Gamer Girl

Why is it that when you're a gamer(video, online role play, or in person role play) you're automaticly assumed to be a nerd? If you're a guy its perfectly fine to be a gamer unless its something like dungeons and dragons, but if you're a girl you're considered a nerd?

I am a gamer, I love my xbox 360 and I RP(role play) on a site called the Forgotten Realms. On my xbox I mainly play Halo: Reach, Assassin's Creed (1,2, and Brotherhood), and Modern Warfare 2 (don't have black ops! too much like World at War for me!!!) . On the RP site I have three characters, a Human, Feyborn, and a Drow. If you have ever played D&D than you know what I'm talking about :) I have the site linked on my blog at the top right so if you want to check it out feel free to, oh and if you're into that type of stuff PLEASE JOIN!!! Anyway, on the site you do whats called interactive role playing, its like writting a book with one or more people! It helps develop you're writting skills and its a lot of fun! There are a couple other girls on the site that are active memebers, but not near as many girls as there is guys of course.

As soon as I tell people that I game (people I know in real life) they look at me like there could be no way considering I'm not the normal stereo type of girl to game in the sorts of games I play. Now for the people that I know from online gaming, when I'm on xbox I have my mic on so I can correspond with my teamates so I usually get asked if i'm a 10 year old boy or a girl. If I say I'm a girl then most of the time I get questions like "are you hot?" and I respond with "yes, I'm 450lbs of meaty love" and that turns them away, but thats what gives girl gamers a nerdy rep, because the dumb guys who are on there being rude and nasty! Now dont get me wrong there are some guys out there online who are nice and not nasty.

Here is the link to how most guys are on xbox live. Pre warning there is bad language in this video. This is what pretty much any girl gamer wants to do when you run into a guy like this!

I am from...

I am from Buzz and Iralonna
I am from Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois
I am from passion and love
I am from playing with Barbies and playing Hockey
I am from music and dancing like your Michael Jackson
I am from rough times who made me stronger
I am from a loving and crazy family
I am from the rivers that I wakeboard and ski on
I am from the ultimate creator, a higher being whoever you believe, but to me it's God.
