I am a female gamer I can personaly tell you why very females dont admit to being it female. How many times have you male gamers been ask... Hey you want to suck my c**k.. hey lets f**k.. hey I have a huge dick I want to ,, ect ect.

Its hard to find males to play with that respect the fact that 1, you are a female, not cyber wh*%#. 2 don't think that sexual flirting ok. But thankfully there are some out there.

honestly, if i were to be playing a game and you join the lobby or game, i'd be a lot more interested in completing the task at hand compared to your boobs. i mean, i'm sure they're great, but you know. i respect you, and while i'm a guy so i can't say i know where you're coming from, i hope you don't let those douchebags get to you. have a wonderful day!

Jaxonz, kryptopyr, Mattie, you and me, Tamira, zzjay....

Man, now we just need more mod user girls since we have the author front covered! :D

MotoSxorpio wrote: Yeah, quite a shock about the gender numbers. I was sure it was closer to 70-30 male dominant.

Looking forward to what the future brings for the sites. Looks like BlindJudge is jumping in with both feet.

Niyogi wrote: Female user here. I'm super shocked by the gender numbers. I agree with Moto. I thought the gap wouldn't be so large. It does explain the lack of female tailored mods out there though. At least there are some! :)

Tamira wrote: Yeah, took me by surprise too :D

You two and Tamira were apparent, but... the others? o_O And I thought I was on top of checking profiles to check gender to avoid such awkward moments...

Thumblesteen wrote: I'm not that surprised, to be honest. I mean, let's face it, the gaming industry have spent the last ten years or so making every effort humanly possible to alienate women. It's quite tragic, really. To all the women out there who still haven't given up on gaming as a passtime, I must say, I'm quite inspired. To put up with all the sexist nonsense is a proper show of strength.

EMS60 wrote: Hey, not every woman plays SIMS or how things like this are called. :pinch:

But if this is the reflection of the usership I'll never ever wonder anymore why half of the mods want to make your female Dragonborn look like some half nude kindergarten welp with the breast size of Chelsea Charms and the male ones like some watered down Final Fantasy toy boys. :laugh:
<= *praises fadingsignal and Maevan2*

But seriously... I never thought that the female percentage and my own age range would be so small. o_O

Signette wrote: Not surprised really, my guess that if such question would be put out on ANY gaming-only site/community at its core the numbers would be close to that.

Many women/girls are convinced that gaming is too childish or stupid and don't get involved in it or hiding it as best as they can, but tbh in more or less civil countries EVERYONE is a gamer even if that means some casual mobile or browser gaming.

Stereotypes rules minds these days.

Zchu wrote: People are always surprised I am female. I guess I should add something girly on my user name??? I mean my Avy is my female OC... but still.

I am a mod creator also, I just don't publish my work. I horde my things all for myself =p
The only thing published publicly I helped with is the Fine Faces texture. I worked on the neck, ears and redid the feet textures for SAM body.

One day i will publish one of my mods that is not too personal (not one of my OC's is what I mean)

I also download tons of skimpy armor and have nude mods. Not for any pervy reasons, rather as an artist I find the human form beautiful. I want my characters to be perfect and customized, every bit of them.

That's my 2 cents anyway ^^

Jeir wrote: I was also surprised by the gender results. I make no secret that I'm female (nor did Caliente, when she was still around). I also know of a number of mod makers and users who are female.
It could simply be that a lot of the ladies around simply didn't answer the survey. Many people just come for the mods, and may not pay attention to the news, so may not have seen it.

cavity75 wrote: I usually just ignore the skimpy mods, as a woman of course it turned me away from nexus mods for a while. But I've actually been working on creating mods, I've been into stuff like that since I was younger, and I've decided to start. I just block that content and stick to my female characters having their vanilla bodies.

CoffeeShopSamurai wrote: yeah, not gonna lie, that's news to me too

The survey hung up on me and I don't think it ever submitted so that could have happened to more of us unicorns and skewed the results. I know quite a few female modders and mod users over the age of 35 on these sites.

8% 35-44...buncha whippersnappers! *grumble grumble*

The actual female percentage is 8.593%, so has been rounded up.

DuskDweller wrote: Keep in mind that's a statistics, the percentage is relative to the number of people taking the survey, there could be 50% of female Nexus users but they don't give a damn about taking surveys...
Or on the other hand there could be 0.1% of female Nexus users, but they all took the survey. so there seems to be more of them.

GePalladium wrote: Jim is right... women are in the Nexus. Few, but here and "noisy". Would be interesting to have the statistic "mod autor per sexe". Just curious. I bet the percentage for women will increase. That could explain the "noise" x) *pardon my french*
Edit: even if what DuskDweller said about statistics is completly true.

I've recommended friends before and they've commented how the site 'looks like a skyrim pornsite' when I sent them to the front page. It would be nice to see an upgrade.

Suucat wrote: Agree with you, in this gaming world you have to deal with horny dudes, most of them are teenagers, i know this too well, i´m a guy by the way, i played Final Fantasy XI for 8 years, my character was a Mithra (cat girls), lololol how many times i got that kind of messages, i was facepalming a lot, but, i have to say that sometimes girls have it very easy, i mean, i got a lot of gifts, really, a lot of gifts from random strangers, some very cool stuff i have to say, and all because they thought i was a girl in real life because i choose to play with a female character. I´m not saying that girls have to be like that.

Sometimes i felt bad, it was not right but hey, that is what you get for being horny... Most of the time i was like, lol the joke is on you, i´m a guy in real life :p and i enjoyed all that free stuff...

Oh and by the way, in all those 8 years i never cared if i was playing with guys or girls, game was fun, had a great time, mission accomplished.

Peace.

TrollMaster101 wrote: I so agree with you jdgolke. I'm a girl gamer and i get massaged all the time by guys saying just that, most guys don't understand how it feels to girls when they say "suck my c**k" ect etc.... It really weired's them out. Sometimes its a good thing to be a girl player,because you get free stuff but some people just like to play the game without getting free stuff they rather actrully buy the stuff and go on with the game.I have to play as a male player just because of that!! In my mind i think guys should just stop being horny jackasses online. -.-

AlmightyDeity wrote: Yeah, I know a few of my girl gamer friends are pretty shy about speaking in chat. The downsides of being anonymous are that losers will push whoever they can. The sad part is that these idiots are usually dateless irl. People just want to be bullies, especially in competitive games. I think that the act of attacking someone makes them feel as if they won the game.

I suppose That's why I like the Nexus. Idiotic comments like those aren't allowed. None of that "get back in the kitchen" crap allowed. It keeps the trolls out of the serious topic at hand.

wiZZiCuBe wrote: All there is to say on the topic, summarize in a word: Wayne !

It is really important, whether a girl or a guy sitting at the other end ?
When I play, I would like to have fun and not to find out what gender it was.
Sure, it is nice not to always play only with men, but this point, I find totally overrated.
I admire all the modders and their work. And I hope that many continue such great work and ideas to implement and accessible to us.

And believe me, I once had a female Guild master, and she was more stringent than any guy. ;-)

Pie015 wrote: I've always wanted to play with a female in an online game that requires teamwork since it's scientifically proven females think differently than the average macho male player does. Say the average male player would storm in from the front gates with everything but a female gamer would go around the back and look for an alternate path. I'm not saying all male gamers are macho men but a good handful are.

There's a goodly amount of women making some of the very best mods out there.
