internet rule 29 and 30. there are no girls here or anywhere near... any other arguments are automaticly invalidated.

I thought I'd give a rather pointless answer to a pointless statement. Wikipedia cites sources, you can use those and find out for yourself if they are good enough. Saying something isn't valid just because it's from Wikipedia makes no sense.

Ok, all I wanna know is how do you get to 5558 posts? Wow.

Um, no. Simply not true any more, at least not as a general cross section from English speaking nations across the net in general. Facebook (for example) makes this rather obvious.

I've been playing TES since Morrowind. At first, the hardest thing is sharing time with the hubby. Then we had kids.

Too many women.Bethesda seem to equal them out for today's PC people.

I'm just glad my wife isn't an avid gamer, my house would never be clean.

Only game my Missus plays is Sims But then again she has an excuse (apart from being female) she has bad 3d vision, as in one eye is short sighted the other long sighted, anything that appears 3D gives her a headache! Headaches are bad btw..stops other non-gaming activities..

She did have some fun stealing an ambulance in GTA IV, pushing the ambulance officer out of the car, and flying through intersections before doing a magnificent movie jump onto the beach with police on her tail... she laughed wickedly at that.

Spamming meaningless banter, I have been here since 2002, before Morrowinds release, and haven't anywhere near that lol

Haha she will have to come up with a better excuse from now on, something more original at least Thanks!

Stupid stereotype x)
Then my girlfriend is of the 2% that is girls.

LOL Bob, why wouldn't women play the game? I've played TES games since Morrowind and they are my top favorite game series (besides Half Life hahaha)
(Btw. Your avatar is both disturbing and fascinating... LOL)

Edit: Now, where is my amulet of Mara? hahahahaha

You should just answer
Interested in me are you? >:3

I'll admit to this. My wife came home early from work to find me in her dress, heels and sussies whilst i was posting on this very forum. I was RPing a female posting on an interweb forum ffs. Women, huh? Just don't get the whole gaming RPing thing.

Fail.

Immersion killer if there ever was one.

I'm surprised that in 2012 people still insist on having such narrow minded stoneage view of the world.

Strange; me, my girlfriend, and my girlfriend's mother all play it for the swords, spells and dragons. Her mother is a huge fantasy geek, and milady got into TES because I was so keyed up about it. And I wasn't keyed up because of the hype; I was excited because I've played TES since Morrowind, and after the Bloodmoon expansion, I couldn't wait for a TES set in Skyrim.

Based on my personal experience, I have to agree with the poster who said that the gender gap isn't as pronounced as it used to be, and that men and women aren't as disparate in their interests as people tend to assume (spend 3 days where I live meeting all the redneck chicks. They are everywhere). *shrugs* I'm a nerd, and a gamer who started with Sonic the Hedgehog. It doesn't mean I have [censored]-envy; it just means I like gaming and things traditionally labeled nerd-interests. Sort of like my 'mother-in-law' is in her 50's, and she's getting SWTOR soon: it's not just 15-30 year old guys "with no life" (whatever that means) playing games and watching the Syfy channel. It's an unfair stereotype for eveyone who likes those things, and I'm glad to see it falling by the wayside.

I'm not much for going to a forum and announcing my gender, because I don't really think it matters. It's not that remarkable, really, and it's on my profile if people care. There are some forums I've been to where I'm still referred to as a guy, and I (personally) don't care enough to correct it, much less be offended.

And on the subject of role-playing the opposite gender: It's role-playing. I play as a guy about half the time (especially on RuneScape, where I got tired of being hit on by 13 year old boys XD), because when I sit down to play a game, I'm not playing an avatar who is the same as myself. I'm playing a character in a world, who has different opinions and approaches to life than I do. Some are male, some are female. A guy playing a female character isn't suffering from some sort of 'deviance' (creepy advlts luring teenagers notwithstanding), he's just playing a character in a fictional world.

Anyhow, to the OP: I didn't get the impression that you were trying to be a jerk; just that you were pleasantly surprised. I'm not trying to nerd-rage on anyone, just giving my anecdotal 2 bits.

LMAO Yes, yes I am... wait what? hahahahahahahahaha





May I remind you of your own signature? Please respect everyone's opinion, even if it is different than your own.

Yeah i am suprised too,I guess this isnt the future.

My girlfriend is playing Skyrim right now and has been doing so quite intensively for weeks

I got the game from my GF, yet she is the one playing it all the time lol.

When you dumb the game down and make it so easy, it's only natural.

When I was buying Skyrim, there was a whole long queue of fellas which was not unexpected. However, I did meet a girl there right in the queue by me. I started up a little conversation with her about Skyrim (hey, why not? ) and she was indeed here to buy Skyrim. Not only was she here to buy Skyrim, she was incredibly excited about it too. She barely compose herself in her excitement once we got talking and she must`ve been at least 20 ish, I think. Secretly I was quite surprised, but it was interesting to see...

Never got round to asking if she ever tried Morrowind. Probably not.
