Well if by "hot" you mean more appealing due to sharing a common interest, then yes I guess that would make girl gamers hotter. If not, then I don't know what you're talking about.
Girl Gamers are hot?

Um, I think it's couple enjoy doing things together. I mean genuinely enjoy them, not just the woman enjoying it and the man hoping this boring crap will pay off later. So in that sense, it's cool.
But it doesn't make a woman hotter to me unless she's already hot. A cute girl seems more interesting if we share interests, but an unattractive woman with a horrible personality is no more endearing to me if she's a gamer.

It doesn't make you hotter, certainly not. It makes you more interesting and perhaps more respectable depending on what kinda games you play. I don't pay that much attention to girl gamers, As long as they don't do anything rude or disrespectful I don't really care.

They say they are more attracted to you because they feel they have more in common with you. Namely video games. My wife was into video games when we first started dating, granted they were retarded and casual games mostly. Ive been slowing introducing more and more games to her and its a fun thing be both do.
I can still kick her ass at almost any game except rock band and guitar hero.

It's pretty simple: you have something in common.
Kinda like girls who dig guns and frequent shooting ranges...although not necessarily redneck.

To add to your title: And damned witty too! (listen to a girl on voicechat in any server on TF2 and you'll get it.)

Kinda. The fact that you have a something in common with guy gamers tends to attract them to you. It's kind of like having purple skin while noone else does and finding a purple girl one day.
It doesn't make you more 'hot', it simply makes you more intriguing/interesting and therefore possibly more attractive because now we have a common interest - gaming alone isn't the magical key to instant attractiveness.
Now if you play videogames and like Warhammer 40K... well that's just all kinds of fething awesome (huzzah for Gaunt's Ghosts).

Eh, it depends. If it's "girl gamers are hot" as a more infantile way of constructing the thought "the fact that this woman shares an interest of mine which is important to me is attractive, and fosters a bond of both friendship and possibly sows the seeds for a relationship", I agree. More often, though, it seems to be based on this presumption that a girl who happens to game will be more accepting of (and therefore more accessible to) gamer guys.
It's like we (as a collective subconcious) realized we'd never be able to get the cheerleader, and so we fetishize the girls we think we can get. It's rational, but I think the conception of "I like you because we share these interests, and you're smart, and you're wonderful" is a lot more flattering than "I like you because I think you might actually be willing to go out with me"

basically its just a good trait to have if you can play a guy in a game and give them a run for their money and have fun. I've dated enough girls who say they play videogames but just suck ass at them.
I don't see how being a gamer is attractive. I mean it is pretty cool (that is to say if I were dating one) but if I like you only for your gaming ability, and not you personality/cuteness, then things probably won't be fun for either of us.
You playing video games provides nothing to your level of attractiveness. It might provide a guy with something to talk about or something to do with you, but that is about it.KowBonez said:Hi, I'm a gamer, and I'm a girl.
A hang out with guys who play video games a lot. They keep telling me that being a girl who plays and GETS video games like they do makes me "hotter". I personally have no idea how playing video games makes me more attractive.
So I'm asking, do you believe this to be true? Why or why not? And if you're a girl gamer, has this ever been said to you? What are your feelings on it?
Really though, I personally hate the "Girl Gamer" persona. It's abused by so many. Real "Girl Gamers" don't identify themselves as such. In fact, if you never voice chat/see them in person, you will likely never know they are a girl.
tbh, it all depends on the games to me.
Hardcore games like CoD4 and H3 usually gets them to look sorta manly, but still be awesome looking.
Fun games like Gh and Rock Band have the cute, oblivious ones who only know about the popular games that are coming out.
either way, i find no difference in hottness.
myself, being dating a girl-gamer, i still find her attractive even though she hands me my ass on a silver platter in CoD4.

I believe there are three reasons.
The first is, that some male gamers feel very `misunderstood` and do not feel that girls `get` them. So, if a girl happens to be a gamer they feel more understood. I do not think that this only applies to gaming though.
The next reason is that gaming is a fantasy land whereby bad things can take place without bad concequences such as shooting someone. Some gaming men either like to be the `dominant` and beat the character up, preferable one played by a female friend, thereby acting out dominant fantasies on the character.
On the other hand, some men find it really hot if they meet a girl who can beat them at gaming.
Thirdly, is the people who just do not care and treet us ladies like real people. Gaming or not.

Couldn't say it better. Especially with all of the in-jokes we have in the gaming community, conversations are so much easier with other gamers (regardless of gender, but obviously if you have some interest in a girl then conversation is fairly important). If I can say "This was a triumph" and have the girl fire back at me "I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS," then I automatically have a bunch of stuff to talk about, and can make little jokes (like that) knowing she'll get them.NeutralDrow said:
