For Males, Video Game Rewards Are All in the Mind
Researchers lend insight into why males feel a greater sense of reward from gaming.

For the study, 22 Stanford undergraduates (half of them men and half women) were recruited to play a video game designed by the study authors. The game purposely dealt with territoriality, as men are known to be more territorial than women, Hoeft said.
Half the space on the screen "belonged" to the player; the other half showed balls coming toward the player's space. Clicking on the balls before they hit the dividing wall resulted in a space gain. But if the balls hit the wall, the player lost space.
Participants were not told that the object of the game was to gain more space but all quickly caught on.
Although both genders clicked on the same number of balls, men quickly acquired more space than women, apparently because men were better at identifying which balls (those closest to the wall) would give them the most space if clicked.
They totally overlooked the most obvious conclusion: men are better at games than women. Of course the men gained the most territory.

It seems the idea of the study was that the girls weren't looking to see what the stuff in the game did, they were just clicking them acting like "oh isn't this goofy little boy stuff, I am totally giggling because I could care less", whereas the guys were 100% competative, so they paid close attention to what everything did. So it basically proves what we already know: men are more likely to be competative in games than women.
The thing is women are extremely competative about things that they think matter. They're raised thinking video games are silly boy things, and what's important for a woman is to not care, and so they get competative by trying to show more apathy to be coolest.

well that and guys are better at stuff.
