I think I know why you're having such a hard time finding "girl gamers"...because you have weirdly strict qualifiers. Why does she need to be good? I know several girls who play console/pc games regularly.

Even if the average is lower than in my personal experience, I bet between 10-15% of "gamers" are girls.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's that difficult either, it may just be the types of games he plays, or that his circles of friends just aren't that indicative of the wider audience.  My GM in WoW (Arwan), is a female, who's been GM for years, of a guild of over 600 characters (over 100 unique accounts, not sure the true split though).  There are quite a few women in the guild, and we all get along quite well.  We also make the Vent server pretty open though, so, yeah, I don't know, can't really say I share his experience.

I don't know, my sister is the biggest GTA fan I know, I have a close friend who plays a ton of WOW, and I have several other friends/co workers who play console/PC games...it's just not that alien to me.
