Why don't girls stick around?

[Nathan60]

The guild I was in in World of Warcraft was probably 30% women. Of course WoW attracts a different player then first person shooters or Aces High.

I dont know  My Rift/ABP/TSW guild has alot of  females that  are regualy in BF3

I'm all grown up, and do not have the stomach for 90% of our BBS bile.  Why girls don't stick around?  View the posts on this thread.

Because they have to go to the kitchen, to make me a sandwich.

This thread and BB are pretty tame IMO.

The term 'bile' may have a slightly difference inference in this context.

There have been times my Wife looks over my shoulder when I am reading the bulletin board.  One day, she asked a question.

"Hon, are they really grown men?"

Now, after I picked myself off the floor from laughing so hard, I had to give her that puzzled look of utter confusion as I had no idea how to answer her.  She just turned, walked away, shaking her head muttering something about "better you than me".

At another time, she simply stated, "If I want that much drama, I'll turn on one of the "Real Housewives" shows."

She's a hoot!

It was a legitimate question, not a statement.  At the time I was trying to read a David Wales thread.

Well that explains  ALOT lol,  and yes girl gamers  can get alot of harassment, but then again  almost EVERYONE takes alot of harassment  just look at how my 1st comment was taken by some folks, I ment that as a jibe at myself but  seems the only ones that got it are the women that have posted in this thread(and Shuffler )


Fact of the matter is  the online culture sucks(I blame WoW) and its not going to change  for awhile. Harrasment is everywhere look at 200 sometime and it is even worse in alot of other games and that doesnt mean its all one way either.

My wife helps me with my rudder every once in a while when I can't reach it...

Aces High is softball compared to many other games. There was a woman who played COD in our group and the amount of harassment she got was stunning.

This, while it may be in jest in AH, our community is rather mature and tame compared to those of XBox, Blizzard or PSO.

This forum and game are a radiant beacon of enlightened thought and civility compared to most online games.  Sure, there's drama and some BS but the signal to noise ratio here is way above most others.

Thank you for your service, Skuzzy.  I tried to read a David Wales thread once.  I got about 2 pages into it and stopped.  The resultant brain damage meant I had to relearn the basic layout of my home and how to tie my shoes again.

I don't get why people jump on girls in games.  Wish they wouldn't, it's distasteful, but again, this game ain't nothing.

Want entertainment (or, alternatively, a study into bipolar online-personas), cross check how many people in the first few DW threads were asking/anticipating his PNG status and are now here on the Church of DW bandwagon.  Skuzzy nailed it, he stumbled into the padded room with only one door in this thread.
