Hi,
I don't know if anything like this has been done before, but here goes. This is a request that if you are infact a 'real life girl' to sign this post 
I'll give you my reasons now way I ask.
Firstly im NOT looking for a e-girlfriend so sadly there will be no need for you all to eve mail me 
The main reason I'm asking is because well out of sheer curiosity and interest nothing else. Over the last couple of decades the face of gaming has drastically changed, espicially recently with games like Second Life. Where computers and online games used to be the domain of soley for men more or less( boys toys in all that), but like I said things have changed recently.
I have a six year old daughter who is completely computer game mad and she would play them 24/7 365 if we let her( I play the big meany and make her go and play with conventional toys and play with her sister from time to time  ). She knows more about PC's now than I did when I was in scondary school.(understandable though im 31 now).
IMO it won't be long before she'll want to play an online game(this poses problems for obvious reasons)she already asks me a million and one questions about EVE if she see me play it  .
I know it is impossible to actually find the true number of how many girls play eve but if you would like to post /me and add a few comments and what you think your views on the future will be concerning women and online games that would be great 
I have had many discussions about this at work with my collegues with varying points of view .. oh and for the men out there I wonder if you have the same problem as me I.E. the other half complaining you spend to much time on the computer !! (**** I don't really )

lmao yea that has happened in other MMO's ive played (not with me though )
but seriously do you think that 'girls on games' is a good thing ? IMO yea the more people you get from EVERY walk of life make it all that much better, if I could get my grandma and grandad to play I would !

Yeah, diversity is a good thing, and there definitely are a fair few girls playing. I've run across 10 or 12 who I'm sure are (ie, have spoken to on TS) and a few that claim they are but I can't confirm
Also, one person who claimed to be a girl but was confirmed wasn't, and several others who were suspect

lol yea I find it funny/confusing when someone pretends to be a girl on a online game... lol why just why. I just think the community as a whole is much better when it aint just one group of similar people a bit like r/l

Where do you go if you ARE looking for an E Girlfriend?

I've got an idea--an idea so smart that my head would explode if I even began to know what I'm talking about.

Its that time again, the tri-annual "omg we ned gurlz!" thread  .
At least you have a good reason for it though, you should see some of the other ones that have sprouted before .

This sort of thing just makes male gamers look bad. Way to let the side down guys.

Why?, did you read the whole post ? This has nothing to do with attracting more girls to EVE that will happen anyway as part of the evolution of gaming in general (online particular as more and more women are becoming PC savy).
I would just like to hear some gaming comments(EVE in particular) from a differnt point of view i.e not male.

You're a female. Playing computer game(s).
Wow, how very shocking. You want a lollipop?
When you'll be killing people in deimos and be "yaring" on TS
during the whole time, rav666 style, then you'll bring a smile
to my face, perhaps. Since listening to chick "yaring" is just
so amusing ^^

You go to myspace and relentlessly hit on every model that has a page in the hopes that you can get some while reading emo bulletins, getting chainmail, and *****ing over some ones top 8

At a rough count, without thinking too hard I currently know and speak to 9 women who play Eve regularly.
Can think of 5 or 6 offhand who have been in Eve but have since left.
It's not all that uncommon.

My question is, why is he asking about "girls" and not "women" ?
hmmm?
(I'm a guy, btw )
And if you want a game where there's a ton of WOMEN playing, then go play Dark Age of Camelot, literally half the gamers there or a good 40% or so are real women.

Will watch this space to check who to stalk. *silly grin*
Seriously, though, I'm quite sure there are lots of 'em, having been roleplaying as girls for years and the markers of having a guy behind the female avatar are obvious as daylight to me.
The smart ones just won't announce themselves here publicly if they want to avoid harrassment. Even though I'm not a chick myself, having been putting up a rather convincing act, I've had my share of male cling-ons and many variations of "LOL A/S/L?" Annoying as hell.
There are girls who play this, alright. Just not as many as other games that are easier on the mind like WoW, Everquest, et cetera. Hell, the one who dragged me into EVE is a hot redhead Canadian chick.
