well, technically, we're all dudes. Girls are dudes, Boys are dudes, we're all dudes, dude.  :P "

" What's a 'girl'? "

There those things that lack penises. I've actually seen a few 'girls' before. "

I think the female population is so low because not many people have computers in their kitchens...
 
 
 
 
I kid the female population! :)

Women who play computer games just doesn't do it for me.... I'm glad that my missus would prefer washing up to playing a computer game!

 Who let all these girls into the Giant Bomb treehouse? D:
 
I look forward to the day when gaming enjoys an equal spread of guys and gals. I've been lucky enough to date women who share this geeky pass time and it's awesome.

" I got another question for you girls out there..

" @Catolf: No doubt there are girls out there that would be able to embarrass me at how much they own me in a multiplayer game like your sister! I know I haven't met one yet in my surroundings.  And for the one of us, badly chosen words but you get what I mean ;) I bet that that all girls games team (forgot their name) are well respected amongst that community because they're good and they are on par with most guys. A bit like a friend of my sisters who went volunteering in Kenya and gained the respect of the men for more than just a woman because she was able to drink more heavily than them. "

100/ 22,000 giantbombers are girls

I will now remedy the idiocy of this thread by posting a picture of a smirking Morgan Freeman with a cat on his head.
 

My girlfriend is on the website

My other half reads a lot of the funny shit i show her and listens to the bombcast / watches quick looks if that counts- i also have girly hair

"i heard girls like make-up. can you confirm this?" that comment made me laugh. but yeahh im a girl! you're not the only one out there :D

I think it's usually the competitive aspect of gaming that puts girls off. Because I know plenty of women who like video games or have a couple of games that they play regularly, but they're games like The Sims or World of warcraft.
 
However, there are plenty of women that play multiplayer fps'. On the Baron's pub servers on TF2 there are a couple of regular female players who can dish it out pretty harshly. Also, isn't one of the top Quake players a lady?
 
And yeah, just because a gal plays video games, doesn't mean you two will be a great match. Or at least in my experience.

Who the hell cares? 
 
It's the internet, doesn't matter if you're a skirt or dude, or skirt who is really a dude.  Just don't be a douche here and it's all the same.

maybe you girls need to try and get other girls into this kind of shit, so that these kind of topics and conversations don't even need to happen. why can't men and women talk about video games together? more importantly, why can't women talk to  ME about video games? i would that to happen. i also have access to a hottub to talk to women about video games in if any of them would like to do so.

Ugh, something about this thread is filling me with rage.  Not quite sure what, though.

I think what drives a lot of girls away from the gaming culture is the response they get from "gamers", in that when the typical gamers find out that a intelligent and attractive girl is also a gamer (or the gamer on the other end of the internet connection is a girl), they immediately assume that the girl is perfect and amazing and they just want to be friends/date this girl so bad.
 
I have a few female friends (one of whom I've been dating for almost a year) with varying types of games, from lots of DS and older Nintendo stuff, to being a huge Final Fantasy fan, to playing Left 4 Dead and Halo, that all have similar stories of going into a Gamestop or comic book store and immediately most of the guys there react in one of a few ways. Stare at them creepily, hit on them, or just get really quiet and uncomfortable and intimidated.
 
If a girl plays games, that doesn't mean they want you to treat them any differently than you would anyone else who plays games. And don't assume you'd make a good couple just because you both plays games. At least the girls I know hate that (one of them refuses to date a guy if he plays games for that very reason).

Who is that supposed to be? "

Goddammit...

" @Ariketh: Wow, I've never thought of it that way. I'll never be able to look at Squirtle the same way again. "

Waht's the point? Should I ask 'WHERE MY FELLOW BRUNETTE GAMERS AT?.' It's just part of who you are, don't know why it should matter.

4k views get hype!!!

" Most of the time we don't even notice. You're a girl? When did that happen? "

No wonder why a-holes on television call male gamers sexists.
 
I never understood the problem with having a girl beat you on video games. As long as they're not making a big deal out of it then it's fine for me.
I don't mind having a girlfriend who has higher gamerscore than I do. I just treat them equally 
 
@Catolf:  But then you have to understand there is quite a number of players who are nerds out there, and are afraid of making friends of the opposite sex. After all, even in university, they spend time on video games more than hanging out with someone (ever watched Beauty and the Geek? Sh-- is f---ing hilarious).

I'm a girl. -waves-
 
Does seem to be mostly guys here though! Wonder if that's true of most gaming sites that there's so many guys to girls in general or if it's a Giant Bomb specific thing. I think guys often do outnumber girls on game sites, but not sure if it's as drastic as it seems to be here!
 
Still, maybe us girls are just good at laying low, lol.

I'm not sure if I was female I could take going to many video game sites, notably comments or forums.  The just blatant misogyny on display sickens me and it doesn't even go to who I am.  Kotaku I'm looking at you right now egged on with some near trollish level posts recently.  So laying low I can easily understand.

My gf uses this site occasionally and is familiar with the goings on, but only because I watch the stuff here often. She doesn't use the forums though, just watches the dumber videos (Mailbags and such, where the magic happens)

Is Kotaku that bad? "

Fuck this thread.
