MAJOR turn off! Youre not a child, you need to act like an adult.

Were I live there is this bar and next to the bar there is this place that makes homemade ice cream and they have a video arcade mostly older games and pinball . That might be a good date idea down the road.

I dont mind. Me and my husband are both in our mid 30's.. we both play video games together. We grew up playing games with our other friends, and now that our friends are spread across the glope.. it's one way we still keep in touch with them and can do something fun together.

Playing video games, not a problem. Getting into a video game haze for days at a time where you don't sleep, eat or shower? That's a problem

Big difference between "playing" and "playing a lot". We play one night a week and that is it. Great fun.
Playing a lot IMO is a time waster, where some of that time could be spent on something more productive.

I can see from a woman's perspective that video games is a turn off just like how i feel it's a turn off when women gossip alot. If a girl comes to a decision that I'm not dateable because I play video games is not a woman that I would want to spend my time with.

I wouldn't want to be with a woman who didn't like me playing video games. I like doing it on my free time with my friends. Calling someone a man child or pathetic isn't so mature either. Let people do what they want. If men playing games is a turnoff, then women who gossip and shop all the time is a turn off as well.

Well if the woman at work and I have nothing better to do I would play video games until she got home than I rather play with her.

I still play video games- NES emulator- about as far as I'll go.

I'd be cool with it so long as playing video games is occasional.

Guys who are a bit techie, or at least informed are cute. And, video games kinda go hand-in-hand. Sorta. Technical proficiency over gaming, but the occasional gamer is semi-okay.
