What do you think when you hear female gamer?

Question

We can all probably list male gamer stereotypes and probably have some picture pop up in our head when we hear male gamer.

What Do You Think When You Hear Female Gamer?

And of course there are different stereotypes depending on platform and game, but there aren't as many female gamers. And of course the fake ones do exist.

But what pops into your head when you hear female gamer or hear a female in your comms?

In my experience there are 3 types of gamer girls:

Type A: Hot girls that play video games rarely and pretend to obsessed with them just to get more attention from guys.

Type B: Girls who are not very serious about video games and don't play very frequently. When they do, they usually limit themselves to very feminine games with an obviously female targeted audience. They also usually suck at any game they try to play that actually requires skill. (This type is the majority).

Type C: The hardcore gamer girl, and the only one that is actually GOOD at video games. Usually pretty unattractive as well, which defeats the whole appeal of "gamer girls".

I'm a gamer and I don't fit the gamer stereotypes at all, so I don't think of stereotypes when I hear of a female gamer, I just think of a girl that likes playing games. Though I do wonder if she's really a gamer, cause most of the girls I've heard say they're gamers, consider candy crush and the Sims as being a gamer -_-

*Points at myself* :D I just think of how I am and the games I play. Though if another chick says she only plays halo or COD along with only xbox. I'm just going to give them this face. -_- The same goes for dudes like that too. My list of all the video games I've played so far are on my profile.

I love games. I don't know every name but put me in front of a system and i will know how to control and play the game like i've been running it for years. But Call of Duty is a good one because i played it with my brother and it was quite interesting.

It doesn't bother me to hear men or women. I grewup with video games, and I grew up with brothers. These girls trying to call games sexist and racist need to leave them alone. Those are the girls I don't like, especially phonies like anita sarkeezian.

Uhm. Gamers are gamers, gender doesn't matter.  Anyone can enjoy a hobby. :\

theoverlookeddude · Answer

Any girl using that label is a fake. Hard enough to trust females as it is but if she uses that then I will challenge her to name some non mainstream garbage that she has played. If all she says is Call of Duty or Minecraft... she is just an attention whore.

This: girl who plays games vs Girl Gamer.

ZenithDawn · Answer

i Calls em as a i sees em. Attention Whores. How do i know this? They tell me they are female or they openly say they are female in a game with no mic or voice chat. almost all gamer girls i met where attention seekers they would start fights to get people to defend them they would flirt nonstop with the server owners of games or teamspeak to get modded. and the ones that deny not all do this and then go to feminist shit are attention whores and bitches oh the list goes on.

heavensgift2girls · Answer

I think of a girl that has only played a couple of games in order to be more popular to guys. While I know that isn't always the case, it is typically the case for the women going out of their way to let guys know they are gamers.

Wtf is this picture
Plzz remove it
Why can't girls be gamer?
Is there any sticker on any game reading only for boys?
Hell no
It's just this fucking society
They don't let others luve their own life
So what if u enjoy playing games
U also have the right to play games
What comes in my mind when i see a gamer girl is that i would also like to play with her
Girls can be even more good than boys at playing games

steveguitar · Answer

That's cool, they understand the meaning of having fun, rather than watching some reality TV crap. They are usually more realistic, but also dreamers and creative. They can understand addiction to things that are apparently meaningless, but provide hours of fun. They also understand that video games are abput much more nowadays than they were when they first appeared, such as going through a story, being a character

GreatnessRevamped · Answer

Don't really care.  Sometimes, I try to see if it's a girl or a prepubescent boy. lol. They sound the same.

BrownBoyBrownies · Answer

I really don't pay attention to this girl gamers thing so nothing pops up in my head... It's so juvenile, a gamer is a gamer.

ThatBritishLad · Answer

I do everything I can to mute mics in games. I already spend all day speaking to people I hate, I don't want to go on a European server in my free time and have my ear yapped off by mouthy mainlanders in broken English. Get enough of that in LOL.
Hell, get enough of that talking to Londoners.

Zorax · Answer

I like female gamers, but only if they play cool games like Final Fantasy, SoulCalibur, Tomb Raider, Tekken, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Warcraft etc...

Breadstick · Answer

Personally I think girl gamers are awesome. It's a dealbreaker though if one of the following applies:
A) They're faking it
B) They play Xbox or PlayStation games exclusively
C) They play games I particularly dislike like Call of Duty or something

It can be hot as long as she is average looking I would be more attracted to her but her being a gamer can only help so much with attraction lol its not like if Rosie o Donell all of a sudden started playing games I would be attracted to her lol.

scooogy · Answer

My girl is a gamer as well, but that only makes her more open than other girls, what led to me falling for her.
