Umm okay..
I'm sorry, but I call bs on this person being an actual female. My wife laughed when I showed her the thread. For one, and I quote my lovely wife:
"No woman goes out of their way to prove who they are on the internet. Thats the last thing they want. Plus, anyone who opens with a statement like "Help me I'm a girl" is either blonde, or using some poor nerds hope that there might actually be woman that game."
Bottom line, a female gamer, isn't ever going to let you know they are. Whereas a male gamer, trying to get quick help with problems, knows that they aren't going to get it, unless they use something to gain support fast.
I don't mind helping people, male/female, I just don't think sex should be a reason to help someone over another. I posted a problem with No Mercy, the game. I didn't even get one reply. I bet you if I would of said something like "Hi, I'm a female wrestling fan, needing help" as my subject, I bet it would of been filled with answers.
I'm just saying simply. Keep it real. Cyberspace, is about 65% female, BUT, 3% of them are actually gamers. The ones that do game, are usually playing Everquest, or as our poor moderator knows too well, The Sims (Throws up all over himself)
Believe me, my wife hates games with a passion, but she does like designing clothes for the Sims. Its the only game that she's ever wanted to play. Anyway, hope this gives you a perspective from a guy and a gal's view.
