Stalking female users.

Recently it seems there have been alot more female users appearing on gamespot. Not just new users, but also old users revealing their gender. I remember long ago you could make a topic that had the title "How big are your nuts?" and you could be certain that no woman would come along and say "i am nutless".

I dont mind femal users here. I like the diversity. But when i see a female users with a moderately attractive avatar i also see hundreds of male users flocking to her like flies on a rotting camel.

This girl will make a journal entry, like so.

"Hello gs, this is my first journal entry. how are you today?"

And BAM, 500 comments and friend requests. I don't know i these girls are attention whores or just overwhelmed by the sudden torrent of testosteron suddenly flinged at their mail inboxes.

What are the females feelings on this? 'Cause you know revealing yourself to be a female on an online community, especially one full of geeky gamers, will result in the most flattering of all acts, which is stalking.

Really? I state my gender in my profile, but no one has ever made a comment on any of my blogs. Also, I have barely had any friend requests. I have like maybe 8 friends and that's it. So I guess I'm the minority. That, or you're wrong. :P

Personally, my feelings are: I don't care. I write my blogs anyway, whether I get a comment or friend request or not. When I post on the forums, I just post normally. I always reveal my gender on other forums and I have never never never been bombarded with friend requests/emails/pm's, etc. And as far as I know, there are no males stalking me. :)

Pearl Of Egypt For Example, There was a guy desperately trying to get her attention bashing her, It was so funny almost childish I'd Say.

He was calling her a "55 years old Man" Pretending to be a cute girl on the forum :roll:

TC, You have a point.

Its good for a laugh. There are 1 or 2 cute girls on here, but some you can sort of tell are here for attention...

Then we have the fake girl accounts, love those. I say let the community grow.

ah, but you dont promote your gender, like other users do. as far as we know, you're just another dudefella (well not anymore, you're gonna get stalked now)

You're quite wrong. If you take a look at my blogs, I have basically 1-10 comments, and I'm female. o.O

Then again, No one really looks at my blogs anyway. :P

yes, your quite right jimmy-fly. I've noticed that alot, where pointless topics, and blog's have been made, and lots of comments have replyed to it.

But hey, whats wrong with girls ;), all those guys' that post are loners :P

That's because you don't post your picture in every thread requesting one. The same girls post in there each time and its always the same reaction. Want to get noticed (not saying you do) post in there.

Agree

ayanami_rei

lol you have two blogs over 20 comments, a few over 12. I'd say you get some of the GS lovin'.

Yes you're right, I don't promote my gender. I don't see the point of lying about my gender though so... But the last time I looked down my pants, I was female. ;)

Stalkers away!

Be prepared for being popular :Phorgen123

Happens on most internet forums in general to be honest. See it a lot on facebook, bebo etc aswell.

Gamespot isn't the only place

I haven't experienced it myself, but I do notice on other sites (like Digg) that if someone finds out the commenter is female they will digg them up like crazy.

Like a lot of you, even if I am female, I'm here to learn and talk about gaming. When I update my blog it's just about games I've played/bought, and so far I have 2 total friends requests and I'm fine with it. My avatar is of me, but you can't really tell if I'm a woman or just some young boy in it. . . Haha.

*suddenly realizes the secret to getting people to read blog*

ya, im a girl. so what?

who's pearl of egypt? god, how long have i been gone? you leave the forums for a few months and everybody's FREAKING OUTjimmy-fly

I am the sacred goddess of the pearl. you must sacrifice three goats and dance naked in the moonlight in my honor to be spared from my fury.
