Women spend more time on playing online games than men
Washington: Women spend 29 hours a week in the virtual world compared to 25 hours for males. A new study has shown that the women play online games more intensely than men do. They are less likely to quit and they are happier while playing. Dmitri Williams, Assistant Professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, found that while 80 percent of players were male, female players spent more time on online games. The study showed that the top 10 percent of female players averaged nearly 57 hours per week, eight more than male players. Contrary to another stereotype - that of the teenage game player - the average age of the 7,000 players surveyed was 31, reports DNA. "We found that older players were more typical," said Williams.
