2-11-2004 Women Over 40 Biggest Online Gamers -Study

Think teenagers are spending all night long playing online games on the computer? Wrong -- it's their mothers burning the midnight oil.

Fueling the arguments of those who say that gaming takes away from other activities, 44 percent of the women over 40 who responded to the survey, conducted by Digital Marketing Services, said they spend less time watching TV or movies, reading or being physically active because of their game play.

Atlanta and Boston were the most game-happy cities overall, at about 8 hours per capita per week, the survey said.

in the poll tended to favor word and puzzle games.

That's not gaming. It's just computerized forms of the same things they've worked on in newspapers for years.

 

[Ferocious]

yeah I bet they're the biggest.

Too much fast food.

They need to get off the computers and get back into the kitchen or down to the aerobics classes.

These "online games" these women play are not the typically games adult males and young males play. They are card games, or board games, or crap like that.

I've played some of those with my wife and brother and his wife, it's pretty fun.

Yah, this is all Yahoo hearts and Scrabble. Definitely not "online gamers" in the sense most think.

OTOH, nice place to surf for MILF's?
