Would you date someone who plays video games?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

YES! Where are all these elusive gamer guys at I keep hearing about? Because in real life, at least where I live? They don't seem to exist, much less like women that play video games. The few that do are already married or taken so... yeah.

I'm a gamer, so finding a guy that plays video games? That would be perfect for me! He doesn't even have to play the same games I do; it would just be nice having a guy that understands how much fun gaming is, not raging if I spend the evening gaming to unwind (because I'd let him do the same), or just discuss games with in general.

All I ask is that he know how to balance his gaming with the relationship: as long as he's not glued his game (s) 24/7 and can spend time with me as well? I'm content.

Oh, for sure. I play, too.

I just can't date someone for whom video games are their ONLY hobby. Let's go climbing, go biking, cook, etc - do more than only game.

My ex was a big "gamer" (idle clicking games?), and while I also played like 8 hours of MMORPGs or more a week, I also taught karate, performed in a musical troupe, and ran DnD games.

He eventually guilted me into stepping back from a lot of my hobbies to make more time for "us".

Except all he wanted to do was play on his computer. And then complain that all we were doing was playing on our computers.

One of many reasons why I left him.

TLDR: yes, but not if it's his only hobby.

Yes, but I've never met another woman who legitimately plays games before. Lots of fake "gAmEr gUrLzZz" out there, though. (Here's the difference: If most of your gaming is on mobile, then you don't count as a "gamer." PC or console, but if we're being real, PC.)

Anyone playing video games can't say no to this. So yes I will certainly date someone who plays video games, what I wouldn't date is someone that looks down on people playing video games. And some one that value me less then their time with video games.

Starrisunset · Answer

Yes. It wouldn't bother me if they played video games. What would bother me would be ignored while they play their games. I was in a relationship like that once. We both worked 2nd shift but he'd get off an hour before me. By the time I got home he'd already be playing his video games and he'd play 4, 5, 6 hours and virtually ignore me the entire time. Needless to say we didn't last long. But video games aren't a problem as long as my boyfriend plays them in moderation. If the video games are getting more attention than me on a regular basis it's a no go.

Elliegirl · Answer

Sure. I married a guy who plays video games. I play them too. We do t play them a lot, but we enjoy playing them together from time to time. We don’t let them interfere with our lives and responsibilities. It’s when it becomes obsessive that it’s a problem.

I couldn’t be with a compulsive gamer, though. It’s like, dude, I’m cuter than Princess Peach and I’m real. Put Mario away and pay attention to me!

K-I-S-S · Answer

Yeah, no problem with that.

When i game i like to take the entire day, to immerse in it, 8-16h usually.
During a workout recovery day or something.

Some people have a problem with that. Although there are usually only 0-2 days in a month like this.

I also work and run two companies and have tons of other hobbies and skills. But after mentioning gaming their vibe really does go off.

loves2learn · Answer

Yes. I married someone who plays video games and gave birth to 2 boys who play video games. They are all playing Legend of Zelda rn while I am on G@G 🤣

have_a_good_day · Answer

All I want is a partner whose butt I can consistently kick in Tekken and Mortal Kombat ☹️☹️
But only on weekends..
I don't play games during the week because having balance is important too 🤷‍♀️

natured · Answer

Yes I don't mind video games Hell i'd even join him... but I wouldn't like it if he spends WHOLE DAYS like 6 hours and stuff that would be a deal breaker.

Lionman95 · Answer

No I wouldn´t because it can become very addictive and it can take a person´s focus and social life away. I prefer being outdoor and enjoy life in the real world.

On_cloud_wine · Answer

Yeah, because I used to love playing them, and I could go back to that world. I don’t think a gamer would be compatible with a non-gamer though.

EmmaMary · Answer

No absolutely not, there's a damn sight more to life than sitting in front of a screen for hours on end, if not days.

victoria5475 · Answer

I'm a gamer myself, so maybe I'm biased on this. It all depends on what each person is comfortable with.

45Fstraight · Answer

Maybe the occasional Mario Kart, but I wouldn't want to be with a guy who gave all his attention to his gaming life.

beebella · Answer

Yeah, as long as it doesn't take up the majority of their time.

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Sadly, most people who play video games tend to neglect other facets of their lives. They don't make good partners.
