It's purely for the attention, even though more girls than ever are playing games. Sadly, though, they get the attention they want, therefore they're twats.
That's stereotypical of me, yes, so really this needs rephrasing:
A girl (friend of mine) plays videogames on PS3, who lives around the corner. Ome of my best mates girlfriend plays PS2, Xbox 360 and WoW with me, and especially him, frequently (wohay!).
Now, with the attention seeking girl gamers on Facebook, Xbox Live & WoW:
I don't fall for it as I've had a few girl-gamers on my Xbox Friends list & on MMOs. At first it impressed me but since then (5 years ago when I last fell for it) I've deleted every single one of them as I no long wish to chill with people like that in cyberspace, male or female. Now I'm not gay, nor did I only add them for the sake of them being female - they were just they were absolute twats, especially when you get to know them better IE swaring at anyone who didn't do what they say, etc..
In fact, online prostitutes, for want of a better word. Twisting other gamers to their will because they're the "exception" gamer. Seeking attention whenever the subject arises - So yeah, I think realistically I've only seen 2/3 girl gamers out of a hundred who wern't malicious prossies; and thus I never stayed in touch.
