I really like that somebody wrote about this topic — I was going to on my own blog, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Anyways, as a female Magic player and girlfriend to one of the top players in the Bay area of Florida, I would like to mention that a lot of male players have to learn that just because they’re playing an opponent of that just so happens to be of the female persuasion, it does not herald an easy win. I myself put up quite a fight before anybody ever takes me down, so even if they beat me, I still smash their face in before they took my last blip of life. xD I have won my fair share of matches, and all the men at my local comic shops now give me respect as Magic player, which I greatly appreciate.

I’ve got one more thing to say on the matter of other female Magic players. Once upon a time, like three weeks ago, there was another female player at my home base. Turns out she was somebody’s girlfriend. Well, the most perplexing thing was this: every time she would show up, she was nearly topless. That’s how much boob she was showing. O_o She and her boy-toy broke up, and I don’t see her around the shop anymore, but now all the guys are sad because they lost their “eye candy.”

Also, I’ve attended several PTQs and regionals near my area, and although the number of female players are limited at these events, every single one of them had something in common besides the fact that they were playing Magic at that particular event: They all had no qualms at showing ample amounts of cleavage.

So why is that while the sterotype is that male Magic players don’t respect the Females, the Females are also bearing a lot of boob when gaming? Could the boobs be blamed for such occurance of the alledged disrespect?

I can’t help notice that I’m always the only female at those events, even the local tournament scene, who wears a t-shirt and blue jeans at every event. (I’m also the only female that ever makes any of the rankings when it comes to actually winning matches, but that might not have any actual correlation to the skin-to-clothing ratio of my competition….)

So there we have it. Five dollars worth of me putting in two cents. xD The question remains — should I forsake my t-shirts and comfortable jeans for tank tops and unbuttoned blouses just to gain unfair game advantage? Nah. If I’m winning a game, it’s because I played the game, not because I have breasts.

I respect my girlfriend (or else I’d get my ass kicked a lot )

But still, there are some really good female magic players out there. I got my ass kicked by a girl in a Grand Prix in Lisbon… But she played well, I have no qualms about losing. Of course I was the joke of all my friends that were there…

Dont assume that just because she’s a girl you can win easy. My sister wins against me many times, but of course I teached her well hehe
