This study is a microcosm of something I've always believed: While reality is objective, a person's subjectivity greatly effect their own 'realities'. So, a person expecting crappiness will experience it more often (because they are looking for it and will ignore non-crappiness), even to a subconcious level. And vice-versa.
That being said, it IS difficult to change the way you think and percieve. But if you work at it, you'd be suprised how much happier you end up! :D

Female gamers are cool, but I'd be lying if I said that the are more populous than male gamers, in my experience. One of my best friends is a female gamer (and programmer), but most of my female friends aren't as 'into it' as most of my male friends. And there are exceptions.
What I'm saying here is that these are generalizations. Of course it's not true for 100% of people, and CERTAINLY less probably for females who are into computers. And, of course, not you, female gamer neatorama poster. ;)
As time goes on, it seems more and more women are getting into gaming, which is cool. I think that lends credence to 'nurture' vs nature, as far as liking gamaing. But right now, I'd have to say that is seems more men do, in fact, enjoy gaming than women. Generally.

Humans are greedy. Are you going to tell me *most* women't aren't ?
I think the obvious result of this is (most) "Men are territorial and competitive".
And we like toys. :D

Oh, and I'm suprised no one made a 'leap of faith' joke either. (in addition to jumping the shark)
