Ric, this may come as a surprise to you, but there actually are some professional female gamers. They just tend to stick to all-female teams; partially because a lot of male gamers feel the same as you do about female gamers and thus refuse to let them play with them, and partially because most female gamers have been harassed by male gamers and don't feel comfortable playing with them anymore.

not all male gamers are that way though i love being in the imps very friendly group to be a part of :-)

Well I might just go buy the book and read it, but let me ask you a question: Do you interact with guys the way you interact with girls? Do you interact with kids the same way you interact with elderly people? I don't, and I'm pretty sure you don't either.

Yes and no. I treat girls the same as I treat guys. Actually, I treat everyone as I feel they should be treated, based on their personality.

Admittedly I treat kids and elderly people different, but that's because kids love using me as a climbing frame, and elderly people are slightly more mature than that.

So if that shirtless construction worker, with an oiled up sixpack, comes up to you for some chit chat, I assume you're gonna fire up that conversation about your periods as an icebreaker? Well I'm maybe a weak man here, but when I see that sex bomb of a woman in high heels coming my direction, I'm gonna be in full salute and you can be sure I'm not gonna be having the same conversations with her that I'd be having with the dudes back in the pub. I'd more likely be extra friendly too. But that's just me and if that makes me a bad apple, I guess I'm gonna have to wait until I get a bit older for my testosterone levels to go down just enough for me calm down.

Don't blame your hormones for your behavior. You're not an unthinking creature operating solely on instinct. You're a human being, and you're more than capable of controlling yourself.
