I don't think females are inferior in anything. Except being male, they may have trouble literally being the other gender. But other then that...
My rival when I play Doom DeathMatch, is actually a girl. I was rather surprised upon learning that. I often get my arse handed to me, but at times, ive been the one handing out arse xD
People who have not exposed themselves much to games are inferior at gaming to those who have.
You would think this self-evident, yet this thread exists.
sexist oppinion if you say yes.
Take Morgan Webb for an example, she is pretty awesome at games.
i know im gonna get flamed for this but on a large scale, men have better hand eye cordination and i just think video games are more of a spatial thing and naturally (for the most part) men are better at this. its in the same way that women are more prone to noticing small details in things, like a dripping faucet for example. on the most very basic form of male vs female, this is what makes females better suited for motherhood. im not being sexist, im just saying there are differences in males and females besides whats in our pants. male and female brains work differently. and when we talk about video games, i assume we are talking about FPS, sports games, arcade games, etc, not RPGs and that kind of thing. rpgs and the such are more like puzzles and stories played with a video games machine, not video games.
I am a girl, and I am just as good (sometimes better) than the guy gamers I know. We are all pretty even and we all sort of get our equal share of the top. But, I also grew up playing video games, my first shooter being Narc. (don't laugh) and I played FPS games, DOOM being the first, nonstop when I was little, so I think that is probably why I am good. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that a lot of girls aren't encouraged to play video games as kids the way boys are. But I also notice that whenever I go to a LAN party or something, I am the only girl there. Same with every CCG tourney I've been to, and every miniature tourney I have been to. It really makes me wonder what the heck girls do with their spare time.
I applaud you with grace :hat:Quote:

It's always been mostly men playing video games, but girls can kick just as much ass.
I guess girls just aren't good at pushing buttons and directing stuff.

So then, they might concentrate on smaller details on other things, as you said before. Not to say all girls play dolls of course. That was just an example. So if a guy plays Video Games during their childhood, they'll probably get better at Video Games, and at whatever skills the Video Games they play require. Like how as I played PSO, my typing skills improved, but I also got better at PSO in general. And in T.V., it seems if you ever see girls under the age of 5, they're playing with dolls, and if it's ever a boy, they're doing something stupid. So if a child were to see a lot of this during their younger childhood days, perhaps they would mimick the characters on T.V., so then the girl starts playing with dolls, and my earlier example starts. :mog:Quote:

From my experience, most girls dont even play games, but the few that do could own my ass anytime.
