I for one welcome our female geek overlords
(especially if they look like the girl in the photo)
Girls are too busy sending meaningless 'Zombie bites' and 'hug's on Facebook.
Seriously, I hope more women do get into gaming, the more the merrier
I've seen it first hand. My sister now owns her own Xbox 360 and regularly kicks my ass when playing Guitar Hero online.
Then there's my girlfriend who kicks my ass on the DS Lite.
As Yoda himself once said, dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is. :surrender:
Does this mean hexus is going to get a dating section :mrgreen:
Gotta find girls stupid enough to go in it though... I mean... you lot?!
:D
Right, well, I'll have to invest some more of my time gaming... can't have the americans taking over can we?!
Too Late :( *must go to gym*Quote:
Men are commonly referred to as the TV-watching, game-playing, web-surfing, couch-potato slobs. Watch out ladies, that'll be your title next!
I don't think a woman is capable of being a "geek".
Technologically aware definately, enjoying computer games is also a definate yes, but to be a proper geek and care about things like how the Klingon's apperance changed over the TV series, or how many FPS they get out of their rig whilst not giving a damn about their apperance or figure...
I don't think that'll ever happen en masse!
Lucio, I don't care about those things but am still definitely a gook.
Although you have touched on something now. It is becoming cool to be a geek now, and everyone that shows an interest in tech is being labled as such (often labeling themselfs).
I've been searching for a missus who will sit down and play games with me! At last the dream may be approaching fruition! Good news I think :)
I think women are capable of being just as geeky as us fellas. A friend of mine is a complete geek/nerd about shoes, handbags and various rubbish tv shows and she has the nerve to call me a geek!
[Goes back to nit-picking X-Files episodes.]
My sisters a Petrol head geek does that count?
Someone wanna send me a woman that I can wax lyrical about fsb's, hypertransport, shaders and tweaking the hell out of PC's then?
I try to stem my geekiness somewhat when out as some folks might have seen but in the end my love for hardware comes through ;)
It all depends on how they obtained the data, ofcourse. If the sample was taken through a medium that favoured already tech-savvy women (for example, tech websites, tech jobs, volunteers) the results might be quite skewed.
It wouldn't surprise me though... Some women have a cell phone for each hand bag, and they know how to operate it better than most men. Online chatting, blogging, anything related to communications... Digital cameras, mp3 players... All "lifestyle" products where the interest isn't the technical side in and of itself. As long as it's something they can use for their own purposes in their own strange "female" world. :telephone:
Hardcore technical interest... not so much. :help:
duodecim, the group states:
"The special analysis is based on trending interviews with 1,508 online U.S. women between October 06 and November 07, complemented by 517 additional interviews in February 08. The sample for the study represents the regional, age and ethnic make-up of the U.S. women’s online population on a proportionate to population basis."
Not exactly the most informative description, but there it is.
When I see ladies talking about gaming when walking down the street, then I'll believe it.
