Oh lord, many people having a bad day, come on guys I was just saying that the computer games world is ussualy a men world, but this is changing, the point of the topic is: Is EVE a pioneer game in women playing or is it a game from the old times?

I have seen many female characters, but usually they are male player which start female characters as alternatives due to differences between starting atributes and now I am wondering if any real girl plays EVE
This is not a question of if more females play eve than other online games (if so why and if not why not). It is a OMGZRTHEREGRRLZONTHAINTRAWEB?!?! thread.
If you want to discuss whether eve appeals to women players, fine, then write that.

I am a female player. I have passed 3 years of calculus. I even survived a year of physics!!!
For the basement-dwelling sexist idiots, leave the house long enough to go to a game convention. How many females there? ALOT. I went to a gencon a few years ago. It had a big mix of D+D and Star Trek guest. Gosh, females are into space.
I'm mostly a carebear, but I love PvPing. Phear my tackler of doom!! I loved it enough that on my main account I changed to training PvP, and I have a PvP only alt ( only carebear skill she has is the mining 1 they gave her at creation).

Seriously tho, women do play these games, but then, who cares? If you want to online date, there are websites built for that. If you want to blow up stuff in space and laugh while you do it, then play EVE

My girl plays Eve with me, but nobdy on TS or Vent is going to be hearing my baby's voice ever :)
And yes, she's extremely hot. Especially when her hair is red.
Hot girls do play Eve, they're just rare.

You're not going to be her bf, theres no point in trying/flirting/making "best friends"...
Maybe he is. I've had ... hmmm ... at least ten girlfriends of assorted degrees of intimacy, that I initially met playing an online game with them.
Then again, I don't trawl the games I play looking for girls to hook up with. I make friends with people; sometimes that friendship then transfers over to IRL; if the person I made friends with turns out to be a single female, sometimes it leads somewhere. Three times it got me a free holiday in the USA, bed included.
Maybe if you stopped looking for hot chicks on the net, that's when you'd find some. After all, who's dumb enough to walk into a nightclub and shout "WHO WANTS TO HAVE SEX WITH ME?" at the top of his voice? Do some groundwork.

Seriously, wtf?
I've seen this kind of thing in many games, especially MUDs for some reason, but EVE just doesn't strike me as err that kind of game at all.

Nearly every single RL female I know in EVE is an evil pirate or PvPer of some sort.
There must be a reason for this.
Its true. The reasons for it... well, there could be lots of psychological reasons why, but I'm not going into them. Personally, I think the biggest reason could be, because its fun?

Off the top of my head, I now know of 8 women who play Eve.
They're out there, they just hide from the wierdos and internet fiends in Eve

I've spoken to two different female players on teamspeak, myself. But for all I know, they're the only two females that play, and all the rest are guys. *shrugs*

Actually, all MMOs fail at this point. Think they should have different bonuses between males and females, e.g. attributes, etc. Would make things interesting than single-track population.

Thats a good point,
In Arcanum, a few year old Diablo style rpg, if you played a female, your Con was higher with lower strenght, and you also got a bonus to diplomatic skills with men I THINK, not sure...
anyhow, they made the quests different for males and females, thought it was unique for that type of game.

So, if i care about women playing EVE, its just because i want to date them? Sorry, but no.
EVE isnt football, its a social game, so i actually care about girls playing... talking (in-game) to a girl now and then makes me feel overall better and helps me enjoying the game more, that's nothing sick about that.
I am pleased that women are approaching to a sci-fi mmorpg, and i hope to see their number growing, not because i want to date them but because... i just like the idea (omg i am weird  )

Every poster tore this guy to shreds. Poor bastard.
Don't let them make you cry, it's ok to live in your parent's basement. In fact, most of the people who jumped you in this thread, live in a ratty basement. They just need to assert their superiority over you, to perhaps make their own pitiful existence seem just a little bit better.
Weddings and rings in an MMO are the creepiest god damned things I have ever seen. In Star Wars Galaxies attacking wedding parties and slaying the bride/groom was the best thing ever. They were probably both men anyways.
Tieing the knot dressed as stormtroopers at the local Unitarian church.
but yes, zomg teh gurlz r on teh intraweb, but they are generally aestheticaly unappealing - or have some crazy personality disorder. I'd rather go to the pub and get rejected, than catch a steak knife in my jugular from l'il miss EVE. "Daddy never hugged me..."

Women on the internet are men, until they meet you in person, or talk on Vent/TS.

Like most other people most women in EVE I know are die-hard pvpers, pirate or "grunt" as jenny puts it.
Think this happens because eve lets us go on killing-sprees and be pretty violent, something that society represses. Men still have some avenues to get it out, fights at bars.. etc. Women don't.
We're all cavemen/women on the inside, now where did i put my club
I don't have a sig :(
but i do have a video

Women outnumber us men on the net and in online gaming. There's been several studies showing this. Don't believe me? Google it. Type in something like women outnumbering men online gaming. Found tons of links. Anyway, women have outnumbered men on the net for a longtime and they outnumber men in online gaming as well. Now the largest percentage is in games like WoW, EQ and such.

The thing I find funny is the ration of men/women varies from game to game. City Of Hero's/Villians is about 60/40 men/women.
My SG there had a larger portion then normal of women who play.. then there was Kyle.. he played Female char's all the time.. And told everyone he was a girl. The first time he got on Vent and pretended he was a girl, was HILARIOUS. Imagine a 19 year old guy trying to talk like a woman.. OHH MAN. Goo thing vent allows wispers.. we were HOWLING with laughter. half of us couldnt' talk at all.
ahh... good times.
then again we had a few times where a long time member got on Vent for the first time, and we were all stunned to hear this sexy female voice.. we were expecting some guy...
