Maybe there are so many girls on the forums, cause some guys that play it don't want ANYONE else to know-even other sim fans :XD:.
Probably. Guys can be so insecure about their manliness sometimes.
Yeah. But lets face it, the Sims is just as much as a boys game as it is girls. The game isn't manly about building relationships and starting family etc, like someone stated (though I see no why a guy shouldn't enjoy that) Lets not forget, the whole concept of this game was created by a guy. Theres so much to do with it, because its a sandbox. Theres no specific goals for you to follow. You could create any sim you want. A mad-dwag party animal, or a family oriented person. Some simmers play it for the building aspect. (Which is a massive part of the game) some simmers simply play it to mess with their sims lives.
I hate when people genderize games. I know heaps of girls who enjoy COD, or Assassin's Creed etc. Instead I like to split the type of gamers into a particular category.

Hardcore Gammer.
RPGer

As for the answer to the topic. Well technically girls, but that wouldn't be the case if people didn't genderise the game, and make fun of guys who are fans.

In all fairness, I think some of those categories can be combined. For example, I'm a pretty casual gamer in almost all aspects (I don't take shooters as seriously as many other people do). However, I do like to RP in RPGs like Oblivion and Fallout. I guess that would upgrade me from casual gamer to RPGer...

True statement. I know quite a few girls who like and enjoy Oblivion and Fallout 3.
As for who plays more, I would say girls do but that does not necessarily mean it is a one-sided gender game to play.

Uhh first one I've seen of it. Besides that stupid one about EA being sexists, but that doesn't exactly count.
And I really think girls play it more, but there definitely isn't a shortage of men playing it.
Oh, I've thought of a 4th one: Stragey Gamers (excuse my spelling
