Always the rager in the bunch... What I said is fact... Its about business... about money... more girls get hired for their looks than their skill. I never said that girl gamers don't have skills, there are plenty out there that are very skilled. Nice way of twisting what I said though. Your links are a joke, they are blogs, facebook, and opinion columns. If your gonna throw links at someone make sure they are reputable.
I will make it big for you so you understand.
"MOST" GIRLS GET HIRED FOR THEIR LOOKS NOT THEIR SKILLS BECAUSE GOOD LOOKING GIRLS SELL MORE VIDEO GAMES WHICH MAKE THE SPONSORS MORE MONEY AS THE GAMING DEMOGRAPHIC IS STILL LARGELY MALE
BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF GAMER GIRLS WHO GET HIRED FOR THEIR SKILLS BUT MANY MORE FOR THEIR LOOKS.
Don't get that confused with ratio of male to female gamers which is closely becoming more even. I am talking about amount spent ratio between male and females which is still greatly in favor of males spending more money.
Its the same principle of why good looking guys are beside the female models in clothing ads. A girl sees that and thinks either consciously or subconsciously that by wearing those clothes and looking like that it will attract good looking guys. Now I know you'l probably say something like I am so not like that. Good for you, congrats but if it wasn't the majority of girls then they wouldnt spend millions of dollars on it. Same with gamers.
edit - oh by the way I never said I was better than girls, nor a girl or you beating me prove either of our points right or wrong. It only proves you can beat me or can't in x game... I know a lot of girls who can beat me at a lot of different games. Never said girls were inferior and i dont believe that to be so for the record.
