Why aren’t most women into Video games?
"These gender differences may help explain why males are more attracted to, and more likely to become 'gamers' rather than females," the researchers wrote in their paper, that was recently published online in the Journal of Psychiatric Research. Research has shown that reward feelings is more present in men then in women. In further analysis this could be explained by the fact that most men don’t generally lose constantly at Video games. The reward, happy, happy, feeling only happens after a win and if you lose continually you just don‘t get that feeling that most men know and love. Though it is true that most video games are just a huge waste of time, though after a man has a hard day at work, has some extra time on his hands, wants to try out the newest best seller or just needs to unwind with the senesless violence of a first person shooter or the excitement of a sports game we got that option. Thus instead of getting a manicure or our hair done, looking at clothing/shoes or talking with the boyz for hours on end, some choose to exploit the digital world. Video games are like most things that have been invented by mankind. Sports for instance; It was once considered very taboo for a women to engage in or enjoy sports like tennis, hockey, shooting, baseball etc.. now it is the social norn that some women excel and enjoy sports. Now whether Video games shall take the same route for women as sports have is a matter of speculation, due to the simple fact that video games aren’t traditionally a spectator sport. According to some research the average female plays around 7.4 hours a week, though when we look around most video game stores or arcades most of the time we notice that women are absent, except for the odd female dragged their by her boy friend. Only time shall tell if women can achieve the same ability as their male counter parts at video games, though at the moment all we have to do is look at the Facebook, mind jolt games, highest scores and we shall see that hardly any women occupy spots on the all time highest scores list. Like most activities if you lack at it, generally speaking, you won’t do it and criticize those that enjoy and engage in it. Thus if you feel you’re a manly man and enjoy getting layed it is probably in your best interest to keep your gaming fetish a secret un till evolution takes effect and women start to relies the benfits of video games.
