No offense intended to anyone, but only an immature idiot does that.
Your SO should come first, always.
They don't?
And they also need break, to do their own thing.
I've always rationalized my video game addiction by saying "at least I'm not high or drunk" but I feel like video games were mainly a 12 year phase for me. They aren't as enjoyable anymore and if I had a girlfriend I'd much rather spend time with her than play a video game.
Ummmm it's not that all guys play video games... my boyfriend loves badminton and he prioritizes badminton over me... I am totally fine with it.. cuz badminton is his passion and he needs some time all for himself...
Because often times, they want the other to show interest and join them.
Also, it's not just about gaming, it's about hanging out with friends. We don't game alone, we play with friends.
As a guy with a girlfriend who sometimes also prioritizes video games over me, it's just a normal human thing to do, not a guy thing.
Video games usually eases the person's who playin it mind, it helps them focus on somethin besides they problems, and ish.. I don't think they are prioritizin it over they SO, but just sometimes really engulfed in the game..
I don't think they do in a general sense. However, everyone is going to need some "me" time. If you're in a relationship and you just got a new computer game or book, maybe that particular night you want to chill by yourself and play/read.
Some people have interests that aren't really shareable activities, or ones that both partners are into. My girlfriend loves baseball, but I'm not interested in going.
They won't and if he is doing it, I am with him on this.
Let me tell you winning formula in dating, high standards and just cuz you date him don't mean you own his ass and woman invest nothing in relationships and ask for too much nowadays.
Those specific men do that because they are aware that don’t deserve you and therefore they don’t take any action to prove themselves wrong since they get plenty of validation and escape from a stupid game.
Personally because when whenever we want a break from reality we play games to take us away into our wildest fantasies. Also if you ever leave us we leave our reality to join another so we don't feel alone, left out, or abandoned.
When you deliberately prioritize a game over your SO, you are the one causing them to “abandon” you.
No I don't mean they always prioritize the game over the SO I just meant they use it to get away
I have this problem and I tried letting it go. It’s their own time and they enjoy themselves. Do you prefer him being expose out there doing some crazy shit? Rather have him home with me playing a game. Asked him to make time for you too have some activies set up or movie night
a grown up and a mature guy won't do that, even tho im a very old gamer and i loves video games a lot but my first priority would always be my future gf/wife
It's his one refuge from the life you chose for both of you.
Because games are fun, competitive, and if you're annoying your partner because of games, that's very stupid.
Because it takes a lot more effort, time and energy to spend time with another human being than it does to camp out in front of a TV and game/eat fastfood around the clock.
Yeah, it sucks that I have to shut down my game, untie the boat and go out to catch catfish. Then I have to come home and clean them and throw fresh fish on the grill at night. Damn my life is rough. 😉😀😀⛵🎣🐟🍽🍹
@Sixgun77 sorry to hear that
I was being sarcastic, my life is awesome.
Because games don't ask us questions, don't cheat, don't get jealous and we can save and start over if we fuck up.
We don't. But sometimes you just need your me time. Some alone time. It's not about the video game itself (unless the guy has an addiction), it's about having some time for yourself.
There was a girl I had a crush on in my freshman college philosophy class. She told me in a conversation "all my boyfriend does is play video games" and I told her I had given that up in college (haven't owned a console since).
Maybe I should have tried to steal her away by showing I had productive hobbies...
Video games are designed for fun.
Relationships aren't always fun. No relationship is 100% positive.
Video games are a more reliable way to relax and have fun.
Im not aware of any men who do. Do you mean that sometimes he'd rather play a video game than listen to you complain about something?
