Why dont many girls like gaming

could it be because there not enough emotional crap in them (standard girl film: guy meets girl, there happy together then something comes up like an ex or a disagreement. they break off blah blah blah get back together in end kiss roll credits). Almost every dude out there likes video games however the majority of girls dont. Why do you think that is.

Why don't you ask one for yourself?

I've met quite a few who do, but I think the problem is that a lot of girls don't give video games a chance.

They're too busy having a life.

I don't think its a good idea to say that girls don't like gaming. In all likelihood its the issue of the content of the games itself and not finding something that would actually interest them and hold thier attention.

Because it's not shopping, going to the mall, trying on shoes, makeup, gossipping, etc.

they don't want people to think they're nerd (because they actually are :D)Killer0Kevin

I thought the Gaming and nerd connection was over..

Actually I think I read a study that said 60% of teenage women play video games. So I don't get what you are getting at. It may not be games like Halo, Crysis, Far Cry, Fallout etc. But they enjoy games, especially puzzle and strategy games that are less violent.

I'll tell you why, because it's really quite simple if you think about it.

It's a government conspiracy.

Hear me out: Women are usually the "physically weak" of the human species; less upper body strength makes them unable to fight as brutally as men. However, if you've ever seen a cat fight, you know that this does not stop women from tearing people's eyes out over something as simple as perfume. The women in question don't even need any training; any regular soccer moms can pull over the minivan and snap in front of their carpool for no particular reason.

Now, imagine if these creatures came upon the violent influence of videogames. Their naturally inhibited She-Ra genes would only be strengthened and encouraged by the mess we see on games. Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, God of War, Viva Pinata; any one of these would send women over the freaking edge and give them more than enough collective power to overrun the patriarchal government and do girly things with it, like call up France for a sleepover so they can talk about how cute Spain is and have pillow fights. The government can't have this, of course, so they have doctors plant a microchip into the brains of women whenever they are born that gives them a "natural" disdain for videogames, leaving the men in charge of the world while the ladies stay in the kitchen.

That microchip also causes periods.

I'll answer your question with a picture.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

My brothers old gf wasn't really into videogames, but she played them when we did. I think she mostly wanted to spend time with us, as a whole instead of feeling excluded. She seemed to enjoy playing, just the sad thinig was... we would almost always win. Since we had practically been playing them our whole lives. And sometimes it'd end up with situations like...

"So, the red button does that? :o "

Too bad he ended up marrying one, who only likes playing rockband... when she can sing. :P

Anyways, what I'm getting at, is girls can and sometimes do like playing videogames, it's just that it can be very intimidating to play at first. Because the chances are, they haven't really played since they were younger. So, they tend to like things they're familiar with... because chances are, they aren't going to be very good at first.

If my examples didn't make any sense... imagine a girl with a masters degree in english asking you to read a book with her for the first time in years.
