I mean and kept playing. Im sure some women loaded it up, tried it for a few days, realized what the game is an quit.
I think every verified female I have ever met in EVE was either coaxed in by real life friends or entered along with a guild from another game. And they still play either with their original friends or with new friends they met in corps they joined along with old friends.

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?

Female gamers are really annoying, imagine random trashtalk (me) PLUS "im a girl" every 3 seconds, its like your in a fleet and its like "so whos scouting" and the suddenly you will get "im a girl in RL, im talking on TS too see im female" and im like "dude stfu". FIRST!! |

Oh, come on, girls.
Everyone knows men can't use computers. They're too easily distracted - after all, they think about sex every seven seconds, because ALL STEREOTYPES ARE TOTALLY TRUE, so no male could handle a game like EVE. Look at the name! It's called *EVE*, not ADAM.
This game is for women.

Confirming that my former CEO (that is now my corpie instead) joined this game together with her other female friend and made their own corporation in low sec. This was quite a while ago, and they're both going strong, though in different corps.
They did not come from any other MMO, as far as I know, and were not coaxed by any male friends. ---- The Demigodess with a Conscience - An EVE IC Blog

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.

I started to play eve as it was recommended by a 'male' friend. He has since stopped playing as have all my other male friends who tried it. I have since got my husband mining for me seeing as he can't beat eve so he joined her. I once went on TS with a gang and they all started to giggle like school girls, there were alot of foreign speakers so then all started talking in wherever they came from and laughing alot. Consequently, I did not do TS after that much, no point really, they obviously did not take me seriously at all. more fool them i guess So I am nearly a 4 year old character on my main, I should be taken seriously now surely!
I am sure there are men on the internet, but usually late at night, in the dark in case their wife/gf/mother catches them, seeing as it women who rule the internet in the daytime.... now wheres that off switch for the power

In all seriousness, most of the chicks I know would probably quit Eve in the first day. The way most woman are raised the idea of spaceships, let alone internet spaceships just won't interest the majority. Hell, Eve hardly interests most MEN who try it and quit after a week or two. Eve is a very, very old game and in all honesty our subscription numbers blow.
(Not that I would change a thing, I like our 300k'ish subscribers and I don't think the game could even handle a real population explosion very well.)

This. Please fraps the resulting 'conversation' for our amusement.

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!

I'm not even seeing what the big deal is really. If someone were to walk up and tell me Eve Online doesn't interest the vast majority of woman, I would hardly be surprised. I mean these girls are surrounded by pretty much nothing but dolls, pink, and fluffy **** all their lives and are pretty much coerced to feel that they have to like these "girly" things then why would we suddenly expect them to like a game like Eve Online?
In the same vein, I'm told all my life that I need to avoid deriving any joy whatsoever from anything girly and/or pink (eww pink). That to be taken seriously as a MAN I need to do manly things like watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (as a kid) and enjoy super awesome jets, fast cars and explosions. Logically, something like Eve would relate better to me than your typical female.
His original question as a broad statement is valid in my eyes, now of course their may be outliers, I mean their are ALWAYS outliers. But I would think that the majority of female Eve would be drawn to the game by male players for some reason or another and would be less likely to join on their own volition. Then again I myself have introduced Eve to well over a dozen people myself, though only two of those people being females and BOTH of which decided the game wasn't interesting to them (big surprise there).
Basically, anyone bashing this guy for asking this question needs to stop getting their panties in a bunch (SEEWHATIDIDTHUR?).

Eww pink.
In all due seriousness - you're right, this game isn't going to attract a lot of women, and will keep far fewer. But I think what really irritated me was the OP's supposition that we couldn't discover the game and like it on our own without encouragement from somewhere.
I didn't need anyone telling me it was ok for me to be good at math and science, or that it was alright for a girl to be a computer programmer. And I didn't need anyone to even tell me what the game was about before I wanted to try it.
Actually all they did was show me a screen shot of a couple of ships - I downloaded the trial on the spot and signed up for a full account 3 days later. Meh, it's not a big deal, but I think it was the underlying implication (intentional or not) of the statement that is causing the rancor this thread is displaying (my own included). --Vel

In all due seriousness - you're right, this game isn't going to attract a lot of women, and will keep far fewer. But I think what really irritated me was the OP's supposition that we couldn't discover the game and like it on our own without encouragement from somewhere.
I didn't need anyone telling me it was ok for me to be good at math and science, or that it was alright for a girl to be a computer programmer. And I didn't need anyone to even tell me what the game was about before I wanted to try it.
Actually all they did was show me a screen shot of a couple of ships - I downloaded the trial on the spot and signed up for a full account 3 days later. Meh, it's not a big deal, but I think it was the underlying implication (intentional or not) of the statement that is causing the rancor this thread is displaying (my own included).
O-M-G ITS AN OUTLIER! BURN IT BURN IT NOW! OH MY POOR POOR MASCULINITY!!

This game is for women.

I think CCP should implement marriages with NPCs (Uncharted Waters/Daikoukaijidai style) along with Encarna as an isk sink. Just imagine the divorce/cheating/lawyer-ganking drama that would ensue. And all without ever having to undock from the station.

Not that I want to take this topic seriously or anything, since it really, truly doesn't deserve it, but:
Consider the attitudes on display in threads like these, and the pervading sense throughout the forums that women aren't quite real people and aren't quite welcome around here.
Consider, too, that apparently a number of males (I wouldn't call them men; that has positive connotations that are in this case unwarranted) can't actually use words like "woman" and just talk about "females" instead, and seem unable to handle the concept that women could play, enjoy, and be good at this game.
I would argue that these things contribute a lot more strongly to a lot of women not enjoying this game than OMG IT HAS SPACESHIPS AND LIKE NUMBERS AND STUFF, for one thing, and for another, I would suggest that perhaps a lot more women play this game than are willing to admit they're women in public.
Trust me, I've been playing MMOs for years, and I only sometimes let on that I'm a woman. It's not gender confusion or envy - it's that these are *games*, and when I'm playing a game, I don't always want to deal with being treated like I'm some kind of unnatural mythical creature, constantly derided and hit on - sometimes by the same people.

Very true, however I disagree that men cannot use computers. They can, but the only reason that they can is that computers allow them to watch ****. Ever had guys in your corp or alliance suddenly say that their computer broke or stopped functioning so they can't make it to the big mining op tomorrow? yeah ... makes you wonder what kind of spyware those sites were spiked with ... And when the ingame browser was revised and guys found out that they couldn't watch movies over it - remember how vehemently they complained about it and how frustrated they were? At that point I had a feeling they weren't here to play EVE at all but do something else while playing EVE.

This, a thousand times this. Very few females on any of the games have played the game solely because they enjoy it. More often than not, they're just looking for attention and the "OMG A GIRL" comments.
Truthfully, I'm glad that that women's only corp that was advertising so heavily a while ago has since fallen to the wayside. Being female was their schtick, I guess they were a pretty terrible corp. **** or not.

Sadly, I have to agree. My corp has had a direct experience of this phenomenon. Of course, I don't want to say that every girl in EVE behave like this, but really, it happens more often than not. My gf is quite interested in EVE, and she thinks it's probably che deepest mmorpg that aver hit the market (but she's a nerd, so it's understandable). This being said, she tried to play a couple of times but she found out it's just not the game for her. She wants to relax while playing, not involve herself in the f***ing 0.0 politics :P
I don't think it's about skills, after all it is said that women can handle pressure and tension better than men, in general. I think it's simply about likes and dislikes.

Or the guys replying to the thread have had TOO MUCH contact with women in their lives, hence the despair and bitterness.
At least virgins have hope that the girl of their dreams will crash land into their room (so they don't have to go out in the sun to look for her) and make their lives better...and take their virginity away in the process. But those who have had enough contact with women don't even have such hope.
There's only bitterness and lawyer-induced-ganking of their bank accounts left for them. |

Of COURSE women love playing Eve - the shopping is fantastic!! :) I can spend hours drooling over new toys for my ships, new ships to fly, new skills to buy...
Started on my own, and have brought four men to the game so far :)
