Lol, how did this thread even get to 8 pages?

OP, if someone is being an ******e, ignore them and move on. The what or why is irrelevant.

You make this situation bigger than it is by posting a thread about it. If your gay and make a thread about it, you get a bunch of gay jokes. If your a chick and make a thread about it, you get a bunch of chick jokes. If your black and make a thread about it, you get a bunch of racist jokes.

Welcome to the internet, stop pretending like your special.

The second I join a group or a warzone on one of my feminine toons I will get a tell from some dude on my team hitting on me. I reply, I have a ***** and he stops. LOL

When I started SWTOR I followed the same thing, old habits die hard I guess, and I created a male Trooper. However, once I joined my guild and started using voice chat with them, it was obvious I was female. Everyone in my guild has been cool and we have a couple of other girls in the guild as well.

We run a teamspeak server and recently put our photos as avatars for fun.

However, recently, we had a situation where we had a pug DPS join our OPs group because we were missing a dps. We invited him into TS and the second he noticed that I was a girl, I started getting tells from him almost right away. I have no idea how young/old he was, but I'm 26 and am not in the mood to have guys flirting with me over an MMO.

I also haven't seen anything like this in a while, nor heard of it, and figured it was a dying thing with mmos where guys have finally realised that "yeah, girls play too." But apparently not.
Lol a 13year old with a very young voice is trying to sell us this fantastic story...
Sure youre a GIRL ( Guy In Real Life )....

And if you're tired that peopel flirt you vecause your "a real girl" why do you use voip then? its the most way how girls would get annoyed.. pfft

You*re either seeking attention, trying to make ingame items by advertising here or just trolling.. but you're never ever a Girl...


A Girl who dont want to get annoyed/flirted would NEVER come here and argue and avdertise her gender....
nice try dude...


PS. you cant sell us this.. its really common in general chat that peopel try to pretent to be girls and that they are getting flamed AND exposed ...

The last one i exposed was one that also sent pictures...but thanks "reverse image search" i exposed him as a fake... so... go on...

I hate to say it but the only thing I see in this thread is: "I'm a gamer chick. Give me attention."

I'm sorry that you have experienced this, but yes, some of us do still live under rocks. Exposure to the real world isn't something that is time sensitive. I've met very immature 50 yrs olds and highly mature 19 yr olds. Much of what we think is in the past is still out there. Not lurking to gain a foothold again, as some exreamists might think, just as the last vestiges of an out dated mindset. How long did it take cartoons to be taken seriously as an adult media? (oh yea, that hasn't happend yet.)

It will take time. Perhaps a LONG time. Eventually it will happen.
It's amazing how loud a dollar can be.

Really? And how else are you supposed to co-ordinate in a PUG? Surely you aren't saying that any woman who uses VOIP is asking to be hit on? Or maybe you are, in which case, get back under your bridge and grow the hell up.

Wait. So, gaming while female is an open invitation for any cretin to annoy you or try to pick you up? Bollocks, honey.

Listen up mate, my wife is a gamergirl ( i can proove ) she actually NEVER ever goes on VOIP because she dont want peopel hit on her...that easy...
Its the same for all genders... if you dont want soemone speaking spanish to you.. dont reveal you're speaking spanish.. if youre a girl.. and dont want flirt.. then just dont reveal you're a girl.. do not join PUGs or just dont talk IF you dont want to get flirted...


The OP is a guy i bet...
you think it cant be faked?
