Not entirely true, as you can see by the number of ladies posting here.
And the more "grlgamerz" show up, the more others will feel comfortable about trying it out.
Online games have traditionally been marketed towards young men, but I think that's slowly changing. And that's a good thing. I was in a guild in Guild Wars and we had a female member. She plays a mean Ranger and she's a very competent Monk. She has an unmistakable feminine voice and when she gets on teamspeak there's usually a sudden chorus of male voices going, "It's a chick!"
Glad to have you around, ladies.

Nah, haven't you heard? Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. We're all really aliens from different worlds.

Not the best way to open up a conversation by saying they are chicks!
Better use:
Heaven must be missing an angel since you are here
or
Do you come here often?
*not really*

*not really* Your message should come with a disclaimer.
Such as:
WARNING
Will not actually increase your chances of getting with a girl. In fact for most intents and purposes, it may actually make you look more like a nerd and lower the chances dramatically. Use at your own disgression.

LMAO...
Check this out:

Sounds like it's about pen and paper games, but I found it highly humorous.
There's also this:
http://www.grrlgamer.com/
Not specifically about online games, but interesting just the same. A game centered web site in fuchsia.

I am in a computer class where 90% of the people here are males, all play wow. One female in class who also plays wow, so that is pretty funny to them as well xD
Unfortunately I can't see the other one due to some block somewhere in the router.

a lot of people in Kodomo are Girls. and we've had a lot of female former members. Of course this only furthers the sterotype that girls love children but it's true ("Kodomo" means Children)

As for me, i prefer female chars in offline games and male chars in online ones. Char more or less reflect players personality so it may be quite confusing when a guy plays female or vice verse
Anyway it happened once when two my guild members (a girl and a guy in real life) were talking in guild chat window about their relationship and other members who were online shouted "omg wtf g@yz! thiz guild is all g@y!". So REAL female players are not actually common to sro community

I love women who game, they're somehow.. more like you. Worst girls are these blonde, stuffed up girls who, when your at the comp, start questioning you like "omgz0r, that's so boring, why do you sit and play that shit, I'll go call my girlfriend".

When I started playing online games (it was Runescape) I answered the question "Are you girl?" (some also write gurl) always with "yes".
Got 2 reactions:
1. A kind of quiz about my privacy started
2. I was called a liar
It is the same in Silkroad, so now my answer about gender and age and so on is "Sorry to personal", than they call me a stupid 13 year old boy and I just go away and smile.
The ones from guild and union who have spoken to me in our teamspeak got a surprise in some cases

How sad is it that we are on a gaming forum, and talking about how to pick up chicks. Don't most people learn this kind of thing in the real world? Does that make us nerds? xD
