Is this a serious question?
It's almost like asking the following: "Dear sir, do you ever imagine that fairer sex known as the female would ever think to inquire about this ingenious device known as the automobile?"

Actually its not like that at all.
It would be like that if cars were available to everyone but of the 1000 or so driver you had personally met the only female was one who was driving as a favor to her husband.
It's exactly like that, you're implying that there's some sort of activity (that both men and women are physically capable of) that women wouldn't be interested in doing on their own unless somebody made them do it first. I'm guessing you're not aware of there being a stereotype about men being the person who drives in the household (circa 1950s), and about women being poor drivers generally?

Women typically being bad at something <> women not typically starting to play something without an IRL social reason to do so. Pretty straightforward logic failure on your part - it would make as much sense to draw the conclusion that the OP is attacking men for not having any friends that might persuade them to play Eve.
But I see everyone is having fun posting references to earlier threads, so np.
Oh and u mad?
I wasn't intending to suggest any equivalency there. Even though some recent studies suggest that women represent pretty much an equal or greater share of the overall gaming community (think casual games) the fact is that female players are a very small minority in the EVE community. Despite this though, suggesting that among the thousands of female EVE players (even if it's only a few), that not a single one ever came across the game and decided to play it on their own is either a stereotypically ridiculous concept or a satirical jest. Given the OP's comments in the past, I can only imagine it is the former. Of course it's not impossible that every single female player to ever play EVE started playing at the referral/request of male player, to seriously consider it to be true makes me think that the OP has some stereotypical mental concept of women going on in his head. I didn't want to say that outright in my original post, but now I have to bring it up in order to defend myself.
And no, I'm not mad. Thanks for asking!
