Women who look "good," i.e.: are sexually attractive, are more likely to be able to have and nurture healthy children.
HA! Really? healthy nurtured children come from women men deem physically attractive bull pocky! The best looking to men would be prostitutes more times than not.
Yes well the woman do seem to chose to do whatever stupid pitiful thing it takes to make a guy think she is "beautiful"! From stupid high heel shoes to ridiculous fake eyelashes and a ton of crap.

I guess I have really learned to tune it out. I think it bugs my man more than it bugs me. Though I have seen some guys, knowing that we are a couple who plays together, go out of their way to make comments just to irritate him. Fortunately for him, he rarely reads game chat and misses a lot of it.

Ironic when I look at your avatar, what "message" or reflection are you trying to give out with the make up, eyelashes etc..?
"the best looking to men would be prostitutes more times then not" ?
That is a very unclassy thing to say.. Stereotyping is not cool, and the reason people try to portray an image rather be themselves naturally. I prefer no makeup, hair down.. As a man, the best look for a woman, is the "just woke up".
I really dont understand your reply.. Maybe I missed something? I apologize if so, but stereotyping the counter-part always bothers me..
As for the topic on hand - wouldnt it be great if peoples avatars were pictures of themselves? Judgement and stereotyping prevent people from opening up and doing such things. It makes people behave or portray something they actually are not, so others will accept them.
Its simple psychology...

I think it's more the other way around. I'm female, I'm proud of my sexuality and my sensuality, I'm a gamer, I'm a strong woman... my avatar reflects ME, I don't reflect my avatar. If I ran around naked in a game, it wouldn't ever make me think that women asks to be raped or mistreated because of how she dresses. However there are a lot of very insecure, uneducated women out there, they would be so whether they played video games or not.

OK, I'm going to say that as a gamer myself, this reeks of bovine excrement. No video game theme and no video game character ever has, or ever will, alter my beliefs on the spot like this study supposedly shows. I am not that pliable as a human being. I'm also smart enough to fully understand & damn well know that a video game is a created environment for entertainment, not reality, and not an accurate reflection of reality. I know that there are people who get sucked into those game worlds and become obsessive and/or try to have life mirror that world, but I'm looking at this from the general player standpoint, not that extreme far-end of the spectrum.
