No offesnse to anyone, but

I'm just asking this, because a lot of guys come here asking girls for advice. My question is, are they similar to many of the ones you'd find at school, you know the ones that tend to be airheaded, obsesses with clothing and makeup, and spew an endless stream of nonsense?

Just asking.

There is no such thing as an acurate representaion of an entire population, since (almost) every one in the population it different..and there are no females on the internetz:x.

Well there's nothing wrong with shoes - they keep your feet warm and stop glass and stuff from cutting you. But obsessing over them? :?

well in general I would say we have enough girls of different backgrounds and thoughts so yes.

But since there is no accurate type of girl only the type of girl you as an idividual notice I guess.

Also...make up and clothing obssesed and airheaded is your "normal" female...really? I would hope most females were not airheaded...

Gamespot girls tend to annoy me much less than those at school. Man, they just make so many damn facepalm moments "REALLY?! I THOUGHT QUEBEC WUZ IN EUROPE!" Yeah, someone blurted that out.

Why would you be interested in a girl that was different than the girls around here? You already know you share interests with them.

So what if that doesn't have anything to do with what you asked? I just take a topic and run with it.

The topic title was intended to be sarcasticish. It's more just pointing out whether asking the GS girls about real life girl issues would get you the most accurate response.

Not really, then again anyone on the interweb really isn't an accurate representation of what they claim to be. I find most of the gals on here tend to be more level-headed or more gleeful while still maintaining of an IQ greater than 105, unlike some girls irl >.>

If I'm moderated for saying a chloroform joke, users should get moderated for this stupid 4crap.

What's wrong with shoes?! OMG. I guess I can be the one that doesn't fit the GS female norm. I love shoes, I like shopping and buying make-up (but too lazy to bother with it haha - eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss and I'm good to go) and do "girly" things besides gaming. I like being a girly girl... don't see whats wrong with that and I just so happen to LOVE videogames so here I am. CHEERLEADERS FTW!

Caring about shoes =\= lacking intelligence.

You're right, it doesn't - which is why I said lose intelligence AND suddenly become obsessed with shoes. Plus when I say "obsessed with shoes" you get a decent mental image of the type of girl I'm on about ;)

I don't think they are, most girls out there wouldn't even post on a gaming website.

You're also smart though. At least you seam like it at times. Whereas the TC seems to think most girls around him are air-headed. Nothing wrong with being girly, as long as it isn't manipulatory imo.

Dystopian-X

Agreed. I like shoes. :P

I think the OP just stereotyped the entire female population... each girl is different... so yes asking GS girls for girl advice is just fine, we will give you the best info we can from our perspective and it will likely be helpful... but each girl is different and what applies to one won't necessarily apply to the other.

And as for whether or not GS girls are "girly," I would say I'm like a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. :P I like video games and action movies and am not scared of bugs and don't mind getting dirty, but I also wear makeup, cry at girly movies, and like dresses, even though on most days I like sticking to jeans and a t-shirt. ;)

Girls in real life > Girls on gamespot.... it's a fact...UglyDude_07

This. I'm generalizing of course....
