When we “girl gamers” go in to a lobby, we can be pretty intense, meaning that people wonder why we have such a hard shell.

I can’t deny that I have gone in to a lobby and automatically was rude, but I blame the guys that we have to put up with. It is those guys that don’t respect girl gamers, they say hurtful words and we girl gamers are never the same again. The below list isn’t talking about any particular guy but we’re rather dealing with ‘stereotypes’.

1.       The Stupid

Well this guy is just too blank minded to even comprehend anything you tell him. He just keeps making lame jokes while his clan buddies just laugh along to sentences that nobody else understands. He seems to know more about useless information than anything else. You ask him simple questions and the guy does not know anything. He hits on girls and gets rejected, therefore causing him to piss off every other girl he sees on the way. Girls are disgusted with his ignorance and he is easily mute.

2.       The Fake

We are taught to not believe anything over the internet. This guy likes to talk about his life a lot, a life that seems too good to be true. He says things like, “I totally have a [exotic car name], and ten girlfriends.” First of all, who has time for ten girlfriends? Once ‘The Fake’ says this, all of us in the lobby will automatically assume that you live in your mother’s basement. Maybe this guy really is successful but who the hell cares, the only way to impress people online is with your scores.

3.       The Too Manly for Mankind

He is better known as the, “make me a sandwich” dude cause that’s all he eats, Sandwiches. He goes out of his way to put the girl in the lobby in her “place”. He doesn’t even play good or give any good directions, and is the always the first death. This guy is a professional at pissing people off, he wants to dominate the game, he wants to be the alpha male. But c’mon you’re never going to Kratos with that terrible k/d.

4.       The Trying To Hard

This is the guy that gets so excited when there is a girl in the lobby; it is his moment in life where he may finally snag his life partner. Deep breathing echoes through the mic, “hey cutie, beautiful, gorgeous.. etc.” Once I hear that, automatic turn off, thank you for the mute button. Is this guy so desperate that he will hit on any girl when he in fact does not know how she looks like?

Perhaps he is but to us girls he is ‘trying too hard’. Heads up fellas, if you seem to run into a girl that actually likes to hear these guys constantly hit on her, it must mean that she doesn’t hear it much, that should give you a hint.

5.       The Annoying Kid

You hear that high pitched voice and you either have to guess if it’s a girl or a boy. Listen to what this child says and it makes you wonder how terrible his parents are. If this kid was yours, you would not tolerate the garbage coming from the pipes of this young one. This kid has that “don’t care” attitude and most of them seem to travel in packs. Even though he doesn’t respect girl gamers, you know its game over for him when you hear his mom yelling through the mic.

6.       The Lonely

We find this guy so charming at first. He’s a pretty quiet guy, girls like guys that are sweet and sensitive. NOT. Once you get to know him, he is kind of… depressing. It started off with a care package gift to a small conversation about our dogs and now he’s telling me his entire life story. The girl either does two things at this point, she either A. leave and delete or B. keep listening because 1. She feels bad or 2. She feels your pain. Don’t be those depressing guys, it rubs off sometimes.

7.       The Foreign Douche

Some girls find accents hot and exotic; sometimes we don’t even care how you look like, we just want to hear that sultry voice. But then there are those guys that have the accent, but come off as extremely unattractive. He is extremely rude to the girls that are at the top of the lobby. He makes it seem like women are dogs in his country. When he is mad, he will talk in his language and we can’t help but be racist. This guy is so obnoxious; he should’ve just stuck to making his account in his country.

Not all the guys that we meet are put in to these categories; just the ones that don’t have any respect for us are being called out. It’s really refreshing to play with men, real men that treat us like normal human beings. Not only that but being respectful is attractive to a lot of girls, more than you think. Anybody can actually relate to this article because we’ve all met these intolerable people at some point in our gaming lives. Just play nice people.
