WHY DO GIRLS PLAY VlDEO GAMES NOW?

Before you get ur panties in a bunch I AM NOT SEXIST! The reason im asking this is because i used to play the original xbox and i used to play it live. There were like NO girls what so ever and early then it seemed that girls never cared for silly video games its like they knew better then to do deal with that stupid stuff,and were cool like that, but now its like there's like a decent number of girls on video games now a days. WHY DO GIRLS PLAY VlDEO GAMES NOW?
Kay i'm going to resolve this question

For one now a days girls are playing more video games because there are more and more video games being made for girls or sometimes just for girls



but..According to these neanderthals, games like MGS4 and GTAIV are designed for men, just like sports games are, driving simulators are, and most other titles are. And if titles are not made for men, they're made for children. All the while, women are left out in the cold.

With that in mind, how is it possible that women represent just 12 percent of the video game industry? Ostensibly, it's not for lack of interest--the numbers speak for themselves--so it must be something else. Unfortunately, it seems those same stereotypes may be to blame



women want the same things that men want in games. They want them to be challenging and fun and not insulting to their intelligence.



i hope that solves it
I played Halo 2 all the time on Xbox live, so I don't know what you're talking about. I've always been into video games.WHY DO GIRLS PLAY VlDEO GAMES NOW?
Not sure really. I've been a gamer since I was 3 with all the original game systems and own practically all game systems. I haven' noticed this trend, but maybe because of the kid "fun" games that are on market appeal to women now.



It's easy for anyone to play now.
my ex-girlfriend played super mario with me when we were like 15, so they've been around since we've been around. WHY DO GIRLS PLAY VlDEO GAMES NOW?
Cause girls that play video games are even more attractive and sexy.
Supposedly women have had a new knack for getting into things that men like. It is just a phase.
I've played video games all of my life. I'm sure I'm not the only female who has done so; it's just that with the popularity of Xbox Live casual consoles like the Wii, more girls are playing which I think is really cool. There were girls on the original Xbox and Live. I was one of them. You may not have run into us on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean we didn't exist. Video games have been marketed to guys for so long that female gamers have become a stigma, but as I've said with the introduction of the Wii, more girls are giving video games a try which is a great thing.
Some very good proffessional gaming girls, and some are very VERY hot. Can't really think of any in the Halo circuit, but im sure theres one or two. Halo is pretty testosterone ridden as a pro-game, with man-crushes walshy and T-squared leading the way. But yuh like everyone has said, all my best girl firends are gamer chicks, and like some guys i find a girl that can beat the Shadow Temple on Ocarina of time very very appealing..... ^_^
I've played video games since Pong.



Back in the day the social role people were expected to adhere to was that computers = masculine, and that included video games. Which was stupid, but it took a while for girls to figure out it wasn't just for guys.



It is sexist - not on your part, but on the part of everyone who thought that way. I think it was the same people that made Barbie's accessories all pink (ugh!)



If you think that doesn't seem to be a good reason, you're right. But think about how most guys will not be caught dead wearing pink because it's considered feminine.
You say like its a problem. I'd love a girl that could put up a fight in a video game.
Cause they finally found out how awesome it is. I use to have a girl that loved playing video games. I taught her to love Halo.
