I dunno but I'm kinda turned on. What do you say about me, you, and some Mario Party, baby? Let's get this party started.
Guiizzeee. Everytime I go to Gamestop all the guys working there stare at me like I don't belong.
They always assume I'm "buying something for my boyfriend" or stand and hover over me as if I need help breathing or something.
I'm like "I'M A BIG GIRL GO AWAY CAN'T I BE NERDY IN PEACE!?" *anime vein pop*
so yeah.. my question is why is it that it's such a oddity when girls are heavy gamers?
Now if you'll exccUUSSEEee meeee, let me put on my boxers and sag my pants half way down my ass

Because of social dogma. It says that girls hate games because they drive mens attention away from them.
There is a nice looking red-headed girl that works at my local gamestop, what throws me off is the fact that she gives me suggestions on what games are good or not.
I love red-heads...

Come on now, there are stereotypes for a reason, think about the 'talent' pool of the gaming world, sure its exaggerated, but when you break it down to the people hardcore enough to get a job there. You are going to be right in the home of that stereotype.
You aren't going to get many 'random' people working there, gamestop is always gonna hire people with gaming experience, and when you combine it with those stereotypes. You are going to frequently get the more socially awkward around girls group most often.
Throw that together with the fact that many girl gamers use the fact that they are a girl to advance in many guilds/clans in games. As opposed to talent, you frequently get girls that are unqualified for the role they play, which makes them bad at it.(tldr girls are bad at games)

They are sexist. I remember applying there a few years back and not getting so much as a call back, but yet they hired my female friend, which 90% of her gaming experience comes from playing Wind Waker and Pokemon. I'm not saying anything about those games, but...
zzzzzz. seriously?
Also, a lot of the workers there are just casuals and mostly have no idea what theyre talking about. (Cesar is an exception to this) You know you have a serious case of the casualitis when you dont know how to pronounce "Shin Megami Tensei", amirite?! YeaI'm****inrite.

Come live in my town, over half of the employees at my GameStop are chicks. It's pretty awesome.

You use your thumb for griping too... nevermind.
FWIW too ive been in guilds with girls, if you've got like 5+ in the guild it works a ton better as they usually are talented because no one is oogling over the the girl, if you got 1 they just snuggle up to the officers or leader.
Don't think they had syncronized yet so there wasnt any end of the month mega bomb drama

I had a feeling but I didn't listen to it.
And yep, Call of Duty, but on Ps3.

Yes, yes there should.
Rocky: It's because you're not awesome enough. You require more training! Play more Pokemon and Animal Crossing!
Gypsy: You're not allowed to do anything ever. Go to your room! Make me a sammitch! (Wait, I told her to go to her "room," but then I told her to "make me a sammitch." Am I confused? But what if the kitchen is her room?! Yes, then it would make sense!)
...there's a lady who works at my Game Stop. I don't know what kind of games she likes. I haven't asked. Anyhoo...
Wuv, Yer Mom
Ok guytalk here, but do any of you guys play with girls/add them into your party/w.e you call it in game more because of the fact that they're female and not really because they're good at the game? I tend to do it on occasion lol, but like all the girls at games I play with, they kind of rely on me to carry them to victory or whatever so I'm kinda forced to playing the alpha male cocky dbag role while they sit back and do their thing.
Idk why I do it to myself because it makes things harder on me which means I have to take my blood pressure medicine from raging, but it feels good at the end of the game lol, like I'm whiteknighting for the "damsel in distress" or some goofy shit, lol.

Insert stupid face? (ΘεΘ; )
Haha, Jk, no harm intended
And yes, I do get shocked when I here a girl speak on the Mic on Call of Duty.
FOr some reason, it just doesn't click with me that girls like these types of games because they like them, I keep thinking that they play certain games because their men play it lol
I know it's not true...

My local GameStop's employee ratio is usually a 1:3 female:male ratio. Honestly, it feels like that's what it is at each and every store I go to. Not sure about the customers since I don't go too often anymore, but I'm assuming it's mostly teenage boys. So maybe it's not so much sexism as women just being a bit of an anomaly...?
Is GameStop still the #1 place to buy games at? Didn't Best Buy or Amazon move in on that? I stopped buying stuff there after being given the, "You should have pre-ordered it..." bit.
EVERY time? They must have something else in mind.

Whatever get over it.
When I play games I play hard, when I pursue women I pursue women hard. I don't need to deal with terrible girl gamers as my opportunity to talk to girls so unless you got something else to bring to the table i'm not going to play with you.

There's a reason I take her on 3-5 walks a day and its not because she needs the exercise(i play fetch with her for that)

Australian Cattle Dog, it matches just fine, she's got some rat terrier in her too, which makes her ears so big, and will keep her decently small

Ehh, she's not tiny, about 25-30 pounds, fwiw my brother has a 60 pound husky and it has about the same effect.
