Where are all the females?!
Came across this article:

Is it because girls don't like doing the forum thing? Your opinions... -oddguy |
You dirty........
|
VanillahKillah, RedMuse, and AbeBabe make up for any lack of girls on OWF ;)
|
What he said^
|
Especially AbeBabe.......gah, sexy.......
|
I suppose those girls are just not the internet type, or maybe are not aware of the forums as of yet.
Oh...How could I forget Hayley? |
PFFT! stupid guys dont know the meaning of girls iam a girl u forgot me!!!!
lol :( *walks off cryin* |
Oddguy, if it would make you feel better I could pretend I am a woman.

I was just pointing out that we at the OWF appear to be hard-core fans and know a lot about OW...and the majority of us are guys. Lorne says that Women are the hard-core fans, so why aren't they on OWF? Wouldn't it be more balanced? -oddguy |
Eh, I think it's the fact that girls tend to have more of a social life than guys, and usually aren't as computer savvy as us. I'm sure there are plenty of hardcore female fans out there that just haven't discovered OWF, or don't have time for it.
|
maybe lot of girls don't feel well between all you guys...
.:VaniLLaKiLLah:. |
Yeh, hobo probably scares 'em off:p

-oddguy |
now that very much depends on who your talking about lol hobo
|
Aw iam kidding hobo is nice most times
|
kellie, please refrain from double posting.
As for the females on the forums subject. I agree. We have a shortage of women. But from what I've seen, read, or heard, the females seem to be the die hard fans. Wasn't there a joke somwhere, saying the perfect gift for your girlfriend was Abe's Oddysee? Which would keep her quiet, while the guy rested? :p Alcar... |
Boys... sorry... males tend to have the apptitude to sit for hours and hours and hours in front of a computer... girls do not! There's more important s**t like... shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing our hair, chatting to our (real) mates on the phone... blah de blah de blah... we like to fit in what I like to call "a life" between playing OW!
Besides... this place is too much of a "boys club" (testosterone, trampled feelings and dicks) for "real" girly girls to feel comfortable here. You're better off without girly girls anyway... *YUCK!* |
:
Yes, because only girls have to do these things. We boys never buy anything, eat, wash our hair, or talk to real people. :| |
:
Seriously though... how else do you explain the lack of female talent round here? |
i can sit infront of a computer for ages i love chatting to all my mates like ferill and hobo but i still go out
|
If you say that here is uncomfortable, why not make this forum pink! Girls like pink :p
|
lol no thanks pink isnt my colour but dark blue is cool not all females are all as how you put it into pink and lipstick
|
:
I was simply being controversial!!! Trying to stir up things a bit! Mac the J and I tend to grapple now and again! So do you know Ferill and Hobo from real life then or are we talking "cyber mates" here?... In fact answer that via PM Kell... I'm straying off topic here and will be killed... Hey! Maybe thats why you don't get a lot of females in here! We can't stray off and hold duel conversations like we tend to do in real life!!! |
The forum should be black.
|
lol m8, yes we should have more females on the forum, but who wants more females to replace VanillahKillah, RedMuse, clairebear and AbeBabe ?????
we would miss VanillahKillah warm welcome on to the forum :D and Redmuse input on topics and Muse(of course) and clairebear's mature commens and adivce and i am sorry for this adebabe but i haven't seen you since i joined the forum please forgive me :fuzwink: |
Since the women are more die-hard OW fans, does that mean they know more about OW4 than us on the forums? I think not. So what would you consider a hard-core fan anyway?
-oddguy |
Heh :D
I always knew that I'm irreplaceable (OoooH! Long word... :p)! :| Ho! |
well i cant believe i registered sense apr 2003 makes me feel special lol
i just didnt post... -.-so how many females are there |
It says further up somewhere on this page all the active posting females.
I stick with my suggestion for a black forum though nobody commented at all apart from Di$array Black suits so much. |
yea it would but not all black cause it would be really dull and boring , but i think its fine as it is
|
Grey? You like grey? Isn't grey for more dull than black?
Ah....once Sammy joins we'll have one more girl, so you guys can get your couth back together and welcome her. Strange she hasn't joined yet, busy I guess. |
Back in the days before the huge OWF split (which we won't go into - It's behind us now), maybe there were more guys then girls.
But compared to these days, the ratio of girls vs guys on OWF were much higher back then, compared to now-a-days. . . I might be wrong, though. I just remember there being loads of more girls around. - DH |
:
Cheers mate! But less of the mature please!... some of us are slightly age conscience! :fuzwink: And concerning the forum colours... I use honeybee and the shitty brown tones are really starting to grow on me!!!!!! I think black would be a little hard on the eyes and the shadowy graphics on OW wouldn't really show up to their best... but I like black... I'm dressed head to toe in it at the moment and every day! |
Yeah, the ratio is forever changing. But an interesting fact, is that the number of female forum members seemed to decrease as the number of male forum members increased when Munch's Oddysee was released. I guess this could fit quite nicely with my belief that females are better equipped with handling emotions. Munch's Oddysee mustn't have been very emotionally nourishing as the previous two.
I think it's wonderful that we have a female and a male administering the forums. I like to think it keeps things balanced. And there I go rambling on about my opinions and beliefs again :p Alcar... |
:
Ramble away old thing! Its fine by me! |
I'm a woman... yes yes, i know my profile doesn't says so, but i don't like to put too many personal information about me on the net.....
If i could, i would stay online aaaaall day long. But my parents doesn't like that. And the forums really need a new style.... I was thinking about something with more lighter colours, and not just brown. We only have brown styles. As for the girls being hardcore-fans.... Well, maybe it's not so much about how much you know about oddworld... Maybe there are more girl-fans than boy-fans... I think that a true fan is a person who really likes the game, and enjoys playing it even after you have completed it.... I've completed the games like 5-7 times. i can't remember it. Maybe there are only few girls at the forums, but in real life, it's totally different....... |
I'm a guy and I'm not what you'd call a hardcore Oddworld fan. Sure, I'm interested in the game and I've played and completed them all, but I'm not addict. I don't follow the upcoming game nearly as rabidly as other people, including most female fans. I get facts mixed up and things like that. I've got a fairly decent grip on things, but not even close to people like Abebabe. Color me crazy, but I think I've enjoyed these forums just as much if not more than Oddworld games. On the backround note, I think its pretty good. I'm into earth tones and stuff and the color scheme is mellow and jives with the Oddworld philosophy. Anything florescent would drive me insane.

Where's that puke smilie when you need it! (I am joking BTW... my humour.. thats very sweet! Ahhh..bless!) |
Hmmm well I must be quite the forgettable forumer then. Luckily the same is not true about me in real life so I'll not give it a further bit of thought.
I am a girly girl, I do plenty of real life girly things like wear dresses and heels and the colour pink is growing on me ;) But I still love these forums. I guess I just tend to read more than post. So perhaps there are alot of women guests who just view the threads, but perhaps haven't gotten around to registering, or maybe they are intimidated by joining and just jumping right in. The female fans are out there though! |
