Gamer girls...

But it's also how many times the parents jump in to help. the "good" games are challenging. and when my sister played my games, (let's just say crash bandicoot, challenging but still for kids) she died, and died, and died. not by fighting enemies, but by jumping too far or something like that. after she tried 3 times, she got angry and my dad rushed to help her. what was the result? every time she had to jump, my dad came to help her. and when he didnt help her anymore the game was too hard and she quit.

Conclusion: Games are very hard, but they need to be learned by trial and error. and my parents, as many others, didn't let my sister learn

I'm a 35 year old woman, and I've played several MUDs (used to be a builder on one for a couple of years there), the AD&D gold box games, a few Wizardry games, a few Might and Magic games, Diablo, and Diablo II (SP only), Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Kingdom of Loathing, Maple Story (until the hackers took over), Fallout and Fallout 2, Divine Divinity, Sacred, Titan Quest, and several rogue-like games. I also have a Nintendo DS on which I play Puzzle Quest, Etrian Odyssey, and Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja.

As far as character classes go, I tend to prefer to play the thief/assassin types and ranged attackers, though I've played the occasional Spearazon, Seal Clubber, and Samurai.

I also like The Sims and The Sims 2. And I play a mean game of Tetris.

Higher than I expected. If that's true then it's very cool indeed.

All I want is someone that I can understand on a very basic level... gaming, IT, and certain forms of music are my interests, and since:

1) the IT girl is practically non-existant (practically because the few that are there are either taken or don't want to get involved with anyone), and
2) it seems like every girl (even the more sophisticated types) seem to be mostly into pop "music" (something I personally can't stand)...

I guess I am forced to find a gamer girl to finally be able to share a meaningful relationship with. The problem is that most gamer girls don't show the signs that male gamers show, such as talking about games alot, twitching thumbs, or finding the closest electronic device in range all the time, which leads to making it very difficult to spot one at first glance...

The only games I've ever liked are Myst and Black and White. It's funny, most guys play more games then Churchill made witty comments.

I occasionally play WOW. Incidentally, you can blame my ex for that. I've never really been into games. It's taken me nearly a year, but I've gotten my main (an Orc Rogue) up to a level 52. Bronzebeard Server. It's a nice way to chat with others and remain busy playing a game when I have nothing better to do, but I prefer hanging out in the real world much more.

Let's see... of my own age range (since one would assume I would be looking for people in my own age range), I have been in contact with about 20 women over the past year, most of it concentrated in two timeslots: the week of this post and another week last august...

My point isn't about how many I know offline, though, as I *see* women around all the time, but unlike other stereotypes such as athlete, preppy, grunge, etc., gamer girls don't manifest themselves in any outward way... meaning I can't identify them in public...

I thought every girl knew everything about every other girl...

In all seriousness, however, I can see your point in where gamer girls walk that fine line between girl and gamer... but is there any kind of sign, even those subtle things that we aspies are so (not) able to readf, that would let men like me know that said woman is a gamer?
