I'm a female and I don't play because I want to "make sure my guy is not having too much fun". I play because I enjoy games. Wait. Were you being ironic? Anyway, to reply to the post... I would so go in for the application of the incremental rewards systems to the business world. I sure as heck wouldn't be sitting here replying to blog posts in the middle of the morning if there was a structure in place for me to earn XP, level up, or unlock holiday time bonuses. :-P Bobster: Huh?

That describes the male psyche. While males may not “place a high value on relationships” (some of us do) I would say men are risk-takers and almost all men I know think in terms of “winning”. I’m not saying gamers don’t exhibit those characteristics, I’m just saying that males in general exhibit competitiveness and self-assurance.”

Is it any wonder that all gamers are male? Yes I said all. Women who play only do so because they want to make sure their guy is not having too much fun. The sad thing is, too few men will choose the game over the dame!
