33 Comments

At school I'm the only female in my programming class and I'm at the top of my math class and ahead of everyone in programming class. I also really like video games, basically every game: COD, monster hunter, mario, LOZ, skyrim, diablo, WOW, pokemon, everything. I've also beaten like 10 guys at COD and they got really mad :X is it normal for a girl to have these interests? I don't care about the stuff the other girls like so I haven't made any girl friends but also guys have said I'm weird and ignore me so I have no one to hang out with, it's kinda lonely :(

    Virtual high five for you! I used to be a big gamer-chic, but I stay so busy anymore that I hardly have time to play.

    And I didn't get to take the programming classes in school because they always redirected me to some other class I didn't ask for as an extra credit.

    Take solace in the fact that your school is better than mine, take advantage of your epic skillz! ^_^

      You're such a mean person Allistalla, why can't you ever say anything to help people instead of some sort of derogatory remark. You upset people on here so much sometimes.

      Ps. You can't read or write very well at all.

        I don't think she meant that comment as an insult - as unlikely a candidate I am to step forward and defend the force of nature that is Allistalla.

        A lot of people identify themselves as Tech nerds, proudly, so I doubt it was intended to cause hurt to the OP, especially since she continued on to predict wealth and love for her, and called her a "smart female".

        Don't be so sensitive :)

            Oh OK. Well her comment was thumbed down and Captain Kegstand seemed to be displaying the same oversensitivity so it wasn't obvious. I don't really follow your comments enough to know that you're 'normally the mean one'.

            Make your jokes funnier :)

    I've never understood why programming is so associated with males. I also don't understand why men wouldn't want to hang out with girl gamers. There was a post on here only a few days ago where I said the most fun I've had was in a group with just me and four girls.

      I think sometimes it's the fact that a girl merely being interested in playing video games doesn't make up for some personality flaws they may have, just as a guy being interested in playing video games doesn't.

      Also some guys equate gaming prowess with their value as a man and thus see the potential of losing to a girl the equivalent of being emasculated.

      I used to play video games with one of my ex girlfriends, but she'd get so angry and worked up when she lost it stopped being fun.

        Yeah, and you didn't even see what we got up to! One of us won the Sword of Kadwallah and then we all danced with some elves and stuff. Sexy times! ;)

            Blah! Where's the fun in that? You don't even get a sword. Well, maybe you do, but I'm not into that kinky stuff. :/

    I would love to be with a girl who likes programming and math. At least I'd know what to talk about since I'm not into shoes or music.

    Of course it's normal. Why reinforce the stereotype that women can't like video games, programming and math?

    Sometimes I think girls post things like this because what they really want is a load of guys who think girls who play video games are the pinnacle of hotness to comment on how cool and sexy the girl must be and how lots of guys would love to get in on that. Luckily I'm not one of those guys.

    Anyway, you are in a minority because culturally and I'd suggest biologically women are less likely to gravitate towards academia involving pure logic. But if you're not being accepted socially by guys either, I expect that is less to do with your interests and more to do with your social interaction. There could be a variety of reasons.

    The best perspective to hold on to is that you're not so weird and wayward to be unappealing to everyone - there will be plenty of people out there who'd like to be friends with you. Perhaps the problem is the social circles you move within don't have those people, even if they are focused on programming, math and video games. Perhaps you need to look outside your circle (maybe outside of school even) to find new people a little more receptive towards you :)

    Yeah, it's normal.
    I have about half the interests that you have, I'm a fucking nerd and if I ever get a hold of comic-con tickets, I might die.

    I most certainly am a girl gamer. Over the years though I haven't played as much as I use to but I still most certainly enjoy them. I mostly like nintendo but I also enjoy playing games like Little Big Planet, Worms and Uncharted 3 multi-player with my brothers on their PS3s.

    I've also beaten my brothers at a lot of games in the past and they play a lot more than me anymore.
