 Ok this is kind of a tongue and cheek thread. 
 I would like people's opinions or stories of what is great about dating a gamer, cause we all know when gamers start dating it great till they have to share a PC.

 I will start this
 
 I dont date alot for various reasons.  Awhile ago I met this female gamer in real-life before I knew she was a gamer. One of the most awesome things about it is she understood that when I really got into a game she knew to wait to ask me to get up and do something I understood this point of view for her as well. Plus the awesome G-15 keyboard for my bday was a bonus.

 The down side was  when her PC blew up she would never leave my house and go home, I mean spending some quality together was great but my computer needs me as well.

Dating with a gamer is imo very good thing, because you dont need to worry about female that talking :
"You are only sitting on that computer and playing games!"
Another good point of this view is that, that you can to talk with your dating girl about a games, opinions about the game, what you feel when playing it etc.

Some bad of this view for a dating girl who is a gamer is that, that you need to share a computer but imo it's only bad thing while meeting the gamer same like you, i'm started to dating a girl and later she told me that she like to play games, cRPG's particularly .

Great thing about dating a gamer: why spend money on movie tickets, when you can play co-op? Or if you're having an angument, you can settle your differences in some vs action.

I swear, if anyone mentions gamer girls being "great with joysticks", I will punch a puppy!



A really, really cute puppy!

It's mostly good as long as you have separate computers and/or consoles. If the man or woman you date games as much as you do, you'll have to fight for time.

Other than that, it's great. The person I'm currently madly in love with games, and we can talk about anything from the latest BioWare title to the merits of one P&P system over another, to specific gameplay minutia like spell selection and character builds.

The downside is we also argue a lot about those very same things. Part of the reason why I rarely get bogged down in such debates on here is because I do it enough already. Still, I rather have that than being with someone that doesn't game at all, or worse, hates gaming. I doubt I could coexist with such a person long term.

My last girlfriend left me because she said I played too many video games. Girls..at least the ones who take care of themselves..tend to be programmed to hate video games.

I've never been that interested in meta gaming. I do what works for me, and if a gamer girl has a problem with that, I'm sure we'll find some way to reconcile.

Pshh first never date someone who does not take care of themselves, myself for example I spend two hours everyday in the gym why because I like gaming so much I would rather do that then get some sun, so I understand that if I do not want to look like Santa Clause with a bowl full of jelly around my waist line I have to do something.



And if they hate video games they just are not worth dating. Unless they dont like videos games but dont mind you playing then it is cool.

Eh, I only work out for about a half-hour a day. But, I'm young, and I only focus on aerobic exercise. I'm sure you want to be a big muscley man. Me? I'm completely fine with the arms I have. They're actually a fair size for lifting like, no weights.

I wouldn't mind dating someone who's a gamer as well (given that I'm one myself, to deny the other person the same privilege would be rather hypocritical), but I'd sincerely hope that they have other interests apart from gaming. If they insist on spending time on the computer 24/7 bashing away at MMOs every day of the week, I'd worry for their emotional, mental, and intellectual development as well as their ambitions in life. The tendency to latch on to instant gratification at any chance possible is a good cause for alarm bells to start ringing, I think.

 I can understand that but after school/work/ and kids I say prefer to game than to go out and mountain climb during the weekdays. However maybe I should have stated that my weekends are mostly spent out doors with my family. Maybe I oversold my gaming addiction a little.


And Godak if you can tell from the picture you so happily point out on, I do have a little bit of the muscle thing going on lulz.

Not much to say to the last few posts beyond me too? >.< Although  those are general relationship considerations. I'm extremely picky and  thus, have spent long stretches of time single. But I rather be single  than see someone with a panoply of nigh insurmountable personal issues. Working through my own is hard enough.

Amen to that brother/sister.... But one of the more encouraging things is knowing that there is someone out there just a little more screwed up than I am.

[Pious_Augustus]

There is no good thing about it because then they expect you to help them out with every single quest even when there is a golden trail telling you where to go.....

Suprsingly she has almost made it to 80 in WoW

Dated/boinked a PMS Clan girl, COD division. Yeah not all it's cracked up to be she was still a royal b***h, she was also nice enough to play an SP game on my 360 when I threw my back out again......Ah she was soooooo considerate. It's either hit or miss with gamer girls, honestly though I'd prefer a gamer chick over a stuck up materialistic women any day.

I wouldnt say I'm picky, I'm certainly an equal opportunity employer but yeah some things girls have in their heads is just way out of realistic considerations, I'm all about opening doors, pulling the car to the curb when it's raining, pulling the chair out, so on and so forth, nothing wrong with manners and treating a lady right, but damn if it aint like opening a door for a load of BS if you have manners, then all the sudden everything you do together is about me spending and them enjoying, no thanks, if you cant self sustain financially, or not text my phone a million times and call and call and call, "what are you doing, where are you, whos with you" seriously if you're that insecure with a man as loyal and honest as me, then bye bye. Hate to sound like a jerk but that's been my reason for not getting into or investing in a relationship, amongst other reasons.

Lol and why cant they take my word for it, I'm divorced, marriage isnt all that great, especially when one person is the only one holding it together, why are so many women so eager to get married, and have kids?

Better to be picky than, "Oh! You are a man/woman, let's have sex, get pregnant, and be forced into marriage by our twisted sense of morality!"

Why do you think those two are mutually exclusive?

(Here's a hint: they're not.)

Breaking news! Condoms (and pills) free you from that burden! And I´m not counting that sex is not limited to the sets sets of practices that lead to pregnancy...

Married to a gamer (but I *so* got him hooked on them). His & Hers cpus (and for Christmas, I got a sweet little gaming machine - um, cpu, that is). Life is beautiful.
