Why would hot chicks play EVE? If they were hot, they wouldn't be wasting their time playing eve. They'd be out doing stuff and getting stuff. Same goes for hot dudes.

The only exception is WOW, which is almsot so universal now that it doesn't count. I know multiple suicide girls (including an ex girlfriend) and a couple Deviant Nation girls (including an ex girlfriend) who all are quite addicted to WOW - but would not be caught dead playing any other type of game anywhere under any circumstances... except maybe The Sims.

I don't mean this as any offense to the women who do play eve. I think we can all just admit that it is essentially the flat out truth. If you were a smoking hot babe, you'd be out partying with your hot rich friends. If I were a hot stud, I'd be out doing the same and getting laid by your hot friends. But none of us are, so we're here playing internet space ship pew pew. And that's just fine.

And online? What's the point, even. Nothing destroys a good online session of Counter Strike (or any other number of things) like a girl -- not even a cute girl, just a female at all -- getting on. Every dumbass male from 8 to 80 on the server either has to be a pig or a pathetic, driveling fool instead of just playing the god damned game. And I mean it -- 8 to 80. I don't care if they're 30 years old. They still behave the same way.

I'm not going to get into a lengthy drawn out discussion on sexes here, but it's a stereotype for a reason and though it does not apply in every single circumstance, it is general enough that it is appropriate to be used as a generalization when I am making a generalized statement about a segment of people... in general. There's nothing sillier than making a generalized statement and having one person say "but I'm not like that!". Well, great for them. General does not mean *every* one.

Anyway, you're right -- there is the rare Danica McKeller from Wonder Years who grows up to be a completely hot math nerd. But for the most part, hot people of both sexes don't become uber nerds and geeks and spend all their time playing videogames or become rocket scientists. Why is that?

The most attractive people of both sexes had things to do from their youth onward. They didn't *have* to be spending their friday and saturday nights learning to program or reading books or looking through a telescope, because they had offers and invitations to go be with other hot people doing cool stuff. That's why they're often more social. And that's why you don't see a lot of smoking hot female CEOs. If it weren't for the fact that men are largely judged by their success and wealth, they wouldn't be CEOs, either. Only the ugliest would be, because they'd be the ones who had to stay in on a saturday night and make their own way.

This isn't sexist (as I say, it applies to all of us anyway). This is just the way the world is and we've all observed it. If you're better looking, you have more opportunities available to you. Hell, if you're taller, you tend to pull a higher salary. That's all there is to it. For the most part, super hot people are not wasting their time in front of a dumb videogame when their other options include hanging out and partying with other hot people. Or being taken out for a good time by people with money.

Besides all of the generalizing, I did also point out that I know several exceptions to the rule. Of course, they all tend to gravitate toward one specific game or genre. But whatever.

I can tell you one thing, if I looked like brad pitt, I wouldn't be playing internet spaceships or developing software for a living and if you looked like Scarlet Johansen, you wouldn't even know what a MMO was, because you'd be off doing cool hot people stuff like hot people are supposed to!

Also, the above does not apply to John Carmack or Cliffy B. :P

Yes, I know I'm a big evil sexist blah blah blah. I was supposed to respond with a bunch of understanding hippy stuff about how we're all individuals and looks have nothing to do with anything.

Looks are only a minor component of your success in real life. You mention Brad Pitt and Scarlet Johansen, but they represent very specific segment of society that directly relies on their looks to be successful. And even then if they did not have a certain personality and talents they would not be movie stars not matter how pretty they look. There are plenty of average lookers and down right ugly people who are successful in real life, just take a look at pcitures of various business leaders, nobel prize winners, people at the head of the government, etc. Some are short, some are fat, some are bald, some are outright weird but what they do share in common is do-er personalities.

No woman with her right mind would respond.

Do you have a clue how humilating it is for woman to hear "get on vent to proof it" ?
Next question is then "Are you hot" ?
Next question is then "Pics please" ?

Most woman gave up and dont come on vent, dont say much or play male characters to escape this hazzle.
This is in every MMORPG the same except for DDO wich has a high percentage of female players.having two or three woman in a party of six was nothing exceptional there.

Ugh... Leave the women alone..

I think it's f'd up that a girl can't get on here and play as she wants without being hassled by a bunch of idiots. She tries to get on TS or Vent and you may as well give it up, like previously said, everything else goes to hell.

A gamer is a gamer, regardless of being male or female. Get over it and stop being a dips***.

That said, I'm a male with a male character as I don't go for the whole transvestite role playing area...

I for one think its funny when girls whine about being "hassled" all of the time and then whine that they cant find a decent boyfriend.

If you have all of those opportunities and decent judgement, why not use it to your advantage? Although many of them lack the ladder.
