I'm betting that most of the people here who mention the goth crowd of female gamers found those same gamers in and around, World of Darkness games or LARP's. Especially about 5-6 years ago, Vampire, Changeling, Mage, heck even Werewolf and especially LARP's attractive female goth's. The Goth's are the only female gamers I have ever considered to have clearly filled a stereotypical role. Young, usually attractive but dyed and painted black (no offense). From among the other women I have gamed with (non-Goths), there are no easy stereotypes. I have gamed with maybe 20-30 non-Goth females over the years. More then anything else they have a tendency towards being unique individuals, which always earns someone a certain measure of respect in my book. If forced though, I would break them down into two categories. Single and Not-Single...Single - Young, attractive, intelligent, artistic, conscientious and expressive. They have a tendency to be much more easily offended than female gamers who are not single. More often than not they like the attention they receive as a female gamer, as long as no one lays it on too thick.Not-Single - A bit older and more mature, attractive but seldom athletic (more Rubenesque), intelligent, artistic and eclectic. They rarely conform to the beliefs shared by most of society, which is often represented in their choice of religion and relationships (more often pagan, polyamorous, bisexual, etc). Have grown tired of the attention they receive as a female gamer from all except their closer friends and have little patience for younger male sycophants, but at the same time are not at all easily offended and can be very tolerant of idiots. [Insert disclaimer here]This is by no means intended to be offensive or all encompassing. This is just what I "believe" to have noticed as trends among the female gamers I have known. Still, from my experience, I think it's fairly accurate.YMMVCedric</blockquote>
