I know what u mean on ere but most games i just say hi and instantly everybody tries to pronounce my name like an ice braker of sorts its prononced ( Paul-us Mag-in-tee)

but i played my 2nd ever game on MLG on halo 3 and had some idiot telling me to throw away halo and never play the game again i mean whats the point im new to the playlist obviously im gonna be rubbish and my 3rd game i met a gr8 guy on MLG and we played a few matches together.

And its worse when you try to bring a friend into the game that they have never played before then you get the lil annoying brat saying he wants to f**k your mum that instantly makes your friend hate the game its really pointless but not many girls i know get singled out not often i do either you know who your friends are when you can sng pokemon theme tunes down the mic and they laugh with you not at you

Sorry, but I’m not jumping on the “you’re right” bandwagon here because I feel you’re opinion is wrong in my case. As soon as someone realizes I sound “gay,” or like a “little kid” and that I must be a “gurl” or “a woman” because of an “aw man” that might have slipped past my mouth during a game, then the five year old, sexist blood hounds I seem to always get paired with dogpile me. I don’t start my sessions with this mind set, I play for fun and only for fun, but they usually end up the same way… with some child wanting to defile me in some adult-like manner that would make his mother blush and father want to rip the cords out of his son’s xbox. Truth is, most parents are unaware of their children’s actions and need to parent them more. It would be easier if everyone would be a little more cautious and hide their friend’s lists. This is why I have had to limit the amount people on my friend’s list. Many people stalk friends’ lists for women. My avatar is that of a bald man and still I get pestered. I pay the same amount of money to play as everyone else, but I didn’t pay to get sexually harassed. I’m not ignorant, I’ll be harassed for complaining. Somehow I’m “used to it”- slightly numb somehow. So bring it if you’re bored. Go ahead I won’t read your responses anyhow. Post, if it makes you feel better or more signifigant.

[...] I noticed that there are more bungholes in Xbox Live than in PS3. Which leads me to think that this article from HawtyMcBloggy.com is for a fact…TRUE. From the moment I entered the room with my level 1 icon alongside my [...]

Refreshing thoughts. I like your philosophy. I surround myself with players (females and males alike) that think the same way you do.

I am a hardcore gamer who usually spends more than 20 hours per week on xbox 360. And no, I’ve never picked on or treated any female player any differently than male gamers. I respect my fellow gamers no matter what their sex is. It really is sad that not alot of male gamers feel this way. My only message is that not every male gamer is bad. There are some good ones as well who are co-operative and treat gamers nicely. And if a lady is offended by any male gamer’s comment, my advice is that you ignore him and keep playing. Don’t loose your hobby because someone was ignorant to you. Because by the end of the day, its your life, your hobby and your game. PEACE.

I am a women who plays Xbox Live and, yes, I do get picked on but not any more than anyone else. In fact, most of the decent guys on Xbox Live are impressed that a woman is #1 playing and #2 doesn’t suck. The question I get most when I do have to speak is “Are you a girl, or a 12 year old boy?”. I can live with that. As for the occasional sexist comment? That happens no matter where you are or what you are doing. Xbox Live is no different than the real world.

I’ve played alot og games with women playing, and to me its really annoying when guys always have to single out the girl, and then “try to be smooth.” And then some are just plain rude and stupid. But as always I’ll give props to the women that will pwn the idiots.
