How many 35 year old women do you know that are hard core gamers? Be honest now. How many 35 year old women, who grew up playing NES as little girls, stand in line at launch to buy a PS4 or Xbox One... just for themselves? Do you know of any? Because I don't. The only 30 somethings I know are all males. By this point (my age) women have all "grown out of it." And if you can grow out of it, you weren't really hard core to begin with imo.

Which leads me to what I was saying. I've only met on girl who was a gamer and she was 19 a couple years ago. But she wasn't the type that would come over and kick your ass in Mortal Kombat. She liked RPGs. Most girls that game, aren't as hard core as we are. Some are, but very few. Hence why there are so very few girls on this board. I suspect if there were more of them, they'd all be in this thread... all of them lol.

I may be wrong about 5%... but it's somewhere near the basement. It could be 10%... 15% maybe, like you said But it's low if I had to guess. I'd like a real poll and study done though so we could see.

Not all of the current girls on this forum are in this thread as is, so the bolded obviously isn't true.

But I bet if you checked the stats of the active users on this forum, less than 10% are women. I would be shocked if it were higher.
