And before some smartass goes like: “are you living in the 90s? Girls play videogames dude, I’m a girl gamer! I even play Fortnite and CoD with my roommates.”

Videogames in terms of the crowds that attracts is male dominated, especially as adults. Some girls replying that they play doesn’t change that fact. I’ve never met a single girl into games… except one. My English teacher, she was younger than me, I think barely an adult (night school for adults). But I quit that place without finishing the studies and never connected with teachers, plus we’re from different countries, there’s no common ground, aside that I’ve never an adult woman into them. Do they think they’re silly and childish?

    Its a video game

    it’s in really poor taste to edit your comment above to reply to my comment in response, it messes up the logic of the thread.

    Gate keeping which computer games you consider to be games… well, thats a you problem.

    Oh you play chess! Your not a gamer

    Oh you only play Clash of Clans! Your not a gamer

    Oh you play Euro Truck Simulator! Your not a gamer

    This devolves your original question into - Why arn’t I meeting more women playing the same games as me? That is a different question, maybe different interests, or the women you are playing with choose not to speak in game, etc

      Dude, my mother’s partner plays candy crush. He would never say he plays video games. Those apps are literally traps for people that don’t like videogames.

        Define a video game please

        Playing a game and basing your identity on the fact you play games are two different things
