Many girls weren't raised with the idea that it would be socially acceptable, either by parents or peers. They're out there though... a lot more than one would think.
The girls I know like old school NES and SNES games (but I'm an old man, 26). I don't think killing aliens as a 275 lbs. space marine appeals to girls.
There are a lot of girls I know who play games. However it's tough to say any of them are really "hardcore" gamers. Most play Guitar Hero and Wii Sports. :?
There's plenty of female gamers out there, I know quite a few, but none of them are ones I would ever consider dating. Not very ladylike: they wear baggy clothing, don't fix their hair (or have it in some weird style), and cuss a lot. Not exactly the desirable type.
I'm lonely. I want companionship. But I don't want to spend any effort in getting it. I'd much rather sit on my ass playing video games. Why do I have to find a girl? Why can't girls find me? They don't even have to trouble themselves by looking for me. I'm right here! I'll tell them where I am, seriously. Please. *sniff* I'm so lonely.

Speak for yourself. Some of us aren't looking for saints.

So, being a tomboy is not acceptable? Well, thankfully I'd never date a prude.
It wasn't hard for me at all. My best friend is a girl, she loves Zelda games and all of her friends like Assassin's Creed and Mirror's Edge.
It's not exactly something I was looking for, though, it just happens to be. Out of all the things you want to find about a person, whether or not they play/enjoy videogames shouldn't really be too high on the list.

Maybe because girls who actually enjoy games other than guitar hero and hello kitty island adventure don't want a whole relationship based off of the fact that they play games. I would certainly have a problem with it if the only reason my boyfriend became interested in me was because I played games, or that it's the central point of his reasoning why he has a good girlfriend.
[QUOTE="UT_Wrestler"] A girl can be a tomboy and still be attractive, but shopping shopping for clothing and the men's department and doing nothing with the hair is not attractive. I'm a tomboy. I wear whatever I want. I don't look like a girly girl, nor do I look like a guy. I swear, I have a heck of a hairdo and I only wear make up once or twice a month. I couldn't care less what other people think of my looks and my style, I wear what I like to wear, I dress in the shirts and jeans I like. If a guy can't accept me for my style, or for my game style, then he can go to hell. Prude.

To you.
AND pretty much anyone. You don't see men flocking to girls with stringy hair and loose-fitting howl-at-the-moon t-shirts.

Or something like that.
I know, right? It's a Catch 22 or something. I want a girlfriend...but I don't want to do anything with that girlfriend except for what I do for most of every day by myself; and that's playing WoW.

Whats wrong with that ? Girls can't cuss people or games out ? Whats wrong with baggy clothing ? I don't get what you mean man... I really don't.

You sound kind of upset because you aren't one guy's "type," even though he didn't mention you specifically...

I play a lot, but I've never met a girl that played anything past Mario on the SNES or something on the Wii. I tried getting my boyfriend's friend's girlfriend to play some Halo with us (we were all drinking beer and LAN'ing it up, she just kind of sat there), and she basically played for a game, cried that she sucked, and quit. I'm kind of the odd goose in my social circle, so I don't know :\
seriously when going out with girls dont talk about videogames.... What a turnoff.. talk about movies or clothing and stuff... alcohol and perfume and celebrities
