Oh, I see, well I haven't seen too many girls lately, they come on here and say "Hey, guys, I'm a girl, but don't make a big deal of it," and then we all sarcastically say "WOW" and then we ask why they wanted to point out they were girls even if we didn't care...
So, not too many.

If you're planning on getting into a match with 7 women who are all giggling and talking about sex over the mic, I doubt that is going to happen.
But yes, I've seen a couple women play but they usually don't talk over the mic unless they absolutely need to. After they do, of course, you get the OTHER guy who thinks he is being funny by going "HOLY CRAP A GIRL IS HERE" in a sarcastic way in order to look like he is making fun of people who actually do that, but really making a fool of himself. Then the next guy comes in with his "Don't treat women like that, they just want to play the game". Usually the "smart" women don't fall for this classic Super Sensitive and Defensive Guy act. But sometimes they appreciate it and the defensive guy sucks up to her the rest of the game, until he eventually gets added to the Friends-List then accomplishes everything he's ever wanted in life. Every once in a while you get some guy who thinks women shouldn't be playing games, and not be on the same team as him. This guy is usually gonna be un-interested in getting her to IM pics of her boobs, and more interested in winning the game and making the woman feel sexually harassed by making several boob/ass/pussy jokes. I rarely see people like that though.

i just ignore whatever shameless grooming some guy is giving some girl and treat everyone the same: like shit (naturally). anyways, there's two girls on my list, i don't play with them often though. one is also probably a guy, since s/he has no headset.

I've seen it happen in TF2 more than in L4D, but I have no doubt that it happens. I'm personally one to use the mic only when needed. If, on the rare occasion, my hubby plays I'll just talk to him in person since our PC's are in the same room.

I usually assume 10 year old boys are girls before realising they're just little kids, which is an amazing thing to tell them when they start to annoy you.
"KId, you sound like a girl. Please stop shooting me."

It is probably people she is comfortable with, or maybe she just doesn't care if people say something. The last few times I've played versus has been with the same team so I'm getting more comfortable with it since they never say anything moronic.

I've seen a few, and I play with some, just for some input on your question. They are certainly there, but as it's been pointed out, the majority of them it would seem just like to play the game. That's how it should be.
I could honestly care less of their gender, personally. Can they use a rifle? Can they cover my ass when I get pounced on/puked on? If they can, the more power to them. Otherwise I just treat them as a normal random player on a server.
Slightly off-topic: It annoys the hell out of me when a girl out of nowhere says they are a girl, not because I care myself, but because of the inevitable horde of men who will not shut the hell up about it for the rest of the game.

I have around 10 friends on xbox that a girls, I invited all of my l4d friends once, including a few girls. And guess what happened? Only the girls joined. they all joined around the same time, and all went "hey shadow!" Then they all went silent for a second, and started asking each other if they were kids, each responded no, and stated they were girls. They had a good laugh, and then it went silent again. I was quiet the whole time, kinda laughing. And then one of them asked if I was a pervert since only girls joined, asking if I only invited girls. I told her no, but she gave me crap about it the whole time. One of the funniest and fun games I have ever had on l4d. Girls are (usually) way more laid back in gaming.

Usually in the lobby I find that boys are a bit apprehensive in wanting to play once they realize I'm a girl. Some are cool, the others are like "Yeah, just follow my lead. I see all and know all."
Then the game starts, and suddenly "Wow, she knows what a 360 controller is!" and I end up meleeing a hunter or smoker off their ass after they sit there yelling "HOW BOUT SOME HELP?"
For the truly nasty ones, I do respond with "But i'm only a girl... Oh noes, what can I possibly do?" then they end up dying, and rage quit.

I play L4D with a girl every so often. I just feel creepy inviting her along with two other guys into a game and only her show up, it's like, "...come here often?" But she's good. She knows what she's doing.
My cousin was playing right next to me and he said, "Why does "insert GT here" sound like a 12 year old boy?"
I'm trying to get my girlfriend to play, but she's obsessing over COD4 right now.

What's the topic of this thread again... not misogynistic and preferential treatment to and against women? Hah. Nevermind.
*Name drop girl here "Yeah, she's good, we talk a lot and stuff..."*
Now, I'm all for playing with women, but just saying "If it's women it is win" doesn't work. They should be no different, but it is inevitable to drop some 'noob' calling as some people try to act gentlemanly, but in this day and age, that behavior over the internet feels almost cliche... it is CLOSE to disgusting, but at least the guy's trying... but it all comes down to the friends list. The end. If you read through this, read through it again, because you can explain to me what I wrote.

lol I'm not really sure what you just wrote. The only part I THINK I got was that it all comes down to getting them on your friend's list? maybe?

Seriously, i could care less if the players im with are chicks. As long as they are good. all this "shes one of the best players i know" crap needs a rest. i played with 2 girls (granted it was a pub match) and they were more interested in impressing each other and showing me and the other gentlemen playing how vindictive and racicst they were. Now im all for a good joke but no one needs all the attitude. and dont give me the, "God cant you take a joke?" its not a joke if its meant to hurt moron. And stop thinking you're "cool" cuz you're in high school and dubbed yourselves "cunts in training." Seriously, indiviuals that treat others like shit are exactly that, SHIT! Thats half the damn problem with people today, they think its cool to make others feel like shit! WTF is wrong with you people? Back on topic, i have played with females and USUALLY its a normal expeience. I have never played with the infamous "Super Girl" that people keep mentioning and most are just average. Im just tired of the "look at me im a chick and i think its cool to be a bitch." (insert dumbass and dick for chick and bitch for the male version) enjoy your lonely lives since you think its "cool" to be an asshole.
Wow, someone is a little bitter. You seem to be implying that every girl plays the same way, and that no girl is capable of being a great player no matter what, not saying I'm the best or anything but damn, other girls can't be? If anyone acts like a tard, just vote kick and move on... it prevents bitterness.

Srsly guise, teh internets is serious business. I'm super sereal.
In all seriousness, though, the female gamers I know personally, for the most part, could kick my ass fairly consistently. It's not necessarily that women are better players, but they have to be able to own to get pricks like me to stop picking on them.

Yeah too much emphasis is put on girl gamers in my opinion. For gaming to be entirely unsexist it shouldn't even be raised as an issue if there is a girl gamer knocking about, just accepted as a prett uninteresting fact. For example, anyone heard of the 'Fragdolls'? They're a team of girl gamers, all busty or good looking, corporate backed and apparently not exaclty fanastic at playing games. It's these groups that stereotype and give a bad name to female gamers, which is pretty crap all things considering
However, I don't think we'll ever get rid of those drooling idiot teenage boy gamers who get hyper and start drooling at the merest scent of a girl gamer playing with them. Now they give us guys a bad name too...

Agreed. I play with anyone who can hold their own.
Few of my teammates are 13-15 guys and it doesn't bug me in the least since they can hold their own in combat.
We also have a girl from scotland and again, IDRC, she can play, thats all thats important to me.
My only thing is that the girsl seem to not use their mics even when I tell them IDC, just play. Same with the 13-15 boys. IDC if you sound like a sissy, just play the damn game and communicate wqhen you get nailed.

I think it is just a matter of girl gamers not being all too common until recently, currently sitting at about 40%, some guys just probably aren't used to it which is fine imo just don't be a douche about it lol. Give it a few years and the stigma will likely be gone.
