Why aren't girls ever at the top of competitive games? It's all male dominated or they have a separate league. What's the reason? Guy and girls should be the same skill when it comes to games since there's no physical limitations.

Not as many women with the required autism.

Girls are less talented than men at everything and there aren't many that are in gaming.

>current number of circumnavigations of the sun by our planet since the time some dude guessed that some other dude was born
>still a Cartesian dualist

good bait

LOL!!! Holy shit, looking at my post right below yours is pretty funny to me.

>Why aren't girls ever at the top of competitive ga-

she only came out in second place and her performance is really hit or miss

the brain, eyes, muscles, and nervous system are absolutely physical, therefore there are certainly physical limitations

Women on average have slower reflexes than men.

>girl

no

But even if we want to use correct pronouns here, she used to be a man which means she keeps the faster reflexes and such that she has when she was male.

that shouldn't come into play that much should it? girls are practically nonexistent in all levels of competitive play.

Women are still treating gaming as a tool to get attention from nerds. Not as an actual hobby.

men have better spacial ability, and likely better aim. its due to being hunters, same reason we are better at throwing and instinctively cock our wrists to throw, whereas women do not, and this is observable in any woman not trained to throw correctly and why they play softball and pitch underhand. the spacial ability is also why they are worse drivers, they have a harder time envisioning the space the car is taking up and its relation to objects around it. kinda funny how stereotypes are natural, yet we're supposed to expect exceptions otherwise we are sexist and/or racist

Kayane had won SoulCal tournaments

Female Infiltration is fairly strong since their Asian genes are powered by perversion.

Brain composition is still a physical limitation.

My GF is far more competitive then me when it comes to games, and she actually tries for high scores in our local arcades.

I just enjoy fun games that have little challenge, but I at least try to give her an honest match when I play, even wehn I known i'm not up to snuff

but what about a game like Hearthstone

>womens sports
>womens olympics
>womens video games

They are inherantly physically disadvantaged. It's similar to why boxing and mma have weight classes.

But my boyfriend doesn't even like games. Do you honestly think women would put so much time into something for your attention? As if women would esteem a faggot like you that highly? Don't make me laugh.

LoL isnt a "Game" user

>Do you honestly think women would put so much time into something for your attention
Yes. Attention for you whores is food and drink.

In FPS reactions are a huge chunk of the meta.
Fighting games not so much since their are 50 year old Japs playing ST still and some oldfag Americans in their 40s have beaten Daigo in SF2.

Males have faster reflexes and tend to be better at special reckoning than females on average. Video games, especially competitive ones, tend to require fast reflexes and excellent spacial reckoning.

It's also the reason why Asians are so fucking good at fighting games, they have the highest average in both of these factors.

yea it is even if you personally don't like it there is a level of decision making and personal skill that goes into it

as much as i support LGBT rights because they dont affect me in any way, one area i hope they dont tread into is letting mtf trans compete in womens sports, theyd absolutely wreck everyone. i wonder if they have a problem with that not being allowed currently (afaik)

Very funny, she's actually not an MOBA player, shes a huge Sega fangirl, so our usual competitions are in Daytona and Outrun, with MVC2, and Skullgirls on the side along with various steam games Like screencheat, and the usual Dremacast/Gamecube multiplayer stuff like Nightfire and Air ride

She also kicks my ass at Cave shooters

Well, Scarlett was one of the best non-korean SC2 players. Girls CAN compete.

theyre probably less tactical as well, since hunting as a pack as we did requires tactics. idk what women are good at

>one area i hope they dont tread into is letting mtf trans compete in womens sports

There's already been multiple cases in which trannies have beat the shit out of women in various combat sports.

>girl
And she never won anything.

Everyone likes attention, we're social creatures after all. But no one's sitting in front of their Playstation or PC hoping user notices them.

I'm actually surprised by the distinct lack of white knighting in this thread.
Sup Forums are you okay?

...

>Do you honestly think women would put so much time into something for your attention?

Yes? Is that even a debate? There are actual gamer girls sure, but there are alot who use it as a tool. I see plenty of woman play games but they love to use it as a social platform either to chat or just converse. MMOs especially but even in shooters with dedicated community servers there tends to be a girl who plays just to talk. There's rarely the one who plays to get better, so much so that she's competitive worthy.

Also calm down.

Look at the post count VS reply, its one guy samefagging his own thread.

everyone that has more estrogen than testosterone.

It makes me chuckle everytime I see someone insinuate women crave attention so much to go onto games and whore themselves, When Sup Forumsirgins are the loneliest most desperate creatures on the planet.

Double edged sword much? lol

Shit it's the same in chess too. Totally dominated by men.

lmao i know rite
men hate attention and complain that woman are attention whores
that edge!

Because they're in it for male attention and not winning, so they don't dedicate enough time/effort to git gud.

shh don't break their delusion you'll get REEEd out of the thread

>in it for male attention

i love this meme

No woman on a videogame comes even remotely close to the levels of /r9k/ loser-dom this cestpit has. The very fact they think this is utterly laughable

>attractive woman plays a game
>desperate thirsty betas shower her in attention and gifts without her doing anything besides play
>this is somehow her fault for existing

Becsuse 10/10 perfect chess waifus die in "accidents"

is english your native language?

I love how Sup Forums is so caught up in their litle bubble that they still think women don't visit/have been a part of Sup Forums since the begining.

Any smart woman follows the rules the same as any smart man. Anonymity. No girl comes to Sup Forums to whore themselves out for attention. Hell you can easily tell most of this thread is women just from the typing styles and mannerisms.

at this stage if you still play sc2 you're top 100 by default.

Are you kidding me? Being social with your hobby is attention whoring now? That's like the whole function of voice chat. Gaming is a social hobby, both men and women use it as a social platform, you only mind when women do it because you honestly believe that a majority of girls holding a controller is the #gamergrill stereotype. It's nonsensical.

i play video games competitively all the time, but I can't even get on the mic without some turbo autist trying to white knight and hit on me. it's fucking embarrassing

idk if this has any impact on gaming but along the human bellcurve of iq men tend to have more outliers than women. women tend to stay in the middle, so they have a lot less really stupid individuals. on the other hand they have a fraction of the geniuses that males have

100% truth at least a few posters on Sup Forums have sense

Because they haven't had a lifetime to exercise their hand eye coordination.

Most girls who are now into games haven't had the time that guys had to hone those skills because they were told from a young age that games are a guys thing and it's weird to play them.

Guys who play games on the other hand have been for most of their life and their hand eye coordination is greater.

She won WCS North America in 2012, plus a bunch of smaller tournaments

Men are more often better with spatial reasoning, ie positioning and aiming, map awareness, are more competitive, and most importantly play more video games

It's like asking why there are more male engineers, which is because more men go to engineering school

Is that what we're calling facts now?

>facts

hot opinion there bub

You know what sucks. How most of the answers are "because less women play games" which is correct, but with "and men are practically super human in comparison" come on son.

that sounds so fucking unlikely to me. i have plenty of female friends and relatives that have played games since a young age and have never been told or had insinuated to them that its a guy thing. its a goddamn entertainment medium

I've had a shit ton of friends who are girls who never touched games because of guys telling them it's not for them.

I know I sound like some tumblr retard but this is from my own experience and conversations. I think it's a very real thing.

I'd like to argue this from a personal standpoint.

I like a lot of scientific/Psychological things, I love puzzles and mindbenders, and i go out of my way to autistically remember maps, enemies, color combinations of RPG character outfits, etc.

Well my GF is more or less the same, if not more. She does the same but with JRPGs, and lots of micromanagement games like Harvest moon, Terraria, and Rune factory. But as much as I love puzzlers, she can seriously kick my ass in them and beat me to the punch on puzzle answers when we work together, so.

Because Schopenhauer was right all along: The ulterior motive in any activity a woman does is to recieve attention and adoration of men.

To be fair they probably just got upset and sulky because they took it out of context.
There are literally thousands of games most 'girls' wouldn't even consider touching with a barge pole. And I'm not talking about porn games or anything similar.

>when you try to argue women aren't attention whores while avatarfagging and "hinting" you're a woman

maybe you should git gud

Men, hell even boys, have way more drive than females. Men can set long term goals and continue pursuing them to the point of proficiency (although most men dont in fact do this unless its from circumstantial habits). Men have more grit and are willing to continue to pursue a goal even after multiple failures. How many guys have you met that continue doing what they do even after getting shit talked and ostracized? Now how many women?

There are other reasons like how women are somewhat intimidated in male dominated spaces thus discouraging them from participating let alone multiple times. Thats on them though. When your pursuing a goal it doesn't matter what gets in the way, whether that be anxiety, logistics, finances or social dynamics. Pursing a goal mean overcoming obstacles even if that means overcoming fears and facts of reality. Im generalizing of course, there are probably plenty of women who purse long term goals with that level of intensity and discipline but that fact that there are so few speaks about what exactly the difference is between femininity and masculinity.

Mine was a childhood friend who used to come over and play games with me on playdates when we were in grade school, So shes more or less grown up on videogames.

At the time, I was "The cool kid" for owning a Gamecube, but when I look back, I realize how wrong that was, because she was a Sega kid, and she grew up with a saturn and a dreamcast. Which I'm, now very jealous i never grew up with.

open competitiveness is a predominantly male attribute and one you see in animals, not just humans

there are girls who play games, enjoy them and have fun my sister is one of them but there are less who see any reason to do it competitively

Both use it as a social platform, but men are conditioned more to improve during play. Women are more content to simply participate and interact. That's my way of explaining it and has been my impression from raiding with women in MMOs.

I believe it when people say there are much more competitive women in gaming though, but I stick to my opinion that women are still treating gaming as a tool to get attention from nerds. Not as an actual hobby. In a decade or so, we may actually see more woman in competitive scenes but you can't look at the current gender standing for any competitive game and try and tell me that the culture of gaming women is at the same level of men. Less woman play, less woman are inclined to go for the top level precisely because there is no support structure.

>I'd like to put forward my in no way biased opinion, and I'm sure my anecdote is applicable to literally every woman
Also
>losing any game to your gf

>facts
Don't think you know what that word means.

>Thinking everything in life is about winning

Grow up.

>thinking men and women are only physically different

Its funny because I'm just a normal looking girl.

Because it takes a lot of dedication, hard work, and personal sacrifice to make it in the world of competitive professional gaming.

For example, if you're a man (especially if asian man) going into professional gaming, you did it despite your parents disowning you, having to put up with being poor as fuck, sleeping in abandoned warehouses, and being called a faggot for years straight. There is no consolation prize for a man; you either git-gud and come out of this hellhole stronger than before, or you kill yourself and no one gives a fuck the next day.

For a woman going into professional gaming, you'll have a ton of options (unless you're comically ugly, at which point you're effectively just a guy); the community embraces you, lets you attend panels, feeds you viewership on stream sites, pays you for being "trailblazers" at tournaments, etc. Because you can stick your boobs and hips out, you never have to do the same thing with your balls; you're never put under the intense pressure to git-gud and so you don't get good.

TL;DR: guys aren't born better than girls, they make themselves better because they have no choice

I didn't really see anyone denying the existence of femanons in Sup Forums ITT, I know for a fact there's a least 3 of salty femanons calling bullshit about grills are not competitive or in really big e sports tourneys, even then there's still a small amount of them and that's true.
Unless there's proof that there's at least 40% of grills in the e sports scene

...

hes cute. would ruffle hair

thats a man

>implying you lost on purpose
scrub

>one area i hope they dont tread into is letting mtf trans compete in womens sports, theyd absolutely wreck everyone

bad news: all you need is a prescription for hormones to compete at whichever gender you choose in the olympics from now on

>Everyone likes attention, we're social creatures after all
not everybody is female, user

>not just having an adrenaline drip

this
>b-but i know this one girl and she is real good and-
yes, and if she was a dude, she'd be even better.

>On purpose

You're talking to the wrong guy buddy. I play games for fun, the amount of times I win or lose is inconsequential. Which is why I love games like souls, Games that test the limits with both failure, and victory.

If you seriously still get bothered because you lost in an electronic toy, You seriously need to grow up.

Im going to refer you all back to my post because the rest of you are wrong, except the maybe two other guys that said something similar

>mental limitations dont exist

> i play for fun

> losing in consequential

> i love gamez liek soulz 4 da test of faila and victory

> grow up

nu male bingo

Never been to /cgl/ I take it?

kek isn't that the girl playing hardcore diablo 3 and some guy unnecessarily risked his life just to "save" her?

Hey if being a "Casual" means I get to actually enjoy my games and not become cynical jaded fucks like you, then power to me.

Call me Captain Casual. I love Videogames and enjoy fun.

guys hate girls and hate sharing anything with them, so drive them away every chance they get

been playing games for about 20 years
every year i get more and more casual

>guys hate girls and hate sharing anything with them

Speak for yourself dirtbag

it's understandable that some people get upset at losing in competitive games. Especially if you devote a lot of time and energy to bettering yourself. No one enjoys losing in a game you're actually trying to be good at. video or otherwise

more like casual bingo. but close enough.

28 here, Amen to that.

>stick to my opinion that women are still treating gaming as a tool to get attention from nerds.
Or maybe, and I know this may sound crazy to you. But maybe they're doing it because they enjoy playing games? I mean dude seriously. Do all men who don't play games competitively (which Is a fuckton) do it for attention? Less women play video games and even less play competitively, but that has nothing to do with wanting your attention, or any man's attention. How narcissistic can you be.
