So you're acknowledging that, in absence of any hard number that either of us can (Or at least, are willing to) produce, up to 49.99999etc% of female gamers could be perfectly reasonable people? Why would that be a bar to the group as a whole? You know as well as I do that gamers as a whole (Male or female) are far more than 50% assholes, and if there's any doubting that, play at least one game of DotA or HoN.
|
Amen to that. I think DotA/HoN attracts the biggest knuckle-dragging douchetards on the fucking planet.
Female gamers ARE generally attention whores. And I'll tell you why. They KNOW that there are a lot of horny lonely guys there and they've ventured to a place few women dare to tread. This means NO/LESS competition for male attention. This sort of overwhelming male dynamic attracts those who would have trouble getting male attention in "traditional" environments such as clubs, bars, school, etc... where such factors as physical appearance and/or conversation skills are a factor. (Meaning, a girl with a lisp, or some other problem that precludes her from carrying on a normal conversation in person)
Take from that what you want.
As a female gamer who isn't looking for male attention (anymore, I got it now haha)... I play because I want to play, and I get annoyed when horny 17 year old retards are like "omg boobs" and I'm like "dude I'm 30 and taken so stfu".
But I'm not the majority.

Your attempts at inductive reasoning are futile!

Thanks for posting Crimson, it actually helps that you posted. Yeah, I do agree, a good lot of guys are just as much to blame for the whole issue of completely disregarding the game you're playing then focusing on socializing as if it's some retarded social game.
My point was though, regardless of whether who's at fault (female or male gamers when the whole LOL OMG BEWBS! shit comes up in a game), if you have a female that games with you alot and you play alot of random online matches with them, chances are much higher of that annoying situation to occur with you in the middle than if you have a male partner.

Females are just hard to get along with
|
No they're not. I suggest you work on the way you relate to females instead of trying to find a replacement game buddy.
|
Seriously? Have you ever played an online game with a girl?
15 out of the 16 people magically know their mic is working and proceed to small talk constantly. Then when the girl leaves the game so does about 12 of those guys because they have lost the one thing keeping their interest.
Pictured: Every online game with a female attendee

And so long as you (And your fellow gamers) continue to see females like this, nothing will change. I still don't see enough of a problem for you to automatically exclude 51% of the population, and the attitude you're taking in this application is contributing to the problem you're describing. It's like someone spamming up RenForums with posts complaining about why this place sucks, when their posts would be the ones contributing to the suck.
Just something that jumped out at me, that's all.

Btw, it's funny that Oblivion hasn't responded to this topic at all, yet Dover and george zimmer are posting page long replies.
|
What's funny about it? Oblivion doesn't need to reply. To use a metaphor, he's put his wanted ad up, now he just has to wait for repliers to come to him, not check the paper for what people are saying about it.
Also, this topic is in no way HoF material. Shitsux.

I still don't really get why people think it's weird that he's asking. When me and a couple buds needed a fourth for our golf crew, we put up an ad on Craigslist, because the rest of our friends are retards.
It worked, and we got a cool dude. So why won't it work for gaming? =/

This misfit is as resilient as he is repulsive. What went through your mind when you grew hair on your double chin? Is it your way of guessing where your jawline might be? Questions, questions...
|
The real question I asked and insinuated several times in this thread already is what the hell is up with your morbid fascination with my looks and weight? You haven't been able to talk about anything else yet, and chances are you'll reply to this with some verbose way of saying "LOL FATTY" (And I know that because you're a predictible faggot). Answer that, and I may consider answering about my beard.

I have thought up a concept for a TV-show involving SS, Dover, and lots of axes.

I'd like to hear this idea.

Honestly, I could care less about your beard. It's just blatantly obvious that you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. As for your prediction, there is no fun in pointing out the obvious, so I'll let you do it yourself.
| Dover wrote on Wed, 24 June 2009 16:31 |
I look like a bit of a fatty here, but he's me at Big Sur.
|
Really? A bit? 
You can keep up the phony bravado, but nobody here is ever going to take you seriously because they know full well where it came from - mr. stereotype:
|
Good dodge. Troop would be proud. I'll ask again; "What is up with your morbid fascination with my looks and weight?"
Haha, yeah. I'm the one with the bravado. It's real easy to hide behind someone elses picture type up a mighty shitstorm. I'm plenty comfortable in my skin, that's why I posted the in the first place. It's another matter entirely that in the multitude of picture threads (Including the one bumped right now), I'm yet to see your picture anyway. You clearly see them--you post in them, yet all you do is talk shit about how ugly everyone else is without posting your ugly mug for others to ridicule you about. What are you afraid of?
Edit: , faggot.

Nice.
We get it, you're comfortable living without a jawline. I mean, that's probably why you felt the need to point out how the picture makes you 'look' like "a bit for a fatty", right? How dare that picture deceive us like that!
The only thing that fascinates me is how your chin extends all the way up to your hairline. I'm just joking around at your expense...if you weren't so ghastly-looking, I'd have less ammo.
You should talk to Goztow about my picture. I made him a very reasonable offer along the lines of 'my picture for less moderation'.
|
To be honest, I could care less about your picture, and it's not my place to tell Goztow how to do his job. I'm just pointing out the irony in that you talk up a shitstorm but are too insecure to show yourself.
Also, keep up the dodging;

I'm not insecure, I've posted several pictures of myself throughout the years. I just don't see the point unless I'm getting something out of it.
I've answered your 'question' countless times, are you going to tell me that I'm the first guy to make fun of your appearance? Yeah, right...I doubt even your relatives ever called you handsome.
lol

And Crimson, you are definitely representative of the typical female gamer, babe.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that (and the "babe" at the end is nice and sexist if you're meaning this in a negative way).
I'm the bawss.
