Identifying as a gamer is your first problem as you'll lump yourself in with all the cringe losers.

If you like video games but don't care for pseudo gambling nonsense that just makes you normal.

You've got to abandon this weird identity bullshit. Your sex is irrelevant for what games you choose to enjoy, as it is for everyone, so joining a sex based group for it is as stupid as joining a "Men's book club" or what not. Women can read too.

We can discuss demographic differences they certainly exist. Reasons for it range from a number of things, cultural attitudes, sex based differences, can argue any of it, but none of it is relevant to you at an individual level.

I've noticed personally that there's a lot of gays who are nintendo fans. That alone in and of itself is fine as it's irrelevant. But some of them are convinced it is relevant and they start specifically gay gaming groups. If it's a pick up spot? A place to meet up and date, I understand it, but in the past they've claimed that the "gay" gaming group is open to everyone. Despite there being zero reason to call your group gay if it's just about games.

The women's groups are similar. Anyone can play a video game, sex is irrelevant, so any group that delineates sex with video games is automatically needlessly exclusionary and stupid. As such, it's bound to be infested with stupid people who care more about sex than games, and the normal game groups are sufficient for normal people who do not feel a need to be special.

Men and women aren't interchangeable; men's only, women's only, and mixed groups all have different dynamics. Also, by avoiding the opposite gender you can avoid any issues that arise from sexual or romantic feelings.

I find it weird you feel video games are more important than sex. Although you gave me a great idea. If I let the wife play the Nintendo Switch during sex I might get laid more.

Well that wouldn't be so if those stupid groups didn't exist in the first place.

Well fuck all of that.

Sex is nothing but pointless primal drives. Video games are really fucking cool.

It's not the existence of single sex groups which drives different behaviours, it's normal human instinct.

People preferring to associate with members of their own sex is common in every culture in the world.

And human instinct is not only stupid but evil

It's an online group. Nobody gives a fuck or knows about your sex unless you make it their business.

Lots of people have met their partners through gaming online, shit happens. And it's not all just women not wanting attention from men, which is the only time hiding your gender would be practical, since everyone assumes gamers are guys anyways. It is possible, although rarer, to receive unwanted attention from women, such as if you're in a relationship or she's awful.
