Okay a few points to address here... Firstly, we generally don't like getting friend requests and messages from men because for every one genuinely nice message we get there are 100 creepy/pervy messages with it. Secondly, men aren't just thirsty online. It's everywhere. Dealing with creepy men is our daily lives. Men on a societal level think they're entitled to female attention and we are constantly victim to objectification and sexualization by men. (I know some -blam!-boy's gonna be like "NOT ALL MEN" so I'll go ahead and point out that "men on a societal level" =/= every single man ever) Thirdly, if you really want to change the atmosphere with female gamers, stop making it about gender. Don't act any differently around us than you would another man. We're here for the same reason you are; to play a game we enjoy and have fun. We don't treat you any differently because you're men, and we don't creep on you and send you gross messages, so don't do it to us.
