I'm a gamer guy. And to be brutally honest, I've been pissed off at Gamer Girls for over a decade now. Back in school I knew plenty of girls who played video games, but none of them sat at the nerd table with us hardcore gamers and played Pokemon cards or Magic the Gathering with us. They didn't want to affiliate with us because they might get our nerd cooties and be deemed unpopular. So they all came to school in their Abercrombie & Fitch or Aeropostale shirts, and their birkenstocks and ugg boots, and sat with the preps and worried more about their popularity than having fun with like-minded people.
The vast majority of gamer girls I've met also sucked. Most of them sat around bragging about being a girl, and expected everyone else to coddle them and let them win just because they have a vagina. A lot of them were attention whores. The ones who weren't seemed to be hardcore bitches. One time a girl zealot rushed my neighbor in a game of Phantom on Starcraft 2. I just sent a couple of void rays into her base, walled off my ramp with cannons, and laughed as her 40 zealots died trying to get past my cannon wall as I sniped all her pylons with my void rays. Later on I found out she was the number 10 ranked player in the world. That's hilarious because I'm a bronze league n00b, basically a nobody in that game, and I owned her shit so fucking easy. After that she'd just leave the lobby whenever she seen I was in there.
So yeah, I honestly prefer to date non-gamer girls than to date gamer girls who think they're better than gamer guys. Non-gamer girls don't act so damn stuck up when they find out I'm a nerd who watches cartoons and play video games. But for some reason gamer girls who do those things themselves see that as a turn-off, something that makes me less of a man in their eyes, and I think that's just fucking stupid and hypocritical. It's like if male basketball players refused to date girls on the women's basketball team for being losers...

I'm hit or miss with it. I game but I don't have the new consoles. I feel gaming is going downhill in a lot of ways. But I still like the games I got. I could easily date a girl gamer as long as they wanted to do other things. I go to the gym and like to do things as well as game. Girls who have dated gamers have struggled because a lot of them play MMOs like WoW and EQ and their relationships crumbled. While an organization like OLGANON gets a shitload of hate from gamer communities... it's a very real problem.
I used to be super hooked on gaming and when I finally cut down my gaming, I noticed how bland it got nowadays. It easily causes depression because the day technically gets wasted away. It's one thing to have a marathon on a new game that you're super excited for. But it is a big problem when someone games 3-4+hrs a day obsessively.
Also the prices of games and stuff nowadays is atrocious. 60 dollars for a game... then every few months 15 because of DLC they could've included in the game? No thanks...
Depends. How much time will they spend there over the real world? I totally get gaming as a need for escape or stress relief--I do it myself for that. But not excessively. It could be fun to game together, but not for hours and hours and hours and never doing anything else.
I'm in a long-term relationship with a gamer.
The problem with that is games are addictive. At least to me. If I sit down to play, I get sucked in for hours - usually play through at least half the game in one sitting.
But I've learned to balance myself, haha.
i would if i was as old as 14 beacause they sound good to date when you wanna after school, play vedio games, eat chips, and probally fool around a little but if the gamer is over 25 then its like pointless and really unhealthy like can it be a career choice?

I would always prefer for my girl to game. Like when I ask "you wanna play some minecraft" she would be more than happy to play. It isn't a need but defiantly something that's desriable. it would also benefit the fact that wony have to be a single way activity. You two can play and both have a great time.
Depends on the games you play. I'm always up for a round of StarCraft II.
But most people aren't. It's a dead game...
Anyways, it's all about time management. And if the female herself can invest time into playing video games. There are many who do.I assume you mean hardcore gamer? Someone who spends the majority of their free time playing games? A lot of people game nowadays because of social media games on Facebook or mobile games. More households have desktops and laptops and video game consoles are mainstream now.
I don't think I could date someone who wasn't a gamer, honestly.
I dated a girl gamer. I think my favourite part was how many nights per week she couldn't see me because it was raid night with her WoW guild. I went one better and now she sees me no nights per week, ever.
I want a gamer as a boyfriend so bad it's not even funny. LOL.
Actually, guys who aren't gamers probably wouldn't even be attracted to me, since gaming is such a huge part of my life. xDdepends on how obsessed he is with gaming. if he's some kinda freak then no way. if its just a leisurely thing he does once in a while then yeah id b ok with it.
i wouldn't but only if i was a gamer myself, i don't mind my boyfriend to play games, that way i can have my own time, but when games become more important than me that;s a dealbreaker
I'd never date anyone, but if I would it would be a gamer. I'm an extreme gamer myself, and this way I'd have a common interest
All of my boyfriends have been gamers. I am not a huge gamer, but i like learning the games and attempting to play them :P
i definitely would. Actually, you could say i have a preference for girls who are gamers, because i really like gaming myself. Probably wouldn't date a girl who didn't like gaming
Sure, al long as it's no obsession and doesn't interfere with anything essential, I'm cool with that.
I am one so it would be weird if the guy I dated wasn't hahaha
A hardcore gamer that plays 16 hours a day? No. A person who enjoys video games? Yes. I wouldn't call myself a gamer, but I like to play from time to time. Everything in moderation right? XD
I'm a gamer so if my guy is a gamer that's just a plus!!!
Women don't know that those DOTA players be getting payed millions of dollars. I bet they won't be trying to bash those gamers any longer!
Yes, I don't see why not. Since I also game it would give us something in common.
Hell yes. Gamer girls are hot as hell and some of the sweetest people when you get to know them!
Absolutely, especially since I am a gamer myself.
Probably not, but it I would be willing to try.
