Feminum

The games you like will depend on whether you are a man or a woman.  This has only become apparent recently with the popularization of online games and video games in general.

While you might find many men that like playing solitaire, this type of mind and skill game has proven to be overwhelmingly a female type of game.

The opposite is just as true. Games like Half Life, Doom or Quake have traditionally been male games, where as women tend to stay away from them.  Some games are overwhelmingly male dominated.

Thinking and cooperating are the trademarks of women oriented game play, while men tend to compete and play to win. Women’s love for the puzzle category is a clear example of this.

The puzzle category includes many more games than just jigsaw puzzles. The puzzle category include match three games, games of spatial proficiency such as tetris and pattern recognition games..

Among the games you might recognize are Zuma, BookWorm, Supergems, Dingo and others.

How does playing alone stand against playing in groups? Apparently it doesn’t matter whether male or female, everyone likes to play in groups. One person shooters are the type of game a man would play, women on the other hand like community games such as online bingo..

The difference between the sexes is plainly visible in games such as Online bingo.  Although women may engage in competition community games such as Gamevillage bingo, their focus is usually fun and not profit and defeating a competitor is most definetly never the purpose.

Women are never losers in online bingo since they all strive to win but not to defeat each other, as opposed to the mechanics of poker which is about defeating other men.

Another difference is the amount spent in games of chance such as bingo games as opposed to harder gambling practiced by men. Women are not likely to risk more money per night than they would usually spend at the movies. Whereas men will play to win and risk more than they should in a game in order to be the winner.

Men will insist that the games women play are the ones they play with men in real life, but the truth is that women play for fun, community and mental skill and men are harder competitors out to defeat others.
