Ok, let-¦s assume for a moment it-¦s not trolling. 1 - How do you now "for a fact' this difference in reflexes? Can you give some hard data on that? 2 - Being more emotional implies a decrease of performance? If it does, why, if it doesn-¦t, why was it even mentioned? 3 - What is "being treated like a man" like? And what is "being treated like a woman" like?
1) Simple Google search led me to this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC155400/ Of course this seems to be reflex of the legs, so if we are talking reflexes in general, possibly. However I believe since we are talking Dust, Ps3, and video games, we'll need hand and finger reflexes.
2) I believe a girl or woman who is emotional actually INCREASES their performance. Think about mothers. Now think about those mother who go into "Mama Bear" mode. Don't mess with Mama Bears. But again, I don't have much factual evidence to back it up. If the discussion continues I'll look into finding better info.
3) like a gentleman? And like a lady? Maybe? *shrug* |

Thank you very much! I didn't have time to answer sooner as I had a district to defend. I mean, yeah, I don't know why anyone would challenge the fact that men do in fact have better reflexes, better spatial awareness and all that stuff. I mean if we're talking about most areas of competition the best men in the world generally outperform the best women in the world by quite a large margin. And it doesn't have to be something where extreme strength or speed is required. Let's take curling, darts or pool or even StarCraft II for examples. Men outperform women in these things.
And yeah, I have never said that being more emotional or sensitive decreases someone's performance. The reason why I brought this thing up, guys, is the fact that because women generally are more sensitive and emotional , you have to interact with them differently than you'd interact with a typical man. This is in fact the mistake most guys make. They go out there, talk to a woman in the same manner they'd talk to the typical dude in the nearest dorm, the girl gets mad about it, and the guy calls the girl a *****! All I'm saying is that it's about time we admit that women and men are different. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about equal rights, but at the same time we are different. |

Here's a little knowledge for you guys from a study from 2005 about reaction times:
"We tested the different reaction rates of men and women. Based on the theory of Natural Selection, created by Charles Darwin, we know that only the strongest or best adapted will survive. This implies that the environment shapes a
personGÇÖs reaction time and other behaviors, making it possible for them to
survive in nature. In addition, we have previously learned through history, that men and women had different roles in society. Men were mostly the hunters, often working in an environment that required constant sensory attention. Men also played the role of the warrior. On the other hand, women mostly tended to housework and raising children, often in a domestic environment that was much more relaxed and stable. By looking at DarwinGÇÖs theory, only men with the best sensory reactions would have survived their environments, however, the natural selection was not as strict for women. Since DarwinGÇÖs theory states that only the strong will survive, the strongest traits will be passed from generation to generation. Over time we hypothesized that the reaction times will have improved significantly but differently among gender. Therefore, we predicted that men will have quicker sensory reactions because of their previous roles in society than women."
"Our results supported our predictions by showing a significant difference in
the reaction time of men (mean= .4491 sec) and women (mean= .7418 sec; t=2.160, P<0.05). We also showed there was a significant difference between men (mean= .501 sec) and women (mean= .9151 sec) for light (t=2.262 , P<0.05) and between men (mean= .39725 sec) and women (mean= .5685 sec) for sound( t= 3.182, P<0.05)."

I'm a feminist, but it comes off as extremely stupid to say that "men" do something and that "men" think they're better than you. This isn't some ongoing war between the genders... Both sides have inequalities, and while women do face the most, and have for a majority of human history, grouping the opposite gender into a large category and blaming them for doing things makes you just as bad as the people you complain about. |

I absolutely do believe that you can pretty much annihilate most people in an FPS game, no question about it, and we know that anyone of us can be great and better than than 99% of population at anything just by putting in the hours and working hard. There's gonna be a time though when even the most hard working individual hits his or her physical limitations and that's where all the other stuff comes into play. That includes gender. |

Well, again, keeping in mind the caveat in the text of your source at the end noting that their methodology might be flawed, which it probably is. They admitted that their sample size was not sufficient, etc. I'd take a look at that paper again.
I'd also like to address Kaze Eyrou's post. In it he says that emotions with regard to gender play a role in game performance. While your emotions play a role in game performance, (everyone, EVERYONE suffers from tilt), the emotionality of men vs women are pretty much the same. (Source: Delusions of Gender. Seriously. It's an awesome book. Go buy it.) |

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. |

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. |

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. |

For the most part I try to treat everyone equally, but everyone has their own discriminating tastes in who they want to associate with. For example: I like good intelligent conversation. Anyone who can provide that automatically gets a plus in my book. People who can't get a minus. I don't factor in race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, etc since it doesn't matter to me. I just want to talk about pretentious stuff and sip cocktails.
Full disclosure: I'm like nine types of qweer /socially liberal, so it might give you an insight into my background and why I treat people this way. Keeping in mind I also don't mean "liberal" like most folks from the states mean. |

I met an 8 year old on EVE online who was one of the best incursion FCs I've ever met. SPACE MONKEY!!!! Seriously, this kid knew his stuff. His mother was actually in the fleet with us, and deferring to his expertise the entire time like a proud parent. I'm pretty sure she was a better FC, but this kid was epic. Really knew his stuff. We flew about nine hours of VG slowboat armour fleets, earned a few billion isk each, and didn't lose a single ship. |

I'm a guy. If some shirtless construction worker with an oiled up sixpack walks up to me and starts chatting me up, I'm getting the **** out of there. Either that or get him to benchpress me a couple of times, which would be kinda awesome.
As for girls you actually lust after, that's different. It's not as if I see a girl and instantly want to sleep with her. Besides which, you're getting off-topic. The subject is girls in gaming. I'm not going to treat a female on my team as a potential incompetent simply because she's a different gender. |

If some shirtless construction worker with an oiled up sixpack walks up to me and starts chatting me up, I'm getting the **** out of there. Either that or get him to benchpress me a couple of times, which would be kinda awesome. As for girls you actually lust after, that's different. It's not as if I see a girl and instantly want to sleep with her. Besides which, you're getting off-topic. The subject is girls in gaming. I'm not going to treat a female on my team as a potential incompetent simply because she's a different gender.
My bad, bro. And I don't treat girls as a bad player either just because she happens to be a girl. I do, however, interact with them differently than I do with the guys at pub and oh yeah, when I wake up with that stiff morning boner, get some ethiopian coffee, fire up my Dust 514, squad up with that babe with a sexy voice, I will throw in a couple of dirty jokes just to get my day started. Is that such a bad thing, dude? |

The jokes? Probably not. But as long as you realise nobody cares what's going on in your pants, and telling everyone about it on a video game is probably going to come across as creepy. Also, if your jokes are crap, don't be offended if that girl doesn't want to squad with you anymore. |

No, not really, but trying to say that women are inherently, genetically disadvantaged when it comes to gaming is. I honestly can't argue with you when it comes to physical abilities, since every statistic you can look at in the Olympics points to men being stronger and faster than women, but come to something like gaming...
You also need to keep in mind that women sometimes get sick of being hit on, or the target or subject of dirty jokes, which has resulted in an extreme feminist movement, also called "feminazism". Sometimes it's best to just be cautious about these things, as you may end up annoying a couple of extra sensitive people by accident. |

Yes? I don't play dust to get hit on by guys, I play dust to kill people in dropsuits with knives.
Also, way to fulfill the stereotype of the pervy male gamer. You're doing wonders for your kind. |
