what is the guy equivalent of gamer girl?

I don't mean ''fake'' gamer girls who profit off of the loneliness of guys.

I mean actual gamer girls. The ratio to males is a million to one in many instances so if you're a girl and play video games with other players (not solo), you will have 50 guys crushing on you (this is a tip to females who have a hard time meeting someone).

Is there an equivalent thing for guys? an activity, hobby, interest in which the ratio is massively skewed in favour of guys? I can't think of any.

This isn't the 90's/early 2000s anymore where gaming was almost exclusively a male thing. Times have moved on, and since the NDS and all their marketing with Nintendo dogs and other games more female friendly it's hardly rare at all now for a female to play games. It's still more common with males, but the ratio's are nowhere near as one sided as they once were.

A gamer girl, stereotypically is a slim attractive female in makeup who likes to play games. There is no male equivalent. There is no "gamer guy"

nearest gaming stereotype you're going to get is a WOW player, and we all know what those tend to look like...

What he is asking is a different question entirely.
he is asking if there is an activity which guys can do which is primarily dominated by girls that girls would completely crush on him for doing

I wouldn't think there is one. Or at least not one that would typically apply to a straight male ie making them desirable as a mate.

e.g. there's a lot of interest in male beauty influencers and the selling point there is that they are male - but of course the majority (if not all) of them are gay.

You need to pull yourself away from FIFA Football then and start playing games not so stereotypically male

I don't play online, but did view a few livestreams on my ps4 of people playing online and remember a girls voice playing fortnight, and a girls voice playing monster hunter, and I literally viewed only about 5 streams..

A lot of girls who play games online hide behind masculine/unisex usernames and avoid going on mic to avoid this.

thats because of what i said. the ratio is so skewed that girls who stream will be n1 easily entirely because they are girls.

i play wow and i know 2 girls irl who play it as well and they tell me they are drowning in ****. they sometimes lie about their sex so guys wont bother them.

its clear u dont game online.

oh i know see my response...
It’s pretty ridiculous how much more attention I get when I’m playing multiplayer on mic with my friends and people realise I’m a girl. Its a turn off to be honest. I just want to be able to play games in peace :smile:

haha i know im sorry we re not civilised beings
Not always the case, I play games online a lot and not all guys are thirsty af. Sure there's the few but most just wanna get on with the game. Just think it's a huge stereotype really.

WoW is not the sort of game that is gonna attract hot gamer girls or really any girls for that matter.

3 out of a very very saturated game for streamers is nothing compared to IRL and games such as League

I meant attract females on any significant scale

try pokemon, the simms [if they do online?]

in fact, go get yourself a switch and use that online because a lot of those games appeal more to women than ps4 games do
