Why is there a lack of female representation in eSports? (Page 2)

[MrHopper]

Because any old skool gamer knows there are no grrllzzs on the internet! It's all 50 year old balding men living in their parents basements eating Cheetos

[Lynx122]

First women are just not as good
Second there's less women who care about gaming
Third women can make more money from streaming than being a pro gamer and it's a easier job.

Because the guys are better at it, people want high skill gameplay. And the men tend to be more skilled, they play in higher skill brackets hense their higher pay.

You don't see the women represented because they aren't as talented. You don't advertise a silver medal in the Olympics, you advertise your best athletes going for gold.

[VikingBlood86]

Because the majority of games are still guys. Not only that but physiologically, guys in general are better suited for quick twitch, high reaction games.

[J_Claire]

Uhhh I’m don’t know for sure but I remember reading a while ago that women biologically have a worse reaction time. I don’t know, just what I heard

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Women and men have different interests hobbies and capacities
Why are there so many female beauticians? whya re there so many female nurses?
Why are there so many female mothers?

[Mayer101]

Basically what most people have already said.. there are way more male representatives in this area... And.. the fact that its kinda harder to get a full female esports team as they are more likely to disband due to differences. Unlike guys, who are more basic life forms.. hahaha but yeah still true tho.

[Korand]

The community's on the games they play, just aren't too supportive of the idea that a girl is better than them. In other words people are too damn toxic.

[John_Doesnt]

Probably because women ruin video games by complaining about too much boobs.

[Seket]

Because many girls think those kinds of games are made for boys. If we have eSports with games targeted for female demography, we will have more and more female athletes.

[FakeName123]

Because women are simply not as driven to be competitive. Same why there are more men playing soccer and such.

[Buckzor]

To be honest, probably due to the lack of top tier female gaming talent.

[anmari2001]

Just because, should there be a reason
It happens that generally guys games are more that girls and that's about it, end if story

[devilman666]

Esports games are less popular with women on average. Eomen tend to prefer casual and mobile games, on average.

[trapper1738]

To be honest I don't know ant guys who have even participated in esports. Whereas I know like 4 girls who do competitive gaming regularly. The one has made a fair wad of cash from it too.

[Swat_]

E-sporters have an extremely high reaction time. These reaction times are rare genes for men, but especially for women. That's one of the biggest causes I think.

[YvanKarma]

1. many don't compete

2. many aren't good enough or even reach the finals and such

3. have you seen what games girls be playing? lol

[Femdomina]

Because eSports are still not popularized enough among the girls, which is too bad, cause I like eSports.

[Anonymous]

People tend to watch the best of people in whatever sport there is. Men, in general, beat women in tennis, soccer, volleyball, swimming, etc. So being as men are the best in most sports, more people watch men in sports.

[LordSnuggles]

Because Team Siren proved skill is the most important factor in being pro. Your race or sex is irrelevant.
