What I find funny is that as soon as the lobby realizes there is a girl in it they start acting all tough and what not. Lol. Like they are gonna get a date or something. At least it's free entertainment for me. To each their own though.

Okay, so I'm  a girl gamer.. but I really dont like it when girls make it completely obvious that they're girls (like in their gamertags or clan tags, etc). I mean, its cool and all that you play videogames, but when you make it that apparent that you're a girl its like you're just asking for attention.

--What do you guys think?

Think the word hypocrite makes sense in this post.

You didnt have to mention you were a girl to get this discussion started.

Just like you mentioned you were a girl in your introduction post.

Are you making it THAT apparent for attention ? or what ?

I can't even tell if these little kids on the game are guys or girls. My GF got and Xbox and she made her gamertag her name, my gamertag is just my name too. a lot of girls like to flirt and talk loud on Xbox, it's annoying because they are probably ugly anyway. Not all, but the ones that make it so obvious.

I feel bad for online girl gamers tbh. They are a tiny minority and if they ever reveal themselves in a lobby/match they are generally brutally verbally sexually harassed just because of their gender. I always try to be nice and casual when talking to girl gamers, and not a total douche or creep.

I would like to see more female gamers. If you make your gamer tag sound "girly", who cares what other people think. I recently got my GF to play COD and join my clan, she's been at the top 3 of a leader board a few times, her gamertag isn't girly. Although sometimes I wish it was, she doesn't use a mic and I would love to hear these people rage when she's getting the last kill. lol

What do I think?  I think I'm female, and I'll choose whatever name (within TOS of course) I want to because I can. 

Seriously though...when I first started out playing COD, I was online with my husband.  I took the "Mrs." form of his name and it eventually got shortened to Mrs. G.  I recently changed it for the clan, but I can assure you that I could care less if others know I'm female or not.  As soon as they hear my voice they are going to know I'm female anyway.  So what difference does it make if they know a few seconds before I speak?  Some are going to harrass you regardless of whether your name proclaims you as female, just because you sound like one.  So I pick the name I want and to hell with what others think about it or what I'm 'trying' to do. *shrugs*  JMO of course.
