Female players

[Wildt4lon]

I'm female. I don't see why there would be less females on outwitters. There's nothing particularly gender-based about the game.

I'd be interested in knowing the % of female playing this game too!

I'd say around 1/3 of the screennames I see in random matchups include female sounding GC names like "sara1234" or something. That's not factoring in the percentage of neutral names that could be either, or the ones who have girly names despite being boys though :/

I'm a girl too.

I play a lot of different games, and many of them have very obnoxious and abrasive communities. This game though, for an unknown reason, tends to attract more mature people, so people are less scared (for lack of better words) to be themselves.

for a second i thought you meant "mature" in terms of more senior, aged, etc and I thought to myself.. I am not that mature yet

Obviously the game does not discriminate against females, but there is still a large gap between the number of males against the number of female players. There's nothing wrong with that; in fact it is quite expected.

It is much like in chess, where some people say females should be on equal footing against the males since it is not a physical game, rather a thinking/mental one; however, evidence suggests that the males still dominate the game, perhaps because of different thinking processes.

I think it's the competitiveness nature that's rooted in male species lol

I've always gotten the impression we have an larger than average female population playing Outwitters compared to our previous games. I've got no official statistics or anything, just that I tend to correspond with a lot more females via our social media and support channels for the game vs Tilt to Live.
