I can understand the frustration on playing along the side of other girl gamers (as I'm a girl gamer also), and on a level I can relate to the original poster. I think it's annoying on ANY level to see someone with the username "sexy4u" (male or female), and I think it's even more disgusting when girls put themselves out there sexually on any gaming consol for attention while most decent girl gamers have to deal with the lame "oh, you're fat aren't you?" and "go get a boyfriend, slob" only because I don't have "$3XI" as my clan tag.
However, I'm not going to get annoyed or angry on the fact that someone doesn't know what the best headset is (which really does depend on ratio of price, sensitivity, size, and may even go as far as aesthetics), "best" is pretty much an opinion... and beings that technology outdates itself pretty much every 15 seconds, I wouldn't be too bothered on what the best headset is when in another month something else is going to replace it.. so I don't get annoyed by that.
Here's the thing, I'm secured in myself as a female gamer to where I don't care if another girl gamer doesn't know how to do something, or what something is... I don't mind, I do mind when someone get overly sexual online, overly obnoxious, or pretends to "pwn", which is why there is also a mute button, something most gamers forget about. The point of the game is to enjoy, or even make money if you're decent at it... why get annoyed at something something to pety?
If a girl gets involved in games in order to impress a boy at school, good for her, that's not ruining my KD and it's not coming out of my wallet, so why should I care?
