Poll: Do you play games with any girls?

[EeveeElectro]

And I've come to find the more attention seeking they are about their incredible good looks, it's more likely they don't have a clue about games xD I do know of some incredibly attractive women who are genuine nerds but they don't try and point out their sexiness while holding a game controller and talking about how they love Spock in Star Wars XD

Not that I know much about Spock, but I am pretty sure he is a Star Trek character.

Not sure if being sarcastic... XD
I was making a joke of girls who pretend to be nerdy but end up falling flat on their arse.
Like when they say 'omfg, I love Mario, he's my favourite Zelda character!'
There was a FB picture of some girl posing with a Spock cosplay and saying 'me with spack from star wars!' I'll try dig it up...

Dang it, I misunderstood your point!

I misread the last line. 'Apologies and all for that.

Used to play with them all the time on WoW, my best friends were often girls, there were always a few that were a lot of fun to play and chat with. Nowadays I don't play a lot of multiplayer, but still keep in touch with one old friend from WoW that I'm planning to play GW2 with when it's out

Oh and two RL female friends we play MK10 with at a mate's place sometimes.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I am a girl...so yeah. Sadly I don't know any girls or guys IRL who also play games.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

I play L4D2 versus with friends almost every night, 4 of them are girls. I have another friend who I play various games with co-op, she's a girl. And of course my girlfriend, who I also play games with.

So, yes, yes I play games with girls.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Do MMOs count? We have 6 girls in our guild so I usually end up playing with at least 1 every time I log in.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I play CS 1.6 with my gf. She's a real gamer. She also likes dungeon crawlers and I can't wait to play Torchlight 2 with her. I'm pretty sure we'll play Borderlands 2 together as well. When you find a gamer girl you do everything in your power to keep her around. They are the rarest and most adorable breed.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

i don't play with boys because boys get belligerent and rude if they find out there's a female about. so i stick to single-player games or share a multiplayer character with my brother and keep my headset muted. such is life. but i do have a couple of female gamer friends who shuffle along with me in the madness that is...

 

[SweetNess_666]

Me and my gf play wow, I don't know if it counts because we only have one laptop and account between us but I still send her better gear etc so ye me and my gf play wow

 

[Nami nom noms]

Well, I am a girl so I play with myself

...wait.

 

[Voulan]

Well I am a girl, so that counts somewhat. My friends aren't gamers, but when they come around occasionally they'll want to try out one of my games for the sake of it, and end up really loving it.

Other than that, my sister and some people I know online. Believe it or not, it's likely many of you who have played online will have played with a girl at some point, but probably didn't know because of a lack of microphone and sexually ambiguous ID.

 

[Zeren]

I play many types of games with my girlfriend. If she had a better computer we would be playing even more!

 

[Amaror]

I sometimes play with my roommates a bit.

 

[Deviluk]

Girlfriend plays games with me, recently we did Diablo (on normal mode only though) and all the casual iPad games.

 

[capper42]

I don't take special note of people's race or gender.

Wait, you'd need to take special notice to figure out if someone was male or female? It's not like it makes you sexist to say you regularly do or do not play games with a girl.

To answer the question, I sometimes play games with my girlfriend, particularly left 4 dead 2 around when it came out, Halo, and we played through the portal 2 coop together.

 

[Rastien]

Not recently but i have done before, always a good laugh

 

[Deadyawn]

Erm, well I don't regularly play video games with anyone so...no I geuss. Although, I have been playing a bit of L4D lately and presumably some of the other players are female. Does that count?

It'd be nice if I actually knew anyone who was interested in video games but it seems I've just got unlucky. Sure, some of my mates play them a bit but they're not quite as involved as I am. Ah well, never mind.

I didn't say I wouldn't notice. I said I don't take special note of race or gender. I'm sure you would notice what the people on your street look like if you saw them, but I'm willing to bet you don't remember the ethnicity and sex of everyone that lives around you.

 

[Naeras]

My girlfriend and I frequently play Heroes of Might and Magic 3 together. Good times. :3

Most people who I actually consciously remember, of course I can remember there gender or ethnicity (although I don't know what this has to do with the topic). I may not remember every single person I've ever seen, or even met, but gender is one of the primary pieces of information I'll retain about people, even I barely know.

I'm far more likely to think "There was this girl there but I can't remember her name or anything about her." Than I am to go "There was this person there, I remember literally nothing about them, not even their gender."

I'm not sure I've explained this well at all, but basically, if you remember someone, you definitely remember their gender, as that's one of the most important and basic pieces of reference. You wouldn't know someone well enough to play a video game with them, but not know if they're male or female.

It just comes across that you're desperately trying to profess how much you see males and females (and different races) as equals, to the point where you come up with some rubbish about not taking note of the gender of people you meet.
