I like to play video games myself - but only on occasion. Playing together is a good way of bonding with a guy. However - if he has to play every day, then that is no different than someone who has to drink alcohol every day, or smoke weed every day, or buy himself something at the mall each day, etc. No compulsion is any better or worse than the others, as far as I'm concerned.
I'd never date a guy who plays every day. But the great thing about that is, those guys don't usually seek women for building a relationship with - they are too wrapped up in their fantasy lives and in wearing a hole into their spot on the sofa or their recliner to pursue a woman.

Well, i think it would be wise to log off more often. The real world is out there, waiting (and i don't mean going to the nearest bar with the intention get completely wasted). Many people miss out on so many real life opportunities due to so much online entertainment these days. And at the end of the day that is sad.
MAJOR turn off! Youre not a child, you need to act like an adult.
Why are you correlating video games with childhood? They aren't exclusive to each other. My wife and I, in our thirties, both play video games. Anymore they are more entertaining than movies. We just finished a horror game that was faaaar more enthralling, and frightening, than any horror movie I've seen. Plus..get this.. I'm physically active as well. I run, mountain climb and peak-bag, wilderness backpack, mountain bike, ski, and I travel extensively as well. I have a good social life, a respected profession, and so on, but because I play video games I'm a child? C'mon son. But go ahead and keep your outdated notions if you wish.
For whatever reason, it seems people equate video games with addiction. Well, any addiction is problematic. Most people can drink, and yet aren't alcoholics. Most people can eat, and yet not become addicted to food. And so on, yet even on this thread, people have said 'I don't mind, as long as he's not addicted or its in moderation'. Why throw that qualifier in? Why are you assuming this activity means addict? When on earth did people start equating the two? It baffles me.
Besides the real people to watch out for are the ones who have to check Fb everyday and go into crisis mode if they are separated from their phones for any length of time.

Perhaps we should tell our Grandchildren that we are "adults" now and we are not allowed to play Mario with them because that would be acting like children.

Just my 100% unsugarcoated opinion. I don't seek women to build a relationship with because it's way too much work these days and not worth the effort. I have my dog, friends, and my PS3 to keep me company.
It depends. How often does he play? Does he do anything else in his spare time? What does he think about it? Is he a videogame engineer?
It's not necessarily a turn-off. It becomes one if it becomes obsessive and a huge black hole of resources and time spent in the real world. Many men play video games and they don't allow it to be the center of their lifestyle, and that's not a turnoff. If they do, then it is as much a problem as any other unhealthy addiction. I chose the second option because by the time we have children, he won't have time for it again anyway until they're old enough to play Duckhunt, and I don't know many men who still play videogames in their 40's, so they must wean off at some point when life becomes real.

Of course, you can always get both and be doubly happy though
