Now all you need to include is something about the majority of "social" gamers who use "your mother" jokes against you for no reason. Ha, lol.

Thanks for the advice. Of course the real problem: Girl, or 13 year old boy? Queen of Blades,

I’ve seen how my girlfriend gets treated when she plays Halo and it can be pretty bad. Thanks for the advice.

Of course the real problem: Girl, or 13 year old boy?

I know it seems odd, and even uncomfortable, but it is possible to have a casual conversation with a girl. And if you're dead-silent, it doesn't necessarily mean you're an asshole. I personally have a tendency not to talk because I have nothing to say at the moment, unless it's "nice shot" or "what the hell." So being quiet could just mean you have nothing to say, or maybe you don't speak the same language as your teammates. But, this is just my advice/opinion/whatever. In short, just try to relax, and don't worry. @SpecialNewb

Being social and just having casual conversation can seem like a come on, ignoring her means i'm being an asshole--these assumptions are made because of so many people who ARE those things playing.

I dove into ranked multiplayer with a friend, and it was only 3 matches before I got told I sucked, go away, and do not rejoin. No one left before he said that. But just before I hit the B button, I saw two people drop off the team before I left, including my friend who happened to be #1 that last match. I'm sure the ass thought it was because of me, but I'm pretty sure the people that "didn't suck" wanted nothing to do with him. My friend and I spent the rest of the day on Phantasy Star Universe after that. Sweet irony. Glad to hear it isn’t just me.

I'd like to find a bunch of girls/girl-friendly guys to play with regularly. Whenever possible, I play with my boyfriend or his roommate (they share a console) but I'm mostly on my own in a sea of shouting, sexist morons. This is why I really wish there were clans for Halo 3.
