You're assuming all women like cuddly graphics, which then we can just cite My Little Pony also appealing to young adult males. | ||

I mean you could argue that the majority of the male gamers don't play SC, but we don't have the numbers Maybe girls get into games through there boy friends. For example a friend of mine played CoD with his GF, and she got pretty good and is into games now. Also there may be a ton of girls who play, but we wouldn't know. an account like "DeathAngel" doesn't say you are a girl or a guy. There is nothing in your profile that says what gender you are. This is wrong as well. Women and men enjoy challenges alike, just in different forms and fashions. I don't think gender plays much of a role! | ||

I know that girls play StarCraft, just they are very outnumbered and many aren't very active in teh community | ||

Or is it just because you don't really talk on ladder? I don't know, someone fill me in if you think it is worth your time. close topic | ||

Because people are naturally curious and through that curiosity aim to understand areas or aspects of life they aren't too familiar with. If more people are asking similar questions, then it shows signs of a service or a product needed to help answer this desire or interest. This is just an example, but common questions that constantly reoccur are something people can take advantage of to further promote knowledge and thus, popularity, for their own service. There were many female cups that promoted women gamers and their "assumed" minority. These events help quell common questions such as the OP. | ||
