is it me or planetside 1 had a lot of female players? my first friend i made in planetside 1 was a woman, and most of the hate tells i got in game were from women.

what is it about planetside that attracts more female players than other shooters?

I tried that, didn't work. I ended up scaring her. (Swedish army uniform must be really scary....).

I feel more women play Planetside because of the social aspect of the game, you don't just go around killing people in pvp matches like you would on call of duty, battlefield 3, etc. There is a high level of teamwork in FPS and involvement in MMOs so when you add the two you get a stronger more diverse community.

Not true...I used to wear my school uniform every day at school (except non-uniform days of course). And none of the girls at school loved me...

...What?...

i find that when the female players get angry, they can be a lot more hurtful than the men.

It's human nature. Men get even, women unleash furry. But in the end, we're all a bunch of thinly veiled crazies.

female gamers = source of all evil

did u play WoW with a female in your guild?
my first guild split up because of a girl LOL, we had a guild meeting once and after it, all of the guild members knew she had sexytime with the raid leader that was why she got every item first

i can tell you by experience no matter how BAD she is, she will get EVERYTHING shoved up her ass just by the fact that its a girl and everyone is going crazy when they hear a female voice in teamspeak lol..

can be different in planetside or other games, but thats my experience with them in a MMORPG, no im not a sexist nor i want to flame all girl gamers

No your not Sexist at all

just generalizing that female gamers uses their female attributes to get what they wants. Your experience might need further reflection on the fact that your Male raid leaders got "favors" in exchange "loot". Sit back and think how wrong both the women and men were in that situation. The fact of the matter is neither male or female were any better. I personally know many female gamers who love playing games who aren't as you describe I am proud to call myself one of them.
