I wouldn't date anyone who self-identified as a gamer. I mean really, that's what you'd consider really important about yourself? That you sit in front of a TV/monitor all day and do nothing but play out little fantasies?

Wait.

You're posting in a GAMING forum about how gamers "do nothing but play out little fantasies?"

Hello pot, meet kettle.

that's what I was saying, it's that false sense of courage to be a moron on the internet, which gives people the ability to be rude/pretend to be superior/an ass without consequence.

Being interested in games also opens alternate conversation options with males, makes them easier to approach. I met some serious freaks, too.

Those moments are amazing; especially when you combine "underground" interests: RPG´s and other geek stuff (comics, videogames...); extreme metal and paramilitary activities are some of the best sources to meet all forms of weirdos.

wow thanks for the imput.I play games,I'm a woman.I own a home,two no sorry three vehicles.I just bought a 1970 yenko nova(love old muscle  cars). I also own property in another state where I plan to build a new home in the next two years. I'm glad you'll never accept me for a woman with fantasies,who makes  a good living by owning and running her own business.

. <--- that is the point

As you can see, the point has hit a jump and sailed clear over your head. The point isn't that GAMEZ IS BAD LULZ it's that playing video games is not really something you should identify as. I mean, if someone asked you what you did, would you say "I play video games?" No, because that would be pathetic. Gaming is a hobby, something to do for fun. It should not be what you describe yourself as.

marksmanship is a hobby you think someone would say someone proficient with the use of mid to long range firearms is pathetic, I think not lol

DATE CONVO: define yourself. 
I'm a corporate basketcase that works in a cubicle, what about you?
I'm really into gaming, of all kinds.

which is more interesting?

1. That isn't exactly mainstream entertainment.
2. I wasn't aware appealing to numbers was a good strategy. Because if we do, I actually win.

What, did you just see the word "pathetic" and decided to make up the rest of my post? Because I don't recall actually saying people who play games ar pathetic. In fact I am quite sure I didn't.

Another reason why you shouldn't identify as a gamer: there is not one more overtly hostile and defensive community in the world, except maybe Islamic fundamentalists.

you stated it would be pathetic for one to apply the word or characterization of gamer to themselves, thus implying that by doing so would be pathetic. Why are you even in this thread? You dont even add to it you just have negative **** to say, so take it elsewhere.

It isn't entertainment, period. It's how some of these guys make a living.

You don't know much about the industry, do you? It isn't a hobby for them, either.

You, sir, need to get out more.

Which, to me, sounds kind of silly. But whatever, I'll take it as my bias showing. Still, unless you make some kind of salary playing the game I don't think it would be appropriate to describe oneself as someone who just plays games a lot.

You, sir, need to get out more.

Or maybe less, given the subject of our disagreement.

I'm not being hostile, I'm just saying you come into this topic, which states "great thing" about gamer partners companions what have you, and start out being negative, most of the people on a video game forum consider themselves to be GAMERS, yet you imply it as stupid or pathetic that anyone would label themselves as a GAMER, that'd be like going into a fanboard for a band and saying anyone who would label themselves as for example a Dead Head is ridiculous, and is a pathetic thing to do. You think people will just say you know what you're right let me climb up on that soapbox with you lol.

[Godak]

Hell, it's like going into a gun shop and saying that being a member of the NRA is stupid...

 Yes that being said operative when have people ever been " Smart", most people want to be led so they do not have o make decicions. Oh yeah good morning.

 And the good thing about dating a gamer girls they know whats under the desk.

[Seagloom]

I think the majority of people go with what they feel best represents them in the environment they're in. Most times a person is going to label themselves based on their career. If they're in a public place around strangers and the conversation turns to personal details, they tend to mention what job title or a career broadly.

If they are among acquaintances at a party and the topic of hobbies comes up, then they may identify as gamers if that crowd doesn't seem too judgmental. Or they may enjoy one of their other hobbies more. Maybe they prefer to be known as surfers, rock climbers, dancers, writers, or whatever else they spend most of their spare time doing. Sometimes, their career and hobbies overlap, so the answer never changes.

Yet other times, the conversation might go in a direction that causes a person to identify with a particular political party, religious belief, race, or sexual preference. No one identifies as any one thing all the time unless they feel it's a defining personal characteristic.

Personally, I would never identify in public as a gamer. But then I wouldn't identify as anything else either. I don't think the sum of all my personality and beliefs can be summed up with any one grouping of people. Anyway, this is only tangentially related to this ongoing conversation, but there are my two cents. ~Shrugs~

exactly, killing people is a byproduct of serving in combat zones in the military, killing people is widely affirmed as an inappropriate profession, but being that it is a byproduct of being in the armed forces, would you consider it inappropriate for someone to label themselves as a soldier? no you wouldnt lol.

nudity is taboo in many countries but would you go into a strip club and say maam what you're doing is inappropriate, and labeling yourself as an exotic dancer is too.

You may not be hostile, but you are very defensive. I in no way insulted anyone, if you take anything I said as such it is your own fault.

I'd be willing to do that. Just have to find a gun shop here in Ottawa, though.

Also, Godak, there are people who play Magic: The Gathering professionally. I would certainly be embarassed to admit I was a professional basement-dweller.

[DragonDefender]

LMAO

[xODD7BALLx]

I dont label myself as a gamer, I'm a dude just trying to live his life in relative peace, what I do does not define who I truly am, but are games an attribute of my character yes, is music yes, firearms yes, being a Veteran yes, this topic is about appealing qualities to being in a relationship with a person that has the attribute of being a gamer lol why the hell do people feel like I DONT AGREE IM GOING TO BE NEGATIVE RATHER THAN JUST MOVING ALONG BECAUSE I DONT CARE ABOUT THE TOPIC ANYWAYS HAHAHAHA. really man take a break.

Never really got into card games. Still, I bet people who play Magic professionally are very proud. I doubt that they have any shame at all. To them, it's probably the greatest thing since the invention of the basement itself.

[xODD7BALLx]

how am I being defensive, really I'd like to know, all I said was watch your step when you get off your soapbox, which clearly you've been on the whole time in this topic, and then made a point that other things in life such as marksmanship(which can be a hobby as well as an attribute to a profession) isnt pathetic, meaning if someone said I'm a marksman, you wouldnt feel the urge with common sense to say that's pathetic that you label yourself as a Marksman gah lol, I just dont see why you dont move along and go be negative elsewhere, you'd be doing us all a favor, oh yeah mornin Dragon lol.

[DragonDefender]

We all carry shame, most people just try to avoid acknowledging it most of the time so they dont have to face it. Like me I am a degenrate pervert when it comes to sexy women, do I run from it " Hell No" I embrace the fact that I am somewhat like a shark when it comes to ladies. " Yes get out of the water if you dont want to get eaten". I mean just be who you are embrace your shame you will enjoy it so much more. Remember Decadence is not such a bad thing.
