Cosmo Says: Girls Who Play More, Get It On More
Well, if Cosmo says it, it has to be true. They've never been known to publishing anything false for the sake of attention...
But anywho, at least gamers can interpret it as good news, provided they don't think too much about it. As several sources around the Internet have already noted, the most recent issue of Cosmopolitan features a downright stunning revelation concerning females who play video games. We all know the stigmas and stereotypes, which makes it all the more shocking: according to their "survey," women who play games get it on more than those who don't; four times per week instead of three. They suggest getting a Wii or going to an arcade because the guy will be in "man-date heaven."
Now, we hate to play devil's advocate here, but- No. We won't do that to you. Let's just wonder aloud about things that won't dispel this wonderful idea. ...um, do you still have an arcade in your area? And do actual gamers go there, or just kids under the age of 7 and girls who think it's more like a carnival? And does it have to be the Wii? Now aren't all you girls insulted at the stereotype that only girls would play games that...well, aren't really indicative of where the industry is? And what the hell is "man-date heaven," anyway?
Well, we'll just leave it at that. You guys can enjoy the fantasy as long as you like. Remember, it's in Cosmo.

If you're poor and wasting your time to the point of being called a "gamer" than you've earned being poor. I was obviously comparing the two with my comments.
If you're poor due to a situation beyond your control than move to Indiana and open up a Second Hand store and run for Mayor.
You're going to let me put my cha cha in your hoohah!? If we ever had kids I'd eat them, that's for sure.

But uh... No, and Cosmo is partly to blame... Who reads that trash anyway?

the gal up top is the gamer that the story's about, & the other pic is just a generic pic done as related to gal's gaming(just like Ben put's at the top of each thread).
But regardless I'll take either, or both.
Anyway, about the posed pic at the top, I blame the photographer for her pose.
I figured that he was thinking more along the lines of eye candy, rather than having her actually concentrate on the game itself. He should have included a actual pic of her while gaming, so we could see that, plus have our eye candy too.
Or maybe she's just a high maintenance gal who demanded that he get every inch of her too in that one shot.
Either way, at least she could be my 48 hour worth of playtime fun.

She owns a Wii, and she loves the games on there, like Super Mario World, the dancing game, and sports game.
She never owned a playstation or an x box, but she owns every nintendo consoles and has played every Zelda game.
She is a big sports fan, and loves to play sports and sports video games. She is in school for sports management.
And she loves reading cosmo, I heard about this topic from her the other day, and she laughed and sigh and said "make sense."
I just got her hooked on the Sonic games, and it took me about 10 tries to beat her Madden NFL 11 (I had to cheat).
We have been together for a little more than a year and she is kick ass and I love her for that. Her only downfall is that she like the Patriots! :S

I'm a female gamer, and no I do not play wii. Give me my PS3 and GOW, bioshock, borderlands, DMC, Infamous etc... I'd like to also say this whole topic that female gamers are basically unattractive is sad - if that's the majority of what you guys run into you're not asking the right girls :) I have several female friends that are gamers and let's just say that we're doing fine in the looks department.
