Do geek girls ever look after their appearance?

[Bruce the Robert]

Well its another lonely saturday night with just my virtual gf on DOA: volleyball and no date ..... Again.


*sigh*

But I got thinking. Gantily was recently teasing me with thoughts of being the perfect woman. A master of obscure comic book trivia. An owner of a PS, a Nintendo Wii AND a xbox 360.


My instant proposal of marriage - sightt unseen - was sadly rejected.


But after contemplating my rash marriage proposal it got me thinking. If the 0.00001% girls who play computer games no one, not one, takes any sort of pride in their appearance.

What an odd question.

I don't think the two qualities are mutually exclusive. So-called geek girls are no worse or better than a normal girl

[googly_bear]

I don't think a love of games and a love of good dress sense are mutually exclusive.

Girls often and do like both.

I just think you need to get out a lot more bruce!


Here's a hint

less gaming and more socialising on saturday nights will help you find your "real" non digital girlfriend

I've got a friend and she used to be a huge hit at the old fashioned lan parties.

She was an ok gamer. I personally suspect she only went along because the ratio of girls to guys was like 300:1.


The one time I went along to check out the talent I noticed a lot of the girls were also made up quite nicely.

Maybe they were there because of the unbeatable odds rather than gaming purposes

Keep looking bruce-dudester!


The hot gamer chicks are out there.

Check out the website of Stevie "killcreek" case. A woman who was famous for supposedly defeating Romero in quake.


You gotta check out her website here.

I thinks its mutualyl exclusive.

I say nay

[gantily]

Why Bruce.

Of course I look after my appearance.

Of course I'm ultra hot. The stuff a gamer's digital dreams are made of.

And the answer to your marriage proposal is still no

[aaron]

Well my cover of "Stuff" always has an ultra hot model with the latest techno gizmo on the front.


Surely all gamer girls look like that

[misspiggy]

All girls like looking good!

Its not like liking comic books is mutually exclusive with looking good

[jomol31]

I agree with the majority of posters here.

There is no correlation between a girl's love of games and the attention they pay to their appearance.


I've recently got addicted to Wii Tennis and Wii Bowling but I still wake up 2 horus before work every morning so I can put on my office warpaint (mascara, lipstick et al). And tahts despite being up to 3am playing Nintendo!

[anchorman]

Can't say I've ever noticed a correlation myself

What about girls who like playing the occassional game?

Do we have to be 30 hours a week gamers or just the occassional "help out the boyfriend on a hard level of Halo legendary hardness kinda girl?"

[sam@netball]

Why is it girls have to be categorised.

its perfectly ok and acceptable for a man to be considered all of:

Sporting Hero
*** Symbol
Smart
Star Wars fan


but a girl can only ever be considered one of the above to the exclusion of the others.


Have Paris Hilton and ilk just done us a lot of harm?


And for the record I know plenty of girls who like comics/star wars and computer games and still like looking good!
