So about two hours ago, one of my friends is over, like most of my friends he\'s the typical jock type, doesn\'t play games, Is more into sports and games, and you know stuff!
Not into games at all.
But his perception of gamers, and as well as a lot of ppl I know, girls, guys alike, is that a gamer has "long hair", "never showers", "has no life"
I for one hate when people say that, because they see people talking about games in places and shit, but they see them as being nerdy!
Then I tell them, "but I play games", and they reply with "but no, your cool, and your an exception"
Then I look at the "post your pic" thread that we have here, and from what I see, I don\'t see gamers as being nerdy or long haired freaks that dont take showers, we\'ll except soulgrind....;)
jokING
Has anyone else ever experienced this?, I mean after all were not nerdy star trek fans! are we!? ;)
-
Long Hair - No.
Never Showers - No.
No Life - Yes.
-
That is the perception of a hardcore gamer, and thats way before they became so mainstream.
To tell you the truth, I don\'t exactly play games all that often. I wouldn\'t even call myself a gamer. Just someone who enjoys the odd bash or two at GT with some friends. Its not that deep.

something fishy about this thread. Gr81 said he has friends..and they think he\'s cool.

He has a Beemer so he\'s automatically cool.
-
Long hair - Yes.
Never showers - No.
No life - Yes.
So, I guess your friends perception of some gamers wasn\'t totally off.
;)
-
Long hair - yes
never showers - yes........I take baths tee hee
has no life - indeed I don\'t
so here\'s you have me, a steriotypical geeky gamer :p
-
Long hair. Used to have, not any more though.
Showers. ALWAYS, there\'s no excuse for letting your personal hygene go.
No life. Course I have one, I spend most of it getting drunk, granted, but I DO have one..
-
Long hair. Certian laws of physics prevent my hair from growing down
Showers Always
No Life. Plead the 5th

That comment is something that I can associate with, maybe for different reasons, but I CAN associate with it.
My hair tends to look as though I have just been given a massive electric shock. I have to wet my hair before I brush it, just so that it will stick down.

I don\'t think he is living in reverse gravity, but his hair might be.
Mine does.

That\'s the pathetic perception of a gamer, I don\'t care. I know what\'s a gamer and i\'m proud to belong to this community of GAMERS.
PD: no life is not finish FFVII.
-
I would consider myself a hardcore gamer. I play all the games that will appeal to me, which are a wide range and master most RPGs.
But i have short hair, i play hockey and basketball regularly, i run everyday to keep in shape, i date woman etc.
It is just one of those stereo-types

Hey Im not the one with an ass as his avatarr.
-
well yes and no. i think most peep think of pc gamers like that,,,,,, but most of my mates are switched on to know cos u like com, your not a nerd
-
Hmm.. I dont think peeps go around talking about game nerds anymore. Not as I have noticed ... too many peeps like games this days... its not like the early 90`s
-
Gamers come in all shapes and sizes. Your friend is just labeling us with another dumb stereotype, like black people who say "bling bling" or the way you reffered to him as a jock. Those are dumb stereotypes as well :)
-
Long Hair - Yes
Never Showers - No
No Life - Yes
So I almost fit the stereotype.
Some girls won\'t believe that I\'m a gaming nut... why do most girls think games are a stupid waste of time anyways - Hawke
Heh.. but see.. that\'s jus in America. Wait till you guys get the PS2, Xbox, and NGC online. I\'m tellin ya.. I\'ve met so many beautiful girls playing PSO that it\'s jus unreal. I had no idea. Too bad they all live half a world away or more. Beh.. picking up chicks online is lame anyhow. But still.. they are very cute...
Expecially when you consider that asian girls LOVE videogames. ;) It\'s probably why Ashford spent so much time over in the JP servers ain\'t it?
-
I do not have long hair. I shower frequently. I play football and wrestling. I am employed. I sitll manage to play a lot of games.
-
Thats right, SonyFan... :nut:
By the way, I\'m Asian so I don\'t need to go online to meet Asian chicks.
Not that being Asian has helped me with the ladies.
BAH!
-
Ok, nerdy...maybe. Long haired? Ryu wishes I\'d stop cutting my hair. :p I take showers to smell all pretty for Ryu (to get him off my case about my hair!). And Star Trek...I like Star Trek. =P
All hard core gamers get is a yelling from their significant other for paying so much more attention to a controller and screen. :p
-
ok damn i dont meet any standards
why oh why have i been cursed with this non nerdy gamer appearence and habits
and i know im really into games so i say screw stereotypes in general
