Has anyone else noticed the increase, since I certainly have.

I've known many female gamers. I prefer to play MP games with them, as they are usually more ethical about it. I HATE talking about games with them IRL (usually, not always), as they typically assume they know all about the game, and when given advice they obviously did not know, rather than listening, just say they know it, done.
Still, I haven't noticed any serious increase, just a variance in the type of game played away from the Sims and Civ style games into more violence based games.
**Edit: BTW, I have been known on the rare occasion to ignore advice on a game. Usually, however, if I know the person has experience playing the game, I will at least listen first, as I may just learn something that will make me much better.
