Being a gamer is hard. Sometimes you hit an impossible level, or your character dies repeatedly and you feel like throwing your controller across the room. It's even more difficult for a female gamer. We hear nonsense every day that makes us feel unwelcome in the gaming community. If you want to make your favorite female gamer happy, here's twenty-two statements you should probably avoid.


1. You're not allowed to game.

2. Sweetie, did your boyfriend get you into this?

3. I bet you don't even bother to learn combos. You probably just button smash.

4. You game? What do you play, something cute like Cooking Mama?

5. If you really like that game, name five characters.


6. I bet you only game to get the attention of boys.

7. Girl, it is so sexy that you game!

8. I can't believe there's a girl in the online party...let me proceed to verbally harass you via headset.

9. You play like a girl!

10. Don't you want to be an adorable class..like a sorceress?

11. Funny, your gamertag is so masculine.

12. Alright, I'll go easy on you.

13. Please stop wearing gamer merch for attention.

14. Name five facts about your "favorite character".

15. That character's a guy. Stop trying to cosplay as him.


16. Your cosplay is too sexy because of your body.

17. You're just wearing that cosplay for attention.

18. Do you even know what XP stands for?

19. Is your console pink?

20. Is your controller also pink?

21. Why are you in Gamestop? Did you get lost on your way to Sephora?

22. Are you buying this game as a gift?

If you are guilty of saying any of the above, I'd suggest you give a female gamer a call. Maybe you'll learn something. But she will probably just hang up on you.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
