I'm sorry I can't keep my gender anonymous with my name.

This thread reminds me of a time when I was talking to an online friend of mine, a gamer girl, who was talking about a 40-man raid in WoW her guild was doing, and had everyone in the guild on a teamspeak voicechat while they were doing it. There was a ton of chatter, but the leader of the guild was trying to explain strategy, when my friend asked a question about the strategy.

Everyone in the 40 man voice chat went deathly silent. After a few tense moments, someone spoke: "Was that a girl?"

A few moments later, "What's a 'girl'?"

I'm not sure the the latter fellow was either hilariously clever or if I should lose more faith in humanity...

[ToonyMan]

Eh that joke is old.

[Chaoswizkid]

I'd figure that it was but the fact that she lived the joke is what makes it funny.

I'd personally like to see more women playing games. Not to hit on them or anything, but it just gives a more diverse feel to the whole group. I play one browser game where you have like an african guy, a few dutch and italians, a lot of americans, led by a swedish guy. There's (at least) 4 women in the group, and two of them are my character's leaders. It's a sucky browser game, but the group is so fun to hang around and the OOC chats are fun with such a diverse group, so I keep playing anyway.

I think more women playing a game would rather add a nice layer of diversity. It's a shame that although there's so many bored women on computers, there's not more of them on the same games as us.

It doesn't sound like a joke, I'm sure that guy has never heard of girls before.

That is a sad statistic.  We gamers are bad people if the only girls who are willing to play with us will only do so disguised.

You say this as if it's a revelation. I rarely play *anything* online, because the vast majority of online gamers appear to be complete fucktards. I've played some MMO stuff with a small group of RL friends, but that's it. Virtually any guild I've ever tried has been full of people who I'd prefer to inflict bodily harm upon rather than play with.
