Obligatory footnote: EvoPsych is mostly bunk, deeply intertwined with eugenics and riddled with homophobia, sexism and rape apologia.
Traditionally, yes, but I do want to note that modern takes use it to also argue for cooperation, since working with with others is good for survival and passing on genes. They also are the first to tell people how bunk the alpha male crap is, and the fact a lone wolf is a dead wolf.

I have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.
Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn't care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.

This is probably seen through rose tinted glasses, but Halo 3 had the best multi-player experience I think. It has community created maps, game modes, and an a way for anybody with a account to share what they made. From pictures to custom forge maps. I have nothing but fond memories of the experience.
This is definitely an objective opinion based on facts and universal experiences: the best multiplayer experience was Halo 1, when we ran ethernet cables between our dorm rooms. I'd wake up to someone slamming on my door telling me to turn my Xbox on, and I'd jump right into a death match.

I never understood this mentality, myself.
Gamers: "I never get laid...
"Also Gamers: "Women are just kitchen accessories."

Same way you're "submissive" to your boss

Man. I miss when gungame was filled with people and all the fun addons. Warcraft 3 mods, vote for knife fight, “gotcha bitch” with every knife kill.
I want to go back.

My life went down in Containment doing 1v1 splitscreem pvp with my friend.
I will never let anyone say Halo 2 was worse than any other entry.
It's either Reach, CE or 2 (in the chronological order). -

Halo 3 released on better hardware, so they included huge multiplayer maps like Sandtrap, but they hadn't yet realised that huge maps require faster traversal. As a result, your Spartan moves around like a sack of wet potatoes.
Halo 2 has the best slow multiplayer because of the tighter maps, and Halo 5 has the best fast multiplayer because of the traversal tools.

Counter Strike was way better when this was the vibe. I am so tired of competitive this and gun case that. I've never been interested in 5v5 scrimming in any serious way, but that's all CS2 wants me to do.
I want gun game, I want wc3, I want ZM. I want quirky custom maps (glass!) and quake sounds and !bet ct all. I want to fuck around with new friends on a server for an evening, not to sweat my balls off throwing practiced smokes on dust2.

I’m right there with you. I haaaaaate the direction of modern gaming.

I can buy a new toaster from the shop, why can't I buy a woman too? Does this mean Gamers are pro sex-work? Or pro indentured servitude for women more likely..

Damn. There's 8760 hours in a year btw. That's impressive.

EvoPsych?

Playing online since dialup/Internet cafe days, can confirm.
Also it’s just more fun to get along. -
