Never said it did. Besides, for something like that, I'd take real world results as it would be pretty hard to duplicate it even if someone did do it scientifically. Not to mention that doing it scientifically would be both extremely hard and probably be considered illegal for various reasons.

I think this all boils down to a few key points:

1.) Chicks play games of all genres, and this trend will only go one direction: Up.

2.) Even a girl that isn't that cute scores big points with me if she plays games, especially ones that I also play. If she is cute, then all the better.

3.) If you are cute, feel free to make pics available. Like Hellchick, more pics of you in your dancy outfit. That certainly couldn't hurt your site traffic.

4.) I like playing counter-strike with a chick that has a mic and a hot voice.

5.) Is anyone even still reading these?

6.) I like the new blue mountain dew flavor.

Eww the Blue flavor (gagging) the Voltage flavor is superior in every way.

As for gaming ... my parents bought me an Atari when I was 4. I got a Commodore 128 for my 6th birthday (games on Atari were too easy)and my first PC (an XT model) when I was 9. Since I was 12 years old I have not been beaten at a strategy based game such as any of the Civs, or MOOs or Warcrafts (NOT WOW)unless the game was new or the opponent was (temporarily) better.
This is not to say that I play everyday for 8 hours, but I do play as much as I want of what I want. I will play puzzle type games (LOVE MYST saga and Sam and Max adventures), MMORPGs, FPSs, societal games, almost any game really though I haven't played any strategy games in awhile (read years) as no one local will LAN with me anymore.
Only recently started playing online games (started about a year ago) and had no idea there were FPSs available until I stumbled across one while looking for something else. My joy knows no bounds that I will finally have the ability to play against some new ... targets in a strategy based game. Please recommend the most complex strategy based online game you know of, Thank You.

The pics comment reminds me of why I don't play the first online FPS that I found any more. Some err ... individual was making comments on the shout chat and wouldn't stop. There were no GMs online and I left after he had been going on for about two hours and haven't been back. In the rare occasion that someone asked my real sex I bold face LIE (I use voice modulator software as well). I would rather deal with such comments by the male buddy buddy attitude than by having them (generally worse than under buddy buddy) directed at me.
I have been on MMORPGs where answering "girl" to a question of real sex will get you dropped from the party/guild (yes both have happened to me) and then PKed (very annoying).

In all honesty I think that the male/female gaming ratios are FOBARed. I personally know other women with the same attitude as I towards revealing "real" sex. As well as others who simply stopped playing any online game to avoid such overt behavior disfunctions.

If you're still wondering yes I am a girl. No I will not upload pics (scornful look).

Response to Inches:
1. Yah.
2. I can't blame you there.
3. No.
4. I'll be sure to get some guy using voice modulating software to play with you.
5. Nope.
6. I prefer the Orange Livewire.


Realtime: Sins. Turn-based: Not much experience there, but GalCiv, Civ if it does have online (I'd be surprised if it didn't.), maybe HoMM (Not so complicated, but it's a bit different.).

I am a french girl and I play SOSE with my fiancé so ... ^^"

Ewww. Is it hard to tell the difference? Shit I'll just turn voice off.

If you want to have phone sex with someone, pay the money - don't try to find it in online games! lol

From Kitkun:


Thanks  Don't really care if its turn based or not, just bored of MMPORGs right now.

RoN and RoL (realtime) are both fun and very complex, although the online play can be shaky (connection issues).

all ur base r belong to us!

For what we can see, girls obvioulsy play video games, not all, but some, just like guys, it natural. RTS games, yes they do, we just don't know that. In my school almost all the guys except me play Warcaft 3, modded called Dota, defense of the acients, and a girl plays that, and she owns kicks more than half the guys. Good thinking i dont play that game.

I have come accross a lot of girls in FPS.  But not so much the other games. Its not reflexs but the fine hand control that gives them the edge.  To give a real world example go to any place that builds circuit boards.  More often then not you will find women are better at soldering then men. Not only do they tend to be better but there is much more of them that are good at it.

At the same time when it comes to jobs say such as being an engineer you find the numbers have almost reversed.   

When I used to play chromehounds of the xbox the the sqaud leader was a girl.  And she was a very skilled sniper. 

I used to do that halo 3 thing for a while.  And one of the groups I rolled with had 3 girls on it. Lets see another game (fps again) was GRAW 2.  We had one girl on our team.  She was pretty good. Since it was the same games all the time with the same people you never really thought about it.  They were just another member of the team. 

Now the one game I know of that seemed almost impossible to not find mainly girls on was burnout (4 maybe?).
