Females playing RS?

[Estoc]

A good amount of people on my friend list have female characters. Never really bothered to ask any of them if they're same gender as their character, because really, I'm playing Runescape, not some crappy dating game.

Man, where have I been tbh

[Mercifull]

Interestingly i've spent the last 2 weeks as a female character and noone has mentioned anything to me...

[Utopia]

I have a few female friends, and it seems quite normal that they are playing. I've honestly never thought anything of it.

Why is it that you don't find girls huddling around asking why more guys don't wear makeup? But guys ask why more girls don't play games? Y'know?

 

One activity still has strict division in most western culture and one does not. It makes no sense to compare the two.

 

Disagree. Males wearing makeup has become much more prevalent in western society.

 

(Not that I would choose to :rolleyes: )

52% is still a far cry from acceptable, but I see your point. The comparison isn't as poor as I originally thought.

 

Actually, I've had many girls try to force me tow ear makeup and/or ask me why I was so reluctant to wear it. And by "many" I mean at least six in the course of two years.

Why is it that you don't find girls huddling around asking why more guys don't wear makeup? But guys ask why more girls don't play games? Y'know? As much as I'm all for girls playing games, the average girl might not want to put up with the pathetic advances, idiotic comments and general sexism that you get when you're a girl playing a game like Runescape.

A lot of the [developmentally delayed]s playing video games lack the social skills or don't have the balls to talk to girls irl

Hi Fornix, how's that anonymity going?

[The_Star_King]

My sister used to play RS, so there are definitely girls out there that play this game. According to her, people were rather immature about her gender on F2P (surprise, surprise), but she didn't get much attention for it on P2P.

hi nonamer, who are you?

[gspbeetle]

The stereotype comes in large part to:

 

- Many boys online not used to interaction with females, and are unable to fathom such an occurrence.

- The "special" guys who like to pretend to be girls, which in the end makes everyone skeptical, and proves you can't trust anyone (especially online)

 

Actually, a number of the girls I know who play Runescape choose male characters just to avoid the odd attention they would otherwise receive. Sadly, it makes sense to do so.

 

Many Man Online Role Playing Girls, courtship is coded in our DNA and I personally know some aggressive females behaving the opposite as well.

I dont really know much about men and maybe this is abit offensive, but frankly if I see a guy proudly showing off his male character, my first reaction would be wondering is he a queer.

 

There are quite alot of females hardcores in gaming and some of them are housewifes. But for some reason many young men dont really like them much, unless they think flirting with something like "go back to your kitchen" is effective.

But seriously, the game you play is filled with, more than likely mostly males, and half of them are hornier than full dragon kit (sp), and the other half are just immature.

 

I lol'd. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

To the OP:

 

As a female playing Runescape -- and in particular one who is older and has children -- I can tell you that there are a lot of women playing. You'd be surprised at number of "moms" who play the game. Most of them are like me, they got into playing because their children played. Now our children no longer play, and us moms are all hooked on it.

 

:lol:

Such a good role model. :shame:

Meh - I have a job, three kids, a husband, a car and a mortgage. I think I've earned some time to myself to have a little fun each night. :P

[swordb88]

the 3 things women dont do

 

go online

 

go to the bathroom alone

 

fart

[SirIzenhime]

go to the bathroom alone

 

 

this is partially true...

I saw two teenage girls walk out of the public restroom together where I work.

 

 

 

 

there's only one toilet in our restrooms.......

[Racheya]

What girls do in the bathroom is a closely guarded secret ;)

That's not what the husband is for?

 

Also, the moms play RS and the kids quit playing. Coincidence?

Lol. Sadly, that doesn't surprise me. Er, a lot. A lot of women seem to treat the bathroom as some strange form of social interaction. I think. I'm far from an expert on women...

 

Maybe more women would go on the internet if they had internet in bathrooms O.O

Shh! You've already said too much! :unsure:

EDIT: I don't know if it's just me, but the 360p seems to freeze half way through. Turn it up to 480p and it should work fine.

There's no such thing as a secret when you're on the internet.

 

*looks up subject on google*

:blink: :blink:

[Slayer_Jesse]

just messing with you, but yeeeaaaah....

 

 

It does create some amusing situations... Just earlier today, someone said, "So Forsaken, I heard you like men," like that's supposed to be an insult. My response: "Yea, I'm a girl. So?" Troll: "Oh." :thumbup:

 

So. Much. Win. :thumbup:

[Freakyhair]

Plenty of girls play rs.

 

not sure what this topic is about though, is it about girls dealing with sexists? About the reasons female players are rare? Or the general immaturity of most (male) runescapers and how they act towards girls?

 

Really I see little discussion value.

 

1.) Sexism on the internet - herp derp whats new?

 

2.) Inb4 someone gives a sexist reason such as girls have different interests - and female gamers start raging

 

3.) Guys on rs asking for a hot gf or general creeping on female players, what else new? when they arent doing that they are telling fart jokes

 

 

Not against this topic, I havent seen a thread on this topic in a while but its about as cliche and annoying a topic as UMG JAMFLEX BOTS R BACK FIX IT PLOX

 

no your not i already gave a sexistr reason. man sexism annoys me, girls are different to guys. girls that are more like guys have too much testosterone. from my experience in life all the girls ive known that have had similar interests than me have turned out to be lesbians/trannys. no joke :unsure:

 

plus rs is different to standard video games..

[Bladewing]

man sexism annoys me

girls are different to guys

:wall:

[blakdragon39]

I've been playing this game for.. too many years. :P I really can't remember when I started. :blink: Anyways, I've always played as a female character (except for one one-hour stint where I tried being a male character). I've never really had problems with people hitting on me. :P Though I did notice when I was a male character for that hour or so, a lot less talking seemed to happen. :P The only real thing I've noticed about being female, is that I'm the only female whose been around my clan and hasn't left. A few of them left the clan because they didn't like the strict rules the clan keeps. (No swearing on the cc or irc channel's seemed to upset them most..)

 

I'm not sure whether or not I stuck to the point. I kind of just spouted whatever thoughts about being female runescape came into my head. :P
