Nope. At the very most, you'll have to, you know, compromise a little.

It's sheer luck if you find ANY girl who is into gaming as much as you. In general, they take little interest in it.

I look around my office, in the IT technical section I see about 80 blokes and 3 women. That isn't sexist before anyone wades in on an SJW horse, that's how it is.

Both my ex and my current girlfriend are/were cool with my gaming. So was my ex fiancee, and, well pretty much every girl I've dated, now that I think about it. Wasn't that hard.

@caseh

First off, she doesn't have to be into gaming. Secondly, she just has to be accepting of your hobby and the time you put into it. Last but not least, you have to be considerate to your spouse as well.

I think at some point, you have to accept that if you're going to be spending so much time gaming that people start resenting you, then you might not be relationship material to begin with. Even "gamer" girlfriends (and boyfriends, for that matter) are going to get fed up with the neglect, because what's the goddamn point of being in a relationship if you're not going to spend any time with the person?

The actual problem is that a lot of people's definition of "gaming" these days is upwards of 40 hours a week playing (or a full time job, in other words). It might be time to just devote your life to gaming at that point.

Dude my wife accepts my gaming, she simply insists that I do my manly duty before I sit my @$$ down for a session. I'ts called compromise.

Unicorn lol

@spotie

U have so many ex, even an ex fiance. Are u sure your gaming habit is not the reason for that?

this dude drugged his gf to play games... I think he's broken the "habit/hobby" threshold and ventured into addiction/ psychotic/sociopath..You'r e not gonna find any woman to be okay with that, unless she's also not right in the head. its sad that i'm not even really shocked.I've become desensitized to peoples stupidity.

My Wife knew I was a gamer when we dated and married, she heard me talk about games and systems and when I moved in with her, I got her old roomates room as my Man Cave to setup PC's and my Consoles. She buys me games as gifts and our Son now plays some of my older consoles as well. Only time she complains about it is when I have the volume too loud.

Finding a very attractive gaming wife is not that difficult. I'm an average looking dude with a decent job (teacher). She is pretty damned attractive and plays 50 hours of games a week and has no problem if I play every single night. We've been happily married for 10 years and have a super cool and smart daughter who is also a mega gamer.

The guy in this story is BEYOND pathetic. He is a heartless, ignorant criminal that gives gamers and all men a bad rap. This dude needs to GTFO.

Hahaha

@badz

Ahahaa! Genuinely cracked up there and its almost 3am.

Its all about compromise but trust me, I almost feel for the guy lol. What he did was absolutely wrong but that headline cracked me up.

If you want a girl that's into gaming, and you can't find one, you may just be hanging out in the wrong places. Talking about gaming isn't a common thing in most social settings, so best to go to things that are gaming related, and you will likely find one. Or there's the internet and what not.

In any case, you don't really need a gamer girl, just one that respects your space and gives it to you from time to time. Most women would also like their own space, and probably do things you have no interest in, but we still don't care if they do it, and occasionally do it with them.

If someone would prefer to play a game, than form a solid relationship, then it's time to reevaluate their priorities. If they're with someone who won't let them do anything they want to do, then it's just time to find someone else, because it's not going to end well either way.

Then again, if I ever found a girl who was cool with being drugged so I could game, that alone would be cause to drop most of the gaming to spend time with her. I mean, serious catch, much?
