Is it okay for a "girly-girl" to play Skyrim?

So I recently bought Skyrim. While I was in Best Buy, these guys kept looking over at me and snickering. I asked what was wrong and one of them says, "It's weird to see a girl buying a game like that." I asked why, and the same guy says, "'Cause you're all girly."



I personally see no problem with what I wear (make-up, fashionable clothing, etc.) and the games I play; but do other people feel that way?Is it okay for a "girly-girl" to play Skyrim?
It's more than okay. You know... in today's age it's rare for someone not to play video games. And a majority of gamers today are indeed girls. Girl gamers being rare is a thing of the past.



Just take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about it:



25 percent of console players and 39 percent of PC game players are women. Also, 40 percent of online game players are women; however, these numbers also include casual games.[6] According to another study conducted by the Entertainment Software Association in 2010, 40% of the game playing population is female, and women 18 or older now comprise 33% of all gamers.



Also, the percentage of women now playing online has risen to 42%, up several percent since 2004. The same study shows that 46% of game purchasers are female.



As for them snickering, they're just immature idiots. Me and most other guys think it's great for girls to play video games. In fact, we love it. Just another awesome interest to have in common.
Of course there's nothing wrong or weird with that. You're a gamer. You play whatever you want to play and buy whatever game you want to buy with your own money, what right does anyone have to say otherwise? Especially with how widely popular videogames are getting (Especially how widely popular Skyrim is), it should be of no surprise to see a "girly girl" buy a game.



Those guys must be real idiots and out of touch with reality to think that only nerdy neckbeards are accepted as the type of people to buy into Skyrim.Is it okay for a "girly-girl" to play Skyrim?
You play whatever on earth you want to play. Gaming is a multimillion pound industry - and games have moved incredibly quickly into the 21st century - gaming isn't just about penny arcades and Tetris anymore! It's all about escapism, and if that's your platform of choice, gender, clothes, size, weight, colour or any other extraneous factors shouldn't - and don't - matter



Plus, research shows Gamer Girls have way more fun in the real world... ;)
Some guys are just retarded and prejudice, and thinks that girls do not play computer, and every girl-gamer is.... I guess manly?... Well, anyways. Girls should game good games aswell, so nothing is wrong for a girly-girl to play it.Is it okay for a "girly-girl" to play Skyrim?
I absolutely love it when my girlfriend plays video games. We play TF2 together and she watches me play Skyrim all the time.
Congrats on buying skrim, and no worries those guys were prob immature. I mean arn't games supposed to be appealing to both guys and girls? Even if your a "Girly-girl" if skyrim's the kind of game you like by all mean play it.
Not at all. Those guys probably never see any real girls that don't fold out. Makes them feel like real men that you stepped into "their world." The only world were they will ever be "men" I guess.



Ignore those children. There are plenty of feminine girl gamers out there.
Yes, people feel that way. Many people's brains form conceptions early on in life, and after age 10, they can't move on or gain new perspectives or ideas. They continually suffer from what I call "Still-laughing-when-people-speak-Chines鈥?syndrome".
Nothing wrong with it at all, i think it's great that anyone who enjoys gaming and games like Skyrim (male or female) can play them regardless
I think it's awesome when girls play skyrim. Ignore those guys. Also to Jonathan, it's FUS RO DAH not FUS DO RAH.
I see nothing wrong with it ah tall'. I bet you drink Baileys as well don't ya?
You can do or play whatever you want. Its a free world and its your life. If you enjoy it then go and play it! :)
if i were you i woulda shouted FUS DO RAH at the guy and just walked out with the game
Who cares? Why wouldn't it be OK?
