i can understand if someone say female don't interesting in FPS.... but strategy ? are you joking, low violence, brain stimulation ?< isn't that EXACTLY what we imagine what girls gamer play ?

No, or are this gamer grils from a superior race/species that can`t be bothered with FPS and stuff?

A better question: Are YOU joking? Why should we generalize them at all and assume they don't like violent games or do like games that stimulate their brains? A gamer is a gamer no matter what is between their thighs.

Well...in theory, most of us have some kind of controller between our thighs. Except for those brave K&M cultists that refuse to play any game with a controller.

Ha ha ha ha. Statistics would say otherwise on the driving a car bit considering that females pay less in insurance premiums because of our driving records. What accidents females get into tend to be minor as well and males are more likely to total their car.
Oh, and by the way, I'm female and been driving for almost 19 years without any accidents. I bet you haven't even been alive that long. On top of that I used to live in California where everyone drives like a maniac, so that's pretty amazing.

I'm not more likely to wreck my car :P. Two wheels all the way, even in the winter.
Almost every time I encounter a dangerous situation (mainly the very dangerous ones) it's a female driver. Females tend to break speek limits less, but their driving skill is less too.
You lost your money on that bet :P. Visit Russia someday, I don't think you'll call California drivers maniacs anymore :).
This one is funny:
Two years ago, Autoescuela Zaragoza offered male students a deal in which they could receive as many classes as were necessary to obtain a license for a flat rate of €665 ($900).
Women were welcome to purchase the same package, but they had to pay an extra 200 euros ($270).
The school defended itself by claiming that their female students, on average, require five additional lessons over their male counterparts. The argument didn't do much to block the flood of complains to the country's consumer rights advocate, which subsequently fined the school €4,000 ($5433) for sexual discrimination. Autoescuela Zaragoza took the matter to court, where, this week, Judge Albar overturned the fine and ruled in favor of discrimination on the basis that women were without a doubt worse drivers than men.

I'm sorry, are you lecturing women about driving safety while using a statistically proven, more dangerous vehicle proudly?
Hmm.
I can attest first hand that female drivers that want to learn, learn faster than their male counterparts in a high-performance environment. I cannot speak to the road, but as ladynadiad brought up, statistics bear out against your logic, regardless of a driving school that doesn't seem to be able to teach women very well.
Again, that's what I did for a living for almost a decade. I was happy to get a female student. They were more likely to listen to me, trust that I knew what I was doing, and slowly build up to their skill level in the car they were driving. Many, MANY men were the same. But I NEVER experienced a lesson with a woman that resulted in me being concerned for my safety, or worse, having to pull a key out of the ignition on someone. Not so with male students.
And if you wanna hear motorcycle stories about death, dismemberment, and generally stupid behavior, I've got plenty of those as well. On the street, to be fair, it is often other drivers that are the problem. Often, but not always. At the track, almost always the rider being stupid.

I'm a girl and I play games across the board. FPS, strategy, what have you. I rarely use a mic when I'm not playing with friends. Last time I did, I ended up a lame PM with a rather poor attempt at flirtation. So yeah, love playing, dislike revealing it during a game.

Lol, I don't even think the worst part was getting it. It was how pathetically lame it was. I couldn't even begin to take it seriously. Plus, sending me a message in the middle of a match when the rest of the team is dying? /shakes head

Hahaha wow, during a game? That's not only a bit misplaced / lame, but a tad rude, too - you're trying to play a game! :P
So what was so lame about his approach? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah! It was mid-match on xbox too and the messaging system on that is definitely not quick friendly. I waited until it was over to check it.
Oh, my xbox gamertag is similar to this one and the message he sent said Aww girl, why so blue ;)

But shiiit guurrrlll, that's so smooth though, how could yo hot little self resist guurrrll?¿

Lmao, it was so hard! He could be my Prince Charming!!!
Haha, I should I have but I mostly just rolled my eyes and moved on. And, of course, passed along the hilarity to the rest of my friends xD
Nope, not really.

People have mistaken me as a male till I informed them. Had a great time reading their reactions though

Haha yeah, that's great. I think the last time I did that I was on xbox playing Mass Effect 3 MP and I had to finish a wave myself. Reactions on that were great.

I knew some who play Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake 3 but never some that plays Strategy games hmm, or maybe if i remember good i saw a girl time ago in Mexico playing Starcraft, hmmhmmm.

I feel like "strategy game" could be pretty loosely described as a game in which you use strategy. So yes I would say it is. But I guess that makes all games strategy games.

I know at least three, but they keep their genders under wraps because of the heinous abuse they catch when boys realize they're around a girl online.

As a girl I'd like to know the answer to this also. I signed up but then stupid Valve had to change it to US only. :(

This is a momentous, amazing, groundbreaking thread. I'm glad I came in here.

Used to get my ass kicked on a weekly basis by 3 chicks back when I did LAN parties for Starcraft, Diablo, and Unreal. That was between 2002 and 2004.

Yes, among other things. But that's actually my name, too. LOL. :)

I like strategy games sometimes but they're definitely not my forte or something I'm super interested in. I have a friend who's very into AoE and I think she plays some Civ too. I also have a couple of chick friends into Starcraft.

I love strategy games!!!...but I'm not a girl. Helping any?

:) I was actually being quite serious :p Maybe you are correct. Before I got sick I used to know/hang out with a lot of different girls/groups of girls (was a bit of a ladies man at school) and I never had the fortune of meeting any that were gamers. I did help a few get into gaming though, and they ended up enjoying it quite a bit and going on to become serious gamers. The problem was simply that no one had ever bothered to take the time to actually teach them in a constructive environment as opposed to just destroying them in games now and again (like growing up with brothers, useless asshat boyfriend etc.) Aside from the profoundly immature behavior girl gamers often encounter at the hands of an unfortunately large portion of the gaming population, I think this is the other main reason many girls never get into gaming. Although more and more are beginning to in recent years. I just never meet any of them :(

No, they don't want to admit it because of dumb posts like yours.

I take it you haven't heard of Kat Gunn? Because she plays a bit of the Starcraft games from time to time, IIRC...
