I'm lucky that my guy and I are both avid gamers (Call of Duty: Black Ops!), so this wasn't an issue for me. But, have any of you ever gotten to know a man or woman that you're interested in and found out that they were an avid gamer? Some people love to play online video games and others think it's ridiculous and wouldn't be caught dead with a game controller in their hand lol.
If you liked almost everything about a person you're dating or considering a serious relationship with and realized either right away or after a period of time that they love playing online multiplayer games, would that make you more or less interested in them? Would you try and join them in their zest for online gaming, would you let them do as they wished while you did other things or would you cancel them out of your social circle if you didn't share their gaming enthusiasm?
i wouldn't mind as long as they had enough time for me and a full-time job and/or school as well. we all have our hobbies. that being said, the gamer "type" isn't typically my type. i tend to go for really extraverted, active dudes (my opposite haha).
the strange competitive nature in young women makes them see such men as a challenge. just bek he ripped off
100 others does not mean he will rip me off.
Depends on what he plays. I'm not a big CoD or GoW fan, but I do play Halo with my Brother and cousins and I play a lot of RPGs like Far Cry, Uncharted, Fallout etc and I'm embarrassingly into the Zelda series...my brother and I are planing on getting matching triforce tattoos when I visit next summer.
PrinceFrog, what board games do you enjoy playing? I still like playing board games such as Monopoly, Life or card games like Texas Hold 'Em poker, but since Black Ops entered my life two years ago, those board games don't hold a candle to it!
How avid is avid? Honestly, I haven't played a video game since my housemates and I had a old Nintendo back in college (Tetris, anyone?) It's not something I think about very often or find wanting in my life. If the dude plays video games, that's fine, but if all he does is play video games at the expense of everything else (like if "just a few more minutes" turns into several hours,) then we might have a problem.
Gaming is probably a dealbreaker for me. I don't find it attractive. Occasional play is ok.
