Maybe timmy00 doesn't care enough about girl gamers like everybody else!

Maybe he's a deviant among the internet nerd population!

Anyway, it's silly to think there could be girls on the internet, especially in a hardcore board like SW.

Some want attention, but for the most part I've noticed they avoid calling out the fact they are female, to avoid the sexual harrasment that usualy follows

There's girls on this board. You can easily identify someone gender here. Shouldn't matter though.

You're probably trying to make some point here and I'm just missing it. :P

Same reason people argue in system wars. they want attention and the chance to publically grasp at what little pride would come with winning in that state.

They're representing themselves in a male-filled medium. I do the same thing when I'm taking my knitting classes. I make sure every babe in there knows I'm all man. ;)

In the internet especially online games, gender doesn't exist and doesn't matter. You really have no way of knowing whether if it's a woman or man behind that avatar/character/account unless of course the game features a camera showing the players' faces.

Because they're attention seeking individuals with a brain the size of a walnut that think by being a girl they're automatically smarter, more intelligent and more skillful than anyone else and usually have an ego the size of the sun. (This is for the gam0r grrlz not the average girl who plays games.)

I'm not even kidding when I say that, I had one idiotic gam0r grrlz tell me in League of Legends to tank and iniate team fights as a low defence assassin character.

Many girls gamers are not attractive so they get online or on a forum full of guys to try draw attention to themselves becuase of the lack of attention in the real world, possibly do to being obese, ugly or lack of a personality.

This is not the case of all girl gamers.

Thank you for clarifying.

None of the friends I know who are hardcore girl gamers fit any of the so-called "stereotypes" you present here.

There is no such thing as a hardcore gamer girl unless proven otherwise to me. Once you show me a decent woman in tier4 in quakelive clanarena or duel, then contact me.

Wait... multiplayer is the only way to prove "hardcore"? What about a girl that's hardcore into single player experiences?

That's not hardcore at all. You have to be playing quakelive to prove that you are good at fps. Well UT series is also acceptable. Singleplayer is not people, it does not have the competitionz.

He feels the need to flaunt that he's striving to become a pro-gamer in front of everyone's faces despite the fact that the competitive Quake scene is dying out and is dwarfed in comparison to other competitions such as the WCG, MLG etc. etc.

Best to ignore him.
