Absolutely would. We could exchange soundtracks. This was my Spotify list and if you know... you know. I'm actually surprised Akira Yamaoka with Silent Hill or SE with the Nier soundtracks didn't make top 5

Also.. you have the wrong Mega Man boss music.. the correct answer is Crash Man from Mega Man 2 which is my ring tone. Girls, Girls would you date a guy who listens to video game music very often?

I love putting VGM on.

I don't think a day goes by where I don't listen to a track from the Twisted Metal 2012 original score.

I think the most recent VGM I heard that was absolutely banging was the Paper Mario: Origami King soundtrack. Disco Devil is amazing.

I don’t think I would…. It’s nothing to do with the music, it’s what’s what’s behind the music that bothers me. All those hundreds and hundreds of hours spent playing on a video game, instead of going out, making friends, making mistakes, and developing social skills. Without those well developed social skills, people can become really strange. They seem to be operating on a different plane of existence where very strange behaviors are acceptable, like playing video game music on a first date.

You can still have a stable social life while enjoying video games. Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. And I would say mine was pretty stable up through my 20s.

And id probably be dating someone whos into video games to begin with so I would very likely play video game music on that first date.

If she wasn’t a video gamer then yes id not play that stuff on first dates. But eventually she would have to understand its what i like. Im sure there might be music shed like that i wouldn't be into either.

Dude, what the? Wait, is this question about you? I mean why are you making it about you?
Are you seriously telling me that ALL of those crazy hypothetical questions that I’ve been answering, all this time, were really questions about you personally? I mean it’s unbelievably unfair of you to ask us “would you date X”? And if we have the experience in our lives enough that allows us to answer honestly, you rip the answer to shreds because MY answer doesn’t apply to you personally, and you were referring to yourself in the question, without letting anyone know it’s about you! That’s just not right!

Well yeah this question is about me lol. This isn't a hypothetical. Most of my questions are hypotheticals but if im asking stuff like this or like my video game collection one yeah its about me.

Apologies if i wasn't clear

Im not @ripping your experience to shreds” not sure where you’re getting that. If you have experience with it then sure thats what you experienced.

But your answer dies make it seem like you are generalizing a bit. I dont see much about you mentioning experiences related to this.

I think you’re reading a bit too much into it.

I stand firm on my initial disagreement miss

As to MY lived experience, regarding dating gamers…
Sure, while it’s true that pretty much all guys play video games, there is a huge difference between a guy that plays Madden football for a couple of hours on a rainy Saturday afternoon, every now and then, tops! And a guy who plays it all day, all night to the point where he actually listens to the music from the game when he’s not even playing the bloody game!

So i guess this is more of a “would you date a guy like me” type question and not a “would you date a guy like THIS” which is more general

Alright cool I understand the type of gamer you’re talking about lol. Yeah those types tend to be losers. I agree.

No, you are not asking “would you date a guy LIKE me” you are asking “would you date me”?
That’s what happens when you make it personal, it’s literally about you, so OF COURSE you get upset if a girl answered negatively!
Still-alive

I dont get upset lol i just push back against criticisms is all. You are still allowed to have your opinions im not saying you can't.

I do accept negative answers.
CrazyGirl2

But sweetie, that’s my point. It’s not fair to ask us (well, ask me) a question that seems hypothetical, but is very personal to you. Because my answer to your hypothetical should NEVER be confused with criticism! Yes, you have every right to push back against anyone criticizing you, but it’s not fair to ask a question in such a way that a random non-personal, non-specific answer would ever be considered criticism. Obviously if I even suspected that you were asking “this is me, would you date me”? I would never have answered.

To be clear, I actually have specific lived experience dealing with this situation. We had a group of about five “Game Nerds” in my high school. Obviously there were other game-nerd groups, but these five were closest to me being in my grade and home room. All they did was talk about video games! If something school related required us to talk to one or all of them, one quickly discovered that everything, to them, related somehow back to video games. Seriously, EVERYTHING! If I asked one of them, “did Ms. Moskowitz say there would be a quiz on Friday?” Their answer would undoubtedly be something like… “is Lara Croft going to be my wife someday?” I actually still have no idea if Ms. Moskowitz assigned us to study for a quiz that day!
My GAG User Name is CrazyGirl, b/c that’s my actual nickname IRL. I got it, as I said, because starting back in middle school, if you dared me to do something, I would usually do it! During one lunch period I was dared to act all seductive to the game-nerds. Just to see if they could approximate actual human behavior. (Obvs that’s a jk) and see how they’d react to being hit on by one of the “popular girls”! I did exactly what you would think I would do… I adjusted my tits so they “stood out” a little more, undid a button or two, and headed for the Game-Nerds table. When I got there, I leaned over, resting on my elbows and forearms, the effect of which gave the quintet a perfect “down-blouse”! Then in my best flirty airhead voice, I asked if they could give me the title of a game that I could “buy for my brother” but was easy to learn, and would be liked by the whole family, immediately the five began discussions at first, then slight arguing among themselves about the best game “for me”, but not surprisingly they mostly forgot about the down-blouse, and my breasts!

Seriously, not-a-one of them stared at my tits (for any length of time that would usually make a girl uncomfortable)! They just failed to react to any of the normal social cues!
Fast forward to last October, and I was on a date with a guy who was very cute, a bit nerdy, and kinda socially awkward, but really sweet and kind with a great sense of humor and a smile that could light up a room! He truly seemed like he might make for good boyfriend material. During the date he was sweet and polite, but when I was asking him questions about his likes/dislikes, I asked “what is you favorite type of music” and amongst others, video game “soundtracks” was on his list. I know it’s not fair, but when he said that, all I could think was “oh! Well THAT explains a lot!” You see MY lived experience has shown me that guys who are THAT into video games, do not make good boyfriends. It’s not one particular thing, and it’s not specifically negative, it’s just that whatever psychologically causes a guy to be THAT hyper-interested in video games, to the near exclusion of anything else, also causes a litany of anti-social (or extra-social) interpersonal skills. Now, given that we are dealing with human behavior, there is no such thing as “always” or “never”, so I’m sure that a great many video gamers are not like that at all. But when it comes to dating, there are just some things that we have to make blanket judgment calls on. For example, I wouldn’t, in general, date a guy who served time in prison, nor would I date a “biker”, or a man who told me he was “bisexual”, because I never want to worry that my man might be cheating on me during an all guy’s weekend getaway! But similarly, unless there were mitigating circumstances, I would not date a “gamer”. It’s not personal attack against you, hell it’s not even fixed in stone. But unless I know more about him, and I know he is not a “typical” gamer, then he’s a “NO”, and that’s just my dating preference.

Hmm I actually didn't know thats why your user name was crazy girl.

And yeah lol at those nerdy dudes. Guess they were just too obsessed.

Can i just ask you about your date with that one guy: if he hadn’t said he listened to video game music do you think you would have continued?

And again dear i dont take what you say as deliberate attacks agaist me or generally, i just engage like with people. Often to see where they are coming from. Your story with the group of boys makes more sense when i now read your first answer here. Its just an attempt at understanding more really.

I really dont get mad or upset on here much at all really unless i see harassment going on, thats when my ire is let out on here.

I wrote the two-part answer above because you mentioned that I said that I had “lived experience” but did not list any of those experiences. I hope the above clears up any questions as to the veracity of the experiences I have lived vis-à-vis Video gamers, dating, and the interpersonal skills that I have observed.
Hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘💋

As for the date I went on…
As attractive as he was, and as sweet and funny as he was, he acted kinda weird around me, the waitress, even the hostess. Even though he was quite funny, he took EVERYTHING we said as quite literal. Now, I do have quite a good sense of humor myself (or so I’ve been told) but every single time I said something to be funny, he thought I was being deadly serious! It was getting worse and was rather annoying! Especially given how much he made me laugh. That just put me in the mood to joke around even more. However every time I tried again to say something jokingly, he thought I was being serious! It was the same with the waitress. She said something sarcastic (but totally appropriate and quite obviously sarcasm) to him, and he thought she was being serious! So when he mentioned that he loved video game “soundtracks”, I was just like “Ahhhhh, that’s why!” Because he spent so much time alone in his room, playing video games, instead of going out and learning the working of interpersonal relationships, he was socially awkward. And additional questioning absolutely clarified that this is EXACTLY how he lived, growing up. It was as if his body was 21 but HE was still 12. He absolutely lacked the INTRA-personal skills necessary to understand the subtleties of INTER-personal communication and relationships. That is why I never went back for a second date! You see, it had nothing to do with the games themselves, it was the lost time with “others” BECAUSE of the games that made him socially awkward, and literal. I even mentioned that I was dyslexic and asked him point blank, if he had any learning disabilities (that might answer why he was so… awkward). There was nothing! So barring some undiagnosed psychological problems, the only thing that made him that way was the thousands of hours that he did not spend with people, learning about appropriate communication skills, that made him like that.
I hope that clears up any questions you may have had.

Yes it does. Well ill just say if it were me id definitely engage you with the jokes lol. Sorry to see he was taking things to literal.

Thanks, but don’t feel too sorry for him, he’s the reason why I doubt that I’ll ever date another gamer again.
