People keep telling me that girls play video games, but I've yet to discover this phenomenon in my travels.

You're not playing StarCraft 2, I can tell.
Nah, Starcraft is less a game of strategy and more what you get when you put two spiders in a shoebox. I'm more of a Sins player or occasionally Command & Conquer.
So you're saying StarCraft 2 does not require strategy?
That's a terrible analogy, mainly because it seems to suggest it's just a slugfest.
Because if that's what you're saying, you're terribly ignorant.
It'd be like saying super mario is just about mashing the jump button.

I hit one anyone, jokingly. Man or female.

I regularly play with female gamers, and I dont think its that bad. The only one I know who tries for a relationship with someone they met in a game is also a woman.

Chicks don't play video games, what are you talking about?
^This, I mean don't you people know?

There are no women in video gaming, there are only extremely girly MEN.

AND I'M THE GIRLYEST ONE OF ALL!!!

XD
I see what you did there. The chuckle it caused was a happy one.

I'm a flirt. I flirt with people. I don't do it to people who don't want it, and it's generally playful compliments. I'm very, very good at reading people, and it's been a very long time since I've flirted with the wrong person.

I'm oddly proud of this, actually...
Could I ask what flirting is, then? It seems like a really stupid question, but I have no idea.

Some answers that I've gotten are pretty ridiculous. 'IF HE TALKS TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING THAT ISN'T GAME RELATED THEN HE MUST BE FLIRTING WITH ME! UNLESS HE'S TALKING ABOUT GAME THINGS IN A FLIRTY WAY. THEN HE'S FLIRTING AGAIN!"

Asking how someone of the opposite gender is? Flirting. Inquiring about their health when you know they've been ill? Flirting. Asking what country they live in? STALKER PEDO CALL THE CYBER POLICE!
Well whoever you've been asking was an idiot. Anyway, that's not a stupid question: It sounds like it, until you try to answer it. Up until a few months ago, I never knew what flirting was, and apparently I flirted with everybody, well. It comes naturally to me. I guess the easiest definition is openly taking a big interest in someone you could be attracted to. (Then hitting on is openly taking a sexual interest in someone you could be attracted to)
That's it? Being interested in the life of a member of the sex that you're most interested in?

That seems so useless. :x

Too often. Well 'at all' is too often for me. But... too often just sums it up.

no offense but as a female you know how much easier it is to find a boyfriend rather than the vice versa? blah blah sexist crap aside it's 100x easier for a girl to get a boyfriend than a guy to get a girlfriend, and when it comes to gamer guys they'd rather find a girl they are comfortable with, a.k.a. a gamer girl, therefore they see one online why not take a shot? it's anonymous and in the off chance she says yes he has a chance at love, if not he goes back to enjoying his game, seems pretty logical to me


now i don't do that, but i'm just saying following the logical steps as a guy, i can understand it well enough as to why it happens.

Well, that's why innocent flirting is called innocent. You can be interested in someone and not be trying to get them bent over the dryer in the public laundromat.
That...was oddly specific.

... ... ...POLICE!

Eh, you really can't make blanket statements for that. I've seen girls that've tried (and failed) to get a boyfriend. I'll be honest and say that they weren't exactly supermodels, but it isn't like some girls can just snap their fingers and BOOM, boyfriend in tow.

On average, though...yeah, it's easier for a chick to get a dude. They've even done studies on it...not really sure why, but hey. If any girl says on a game, "I'm looking for a boyfriend!" her inbox would literally break from all of the messages she'd get. If a guy says 'I'm looking for a girlfriend!' most people will just say 'Yeah, ME TOO ASSWIPE!'

Yeah, I suppose someone who's been playing RTS since C&C including both Starcraft games and the first's add-on is ignorant of the different scales involved. Everything in Starcraft is short term and doesn't involve any serious forward planning.

Starcraft 2 does not involve strategy.

Starcraft 2 involves tactics.

But seriously, I know the Escapists like it but 'ignorant' really is a limited word. It only means one thing and if they're not ignorant then it kind of leaves you stumped.
Someone else who knows the difference between tactics and strategy? Never thought I'd see the day...

KUDOS TO YOU! Anyway, I think that at competitive levels, pretty much all RTSes become 'slugfests'. There are 1-3 builds that trump everything else, and victory depends solely on having a higher APM than the other person. Unless you feel that I'm wrong, in which case feel free to argue that point.

It happens all the time on forums, Runescape, and Xbox LIVE to me. Not literally all the time, like every comment by a Male directed at me is an attempt at flirting, but it happens often enough that I actually expect it, and am surprised when a guy wants to talk seriously abut the game, or just talk trash.

It used to be that I would mention my girlfriend, or tell them that I'm what they think I am, an eight year old boy, but now I just either mute them or mute my computer.
Even if they're actually willing to get to know me before they try to get in to a relationship with me, I get ofended at the fact that they feel entitled to flirt with me just because I'm Female. -_-

As I think has been stated before, beyond the obvious jerks, chauvinists and creeps, its a way for some guys to interact without their looks factoring into the equation.

Speaking as a guy, the idea of meeting a girl over the internet for something serious is a fantasy a lot of our gender seem to take to (no idea how prevalent it is for the other gender).

Personally I find most girl I find online are much more fun to play with without the expectation of such things. Fellow males, give it a rest for a while. If you truly are seeking a relationship, don't say so, just game and have a great time. Try being a fun gamer and see where that takes you :)

You know how there are some asshole guys who don't give a toss about anyone they're with, but get all the girls anyway, and then there are guys who genuinely care but are alone, and everything in between?
It turns out, it's pretty much the same with girls.
I've...! Never seen it. Ever.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that it isn't something I've ever experienced. I've only ever met one girl who was fairly attractive, was looking for a relationship, was sweet as could be, and was alone. Like, not just boyfriend but no-friends-at-all alone. So because of that, I started to talk to her and we became friends. (I wasn't looking for a relationship for her, if anyone feels like accusing me of that. RAGE!)

But then after a while, she told me that she was a lesbian. I was kind of like, yeaaaaaah. That kind of explains it a bit.

ANYWHO! (Aside: I have nothing against homosexuals! I actually like gay guys! It means that there is less competition for a mate!) I forgot the point I originally wanted to make with this because I got so far off topic. Curses! Maybe I'll remember later. Probably right after I turn the computer off for the night.

Edit: REMEMBERED! I asked a girl who'd dated a string of assholes, and she said the reason was 'I hated him (Her most recent ex) so much that I couldn't get him out of my mind. So I asked him out, and he said yes.'

I was like, "And...and you thought this would lead to a working relationship? Because the entire basis of your attraction to him was that you actually hated him with a passion?"

I don't know if every girl is like that, but if so...WHY?

I'm a nice, law-abiding guy...but I am cursed to remain in the 'friend zone' for the rest of eternity. Such is the curse of nerdom.

Ha it's funny to see mostly guys responding to this, though to be fair it is the internet :p lol jk But I always found it creepy to flirt over the internet to some stranger. I'm a mentlegen and would never do such a thing, but then again, on XBL girls would have to talk to be hit on. They basically are non-existent on XBL for understandable reasons (being hit on) but because of that it's a sausage fest. I'm usually in a party chat anyway, but advice to girls: TALK MORE!!! If guys hit on you mute them. Not all of us are like that. I would like a change of pace from always hearing some deep voiced dudes curse over the headset at everyone for everything.
