This is so true! Some guys say all the time they wish to meet some girl to talk about videogames or to play them together, but most of the time they end demonstrating they like girls who don't play videogames at all, because they don't like tomboys or girls who, for example, can beat them. And it often happens that if they meet girls who play videogames, they end considering them as their male friends, as if "real" girls wouldn't do anything like that.

Exactly!! Guys who find these tomboyish girls would only consider them as "real great pals" instead of "girlfriend material". I guess what guys are looking for are girls who are "guy-ish" and "girl-ish".

LOL, that's true. I was practising VF 4 real hard and I was feeling a real tough mother. Then my girl joined one day and started beating my ass with all the female characters...that day you could hear my controller crack
I was raging with fury and started training more and more with the game but still most of the times my girl kicks my ass... She's just one bad VF player.

Heh, heh...that feeling is the worst. It's like, you practice for days and nights to perfect all the moves for that character and then that one day, somebody comes along and just ruins it all. But hey, don't worry...I'm like that too, lol.

OK...I'm digressing...but, even though it's discouraging that some guys are like that I would say don't be afraid to be yourselves and talk abotu videogames all you want and beat our asses at them, too. I don't think it will ruin your image in the end one bit. That just doesn't make sense to me.

_RED_ stuff

Oh hey, us girls can be ourselves just fine and talk about videogames 24/7....of course, as a result, we'll be single all our lives! That's because of that whole "male problem" I stated in my earlier post. And while I said that not all guys aren't like that, it's really hard to find those type of guys, ya know?

Anyways, it's annoying when anybody comes over and starts beating your ass at a game you own so maybe it's not necessarily cuz it might be a girl.

That's true...but actually the whole girl thing is a huge part though. I mean, let's say there's two guys who play a fighting game and one of them loses. Sure, there's that "Oh man..." but when a girl comes along, it's like "Ohhh man..." That's 'cause guys have that stereotypical thinking that "females are weak" so when a girl actually beats them, it's just a little more annoying. ^^;;;
