I only ever use a headset when I'm playing with friends, otherwise, I don't care or want to know what the randoms are saying. It doesn't make the game any better.
ugh!! girls playing in the same match as me! so fucking annoying!
not really, no. most of the time (if not, always) i won't be communicating with other players (exception would be playing with friends) so i won't even know what sex they are.. and even if i did, it wouldn't matter.
Only because every single male regardless of age hits on them constantly. I feel bad for them. It's no wonder why girl gamers are either so rare or so secretive.
Haha, this reminds of a game i was in yesterday where some guy was flirting with this chick and the entire time i was just pissing myself laughing.

" @rdav1109: Dumb question, but are you yourself a women? I didnt really get a sense of it from your post. Anyway, do I get annoyed when a girl is PLAYING a game im on? Not at all, in fact its usually a nice surprise because for some reason i dont meet that many when i play online. Im sure theyre nicer then the 15 year old douchbags on Live. "
I don't think you should care, people can be dicks regardless of gender and the guy is probably just one of those types. I think I find the guys who are overly nice to me because I'm female more annoying than the ones who are a bit mean. This is from a wow perspective, I very rarely talk on Live and only when I'm playing with rlf friends.
@rdav1109: Every time I play and there is a girl/woman on the other end of a mic somewhere, all I hear is *giggle giggle, flirt flirt* and it is seriously annoying. I'm sure there may have been some exceptions, but for the most part the female player is an attention whore. As I said, you and many others can be exceptions, but it is also apparent that boys 10-14 on XBL love that kinda stuff so it's gonna keep happening no matter what.
@rdav1109: I don't really care if i play against guys or girls, i don't know what the difference would be actually! When my girlfriend plays online, she sometimes encounters shitty little kids, asking stupid questions and giving her shit because she's a girl to. So i can understand how you would get the idea, from playing online with strangers. But you shouldn't feel bad or think every guy thinks like that because of one douche.
@Erzs: Well thank goodness someone sees this as well. I also agree about the being overly nice part. I'm not sure how anyone with some sense could not get annoyed by something like that when it's obviously an act. On WoW I have never even experienced this and am a little shocked that it has jumped platforms. Don't sweat it...even as a guy I don't even talk online if only to dodge all of the insults thrown at me for being halfway decent at the shooters on there. People these days...
@rdav1109: Most women dont play with headsets so its very rare to ever even know i played with or against one, but i played all of borderlands dlc with a girl who carried me through pretty much lol
It doesn't matter to me and honestly, I don't understand why it would matter to anyone, but I guess some (childish) gamers equate losing to a girl with being wimpish or less of a man. I don't mean to insult, but I usually can't tell female players in FPS games from boys whose testicles haven't dropped merely from the sound of their voices. I think it would be great if there were more girls participating in these types of games, but if that's the reception they get then I can understand their reluctance to continue. Of course, there are a lot of gamers online who just hate everyone and use the most vicious language imaginable to highlight their dominance. It doesn't matter what sex you are they're going to insult you.
