Nope.

I visited Anja just an hour ago and we sat in front of her Laptop. I mentioned that there was once this thread on the board and that it would be fun if she would post here. She readily agreed but we didn't want to go through all the hassle of creating a new login for her so she used my account. Search for "Kayleigh" on PBW.

You'll find more of them in RTS or RPGs, my theory is that those genres are easier to socialize in as they unanimously feature real time communication as compared to SEIV's slow pace of communication (with it's very slow in game communication system).

its hard to generalize.. a friend of mine is big into RTS's and RPG's, but she hates people who stand around and socialize instead of playing.. go figure. I couldn't get her interested in se4, though.

good god, how many categories are there now? Male, Female, Other, Left of Center, Not telling, Dressing to the Right Today, I like Furries, Too Confused to Tell, and Give Me Another Drink Please. I remember the good old days when "what gender are you" was a easy choice, instead of an essay question that is judged on the OSRT scale. sh*t. I live in the Tenderloin, or the transvestite district of San Francisco, and things are not this complicated. (and no, im not a tranny. thanks for asking.)

I saw their name... and of course it was a joke (a bad one!).

I'm male, no hesitance here, 100 % testosterone. 97% (60)
I'm female but never plays PBW. 0% (0)
I'm female and plays/has played PBW. 2% (1)
I'm neither or I don't want to tell my gender (Assume I'm male). 2% (1)

I have a suspicion that there are way more men in the world than there are women. People say that there are roughly equal numbers, but it certainly does not seem that way. When I was in school, there were only about 3 girls out of about 200 students in my department. At work, most of the people in the company are guys. And in the SEIV community, it's mostly guys. I go to the gym and it's mostly guys there. Everywhere I go, it's mostly guys! In my estimation, the ratio of males to females in the world is not 1 to 1 but somewhere in between 10 to 1 and 100 to 1.

God, i hope i never end up living where you are

At my college there were way more girls than guys. However, in my department (computer science) there were very few girls. And only one hotty. And i'm living with her now

I think you may be right!!! Ever seen how many women work in Land Surveying? Must be some kind of government coverup.

My wife is from Roswell, and I understand her.

Nah, girls don't care about strategy games in general. They kind of have their feet on the ground, if you know what I mean. I've tried a zillion times to get my wife to play, and the only ones I got her interested was in Caesar 3 and Simcity 3000. Who knows, maybe girls are not capable of abstract thinking...

My girlfriend often gets really hooked on soap operas. For a while now I've been toying with the idea of getting "The Sims" to try to draw her into gaming...
