibly unnattractive. That's a reason why resort to and enjoy immaturity.

At least you don't get people in public calling you "sir" and "mister"! People in stores and other places call me "miss" and "ma'am", and then I say "...what?" in my deep baritone... And they are startled. It's an annoyance, but it is indeed funny to make these people feel strange about what they've just said :D.
