Title: Girls? Ladies? Females?
Post by: Karistina on March 18, 2005, 08:31:28 pm: I\'m just curious how many females play PS here. These things are generally heavily populated by males. Where are my gamer girls? I can\'t be the only one!

Post by: Incenjucar on March 18, 2005, 08:37:28 pm: True, alas. And so many of the \'females\' in the game are played by guys...

Post by: Under the moon on March 18, 2005, 08:47:17 pm: Perhaps they should impliment a \'romance/compatiblity\' stat in the game. That would have the ladies coming in droves.

*tries to keep a strait face...fails*

Seriously though, it just seems like MMORPGs aren\'t most lady\'s thing.

*sighs*

Saddly. They do tend to be better roleplayers.

Why hellooooo, Demarthl you\'re looking fine today. WHAT?!? You have to kidding me... *runs away screaming as \'The Crying Game\' starts to play.

Post by: Incenjucar on March 18, 2005, 09:00:13 pm: There actually -is- a \"Romance-oriented\" RPG now...

Blue something or other... has psychic animals and combat takes a back seat. Its a d20 book.

Hmm. The evil smiley here is more evil than at other sites.

The evilness was actually not directed at you. It was an extension of the cartoon you posted directed at the person you quoted who made the Sims comment.

I don\'t need romance in-game. I\'m married with a baby on the way. Sometimes, I just want to go out and make things burst into flame with my mind. Can\'t wait until I get a spell that will do that. Freezing will have to do for now. ;)

That\'s why I asked in the forum, silly. Curiosity. I, uh, know girls are normal people. I\'m one of them. I just hadn\'t run into actual fellow estrogen producers yet in-game.

I\'m an admin in another [very different] online game called Project Rockstar, and there\'s at least a 10:1 ratio of males to females. I bet it\'s even more extreme in an RPG like this. I just thought it would be nice to identify at least one other female playing the game. Oh well. I\'ve only managed to attract the male of the species with my subject line. I should\'ve known. ;)

Post by: Under the moon on March 19, 2005, 07:21:56 am: Look though \'The faces behind the players\' thread. You\'ll find some nice ladies there. A lot of them are active ingame. But you are right, I\'m betting more of a 100:1 ratio.

Just be glad your not getting any \'Hoot, hoots\' and catcalls. :rolleyes: Teenagers.

The sad truth, m\'fraid.

Tis a sad truth indeed. How is talking to a girl in real life and on the internet any different? I would say talking to a girl in real life would be more edgy then talking to a girl through a box. But I guess people like words better then speech :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Under the moon on March 20, 2005, 06:29:57 am: For crying out loud! Just look what you\'ve started Karistina. Enki bums, dwarf drowning, mad girl-picture hunts, male/female players outed, Moogie gone wild, and fires at Kada\'s. Next someone is going to bring in a trampoline and load it up with Dwarf women and bikini Kran (http://aslon777.com/assets/images/shot23.jpg). Sheesh! You should be ashamed of yourselfs.

(There, if that *points at the Kran link* doesn\'t kill this thread, nothing will. Your welcome in advance for the disturbing mental picture I just gave you;))

Did you just say nerdy hermit boys heh..OK! Personally never came on any game to find a girl to talk to and you can go ahead and pretend your not girls all you want it really doesn\'t matter if you are to scared to represent yourself. This idea that the so called \"Nerdy Hermit Boys\" attend to find some \"possible girl\" is probally just thinking in stereotype. Perhaps we should watch out for the \"24/7 Troll Girls\" who come on to find their boyfriends to make up for none approaching them in real life? Anyways there are girls and boys playing and probally a higher ratio of guys but the girls don\'t trail to far.
Title:
Post by: Moogie on March 21, 2005, 01:55:25 am: At least 99.9% of all \"24/7 Troll Girls\" are not female. Ever. In most cases, they are pedophiles.

You seem to think I\'m talking about the entire male populace of the Internet when I refer to nerdy hermit boys. Unfortunately your wrong, making your whole post moot. Oh well. ;)
Title:
Post by: Harkin on March 21, 2005, 02:54:03 am: Im not a Nerdy Hermit Boy! so come right this way ladies! :D

hey dont get me wrong, it\'d be cool to find a chick to do stuff with on the computer too, but your first priority shouldn\'t be to find someone on the internet... this is the reason for going out... having fun... not staring at a bunch of pizels...

anyway ladies... i\'ll be right over here if you need me... ;)
Title:
Post by: KwartzTheKran on March 21, 2005, 04:26:28 pm: Nerdy Hermit Boys are people too!

If anyone remembers the player race stats from MB I think it worked out about 27000 female chars and 161000 male chars, just a bit of contrast =)

Very tricky one to learn, that one is. But we\'re on to you. You should have used the Hey-I\'m-just-here-to-be-helpfull-I\'m-not-imagining-you-naked-right-now-really technique. Easier to learn and less obvious. ;)

Anyways I do hold a respect for female gamers. I play a female character, and I can\'t play for more than 20 minutes without getting at least one or two comments including?

\"Hey, your cute! :) Wanna go out? Gimme some money. Please.\"

What I find more interesting is some gamers choose to skip the foreplay and get right to the \"give me money\" or even think they have a chance to develop their e-sensuality and invite me to... leud acts to say the least. So yeah, coming from a man who has been e-raped more than Steve Wozniak (Oh god I\'m a nerd :/ ), Female gamers. I salute you.

You mean the type of men we call \"Emanz\" in german?
Met such a person some years ago. Two friends of mine - both female - were talking at a party, while I was busy stuffing pizza into me. One of the girls made an anti-women joke, the other girl laughed. Then the man sneered angrily at them, and told them to stop telling discriminating anti-woman jokes.

I\'m sure that guy won\'t ever talk to us again, but it took at least five minutes before the two girls and me were able to stop laughing - silly me nearly choked on some /PIZZA.

And it isn\'t that weird that they don\'t put sings on top of them stating that they are girls, the internet addicts here would mage a huge dog pile on top of them and make m choke and fight for air ;)
