Video Games and Girls?

Question

Not to sound sexist or anything, but i noticed that more males play video games than females? Why is this?

Answer 1

Games are designed with the male in mind. You don't actually think they make San Andreas and Naughty America for girls now, do yeah?
One of these days, someone will start developing Soaps for PS3 and XBox, then the gaming revolution will go through the roof as every women and old bag on the planet will want to play Young and the Breastless on XBox

Answer 2

I played war craft Dotallstar every Friday night, usually from 11pm till 3am with a group of friends. Sometimes their girlfriend not allows them to join, because they say we are wasting time on playing games. LOL.
I think males like excitement and challenge, when playing games, we also discuss on how to defence and win the games.
I think most female like romantic moment, they rather going for movie than just playing the games.

Answer 3

i like to play video games

Answer 4

I am not sure. I play and I am a female. :)

I hate when I hear of girls who hate video games and won't let their boyfriends play. Annoying.

But anyways I play and I am a girl. I also play World of Warcraft with another girl. Umm.. I pretty much started playing that because of my boyfriend but I had grown up playing super nintendo, sega, playstation 1, gba sp, etc. :)

Answer 5

Maybe it depends on the theme. Gals can get addicted to dance games and the like. I think most guys who play, play shooters, something that satisfies their primordial need for violent conflict, without actually exposing themselfs to the risks of war. And do not forget its a tech thing, maybe more of a reasons why you see more guys than gals over it.

Answer 6

Here's something from a forum I frequent... something I would consider as a quite poignant reason. If you'd like to know where this kinda stuff is being discussed contact me by email.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A young, aggressive man has no place in this society.
There are no adventures.
No fair maiden.
No dragons.
No foreign shores to explore and conquer.
Nothing.
If you are not born rich or born good looking the odds are against you really improving your station in life. We have seen the last of the Napoleans, Washingtons, Bells, Franklins, Carvers and Douglasses.
You are where you are and you will most likely stay where you are.
Most of us will only move left and right. Only a few will move upward.
Men are the servant sex of this country. We do the hard, dangerous work that rich males and women benefit from.
We are tools.

Aggression, good sense, innovation and faith are what makes man born of common blood die a king.
Most of the men in my generation have had those things beaten are shamed out of us.
I know many men that wanted to be soldiers, scientists, doctors and athletes but they had no one to guide them. No one cared about the little boys. No one worried about their self esteem or their future.

No one.

Not even their fathers. Everyone was working to make sure that little girls had access the things they needed to make it.
So instead of trying, failing and trying again. These young men give up a decide to tread water until the get fired, retire or die.
George Washington is working part time at Wal Mart. He plays Empire Earth and dreams of what he could have been.
George Patton was kicked out of West Point for cursing in front of a female cadet. He plays Ghost Recon and argues about strategy on a dozen websites.

Ben Franklin lives in a trailer park. He was kicked out of school for arguing with his teachers. He sorts mail and his supervisor wonders why the hell someone as smart as he is working such a **** job
George Washington Carver was killed in a drive by at 16. He was on his way to a study group. Just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Audy Murphy and David Hackworth both do time in prison. Being convicts keep them out of the army.
Most of the great men the West produced in the past would have been crushed by the sense of apathy that has been rammed down the throats of young men for the last 40yrs.
You can tell a lot about a man by the type of video games he plays.
What people see as a CD rack is actually a list of broken dreams and shattered hopes.
You play what you always wanted to do but can't do.
I have a friend that is 6'4. About 260. Good shape. Fast. He loves football games. He never even tried out for the football team.
Why?
Because by ******* 11 his felt he wasn't worth **** and couldn't do ****. By ******* 11 he was convinced that he would fail.
Another buddy is 5'3. He played third string basketball on our high school team. For 5'3 thats pretty good. At black schools all the players are well over six feet.
He told his father. He wanted his father to be proud of him.
Guess what his father said?
"Yeah...well you look like third string." Thats right. He said the most hateful thing he could. He had to know that was going to hurt.
Once, at around 13, I was in the car with my father. We were talking about me being shy.
Dig this:
Dad "Why are you so shy?"
Eli. "I don't know I'm just shy."
Dad. "Why?"
Eli, "I don't know Daddy I'm just shy."
Dad [while slamming his fist on the armrest multiple times] "WELL GODDDAMN YOU DUMB SON OF A *****..."
I don't remember the rest. I just started crying. He wen ton cursing like that for 12-15 minutes. I stayed in my shell until I was in my late 20s.
Til this day..til this day I can still hear him saying that. I can see his face contorted with rage. I am in my 30s and I still do battle with those words.
This society breaks young men down. It attacks them. It destroys them.
Even your parents will spend most of their time holding you back while they try to move your sisters forward. Thats a hell of a thing for a young man to see.
By the time they are adults all many of us can do is work a little job, for a little bit of money, drink a little beer and try to get a little pussy.
Video games make many men feel, just for awhile, that they are doing the things they never tried to do or the things that they tried and failed.
When you've been sacking groceries at Wal-Mart for 6 years and some chick gets promoted because she blew the manager all you can do is play Halo or go nuts.
