thebitterguyYou know, as a man, and a married man at that, I find myself constantly stymied by the woman. Thankfully, the internet exists to explain how men and women can get togethr. Such as this Blog post explaining what women want in comics. It seems rather rational and all. Of course, this post about the difference between female and male gamers reads like "goofy anecdotes I have told", but anyone who refers to women as less aggressive than men has different anecdotal experiences than I do!
Not to mention, it sounds a bit like something written by a high schooler, because he constantly refers to 'girls' and 'boys'. As well, he thinks men will be on time and women will be late. He has never met me or![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kinra.
Anyway, yeah, the bit about never yelling at girls even in character indicates he plays with some serious delicate flowers of womenhood (sorry, girlhood).

Date: 2006-12-21 02:22 am (UTC)I don't understand women at all. I play with, hang out with and am entirely, 100% surrounded by, all the time, men. But then I get offended by all the crap which is obviously only aimed at them (see: female toons in WoW) so I can't just say "Char's a boy" and leave it at that.
I can't really disagree with anything he said, but then, I would never in a thouand years play ina "girl-only" game, so who knows.
