So today i was playing Eve, when i realized a small debate started in the corp chat. The subject? "Do girls play EVE" Now this sounds in a way like im mocking either girls or the game eve but im not.
Someone mentioned that there was no girls who played eve, and another said that there are. My personal opinion was i really dont think girls play eve, vid games yes, Eve, NO. I think out of the 30 000 people online right now there will be less than 500 playing.
This then arises another topic on this subject... Who is the hottest girl out there who has an eve account...?

Yes, they do. Use eve voice more and you will hear one or two. They are heavily outnumbered, however, partly because it is a self-fulfilling prophecy that there are no girls in Eve. It's stated so often that the girls that do come in iften drift away again. The environment and attitude of the players and even the game itself tends to alienate them.

Would you believe me if I told you that we have two girls in our corp?

Ya why wouldn't i believe you if you said you have two girls in your corp? BUT I think since there's two girls you need to ask them for a pic each to post on this forum so we can all rate them :)

I would think that's the exact reason as to why girls are slightly hesitant to announce their sex openly :D

5% of the playerbase is female (statistic published by CCP). So out of your 30,000 number, 1500 would be female. Two of the CSM reps are female.
As for your other questions about who's hot and pics, get a life.

Wow statistics and everything, thats cool. I didn't make this thread to be a pervert creep in anyway. I thought id ask because it was something people were talking about. And as for pics and stuff, like i said a non creepy way, I think it would be ****in awesome to get some girls posting pictures and i bet A lot of other people would agree.
But anyways Mr.Statistics gave me the answer. Thanks!

I've heard rumors that females only make up a few percentage points of the playerbase, and I'd be surprised if this wasn't true.
Competition - and not just the friendly type (definitely not the friendly type) is the central theme of Eve.
And even though I'm really trying not to stereotype here, this really isn't the kind of gameplay that appeals to most females.

Well, since my wife and I sit right next to each other and play every night, I can guarantee that there is at least *one* girl who plays.  We use voice chat, so fleet up with us sometime and listen for yourself.
Also, another anecdotal reference: this same conversation came up the other night in npc corp chat and I challenged some "girl" who just sounded to me like a guy, the way he was talking. Well, she got out a webcam and took pictures of herself holding up a sign with my name. Surprise of all surprises, she wasn't bad looking. I have to admit, I suffer from the same prejudices that you seem to: I was surprised to learn that a good looking girl would be playing EVE all alone at night, hanging around in chat with a bunch of guys. Amazingly, some do.

There are 3 women in my corp, so yeah, women play eve. There are probably a fair few who do, but most, I imagine, don't let on that they are women until they can trust that their corpmates won't start acting like 13 year old boys around them.
Thanks for the Maulus BPO nerf! :D |

Most women are not hesitant about saying, "yes I'm a woman and play video games". We just don't go around with a giant billboard above our heads saying woman here. For my own reasons is because it always leads to the innevitable "There are no womenz on the internetz!" followed by "Pics plz". It's annoying.
There actually was a corp in eve comprised completly of women though. I am not sure if they are still around or not. To join you just had to log onto vent and talk to prove you were a woman. Not that difficult.

Yes, they do, but you're not helping matters. I'm afraid I must invoke XKCD on this issue...

the thing i have found compared to other mmos is that the reaction here is...a little different.
For example, if i am sitting happily chatting to someone in a convo, helping the out with something, and say, after 20 minutes, i mention "well, i normally fleet with my boyfriend and provide support with my osprey" (while discussing early available support ships)
the following responses have occured:
"ooooh, a girl, cool"...this is the usual mmo response, has happened in about half of convos
"lol, sorry, didnt know you were a girl, will ask someone else" Convo tab: you are alone...happens in about 1/4 of the discussions
".........." again, left alone in convo, happens in the remainder.
personally, when i have people with the latter responses, i add them to my list of names to go hunting for at a later date  if having a convo with a member of the female gender about an interweb spaceships game is not in their realm of possibility, then getting shot down by one is even further out of their imagination.....aside from that, i am nice, and fluffy in game...honest

The convo window system in this game kinda sucks; you have to open all these windows for every private conversation you want to have... I don't like it. I much prefer the system where all channels are displayed in the same window, with different colors, and you just use /slash commands to direct your text to specific channels.
All my convos are of the "quick ask/answer a question then disconnect" type, although, just like with telephone conversations, I think the polite thing to do is to start with "Hello" and end with "Have to go, good bye."
Thing is, people leave the channel or stop responding in most other games too, and it just seems less rude because the comms are all combined into one window.

Yes, women play EVE, my boyfriend can testify to that. :)
I just think most of us don't feel the need to inform everyone. In terms of immature behaviour towards the presence of women in 'their' online game, I think EVE is a decade behind most other MMO's, probably because the general concensus seems to be that EVE doesn't appeal to women and therefore they should be non-existent - despite the fact that CCP itself proves otherwise.
In terms of the reactions of other EVE players if you tell them that you're a woman, some are cool about it and some others just start acting funnily. I don't care either way. If anyone asks for proof though they can just forget about it, I'm not about to start handing out pictures on demand - real men don't need proof, they will take a person's word for it.
So yes, I'm a girl playing EVE and proud of it - now when are we getting customizable ship war-paint?
