Estoc Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 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. From the empty days of hope, deny the darknessFollow my voice, we'll run far away from hereIf only to hide, to escape this lifeAnd live forever, forever in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utopia Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have a few female friends, and it seems quite normal that they are playing. I've honestly never thought anything of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTanT Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 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: ) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18062886/ns/health-forbescom/ 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. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate.

The_Star_King Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 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.

gspbeetle Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 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.

Blyaunte Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence? 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....... 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...

Freakyhair Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 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..

blakdragon39 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
