men are a-holes and very disrespectful and i know from experience.

That is the most gross generalisation I have ever heard and am appalled by that attitude, I could say the same about the opposite gender.

That is very well true and I understand it was an over generalization but, when is the last time you saw girls yelling at someone just for being different (young, male ect.)

Last month.

Yesterday. [sub]I gotcha back[/sub]

OT: Eh. It's Xbawks. You can't expect much more.
Considering that 90% of humans have the ability to be dicks
And 70% often are
And 30% ALWAYS are
And that Xbawks brings out the 30% and puts them together with few 70%, 90% and 10%'s, they would bring the dickishness in the 70 and the 90, thus creating 190% of dicks and 10% of nice people. That's with maths and logic.
190% of the people on Xbox are dicks people! MATHS AND LOGIC FIGURED THAT OUT. You can't deny it.
[HEADING=1]190%![/HEADING]

When a female is in a server with me, I generally ask if they are female and then leave it at that.

Thats what a vast majority of people would do.

How would she have seen the men over xbox live? Are you saying that you see men standing in the street yelling at people for being different? Because I have seen women doing the samething.
Now, if you are saying when is the last time someone hear girls yelling at someone over Xbox Live, I have joined a all girls game and been yelled at for being male. Just because it is rare does not mean it never happens

ha ha 1 month what rock do you live under? I see way more but even more when it comes to guys it may also be as I am male but the world has not come that far and sexism is still seen. I also meant on xbox but forgot to add.

 

[flim.geek.chic]

I HATE threads like this, EVERYONE knows there are people like this, EVERYONE has to deal with them, male or female.

Your point is valid I didn't mean for it to be a male/female thing. It came out like that cause I was pissed at the time. Sorry bro not all dudes are dicks... just those guys.

Oh ok that was IRL, I don't use XboxLive because i dont want to deal with people like that.

 

[Patrick Dare]

You've obviously never seen Penny Arcade

Also, it's XBL, what do you expect? I'm not saying that justifies they're doucheness but I thought it was pretty well known that the quality of the XBL community, especially towards women, is pretty poor.

 

[Veldel]

I hate ppl like that they are douchbags like most of xbl whitch is why i dont play muultiplayer games very often

 

[Nouw]

Seriously wth? I can't fathom why?

It's pretty simple really.

They don't meet girls online very often and when they do they are, in their own strange way which only nerdy, socially inept guys will ever understand, trying to impress you.

Very true. Most people on Xbox Live probably only have their Mum as female comfort.

It's either this or this.
This 1)They were friends and decided to mess around. Maybe because you were a woman...
This 2)They're douchebags in general. Well to woman anyway...

On an unrelated note, when my voice deepens and hopefully turns badass xD, I'm going to make sure I pay my respects to them morons. It involves them crying them self to sleep everyday.

I used Xbox Live and only found 1 dick. I was playing a rather old game... (I can if I want, I just don't because I'm lazy.)

 

[Zhukov]

That's odd.

I play L4D with a few girls fairly often. I've never seen them get picked on. At all. Ever.

Granted, my situation differs a little from yours. I am:
(a) in Australia
(b) playing the first L4D, not the second
(c) playing on PC, not XBL

But I don't see why any of those things would make a difference.

Maybe you just happened to get lumped in with a pack of idiots. It happens.

 

[JJMUG]

It's wrong for them to be surprised at a girl playing? dont get this thread..

To gripe to a community that will cry out "LOL XBOXZ MOAR LIKE SUCKBOXS LOLOLOL."

Before I can turn to get a rifle they start shooting.

"WHAT IS YOUR DAMAGE!?!"

Shooting at you? Zombies? just shooting? there is no end of the story. I assume you took to long to get a weapon so they moved on.

 

[Spark Ignition]

emm I'm guessing they were like 12 years old? I thought this was gonna be a comment that guys online always act nicer to girls, cos that's certainly true! I usually just end up accidentally insulting girls on xbox live because I hear a slightly higher pitch voice and assume they're a kid! (Experience is a *****)

 

[Danish rage]

I don´t get it, when i meet a girl on xbox live i usually end up befreinding them on fb after awile. And not cause im i freaky stalker, just because for every asswipe going "OMG IT`S A GIRL!", it get´s a little easier just beeing somewhat normal quiet guy.

I don't have an xbox either, I just hate, hating and guys seem to be more common jerks (but still everyone can be mean, even you )

One thing I've definitely noticed is that Australian gamers are either much closer to human beings or at the very least much less vocal. We're polite and respectful, here to enjoy ourselves (though there are definitely exceptions) and the PC definitely improves the attitude of the crowd aswell.
