One is a Roleplayer, one is a Powergamer and the third, my wife, is somewhere in-between.2. Historically I would say that  the females have made up 15-20%3. It depends upon the player.  Gender seems to be less important that players personality.4. same as #45. same as #4 - see answer #1 as well.6. Wow watch out for the landmines on this one!  Again, it depends.  In my group the females are all relatively new players, but so are two of the men - they are about equally "ignorant" of the rules.  7. Once again, it depends upon the female.  Some are great, some are just in it to spend time with their S.O.8. Marketing, social perception and the fact that most people start roleplaying in their teens.  I believe at that age boys can easily find "geek groups", but girls are less open about it.9. Couldn't really say, I haven't tried them.10. None I know of, but I am not into that many systems anymore.11. Yes, but I know male players the exact same way.12. Never played in an all female group.  In recent times the all male group I have is little different from my mixed gender group.  Years ago the all male groups were different, but I think that was more a factor of age and maturity.13. Some yes, some no.  In my group two of the women introduced their boyfriend/husband to the game.14. I have not witnessed boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife realtionship break up in a group.  I have hadmale players whom we have broken off group relations with because they were jerks.15. Have never seen this happen, so no.16. Nope, a group with all men, plus my wife had all kids of problems, but it had nothing to do with the fact that my wife was there.17. Way too much generalization.  Again, I have played with all kinds of female players, the same spectrum of playing styles and attitudes as men.  I believe the female gamer stereotypes are as equally valid as the male ones.  Not all male gamers are smelly, with greasy hair, poor social skills and can only talk about comic books and games.</blockquote>
