My girlfriend is a good gamer, to the point where most people don't like going against her on BFBC2 or Modnation Racers.

hell my daughter is a good gamer, she's completed more games than most guy gamers I know.

I think it's a natural stereotype that needs to be overcome, there's no reason why girls can't be good at games.

Games are currently viewed as the modern gauge of masculinity by some. Sort of like how surfing was viewed in the 60s.

Uh yeah good girl gamers exist! I'm the best in the world at monster hunter unite! But really it's 2010 and everyone plays games now, even my girly girl sister in law plays left 4 dead and Gears with my brother. Sounds like some jerks have been giving you a hard time so ignore them that's part of online competition.

If im playing a Game and you beat me or if you are better than me, i Acknowledge that.
Gender doesn't matter to me.

Sadly to many people it does but, i think were getting better at just accepting that someone better than you beat you without dragging gender into it.
Or at least i hope we are....

And like Souplex Said, Games are currently viewed as a Gauge of Masculinity by some.
So it hurts some Guys pride to be beaten by a Girl.
Especially competitive people.

Do good girl comedians exist? Yes, barely. For every 12,000 bad ones, there is one good one.

Um... yes. I've never met any in real life, but once I got destroyed on Left 4 Dead 2 by a team of all girls.

But you know, I think the statistics for the genders of gamers are... well, just not true. I play online a lot and most everyone I have seen online are guys. The only exception is LittleBigPlanet where it's pretty much equal.

It isn't that girls suck at video games, it's just that the average guy gamer is so socially inept they regurgitate cliches :p (WoW being the infamous example)

You're either good at games, or you're not.

Most people here would slaughter me at any videogame you care to mention.

Except Timesplitters. I rock that franchise. YOU'RE ALL DEAD WHEN TS4 ARRIVES!

Sturgeon's Law already.

"90% of everything is crap."

Are you trying to tell me that, on a percentage basis, that's any different to male comedians?

Yeah. One of the GamesRadar ladies is very good at Halo. Alice O'Conner over at Shacknews is supposed to be pretty good at PC game.

I meant there are a lot of girls who are good at gaming who play that game in particular.

I'm a girl who is also a fairly decent gamer. I'm not really connected to the FPS scene anymore but I've been gaming since I can remember and I was pretty good at Halo 2 when it was around. I got roped into a game of Soul Calibur IV at a friend's house and managed to kick his ass despite never having played it before, but in all fairness I just threw him out of the ring every single time.

Yes, I know a girl who destroys on MW2. All the guys I know make the excuse she's so good at it because she's a lesbian, but that doesn't make a difference.

I take it the same way I do if a guy beats me, by murdering her taking it gracefully.
One time my team beat another team in Warcraft 3 and after the match I said I was a girl and they said I was lying. Then after like 10 minutes they switched to calling me a lesbian instead. I really don't get why being beaten by a lesbian makes it easier for guys to accept losing to girls. Maybe cause they both like chicks?

Not at all. In context I was proving a point that although they are few and far between they are out there.

As far as male comedians, I would have to say I can find a handful of funny ones for every half funny woman comedian. Then again, comedy is subjective, so who knows.....

Yeah, I've met a couple who have destroyed me in Halo 3 in various amusing ways. For example, getting two sticky grenades to the head and blowing up a Warthog so it spiralled into my face.

Also, on this site, I've played [user]Demented Teddy[/user] in a few games on Bioshock 2 and, trust me on this, she will destroy you and [user]RBMidknight[/user] is around rank 700,000 in MW2, without glitches.

So yeah, they are a few good female gamers out there.
You've just gotta find them.

Maybe, but no-one would care on account of the fact that they would still have TS4!

OT:Yeah, its just a silly stereotype, I mean, saying half the damned population is terrible at something for such a small reason is idiotic.

Boy is that a depressing thought.

And going to college stupidly chasing after a major in Game Art and Design, you tend to meet quite a good number of gamer girls. I remember one being really good at Gears of War back when the game was relevant, surprisingly friends with another who loved Resistance.

I also remember a pyro married couple back in my TF2 days. The guy was pretty average, but the girl was a pain.
