Female Gamers and their fear of dudes.

So I recently did the raid with a female gamer... And every word out of her mouth had " boyfriend " attached to it. "My boyfriend does the raid every time my boyfriend isn't boyfriending like a true boyfriend! Oh!!! Here's my boyfriend now! Boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend." Why is it that i, a respectful and honestly nice guy (unless I'm doing some competitive snizz) have to be treated like a common "are you boobies big!?!" Weirdo? Help from the women of Destiny? I must understand! D:

  • Never ran Into this but I play with adults exclusively. Maybe you should try to find a more mature group to play with and when looking for randies make sure to say adults only. I have a handful of female gamer friends and their biggest issue has been being mistaken for squeakers lol

  • You, my friend, are using the "Not all men" argument. It basically goes, "not all men are like this! I'm not! Don't treat me the same!" Unfortunately, that's not how it works. For a female gamer, you can imagine male gamers like a bowl of Skittles. Now imagine 70% of those Skittles are poisoned. Would you eat a Skittle? That's why your argument doesn't work. In that analogy, the poisoned Skittles represent the male gamers who are dicks to female gamers, while the remaining 30% are nice. The female gamer has no way of knowing who's a dick and who's not, so the only option is to treat you as the majority until she can tell you're not. It's unfair, but it's necessary.

    • I would have cut in and said "Can you do relic? Because I don't give a f*ck about your damn love life lady. I'm here to finish this raid and go to sleep..."

    • Next time, tell her this: Maybe this will be The First Curse but... I'll be the Ice Breaker. I have a Obsidian Mind and I'm gonna give you the Truth. Bby I'm feeling really Thorny. Because you already gave me a Hard Light. We don't need a Chaperone. We can just go back to my place in Monte Carlo And use Fabians Stratagy, The Ram, or The Stag maneuver While listening to the Ace of Spades. Now with your Grips of No Tomorrow, Grab my Ghallahorn and watch the wolf pack rounds explode. I'm the Lord of Wolfs for a reason;) I don't have a Black Hammer, And I feel the need to mention I don't have Patience and Time, so you'll always see me coming. While I would never say Don't Touch Me, I need to know: Are you like the Templar and have Harpies? Or do you have the Red Death? Cause if not, I'd love to see your Dark Below. Just let your Nexus open, Move your Gatekeeper, And I'll eat your Lucky Rasberry, cause I got the Hunger of Crota. Just warn me before you Necrogasm. Hopefully my Luck In The Chamber works But don't worry about Hereafter, Cause I've have some Super Good Advice. It's not like we have No Back Up Plans, we'll just use Plan C. Maybe next time we can have the Shield Brothers over and they could strike you. If you're into it, The Third Man can watch as you give me the Oracles delight. Needless to say but this may have been our Destiny to meet here. Until next time, you can have The Last Word.

      • Maybe she just really likes her boyfriend and wasn't putting up a defensive front? Does everything have to be a result of social ineptitude?

      • I think it was more that she was affaid to be mistreated by the fireteam. She just wanted to make it aware that her boyfriend was there to back her up if things got ugly. I personally sometimes have to call upon my boyfriend to set things straight so, she may have had a bad encounter before and is just trying to avoid that.

      • I truly and honestly don't like gamer girls. "gamur girlzz cx" If you get carried in Trials by two sweaty virgins who aren't gonna score regardless and you can't hold a plate in the Raid without [excuse], and if you need to somehow assert your feminism in some way shape or form to me and act like you're superior because you're a different gender, then please leave my game. Oh, another thing, if you have to add "Ms" or "Miss" or "Mrs" to your gamertag for whatever reason, see above. Why is it so hard to find normal girls who just want to play the game instead of trying to be a tease 100% of the time? I don't get it. I'm here to play the game, not try and impress a girl I don't know from somewhere I don't know so I can score. I just..-- no. making this post reminded me of a girl I saw on LFG who put in her post "A goddess among guardians" and of course I got salty about that, but this is another story for another day

          Wanna know why? TV: You're not important unless you're sexy, so sex-attize everything. Destiny: Must be girl gamer Only girl gamer groups Sex jokes offending women on Forums Also, in the world of easily manipulated teens: Ur in love = ur an adult & know everything you need to now. + [i]you'll be together [b]forever[/b][/i]

        • Why? About 80% of the male population in the gaming community assumes every girl is single. I can't deal with random teams because there's always at least one that gets overly excited when they hear my voice. They either relentlessly try to hit on you, try to subtly flirt, or , my personal FAVORITE, act like a "white knight" and try to protect/tell me wtf I can/can't or should/shouldn't do. Not ONLY is it uncomfortable, it's irritating as hell when I'm trying to focus on the game. It's made me incredibly mic shy. Though it HAS gotten better, the damage has been done. Now, I'm not against all guys, don't get me wrong there. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But I need to have someone I know with me if I'm gonna be around randoms, to help buffer the situation. The fact that she kept mentioning her boyfriend doesn't mean jack, either. She could have been trying to avoid those uncomfortable situations by making it known. I wasn't there, but it seems asinine to assume she was treating you like a weirdo just because she was talking so much about him. Maybe he's really the only one she's played with, or its the only thing she was comfortable talking about. Females are strange creatures. I doubt she was treating you like a weirdo on purpose, but who knows. Maybe she was trying to be a witch and rub it in your face. tl;dr Guys before you have ruined expectations and made girls really concerned about groups of unknown guys.

            • If you didn't say anything creepy like hey where do you live, or hey what's your real name then I would just say she's just an ignorant bitch lol. But red flags go off when I get too many questions and id rather just play the game. Or when they add me and message me to no end asking me to join their game.

            • Maybe she was just excited about a new bf. It's not as bad as squeaker getting a handy for the first time. Did CE raid awhile back with this kid that would not stfu about popping his cherry. Like so bad we all agreed to kick him. Worst part was we weren't even past the bridge.

              • Idek. I don't do that. I get treated like anyone else, and I treat everyone as they treat me. People hear I'm a girl and move on. As for the boyfriend thing... welp. Girls are more my thing
