I used to hate when a woman would join our party, because suddenly all the men would be trying to knock eachother down and act up to impress her, and whatever happy little unity we had would crumble quickly.
No fault of the woman’s, she just wants to play the game like the rest of us, but as soon as I hear a girls voice I groan inside and “oh here we fucking go”
When I’m in a male dominated space and a woman joins, I feel myself over-compensating in trying to be welcoming to the woman. I want to be the “good guy”. I sort of feel like I should make that effort. But also I’d rather just get on with it and not have to think about it.
MMOs mostly, Rappelz I spent the most time in. I noticed it a lot in Destiny raids too though.
I almost never partied up in competitive games. You only get to get a team wanting to stay together after you have a really good game, and thats only ever because the enemy team sucked. As soon as you come up against a team better than the one you built your fairweather friends turn nasty.

It physically hurts to recall starving for the attention of a member of the opposite sex.

Yup, same boat. I want to make sure they feel welcomed to the group but I don’t want to make them feel like an “other”
What game? Most competitive e game guy players iI have encountered are hostile to women players.
