Ultimate Guide to Meet Gamer Girls on Xbox Live (Reloaded)

Along the years -- especially in our current era -- women have managed to be respected and listened in practically every subject; nowadays, it has become pretty common to see them participating in different social, political, and sports events.

What about videogames? Our hobby has only three decades of being an entertainment mainly meant for men, and it’s not a long time if -- for example -- we compare it with the centuries that had to elapse before women were allowed to sign into a sportive competition.

Nowadays, videogames offer a fair competition ground that gives no physical advantage to anyone: constitution, height, weight, and -- of course -- gender; having said that, we could think that women shouldn’t have any problem sharing this hobby with us - men. But, are we really helping them along the way?

Coming up next, I’ll introduce you a disturbing list of seven steps by someone, who (just like many others) thinks that he has managed to develop the perfect way to get gamer girls into his friend list.

Just reading this guide takes you one step closer to get this achievement.

Greetings, my good Xbox Live pal, you can call me Mike, and you have surely heard that rumor about gamer girls playing your favorite games online.

You know, there are those who swear that they have heard a gamer girl over their headset, those who are certain that they have played a complete match with one, while there are others who claim that gamer girls gather in secret groups and play just among themselves.

But, do you know someone who claims that he has a gamer girl among his contacts? Or someone who plays with one on a regular basis?

No, is it? That’s why I’m going to give you a guide of seven steps which holds the secret to get that Xbox Live’s secret achievement: Include a gamer girl into your friend list. So, stop posting on forums that you want to meet gamer girls to play with, those are the places that only losers look into.

I’ll teach you to hunt them in their natural habitat, welcome to nature my friend, welcome to the jungle of Xbox Live.

1 – Invite her… Now!

First step is -- obviously -- finding those gamer girls mixed among so many male gamers that you will face playing your favorite multiplayer game. It’s not easy - I tell you - but they are there waiting for you - yes my dear friend - they are waiting for you to send them a friend request on Xbox Live.

Luckily, you are a man, and your hunting instincts must be in place no matter all those centuries of civilization; that’s why you have to pay attention even to the slightest details. Obviously, girls love to use pink patterns for their characters, and those hearth-shaped and cute mascots are meant for them.

Oh yeah, of course that there are details that reveal a gamer girl more than the appearance of her online character, and if you have enough time during an online match, you can browse through the profile of that who you suspect is a girl in order to reveal a feminine avatar. Another detail that reveals the fact that you are playing with a gamer girl are their Gamertags, they commonly use cute nicknames like… Miss… or Kitty… well, you know the drill.

Can you identify which Spartan is a girl? I’ll be back in five minutes and you’d better have an answer.

And when you are convinced that she is a she, send her a friend request… and do it now!

Because, if you don’t someone else will. It’s just like picking a girl in a bar to ask her out; which is something I’ve never done, but must be the same thing… Anyway, it is way better to have gamer girls on your friend list that you can play and flirt with at the same time… Heaven must be like that.

2 – Make sure it is a woman.

Maybe this should be step #1 on this guide but, as I said earlier, once you have a girl (or girl suspect) on your sight - you have to shoot. There are many other players who are lower than you -- my dear friend -- and they might send their friend list invitation before you do -- in this hunting game, the one who shoots first, gets the prize.

This is the part when I have to warn you that, some assumptions (detailed in the first step) might lead you into a mistake that you could regret because, no matter if science and reason say otherwise, THERE ARE some men who are willing to dress their characters in pink attires (and/or purple) and even pick the girliest icon they find among so many options.

You can also be fooled to think that you are playing with a girl if you only consider the tone of their voice, because it is easy to mistake the squeaky voice of a kid with the feminine voice of that sexy chick behind a joystick that is actually dying to meet you.

In cases like this, you could ask him or her if she is a woman. Did somebody else ask her already? Practically everyone is asking? It doesn’t matter, you should ask too… They just love attention.

I have to repeat you that one of the easiest ways to differentiate a guy from a girl is through their avatar. Unluckily, it is an annoyance to go through every menu in order to see someone’s avatar (worse… everyone’s avatar), and since you can’t pause an online match, you are obliged to use all the time you have on your disposal. But, since you’re a pro gamer who expects to captivate a chick with a great show of skill, you won’t have time to dig into people’s Gamertags. That’s why my advice remains the same: Invite that pink soldier with a girly name.

And what to do if you accidentally invite a guy in pink armor? It’s simple: run like hell, erase him from your friend list, and don’t mention your screw up to anyone… And that goes for you L0V3 Y0U MO5T, I admit that we had a lot of fun a couple of weeks ago, but no! I don’t want to be your friend! My reputation is at stake! Remember? So, Back off!

3 – You have been added.

You check your friend list and realize that you have unlocked your dreamed gamer girl specimen within your contacts… Congratulations! You have conquered your first achievement as an Xbox Live Casanova, but this is just the beginning.

She surely accepted you because she felt aroused by the huge show of skill you brought into the match in that game where you two met. This is the time when you have to provide her the comfort and the benefits of having you at her disposal. For example:

Invite her as soon as she connects to Xbox Live. It doesn’t matter if she isn’t playing the same game as you, and it is useless for her to resist, you know that she wants to repeat that same great experience of the other day.

Offer your help with her achievements. Since she is a woman, it is quite certain that her Gamerscore is tiny compared to yours -- it is well known that it is almost impossible for a fragile and delicate girl to get the hardest achievements… This is where you - my friend - will make the difference. This is the part when you must put your strong, man’s man, and testosterone-fuelled avatar to work.

At this point, this is the way that she looks up on you.

Meanwhile, it is important to gather all the information about her, so -- don’t forget to ask her name, age, location, etc. Besides, what’s the point of a date if there’s no conversation? (You are not mistaken, a game date… is a date after all), it doesn’t matter if she is under heavy fire, if she is tasked in eliminating someone from the opposition, or if she is focused on not missing a single note on Guitar Hero; real thing is, there’s nothing more important for her than answering your questions.

And basically, that's all it takes to get a gamer girl into your friend list. Repeat this three simple steps until you have gathered all the gamer chicks you are capable of handling at the same time. If you are like me, you can handle up to fifteen… Go and make me proud.

The next steps don’t have anything to do about how to get gamer girls into your friend list, but advises about what you have to do in some complicated situations that tend to happen once you have managed to bring a gamer girl into the light.
