I don't know if that is the case.
The girls that I have been around, sincerely like video games.
This is to the point of being very addictive.
I wish that I could suggest something more for them, but I can't pull them off of these games.

I think it has something to do with most girls wanting attention so they think they have to like certain things and find other hobbies uninteresting to get or keep attention from guys. They conform to a certain image that will make them "perfect" or better or interesting, whatever.girls arent as interested because they think its a waste of time, or because they didnt bet into them when they were youngervideo games are generally marketed towards the guys. I'm a girl and I love video games, more than a lot of my guy friends.

Girls are more social, while boys are rougher.
Have you seen any video games concerning tea parties?
Most video games are combat, cars, and loads of violence.
This could be a reason.
There have been a lot of girls playing with the DS.
I've seen it.
It's just the blood and the gore.
I'm a boy in eighth, and I only like Nintendo stuff (I know what all the other middle schoolers reading this are thinking).
Personally, I don't like games where I play as a break-out from a mental institution.
It's just the differences in though from one gender to another, and the video game content.
Well, those are linked.
Though, speaking of violence, girls haven't really been...cough...that peaceful.
Additional Info: I wouldn't really say all games are violent or mindless.
There are many other things females do that are just as mindless as what males do.
For instance, males don't really spend several hours to get a pair of shoes, but we've all got our pros and cons.
And take a look at Nintendo's games, a very small amount of games are violent.
There's Sonic and Mario at the Olympic games, Warioware Smooth Moves, Excite Truck, Guitar Hero, Mercury...

The thing is this, when one is growing up, the parents perfer let the boys play games, and the industry has been doing that, the only games for girls are like barbie's type of games. Women sees video games fusturating and boys sees it like chalenging. Society think video games are not meant for girls, and when a little girl is interesting in video games the mom always get in saying young ladies shouldn't be playing with boys' toys. That is what i think. I love video games though LOL LOVE THEM lol eventhough i am a female

But it does tend to get sexist when you start saying things like girls only like tea parties and makeup. When video games are played alone, it can lead to isolation and social withdrawal. Girls at common gamer ages (7-25), just tend to be more socially developed than guys. I also think it's a money issue, while guys may not realize just how much it costs to house an addicted gamer, girls, who are more sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others at those ages and know a bit more about money, realize that game systems cost a lot of money, often more than they think it's worth. And wouldn't it be sexist if someone said guys only like violence and sports?!?

(the sims, guitar hero, ect.) i heard someone say that there are game makers up every night trying to come up with a game that will really entice girls..
