Why don't girls play melee?

[astatine]

Why is it all boys who play?

 

[Zone]

There are a few girl players

 

[rhan]

My girlfriend plays Pikachu.

She's trying to be as good as Axe.





I'm kinda jealous.

 

[astatine]

Okay, well they are mostly boys. Van is the only girl player i know of

 

[t3h Icy]

Why don't boys all go shopping together?

 

[rhan]

Pshhh I go to JC Penny with my home boys all the time.

 

[The Star King]

Moronic society expectations.

Girls do play melee but since there aren't that many girl players to begin with we don't really see them that often. I see like one or two girl's at each smash tournament I go to though.

 

[Cheebs]

They'll play when we get manicures, that's what they told me anyways.

I'd take this deal.

 

[Mooo]

I introduced a couple girls to Melee, they all play Pikachu or Kirby and don't know how to recover.

This, once you consider that the girls who do play video games are divided (unequally granted) among certain series, you get an even smaller number.

Melee takes a lot of time to get into. It's a legit hobby that requires a lot of dedication to get good at. Most girls don't really have many "hobbies", from what I've seen. They'd just rather do other things.

Yep, girls just wanna have fun.

 

[hubble]

we have 2 chicks in upstate that play

and lmao, ditto on the "girls dont have hobbies" thing

 

[Dark Hart]

I know NC has 1 Girl Melee player, and 2 Girl Brawlers

 

[SpaceFalcon]

Probably cause every melee tournament valdiates the stereotype that nerds smell.

 

[Strong Badam]

Brawlers aren't people.

 

[Pengie]

You can't have Melee set ups in the kitchen.

 

[rhan]

Brawlers aren't people.

You can't have Melee set ups in the kitchen.

Lmaoooo I'm lovin this thread so much. <3

 

[Strong Badam]

Personally I can't wait until someone comes in and goes "LOL BUT YOU CAN HAVE MELEE SETUPS IN THE KITCHEN," entirely missing the point of the joke and the afterward.

Dude, it's true. Girls don't have hobbies. If there ever IS a girl that has a hobby, it's because they were raised in a unique/different environment than the average girl.

Traits you'll see in every girl: avid shopper, socialite, casual music critic/listener, media consumer. That's about it. It's hard enough to find girls that enjoy playing video games casually, let alone competitively.

It's all about the way girls have developed and grown up.

 

[t3h Icy]

Nicole is pretty legit and actually gets into international brackets, but she plays Brawl. As far as Melee goes, HaileyM almost beat Lucky at ROM3 and LadyLegion got 4th Seed at Pound 4 (2nd Round Pools).

Like what above posters said, most chicks brought up "traditionally" aren't into games.

Maybe if Melee had more good looking guys, we'd get more to come.

dumb. i'd prefer shallow ***** stayed out of the community. this is a friendly video game community, not a beauty pageant. nobody cares if everyone looks like chu and vidjo.

not like every player is mirror breaker, anyways.

 

[The Star King]

LOL @ girls not having hobbies. Are you guys ****ing kidding me?

Girls generally don't have hobbies. Show me cases where they do.

that is all

Well, taking a look at my family, my sister's hobbies are tennis and photography, and my mother's hobbies are cooking and knitting (yeah typical housewife stuff, don't laugh >_>).

The only reason I can think of for people in this thread saying that is that when guys think of "hobbies", they tend to think of either sports or games. Girls often have hobbies that fall under the "creative" category. This is the only explanation I can think of, because I know gaming nerds are often socially awkward and everything, but I'm pretty sure smashers aren't THIS ignorant of the opposite sex.

 

[DarkDragoon]

Shout-outs to HaileyM, best female Melee player, taking Lucky to Game 3 at RoM3 Pools, almost taking him out of 1st Seed, in the most hype set of the entire weekend.

-DD

-put Zgetto on smash flyers
-put Chu dat on smash flyers
-???
-PROFIT!

Yeah apparently they're some kind of different species that just do random stuff all the time.





I'm pretty sure anything someone does regularly and enjoys is a hobby guys.


Girls really like shopping.


Edit: Twist I don't think there's anyway of saying "no homo" after that post...

 

[The Star King]

Apparently Smashers are stuck in the 1920s, and think girls are content with sitting around and looking pretty in their free time. I guess rhan and I don't understand what girls REALLY enjoy. Silly us.

I don't think of just sports or games. I consider the things you listed as hobbies. It's just that most girls I know don't have serious hobbies, just minor interests. How many girls do you honestly know that play tennis, are very active in photography, cooking, knitting, poetry, or music? I'm an avid poet myself, and I write and make music all the time. I have a multitude of hobbies. I don't see women very active with hobbies very often.

I'm not ignorant of the opposite sex at all. I just really don't
