I know what you mean OP. I never use my mic when I'm playing multiplayer games with unfamiliar people now because it can get ridiculous quite quick. Mostly it was just guys expressing their shock over the fact I was a female and then proceeding to ask me where I live, my age, what I'm wearing etc. etc. Although that was nothing compared to when someone would make a statement about how females suck at video games and I should quit the match. No joke, I had some guy stand there and spam me to leave while he repeatedly got his rear handed to him because he was too busy cussing me out.
Back when I played WoW if I joined a guild with unfamiliar people I also tended to wait until I had befriended a few before speaking over ventrilo. Call me paranoid, but it's amazing how.... foolish... some people can get when it hits home you're of a different gender.
It really sucks sometimes. I'd love to be able to play some L4D realism and instantly call out when I'm being smoker pulled.
Edit: I actually have a female friend who plays L4D games with a mic. She's an absolutely amazing player and because of that usually has loads of friends that she can run with instead of having to join public games. The odd time we have done a public match and she's spoken guys instantly get all creepy with her. She takes it in stride though, such a champ.

I think you misunderstood me a bit. I only break out the boyfriend card when it's really, REALLY obvious he's hitting on me and he will not give up. When "Yeah, you're so funny but I've heard enough" doesn't work, that is the only time I use "I'm taken so please shut up." You know, for the ones who deserve a little salt in their wounds for not taking the hint.Eri said:
all the skanks you mean? (guys are skanks too, i'm not being sexist) but my point is go through time itself, and guys have always fought over women, constantly, thats how its been forever, and yeah times are a changing, but thats still a basic instinct (among straight males at least)Deshara said:
now yes this is generalizing but that is how alot of male gamers think, and like i was saying its really a no lose scenario because of the online shroud of being anonymous so that's also a reason why alot of guys do it, if they can find a semi gamer girlfriend then you bet your silly ass they will give it a shot.
I met my girlfriend playing an online game. Granted I never really "hit on her" persay, we just became really close friends over time and then decided to go the next step.
If you're a guy, and all you do is play video games, your sex drive goes through roof. Then you have a conversation similar to one I heard while playing Left 4 Dead:
Guy: Are you a girl?
Girl: Yeah, why?
Guy: I was wondering if I could ?
Me: (Is he serious or trolling?)
Trust me when I say you don't want to know what he said 8l

Pfft, you ladies should be grateful that guys give you the time of day when they can't even see if you're pretty or not. You lot should take such advances as compliments, not get offended over flirtation attempts.
If you have functioning lady parts, then I'm sure that 'pretty' doesn't even factor into the equation. That's what they invented brown paper bags for!shitoutonme said:
Also, I would imagine that it's difficult to take 'TITS OR GTFO. GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ME A SAMMICH. THEN SUCK MY COCK AS I EAT IT' as 'flirtation'.
Only real time was when i actually had a internet relationship and when i made a comment during a Horror Game Lp that I was so scared I hurt my boob grabbing something to hold. (>> Got a lot of weird comments because of that little mistake and it's my most thumbed up comment ever)
and this time I mentioned I liked thick eyebrowed men with hairy legs that were geeky.
Otherwise the only time I have been hit on is when I'm playing one of my guy characters. It's actually kind of sad that my fictional male characters get more action in the being hit on department than i do. >>

...Eh? I have a semi-thick (Not noticeable)unibrow, have really hairy legs, and am extremely geeky. But if you don't mind me asking...what's attractive about that? I mean, damn, I'm ugly...and I'll even admit that I'm ugly. (Pretty much specifically because of those things. Also my chin. But my rockin' beard hides that from the masses. Well, geeky isn't exactly a physical attribute, I guess. Still...)lokiduck said:
Who hits on your male characters, though? Other men? Women? The distinction is important.
Edit: I re-read what I'd posted, aaaand...I'd just like to clarify: I'm not asking like 'HOW COULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? IT'S SO UGLY LIKE OH EM GEE!'. I'm genuinely curious. Most people don't find those attributes to be attractive. At least, as far as I know. I might be wrong.

Ladies: Meeting a nice girl who games online is to dudes what meeting a nice guy who happens to be the prince of something is to you.
every dude wants it but most of us know it will never happen. lets be honest dudes: female gamers, being so incredibly desirable, can have nearly any dude she wants online. why in the world would she want you? (or me for that matter).

...Thanks for that. No, really, it's not like I planned on not crying myself to sleep tonight. I already do that every night.t3h br0th3r said:
If it helps, you can think of it like a free lottery. Sure, chances are that you won't even come close to scoring...but since it doesn't cost anything to try, why not toss your lot into the competition? At least you have a 0.000001% chance of winning big as opposed to the 0%.
No one in that movie made me think 'I wanta hit that'. Good movie though.Souplex said:Oh right; the lady who played Juno. Seeing performance in that waste of film allows me to easily resist her.Nimcha said:A very charming Canadian actress.Souplex said:
That guy has to be trolling. That can't be real. Holy crap. I love that guy that comes in at the middle and is like "Whoa, what's going on here?"binnsyboy said:
Funniest stuff I have seen all day.
But yeah, I actually conducted a social experiment with some of my classmates in psychology. I pretended to be a 12 year old girl, another guy pretended to be a 15 year old girl, and a third pretended to be a 25 year old girl, with the actual girls among us recording results. The 15 year old got the most sincere proposals for a date after a 1 month period, but I got what we dubbed "th most creepifying responses." It was on tf2 by the way. Some REALLY creepy dudes out there.
I'm in the same boat, although I usually drop the "Oh, but my boyfriend AND girlfriend don't really like guys talking to me like that, so..."Bara_no_Hime said:
