Seriiously!!! What is wrong with it. I have a little sister who plays cod bo, and fable 2 with me sometimes. Please leave a comment about what you think about girls playing games. Pls be specific as to why it is good or bad. Or if it does nothing at all to the gaming community.

What's wrong with girls playing video games in general? Nothing. What's wrong with THIS girl playing video games specifically? I **** on all the guys, hurt their feelings and make them feel insecure. All done while seducing them.

I jest, I do all of the above to all genders. I don't discriminate.

But really, I find that most of the dudes hating on girl players are just angry virgins. Angry, frustrated virgins.

I really want a gamer girlfriend. Normal girls into normal girl things are just boring, and generally stupid. (No offense)

Your opinion of normal is totally different to other peoples.
You want a girl with similar interests to you.
Someone who does photography rather than game, might want a girl who has a similar interest in photography, to him this will not be a normal girl into normal things.

Girl gamers are the same as boys, but different in areas. I personally find we are not as competitive as boys (This is from my own personal experience with my boy friends and playing games) - however this said, very competitive girls and guys who don't give a toss exist. So it's all a matter of opinion and judgement.

When it comes down to it, gender itself does not affect a gamers ability.

I really hate when girls play cod, it just annoys me because they r always on my team and just keep dieing and bringing my team down. Its always their first time playing and they r soo excited and they dont leave which forces me to leave with a negetive ratio.

Actually...let me call you on that. This is a biased opinion based on where I live. All the women here (My town) are annoying, snobby, and stupid.

auggy...thats probably not a girl. It may just be a squeaker.

I pwn on COD when i play, and i don't get "soo excited"

The general female in your town is probably like that, fair enough, but I doubt you know every single girl/woman where you live.

Generally though, women lack skill when it comes to gaming. Life experiences prove this.

A correction to that would be the women you have gamed with lack.
You haven't gamed with the entire female population so you wouldn't really have liberty to state that.

Dude, you're not making a strong argument because it's their first time playing. You have to keep playing and keep playing and then you'll start to get better and better. And can't just master a game right at the moment you get it and start playing it. It takes time.

Depends what you mean by "master", I think the latest CoD's have been the same game but nonetheless I think it's worth pointing out that whilst noobs were still working out that Black Ops takes more shots and aiming actually works I could shoot them in a 1v2 firefight with me posing no advantage other than a slightly heightened sense of skill.

Pun intended, however bad it may be.

True. However, and don't see this as me trying to put you down, CoD really isn't a skillful game. I mean let's think this through a moment - it's mostly running around, pointing-and-clicking with accuracy... correct?
Take into account something like Starcraft, multitasking, micro / macro, etc. It is undoubtedly much harder (being a player of the Age franchise, most of the Battlefield Franchise, the MW and Black Ops games and the Crysis games) playing RTS on an efficient level.
Is that a bad thing? Hell noaw!

But, for the record on that part. I know a fair bit of professional European players on Starcraft II and from what I know, none of them are female.

So you admitted you're a quitter and don't like playing with non-skilled people? Tough luck.

If one were to strip it down to its very core, that is true, but much more comes into play in a game like Black Ops, among those is a quick reaction to a visual stimulus (an enemy player), and having the finger coordination to effectively react to it.

I'm a fan of Strategy/micro-managing myself, but the two styles of gameplay just call upon different mental and/or physical skills
