Guys are the general target audience of video game companies, and often girls find this sexist, so the theory that more girls would play games if they were aimed towards them more often comes up.
I remember one girl complaining because her little brother wouldn't let her play Game Boy, saying it's for boys only, which is why it's called Game Boy. I believe I read that in Nintendo Power years ago. (Back when I actually subscribed to that piece of crap.)

What does that have to do with what kinds of games girls like?
And of the girls that do play games I am sure that the numbers that like action games are in the minority.
Right, and you know this based off of all the girl gamers that you know.
More based on what I hear on the net really...
And we
all know how reliable video game dorks on message boards are.
"Man, Halo kicks
ass! Dude, chicks don't like Halo! They like Tetris and shit."
Uh, do you seriously think that female gamers like action games just as much as male ones, or are you just being annoying?
Well there's no way to get an exact number, but I've yet to meet a gamer girl who doesn't like action games.
Such an accurate way to judge it! :D
Oh but your "ask a bunch of message board people" method is
so much better.
I wasn't just talking about message board people!
I have yet to meet a girl gamer in real life. I think that's why I don't commit to girls for too long. I want a girl who will do all the things past girlfriends have done and then settle down for a nice game of Double Dash. :)
Late last year I convinced my friend Natalie to buy a Gamecube. She likes sports and action games mostly. All of my other female friends pretty much like the same genres I do.

Then who else? You told me your life is pretty much just online...
I meant like articles from websites and stuff.

So how did she like it? You never told us... :)
I never ended up getting her the game, actually. I was short on time and money. She did like the "Teen Girl Squad" shirt I got her, though. I got something else for her, too, but I forget what it was.
It is YOU who is the ball-licker.
