What do guys really think of girls that play video games?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

I've been gaming for as long as I can remember - warning: that doesn't necessarily make me good xD. Anyways, I've heard so many stereotypes of female gamers and everyone says "guys love girl gamers" but I just want to know your honest opinion about them

I appreciate everyone's opinion! Though I think I should have elaborated more. My question is, "What guys that don't usually play video games think of a female gamer?" When people I know that don't play video games find out I'm a gamer, they usually start treating me like a nerd and making fun of me (with obvious exceptions.) I want to know if guys that don't play video games relate to you guys, or if they are the same as the other people I know

[Kidding91]

To be honnest, girls or e girls like they are call are not treat like shit like I could have read in comments. They are considered as bad players cause they generaly spend less time playing, and of course less girls play video games than boys, making pro's being mostly guys. Beside that I can tell you many guys would do anything to play or date a girl on games (hello girls being stuff and getting presents in MMORPG and such games).

I personaly like it cause I spend quite some times on game. I'm a competitor and games are a way to push myself abd having fun. Having a girl that play means I can play with her, and she understand it. I got some friends' girlfriend that doesn't play and scream at them cause they play few hours a week. I find it easier to share time and things with a girl that play like me. Bet many guys think like that

[TheLonelyAbyss]

I understand what you are getting at. However, I do think there are just some guys out there that will treat you like shit just for being a girl. You do make a great point though!!

[Kidding91]

I can tell you there are more girls using guys to have many presents or favors than guys treating them like shit. From my experience at least. But you can be sure 95% if the guys love gamers. It's better than going out to the park the week end to spend time with her beloved right?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

oh that is especially true for mmorpg's. It is very common to see a girl throwing herself all over guys in-game so she can get free gold or legendary armor or something like that. and okay, the toxicity I recieve is mostly from fps games where it would be expected. You are probably right about the girls tricking guys in games being much more common actually.

[Kidding91]

Well, I don't think it's toward girls. FPS are kind of game were you flame everyone making you lose (I'm the first to tell people when they do wrong).

Flamers will flame anyone. If they know you are a girl they will use it to flame girls. If you are young they will use it to flame youngs. They will always found a group of person to put you in and flame.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Ah I see. And if I'm not making them lose? I'm normally one the normal to good scale with fps games. Would you say they are just angry and wanting to release their anger on someone?

[Kidding91]

I would say. If you carry games or at least don't let the team down let them scream. Just laught at them nothing better than ignoring and laughting at their reaction. Anyway FPS are the worst games in terms of community. So much rage, I knew it so well on CoD years ago. Who cares about guy or girl, on a game, you are gamer, that's all ^^

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yea, everyone is like that on CoD honestly xD and I agree!! Thank you!!

[Kidding91]

You're welcome, keep aiming for the head, and shut their mouth :p

[NightlyCreature]

Let me put it this way, a girl gamer is like a unicorn, everyone has heard of them, but no one has ever seen one...

Seriously thou, if a guy is a gamer he would love a girl gamer, because he can finally share something he loves so much with a girl and actually have fun together with it.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

xD that's an interesting way to put it. Also I guess you've seen one now? Or does it not count since im not actually playing games atm hahaha

[NightlyCreature]

I haven't actually see you play any games, you just said you do, but that's the same as someone claiming they saw bigfoot or an alien, so no, doesn't count ;)

[TheLonelyAbyss]

lol ok you have me there

[NightlyCreature]

What kind of games do you like?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Currently the games I am playing are ps4 overwatch, guild wars 2, and I am trying to platinum skyrim at 97%!! I like a bunch of different games though

[NightlyCreature]

Nice! I have skyrim but for ps3, should have waited to get it for ps4 thou... I just finished uncharted 4, need to get platinum for it thou

[TheLonelyAbyss]

I own uncharted 4, I just haven't had time to play it yet. How is it?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

and it's taken me foreverr to beat skyrim xD I'm very dedicated in collecting achievements

[NightlyCreature]

Uncharted 4 is really nice, if you like the previous ones you will love this one, and personally I really love the story, and I know what you mean, I'm like that with videogames :)

[angeelaa26]

Cause the mums of the boys are the housewives and she can't Play with her sons with the console... Im a gamer girl todo, what games do u play?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

I play a lot of different games! I still play on ps3 because of mainly diablo 3, I play a few different games on ps4, and I prefer to stick with mmorpg games on PC - like Guild Wars 2. However I've recently started taking a liking to LoL haha.

[NineBreaker]

They're the ones who understand that (unlike when watching TV), you never get in between a gamer and the screen during a multiplayer game... EVER! If I'm on campaign mode, I can just hit the pause button; annoying, but forgivable.

[NineBreaker]

I'm not a big a gamer as I used to be up to my early 20's. I'll play a Halo 5 mission every 3 months.
Playing video games doesn't make you a nerd. Being obsessed with video games, or a specific genre or franchise might make you a geek, but that's not necessarily the case.

I'm any case, why are you worried about being labeled as a nerd? I think I speak for many of my brethren when I say that nerdy girls can be very attractive, in part because of their nerdiness. For, 'tis the nerds who shall inherit the Earth.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yeah, I understand. Thanks :) this helped me more than you know

[NineBreaker]

Don't mention it. Glad I helped.

[DarkHeartsFartApart]

that's really every guys honest opinion. We love when girls share our interest and it's very rare of a girl to share interest for video games.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

That makes a lot of sense, It's hard for me to believe most guys think this way though

[DarkHeartsFartApart]

Think about it like this. There's a lot of gamers who don't leave their homes. Trust me I used to be that way and know many others who still are even after high school. So meeting a girl through video games is like the only way for these guys to meet a girl. It honestly isn't that rare for a girl to like video games, especially nowadays. Even a girl who doesn't play video games will probably try it once I find her boyfriend likes them. They usually end up having fun together. Even when I was playing games a lot, there were a few girls that played games with us and they were a lot more fun to talk to then the guys.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yeah, I see your point. And this thread has apparently proven me wrong lol

[Titan123]

Only guy gamers like girl gamers. Became most gamers are shy that's why they game.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yeah, I'm curious if guys that don't normally play video games would be interesting in a female gamer.

[Titan123]

Not really. They more into the cheerleader type girl or any girl they can get.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

okay, I was thinking it might be something like that. Thanks for your opinion!! It was helpful!

[Titan123]

All good

[Decentguy]

Nothing special. Im also a gamer, since i was a very little kid. and i still am. but i still dont think anything special about gamer girls, except that they have a similar hobby as mine

[MrMilti]

As long as it doesn't dominate her life and she can handle everydays tasks, its fine I guess.

[hduchd]

Honestly its hard girls are constanly harassed on video games and i feel bad for them. Most of the communities are really bad to them.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yeah, no kidding lol. That's actually one of the reasons I wanted to ask this question. I just felt like most of the men I've ever played video games with (at least on console. There are quite a few respectful guys on pc) treated me or other girls in the lobby like trash

[hduchd]

Do different types of games have better communities?

[TheLonelyAbyss]

Yeah I'd say games like call of duty and overwatch are composed of mostly douches, but games like Guild Wars 2 has a surprisingly kind community. I think that's why I've stuck with that mmo for so long. and don't get me wrong, I still love overwatch- but I don't like getting on the mic much anymore. I will only use it for competitive

[hduchd]

I try to just play with a small group of friends and talk on a private channel because i dont want to deal with anyone else.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

That's kinda hard to do in competitive on overwatch, but if I found enough people to make a full team that would actually be really helpful!

[Anonymous]

As long as it's not a massive addiction or causing problems I'm fine with it.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

That's completely understandable

[jtr135]

They have the same right than me to play video games. I do not "love" the girls that play video games, but that's cool, and if we have the same kind of games, I would like that we play together ;)

[aksh62]

It's better to be gamer.. Than playing with hearts 😎😎😎😎

[Anonymous]

Ever since I have been jobless, I haven't had much time for gaming, because I don't have the money to buy them. I don't mind if she's a gamer, however, don't expect me to go easy on her because she's "a girl", if I were to play her

[John1315]

I love it when a girl plays video games, i am a gamer myself and its nice to have a common interest in something

[lackofcreativity]

I play games a lot and it's fun to play with them in a non serious context. It's funny when they take it serious but there's like still a jokey atmosphere. If she's extremely serious about it then eh

[Superdeadpool]

I'll marry a gamer girl , Because we can play games and can spend time together playing games because I'm so much into gaming <3

[jansoka]

They are Just Games who have a More problematic stand than Male gamers

[sofaking]

teach my girlfriend to game lol

[TheLonelyAbyss]

xD I have trained quite a few of my friends in the art of gaming before. If she has a ps4 or pc and is down for it, then I am down haha

[sofaking]

just managed to get her into zelda... baby steps.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

yeah, well you can't tri-force these kind of things ;D hahaha

[sofaking]

That was awesome. I'll be stealing that to seem clever in the future, cause its dangerous to go alone and whatnots.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

hahaha please, goron with the zelda jokes. No puNintendoed... I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore lmfao

[sofaking]

Did you just get an urge to smash too?

[sofaking]

... Super Smash

[sofaking]

and i could name 64 reasons why spending your time coming up with nintendo puns is you're best life choice possible.

[TheLonelyAbyss]

xD I don't feel like making jiggly puff and captain falcon puns right now (that's an excuse. I really can't think of any lmfao)

[sofaking]

should we Switch it up then...

[TheLonelyAbyss]

thinking of puns is a majora pain in the ass

[sofaking]

I think its amewsing

[sofaking]

but i am almost at a lost for woods

[sofaking]

Wii should gamestop this before we start a Brawl

[sofaking]

or we could just take a quick breath before it gets too wild

[sofaking]

im done

[TheLonelyAbyss]

good, because all those puns were getting on minerva xD

[TheLonelyAbyss]

yeah.. that one sucked. lmfao

[sofaking]

Yeah we're dry. Twas a good run we had there.

[disgustingweebtrash]

[Nerdking]

[shubhamchachapara]

[ironman93]
