When you dedicate many hours to a hobby, you make an effort, you are persevering, you become an expert in that field. Those who frequent the world of video games, the so-called gamers (players), which exist all over the world, play until they become experts in games on the console, computer, etc.

However, although it sounds somewhat absurd, due to the time we are in, gaming is supposed to be more of a hobby, rather of men, and when we talk about a female gamer some are surprised because they have any doubts about the type of personality they have and how they are. Are you one of the female gamers?

Below you will find some myths and truths about female gamers.

Myth: Women who play always win by "luck" or because they press all the buttons. This does not mean being a gamer, anyone can do that in a desperate attempt to win.

It depends on the type of gamer the woman is. This statement can be a myth or truth. Women can only play games on mobile or Facebook. Nowadays, although it is difficult for old-school gamers to get used to it, some players only dedicate themselves to games on social networks or smartphones.

Myth: Gamer girls only play to get attention. Girls who like to play do it because it's fun.

Truth: a gamer girl will still be a gamer, even if the years go by and she will stop being a child.

The years go by and many things change in life, but video games remain a faithful companion that helps fight boredom.

Myth: Not all female gamers are very graceful and wear glasses.

If true, we could say the same for male gamers (in any case, the goal makes a little more sense if you spend many hours in front of a TV or a computer, because sooner or later you will need them).

Myth: All players cultivate a sexualized image to attract men.

Seriously, who thinks chewing on a joystick cable and shooting with it is more fun than blowing the head off a few zombies?

Truth: the world of players is masculine, and female gamers are looked at strangely.

When you buy a video game or accessory, the seller will assume that they need to explain to you in detail what it is about. In addition, he will think that what you are going to buy is for your brother.

Myth: Women who play only choose "girls" games.

As far as we know, even the most "girly" games in the world are not considered "for girls only", so there are no games only for men or women.

Truth: If a female gamer lends you the best joystick, it's because she loves you too much.

Myth: Women who play and love, do it to please him. There is much more history in a woman's life than in her boyfriend's and many women start playing as teenagers or before meeting their partner.

Truth: a gamer girl loves to win, no matter who she has to beat. We all like to win and be proud of the win.

Truth: A gamer girl gets bored when she sees her boyfriend play. No matter how much she loves him, the idea is to hit her in the back in a fight.

Myth: Female gamers only play to prove that they can do things for men.

Being a gamer does not mean proving to anyone that you are better, it is a game that you like, and it is enough to play it.

Truth: The technique of playing a female gamer is "girl".

If she is a woman and plays "like a girl" it means that she plays as she is with the characteristics of a girl (with passion, patience, desire, and perseverance).

Truth: some people don't even know how to play video games and call themselves "gamers".

Keep in mind that it also happens to men, but in this case, they are not gamblers, they are obsessed people.
