I guess women just don\'t like it when you play video games...... my g/f asked me why I play video games, and I couldn\'t respond! WHY DO I PLAY VIDEO GAMES! I just love it I guess... although the words that came out of my mouth when talking to her were "Well I.....Huh?" I later asked her why she asked me that question and she said, "I don\'t know, a lot of girls think gamers are slobs" Well I\'m not a slob... I play half an hour tops each day! Yep it\'s tough being me... :thepimp:

ohh and another thing..... I\'m not overweight....just thought I\'d let you know, just to show I\'m not too much of a slob....

mmmkay

i think the reason people play video games is that its fun and stimulates the mind. Also you can do things that you can/couldnt do, ie play at the top level in football.

Ask her why she likes movies, music or anything else for that matter. It\'s entertainment.
-
yeah i was gonna say that but i couldnt be bothered, damn i must be getting tired or something
-
I play video games cuz I\'m a lonely S.O.B. ;)
(either that or watch prOn)

My g/f said that people who play video games are nerds. That made me mad. Playing video game is something sometimes you can\'t do in real life. I like to adventure in all types of worlds, and to do the impossible. :D

Well, the girl I currently date ( she\'s REALLY nice person, and I must consider myself lucky ;) ) doesn\'t really care about games. She doesn\'t care if I play or not, but she doesn\'t care to play herself, so I don\'t play when she\'s around, as she finds it boring. But she loves bowling, and is very good at it, so we enjoy ourselves other ways.
I could say she\'s healthy to me, as she drags me away from games and computer :)
But usually girls here think people who happen to like Star Wars or play games, are nerds. I\'m not, luckily, as I do sports, so it makes the situation even, and like I said, my current girlfriend is very nice person... ;)

My gf and I both enjoy games together. Hell just recently she and I had a rousing (note: not arrousing) time playing Metal Slug X. She enjoyed it quite throughly and she\'s also one hell of a tank driver. She says and I quote:
"I don\'t mind him playing games at all, except when it\'s C-Strike because he plays that far too often and he is VERY distracted when he does. It annoys me because the game is boring and is the same everytime imo, plus, I hate the controls. :D"
Yep, she pretty much covered it there. :)

You just gotta roll her over and tap it one time, then she\'ll be cool :laughing:
Nothing says lovin like Lovin!

yea it is a rare thing to find a GF that likes to play video games but the last girl i was talking o liked them which was cool
but she only liked a few of them but she didn\'t mind watching either

I have no problems such as these, since my boyfriend loves games as much as I do.
But when it comes to friends, I have only 1 who really, really loves them as I do! It\'s great to hang around with her, cause we can talk about games & obviously play them too. Then there\'s one other girl who used to play, but she only liked Tomb Raider. But it was fun while it lasted, we talked about TR strategies all the time.
But you can\'t really claim that GIRLS don\'t like games. I know that many guys don\'t like them either. (surprise!) I\'ve heard many of them say that they hate games & don\'t understand why someone would want to play much. It all depends on the person! But I admit, of course, that most players are guys, unfortunately.
The big challenge would be to make girls understand that there\'s more to games than mindless bashing. I wouldn\'t claim that it\'s the violence in games that drives girls away, cause I myself adore violent games. It\'s just that many girls think there\'s no story, no emotion, no deeper meaning in games. And in their prejudice they won\'t bother to find out. I am sure though, that there is a game for everyone, and if you introduced a well chosen game for your girl, she would fall in love with it no matter how much she dislikes gaming! Many girls like RPGs such as Final Fantasy.
But then again, I wouldn\'t understand those girls, cause there\'s never been a time in my life when I didn\'t play.
