Video Games

Girls are generally not interested in video games for many reasons, that can and can not be explained. As a girl myself, I remember growing up playing with barbie dolls while my brothers raced with Hot Wheels. The explanation to this leads to many different psychological theories, that would correlate with why females are not generally interested in video games.

In my opinion, the shape of society creates all that we are today, as human beings. Our surroundings characterize us and cause us to react toward a variety of things differently. The younger generation is extremely influential by their surroundings. Due to this, anything and everything that can be seen or heard by them will more than likely have a huge impact on them, and the way that they grow to act.

Females and males both have "standards" to meet, if not by society, than by their family and friends. To meet these standards, both sexes tend to act in a way in which that is expected of them. This, in my opinion, subconsciously trains the mind to have the same interests as others of their own kind. As most females do tend to have the same "motherly" nature in them, females are also known to enjoy getting their hair done, or gossip more than males do. These traits are brought on by each other, which in turn uniforms and brings out how a majority of females feel about certain things, and whether or not it is appealing to their nature.

A majority of females do not like video games because in younger years, we were so strongly influenced by the older females around us, that we grew up with similar likes and dislikes that were brought on by the older, female generation. I do believe that due to society, the feminine gender role reacts toward certain things in similar ways, thus causing a majority of girls and women to become uninterested in video games.
