no, the sad part is that when a woman goes to her boyfriend, says she's bored, and the first thing he thinks of to keep her from getting bored is a video game...
sigh..
But, on the other hand, it's nice to see more women playing eve. Welcome.

I would say "contact Zajo in game", but WGOE are having a bit of a leadership issues since RL struck Zajo and the others.
In the meanwhile you can hang in the WGOE.public channel and chat with the rest of them. That's where most members of WGOE and nearly all wannabe-members of WGOE hang. Say "hi" to my alt from me.

Welcome to you :-) And there are lots of girls, well relatively, playing EVE. And as a previous poster said, many have male chars just as many men play female chars too. So don't let that fool you! 
I remember when I tested EQ2, for a very short while, I made a female char and at the training grounds I had to geeks asking me if I wanted to be their in-game girlfrield. I laffed so hard. When I told one of them I was a male he ran so fast. I can understand why some women prefer to play male chars

There are two types of sad people. The ones who tries to convince people that they are something in RL that they aren't and others who cynically believe that everyone who says they are X really are lying.
Also, Niccolado, I should hunt you down and kill you (in game). Don't ever use the word "toon" in EVE-online! - EVE is sick. |

Ok I see a 'girl' who posted on the forums got some testosterone flowing.
Let me give you some pointers on this for someone who has been online mmo type gaming since about 1990.
#1 - It aint female until you see it naked. Even today, rule of thumb should be everyone who claims to be female is either looking for free stuff, a wierdo, or both. If they get on TS and they can't seem to get their mic to work, its a guy. If they post a picture of a 'hot' looking girl in your forums, its almost always a lie.
Therefore to uncle Herc, the OP is a guy.
#2 - Gamer chicks are great until you get a bit older.
I married a non-gamer chick. She does play some computer games, but nothing that pause doesn't work on, and has no desire to play mmo's. I foolishly tried to get her to play some several years ago but luckily for me she was resistant to them. Now let me explain whats good about being married to a non-gamer chick as a gamer. Someone has to change the diapers, someone has to cook dinner, someone has to do those little things that seperate you from hobo. If shes all excited because shes mining veldspar in Jita and you are on a PvP op the baby is going to stink and you will be eating frozen dinners you microwaved yourself at 35. Its not right.
But uncle Herc you say, if the chick is a gamer she won't give you wife aggro when you game, you can play all night and no grief! This is true, but if thats what you are getting from your non-gamer wife then you just married poorly. My wife came to accept my addiction. I have even trained her to ask before having me help with something because I might be grouped/ganged with people who are depending on me sticking around. She now says things like 'Are you able to take a break?' before asking me anything while I'm gaming.
But uncle Herc, I'm young, I'm not married, I have no social skills, why shouldn't I date a gamer chick in college?! Well in this you would be fine, but remember, just as gamer guys are known for gaining weight being very pale and poor hygiene, so are the gamer chicks. That cute girl at 19 playing EvE with you in all her free time, is going to be a lot different looking at 29. Now I can handle my physical deterioration but my wife goes to the gym daily. That is how it should be. Just think what horror would await my eyes had she been mining veldspar while drinking jolt 18 hours a day.
But uncle Herc, I have no plans to MARRY her, its just young fun! Well thats fine, but remember, the longer you wait the 'the one' the greater the chance you get stuck with someones batscat insane castoff. I found my girl her first week in college, at 18, before she knew she was hot and had better options. You should do the same.
I hope this brief warning has helped you all.

I find it a tad ironic that you're talking about marrying poorly but talking about the fact that your wife goes to the gym every day is "how it should be." Your statements about how you met and married your wife seem a bit, well, disturbing. Shouldn't you marry someone who you like as a person, not because they're hot and they didn't know they had better options? Gamer girls can be just as responsible as gamer guys, but I've found that they're usually more assertive than some girls so you can't just order them to do the dishes for you.
To be honest it sounds like either you or your wife settled, and if that's the case then you're in a poor position to be giving marital advice.

It's true, I swear. |

No disturbing would be if I met her at a family reunion. Meeting her as a new freshman is pretty average I'd think.

Who said I didn't Mr. Ithinkhasproblemswithwomen. The fact that she was hot was a bonus. With all the millions of people in the world who would have been the right age, why not go for good personality AND good body.
Quote: Gamer girls can be just as responsible as gamer guys, but I've found that they're usually more assertive than some girls so you can't just order them to do the dishes for you.
Well of course, they will act more like men because they themselves think more like men. You don't think they play a game dominated by men to meet hot guys now do you? Reguardless of who, the dishes have to be done, and its nice if you are not the one having to do them.

Looks like you need my advice after all.
If you set the ground rules early sex won't be used as a weapon against you.
Lots of ways to do it, but I'll assume some reading this already let them pull this before so they need to try to recoup.
Try this one. Say something like 'Honey, sex is a beutiful thing between us to express our love, to use it for anything else makes it cheap.' When you say it, be sure to sound a little angry, like you are really upset by it. Now her personality will determine the next move and there are too many variations to cover, but the key is not backing down, make sure she knows you won't stand for it. If she loves you, she will stop using sex as a currency/weapon, if she doesn't shes just a ***** so be sure not to marry her.
That or just be a whiney little ***** and let her control you by the short hairs.

If you set the ground rules early sex won't be used as a weapon against you.
Lots of ways to do it, but I'll assume some reading this already let them pull this before so they need to try to recoup.
Try this one. Say something like 'Honey, sex is a beutiful thing between us to express our love, to use it for anything else makes it cheap.' When you say it, be sure to sound a little angry, like you are really upset by it. Now her personality will determine the next move and there are too many variations to cover, but the key is not backing down, make sure she knows you won't stand for it. If she loves you, she will stop using sex as a currency/weapon, if she doesn't shes just a ***** so be sure not to marry her.
That or just be a whiney little ***** and let her control you by the short hairs.

Originally by: Herculite #1 - It aint female until you see it naked. Even today, rule of thumb should be everyone who claims to be female is either looking for free stuff, a wierdo, or both. If they get on TS and they can't seem to get their mic to work, its a guy. If they post a picture of a 'hot' looking girl in your forums, its almost always a lie.
I think you have some issues, honestly. Why do you care so much?
Originally by: Herculite #2 - Gamer chicks are great until you get a bit older.
I married a non-gamer chick. She does play some computer games, but nothing that pause doesn't work on, and has no desire to play mmo's. I foolishly tried to get her to play some several years ago but luckily for me she was resistant to them. Now let me explain whats good about being married to a non-gamer chick as a gamer. Someone has to change the diapers, someone has to cook dinner, someone has to do those little things that seperate you from hobo. If shes all excited because shes mining veldspar in Jita and you are on a PvP op the baby is going to stink and you will be eating frozen dinners you microwaved yourself at 35. Its not right.
I'm actually with you on this one. I refuse to date gamer guys. I won't do it.

Never really had that problem. Every girl I've dated needed sex more than me. I never need it. I just enjoy it. Anyway, I move around too often to get anything resembling a solid relationship going. Maybe 3 years in Okinawa will help change that trend. ___________________________________

Well I have in the past (not on EvE) but thats not an issue.
Most guys pretending to be RL females playing tend to have 'issues' or are just looking for free stuff the horny gamer guys cough up. One thing I've seen over the years is that 'female' players are often quickly promoted in guilds and the like, for obvious reasons (ability not being the reason) and it was quite amusing when programs like TS came along how many females turned out to have deep voices or mic issues. ;)
I'd like to know who I'm talking to in corp chat and the like. If someone wants to pretend to everyone in corp they are female and be treated as such thats great but I want no part of it.
Of course I did find this quite amusing

but I won't try to convert her anymore either, we seperated/divorced for 2 yrs, and in that time I met an older woman who became my live in gf for a while(sex was great and all, older women are sexy), but she got very addicted to EQ she had a couple strg units she needed to clean out and rather than do that she would play, she'd make tv dinners rather than cook so she could play, things like that eventually things like that, coupled with money issues(she was paying more to the strg units then to her half of the bills), lead me to get ****ed off enough to break up with her with me broken up, my ex-wife didn't have half the hate(she blamed and thus hated my ex-gf for stealing me away, but my wife filed for divorce before I met her ), and we managed to reconcile

Originally by: Risien Drogonne I'm honestly curious. Why do you care so much what the person behind the toon is? Are you under some illusion that you're actually going to get some from EVE players or something?
My thoughts on why people want to know:
1) Curiousity - Most of the people curious about whether that girl avatar is actually a girl are just that, curious. They have a gut feeling and they want to see if they're right or not, and thus try to get them on Vent or TS to confirm or deny it - once they know, most don't care anymore and don't act differently; just from my gaming experiences I'd wager about 80% or more are like this.
2) Cyb0r Crowd - This is the next step that some people'd take, going further with the knowledge that a person's actually a girl and seeing if they can develop a relationship with that person. Why? *shrugs* maybe they're ugly in real life and no one likes them, or they prefer gamer girls, or a variety of other reasons, but they want to create and develop a relationship with anyone female. Annoying? Yes, but in EVE you could at least pod them back to the stone age or block them.
3) RL Stalker - the first two are harmless and annoying respectively, but I see this very small minority as actually dangerous. A few girls I've worked with ingame have actually told their friends,corpmates, and myself on forums what's happened to them, from creepy emails to strangers somehow getting an MSN nick of theirs and confessing their love to them, etc. These guys need to get their heads checked and can be very dangerous, and are one of the reasons im my opinion why we don't see more girls in online games. These people want to get some from their ingame "lovers" at any cost .
I fall into the neutral or curiousity category personally. I either don't care, or am curious to see if a hunch I have is right, and then let it be and continue about my business - do us a favor though, if you spot some creep, name and shame him on the forums, I don't want to ever recruit someone like that into the corps or alliances I play with.

Lots of people SAY they don't care, but then spout the "everyone is a man til proven otherwise" nonsense. That means they not only care, they feel they have to have some sort of emotional protection from female avatars.
That's just very weird to me.

I have met several ppl in game who claim to be women but turns out very few really are. I actually find it quite refreshing to have a female voice on TS, i think the female touch adds something to the game.
I was once sent a picture from a girl as a ransom offer as she has no money apparently but the website address in the corner afforded 'him' a podding.
i do wish more women would join eve as the diversity in the eve population is what makes it so good imo.

I'm currently dating a gamer, or rather living with one. In fact, I moved my last stuff in yesterday (had a big moving party, lots of people helping out).
I didn't catch him at 18 though. Quite the contrary. I managed to seduce him at the age of 29, and like most gamers he had no idea I was hitting on him until I practically landed in his lap. Or, bed as the case would be.
The great thing about him is that he cooks. Really well. Even better than me. This means that there are no starving gamers in our home (except when I'm playing Eve and forget to eat, that is). We're both horribly bad at doing dishes though. It's a good thing our new apartment has a dishwasher. :)
I've given up on making him a good Eve player, unfortunately. He's only got one account, and he haven't ventured into 0.0 space with it since E-UNI left IPS.
So, yeah, sometimes the nerdy gamer boys do land hot gamer chicks. And sometimes (as in my case), the nerdy gamer chicks will have to knock the hot gamer guys over the head to make them notice.

Edited by: Kaaii on 17/12/2006 16:24:30 I started playing EVE because of my "then" boyfriend. He found the beta site a long time ago, and we both joined. We had been playing EQ for about 3 years (beta'd that too) and had a blast playing together.
While beta was fun, it was still pretty new, and i was really into crafting in EQ, so while he started right when EVE came out, I didn't untill about 3 months after release.
When I joined and started playing my first ship was a caldari blackbird (after a few weeks) and I really got into doing trading and stuff like that. Unfortunately it was back in the time of m0o and one of my runs took me into Aunerun(sp?) in lonetrek, I lost my ship to those guys and was heartbroken, but I didn't want to quit (I wanted revenge ;p ) so I kept on playing. He ended up quiting
3 years, approaching 50ml sps. and hundreds of friends later, I think I'd miss EVE a lot if it went away, but I don't miss him (my ex) at all....

The last real female that left the corp was this *irritating*, needy little whinebutt who couldn't do a damn thing herself. It was like playing with a child.

I wasn't going to reply to this one but Herculite annoyed me too much. IMO there is nothing more pathetic than a sexiest pig that hides behind his intelligence and humour. Your the sort of bloke that thinks women need a man to survive and that they should be the ones doing all the housework while their man gets to play games all day and that gamer girls are disgusting slobs and bad mothers.
I think not. I am a single stay at home mother and you sir, can kiss my rear end. My house is spotless at all times for a start and you don't even want me going into the children thing. /glowers
I have never asked for or received any thing because of my sex and the fact that it has been said that girls get promoted because they are girls is insulting at best. There are many girls in eve, but most of them don't wish it to be known that they are girls.(Some of the *******s that has been spouted in this thread won't exactly help tbh)All they want to do is get on with having fun un-harassed
I will probably be flamed for this and told that I have no sense of humour, but I doubt it will be a girl that will say this. /rant
Best thing about having no man - no one to hog the internet connection so I can play Eve whenever I like.
My views do not represent those of my corp or alliance. (Joined UKC 19/09/06) |

You can keep a house clean as a jobless single mother? Congratulations, hard to tidy up after yourself and a baby when you have all day to do nothing. To be honest, your post has no point of relevence, you seem to me to be a man hater.
On a side note, I would never admit I was a girl online if I was one. Way too many virgins who think making an e-girlfriend is as cool as a real one.
So what if someone is sexist, you think admiting your a jobless, single mother is showing you to being empowered? Sorry, a single mother who works her arse off to give her kid everything they can (like my mother when I was young) wins my vote, not some women that sits at home and plays games and trolls forums. You act as if your life is oh so difficult, I am damn sure from experiance that you could be doing so much more than playing EvE, so don't come on here and spout out all this crap about being a women and how you could use your sex to get what you want. It's not the friggin 50's /rant.

OK, well obviously I appologise for that, I wasn't aware (rightfully) of your childs condition. I obviously have no experiance of that but I guess it could be hard.
Still some of my points stand.

hmm You could say "My Boyf" (tongue in cheek, he'll kill me if he reads this) got me into the game. My husband is only annoyed about it when I stay up late. I enjoy it, but I dont need to do it. "whens dt finished". And if you have not guessed I'm a woman. I use it to my advantage if required, but its not a prerequisite. I try to earn my way too!

Edited by: BaldyBob on 20/12/2006 13:21:07 I duly apologise for replying to this topic and adding to the flames but I had to, some things in here truly conflict wiith my own personal view point.
Herculite. You sir, are living in the dark ages, I apologise if I have jumped the gun here and I obviously don't have all the facts to hand but it sounds to me like you're married to a slave and not an equal, I'm sure you will correct me if I have missed the target on this one. Please tell me that you're wife doesn't just live for you and that you do live for her as well.
Hephaesteus, truly remarkable piece of work there for being a complete f**kwit, well done.
Rejectea, I was going to propose to you that you should ask Tissa her position before replying the way you did but seems that one got sorted out pronto and well done for apologising, I applaud you.
Once again, apologies for adding to the flames in this thread which is going rapidly off topic.

Again we are going into private lives. I would work if I could believe me, I had to give up a job I loved. But my circumstances like many many people who play online games mean that I can't. I don't sign on I get a pitiful amount thrown at me each week.Please don't confuse carers with people on the dole. If his condition were to improve allowing me to start working again then the government would have to hire a specialist carer at 19 times the cost of what they pay me.

Apologie accepted. :) One thing I have had to battle with over the years is people automatically associating people on benefits with scroungers. This current attitude can be planted squarely at the feet of the media. They only ever show the woman/man with 17 children or the chav who do all they can to avoid lifting a finger and never the reality.
Oh dear I would have appeared to have completely derailed the topic.

One of the reasons men seek and value the company of women even in a game is self-esteem. Any positive feedback from a woman ingame confirms a man's belief in his ability to get that positive feedback outside it aswell. The mystified concept of women ("men are from mars, women are from venus") contributes to this belief by convincing men that all women are similar, and thus success with one predicts success with another. ---

My gf kinda thinks online games are nerdy and she doesn't know that i pay to play this one lol (and EQ2 eek, i'd cancel it, but they wont tell me my secret question that i have to answer? pfft). I dunno what it'd be like to have one play an MMO with me.
I attract a wierd type of girl though. Kinda like how a bloke would list an ideal girl; can handle lager, plays pool & cards, amazing in bed (sorry thats crude :P), gets the round in, lets you do what ever you want, freedom. The irony is, when you get that, you just want a girl to be a girl sometimes... and i WILL NOT be challenged on my drinking capabilities by a woman! the nerve!!, saying SHE can drink me under the table...we'll see my pet, come New Years Eve, we'll see...

I think my boyfriend regrets the day he ever showed me Eve - he's since lost interest and it's pretty much all I do in the evenings now (well, nearly)! 
I remember the first time I ever spoke on Vent in my corp, everyone was like, 'Holy s**t!'. I'll never forget that because it was hilarious. Nearly 5 months later it's been really nice to have a few more females join to help me keep the testosterone in corp, under control 
It's also really amusing correcting people who say 'Love your signatures, man' 
What's this WGOE channel anyway? .

Originally by: Risien Drogonne I'm honestly curious. Why do you care so much what the person behind the toon is? Are you under some illusion that you're actually going to get some from EVE players or something?
My thoughts on why people want to know:
1) Curiousity - Most of the people curious about whether that girl avatar is actually a girl are just that, curious. They have a gut feeling and they want to see if they're right or not, and thus try to get them on Vent or TS to confirm or deny it - once they know, most don't care anymore and don't act differently; just from my gaming experiences I'd wager about 80% or more are like this.
[snip]
I fall into the neutral or curiousity category personally. I either don't care, or am curious to see if a hunch I have is right, and then let it be and continue about my business - do us a favor though, if you spot some creep, name and shame him on the forums, I don't want to ever recruit someone like that into the corps or alliances I play with.
That's pretty much where I'm at too. I just treat everyone as what they say they are and leave it at that. I'm of course a little curious too, but it's not something I'm about to loose sleep over and someone's gender isn't going to make me treat them different. I don't ask, and if they tell me what they are IRL then I treat them the way they want to be treated.
I can definately understand women not wanting to broadcast the fact that they're women too. I've been hit with so many cheesy come-ons for guys that want to "score" that it's not even funny. Mentioning the fact that I'm a guy IRL in my BIO seems to have helped with that a bit, but I still get the odd uncomfortable convo  --------
