A game where men and women in equal population can play together

There aren't many girls that play games just to get that adrenaline rush from PvPing or getting a new set of armor that makes you stronger against other opponents or panic state PvE hardcore raids.
What I have thought of, is a game that pretty much is like this:
Sandbox features
Gardening (like Farmerama), Cloth designing (like the many girl games on the net), sharing bonuses (like facebook).
Skill system, PvP flag (if you want to pvp), no destroying others creations, no big boobs, big ass girl 3d models (but cute and versatile faces), parties, more jobs that women prefer.
The guys can pvp, build houses, go to casinos, hunt creatures, etc..
With these features we can introduce more and more females into PvE content like raids and PvP competitions. I'm not a game designer, so someone researching what males and females mostly play, would make a perfect sample of a game.
I'm just picking some things up that I have seen that my gf likes. If she ever wants to play a game with me, this is a game she probably would play with me. 
Anyone got other ideas?

I don't know if any developer would want to open that can of worms.. I can see the commercial now..
"Join Sexist - The Mmo.. Where guys can do cool stuff and girls can get their ass in the kitchen and cook those damn vegetables they grew in the garden."
As long as their was an option to drag your female partner around by her hair and give her a good old punch in the eye anytime she acted like a noob, I would play... o.O
So I am not the only one to who thought OP was massively sexist?
Check female player stats for WoW, then STFU OP.
Wow.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

To OP:
Do not post your game server/name if its FFA PVP...you will be ganked by girl gamers non-stop ...
This is seriously funny, best laugh I've had all week.
Wait, hold on. Why are you calling me sexist? You guys are playing big boobie girls and seriously, I told you that this is from my own view what I have seen girls do on the net. Now, I'm a sexist for trying to get males and females together in a game?
Whoa. Get a gf that isn't a lazy ass gamer nerd and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, oh! The females could have the "Bare footed and Holding a baby" tree! Think of it like a dual wielding ablility that allows her to cook AND take care of the children! This is Hilarious!!!
Yup...keep digging...go on...
this is like free realms without the pedophiles and kids
But I suggest that all female activities are switched to only one, "cooking"
Back to the kitchen! =P

What I've observed is that "if" women enjoy playing MMO's they enjoy the same game mechanics more or less than men.
Sure, some seem to take on the healing role a bit more readily and some are more concerned about the cosmetic look of their avatar (but certainly many men do as well), but overall the larger question is how to get women who don't play MMORPG's at all to come to the table.
I have two daughters, and while one played some Lineage 1 back when she was 14/15, since then neither has shown any inclination to playing MMORPG's despite my offers of encouragement.

I thought already before I posted that people like you wouldn't understand. And you still won't. So I won't argue with you about this.
I have a gf that doesn't like the current mmorpgs in the market. My brother had gfs where they just played a few moments because they wanted to do something with him, but they didn't like it. What they liked was that they were hanging out and being more intim with their bf, but could care less for the fighting or getting maxxed in the game.
Does he not get that you are never going to get people, male or female, to play MMOs seriously if they aren't "lazy ass gamer nerds"? I don't care what you put in a game, 90% of humanity with internet access has no desire to spend 1-12 hours a day in a video game.
oh I understand. It is just the way you say it. You just called all female gamers "lazy ass gamer nerd" ...good luck on that one..
If he has a problem with female gamers why does he want his girl friend to play MMOs with him? Seems kinda contradictory to me.
Stop putting words in my mouth Z. You fail miserably at acting like batman and turning me into joker.
FAILWHALE.
This entire thread makes me /headdesk.
LOL
so sexism aside, your idea is to make a section of games not actually the games. like a waiting room, if you will, for the people who don't like games. ... ... ... let's let that sink in. seriously. people who don't play games don't play games because they don't like them. end of story. nothing you can add will make people who don't like games suddenly like them without turning them into "lazy ass gamer nerds" or whatever the heck it was you said.
now that i've got that out there i'm going to watch the community keep tearing you apart.
EDIT: felt like i needed an example to give some perspective to you: adding tiny tv screens to the covers of books so that the people who don't like reading can still "read" books.
want some popcorn ?
i would love some
Well...this thread will be fun to watch, until its locked/deleted.
Whatever. I see those people not having a reasonable IQ for understanding the topic I have in my hand to get to my level. Those girls I'm talking about LIKE to play games, just not what the MMO genre is heading too. There should be a game that caters to both sexes, and you're doing nothing but flaming an idea that could turn out to be something.
But you're deluded by the feminism agenda that you can not read my post properly or we have very different girlfriends.
I know my girl friend is different form yours. Do you even have doubt on that ? LOL
you mean the feminIST agenda? i am not sure i can support the idea of someone who cannot spell.
He is flaming women and QUILTBAG people. What's next? Liberals? PoC?
