Boys, play with video games
Why is this? Why don't more girls play video games? Don't have it mistaken, I am the furthest thing from a "gamer." The last game I played was guitar hero on PS2 (which I must say I freakin rocked at.) Anyways why are boys attracted to video games more than girls? I don't ever remember thinking that I would want to play a video game. I was constantly around boys growing up. 5 of them to be exact, and one of them is the boy I talked about in class that played so many video games he thought he could join the Army. So I was always around boys and video games, so why was I more interested in dancing around the room while they all we're lost in the game? Are these kinds of things naturally more appealing to boys; Violence, war, chaos and problem solving?
I know a lot of girls are going to think I am crazy for saying something so stereotypical. But boys are better problem solvers than girls. Is it because they are smarter? No. Boys have a natural instinct to not give up though. The very few times I would try and play a video game, I quickly became bored when I couldn't figure out how to move to the next level. I watched those boys work on one level for hours, they were relentless. They loved the chaos and the urgency to make it to the next level, while I was frantic when they were all yelling at me to find the silver door.
Don't get me wrong there are girls that are probably more competitive than a lot of guys. But over all guys are more competitive and like to solve problems, which I why I believe boys like video games more than girls.
