Your picture: It's not cool because he's sitting waaaaay too close to the monitor. It looks kinda pathetic. He's goona wreck his eyes, back, etc. It looks like he's an addict and doesn't have common sense. But this one is muuuch worse. He's pathetic.
Okay. Why? Not cause he's buff and his shirt is off. It's cause his place is not gross, he clearly has his shit together and doesn't live in filth or squalor. And he's an animal lover and is chillin' with his buddy. It's actually quite a nice scene.
As a guy, I can get turned off by the whole gaming thing. But I’m referring to the people who make it a huge priority in their lives. Men have always had hobbies outside of their relationships, such as hunting, fishing, the gym, tennis or golfing, etc. the problem with video games is they are in the home, they can be played all the time and endlessly. It’s far too easy to get lost in the fictional world of online gaming especially when things aren’t wonderful in the real world. The key is making sure that your partner shares in the hobby or that you both set reasonable boundaries regarding how often A person will play games a day. It’s not realistic to expect one partner to virtually live alone while the other plays call of duty for 3 1/2 hours every evening and is closer to his online partners that he is his own. Like I said everything is all right as long as there’s good communication and moderation. I’ve seen golf widows, and it looks like video games are taking their toll too. Sad
I think the real difference is that you cannot access Sports the same way you do video games. Live sports comes on at predetermined times and ends when the game ends. Gamers can go for days from what I understand. I get your point, and the answer is pretty simple. Any behavior that a person has male or female, that adversely affects their relationship with their spouse or partner and becomes unreasonable, Hass to be reevaluated. There’s nothing wrong with your wife watching a few hours of lifetime TV or a romantic comedy, and there’s nothing wrong with a guy watching football on the weekends as long as he is still taking care of his business. It becomes a problem when it becomes more important than being with your partner. You just keep an eye on it
No, generally it’s not a turn off. But just don’t make it the only thing you do outside of working, that’s ridiculous. Gaming becomes a turn off for me when it interferes with daily life and becomes a priority over things like helping with household chores, sex life, working, caring for your children, etc.
I guess so yes. My boyfriend works 40 plus hours as a chef and does a lot of overtime. He comes home at 2am or 3am in the morning, the games till about 6am or 7am. Falls asleep. Wakes up at around 2pm, then games until he has work again at 5pm. He gets 2 days off a week and he games all day. We don't go out or do anything anymore
Nah it’s kind of cute. Better than him wanking off to porn or only fans or some celebrity’s photo or perving at girls on the street. He could do a lot of bad things and playing games isn’t one of them. As long as he’s not so hooked that he isn’t giving me enough time and attention it’s fine for him to play video games a couple of hours in a day.
Anyone who would judge you by a hobby like this, is someone not worth wasting my breath on. Ironically, these tend to be the most immature and emotionally stunted people. It's like saying "Grown men who watch movies and read books? Eew, gross! That's for little kids!" Some real "Stupid B*tch Sh*t," for sure.
I think a person should be allowed to do whatever they want to do on their freetime. Is watching a Lifetime movie any more productive? I assume not. But that is fine if someone finds something attractive or unattractive as well.
30+ years of gaming! My wife that has nothing to do with gaming nor likes it at all (only cars games) She sees me as a sexy man that is a chef and takes care of her and other women do find me as an attractive man even when they know and have seen me play video games (Youtube channel). If some finds it as a turnoff? Keep scrolling then 🤷♂️
It’s not about playing video games… it’s about goofing off too much. If you’d rather play Zelda then do the dishes that shows who you are as a person. If you ignore your family to play Mario kart you might be a shitty person. It’s about priorities. Going your shit done and spend enough time doting on your family and having friends.
My husband still plays video games, I'm okay with it cause I like games myself. I still haven't finished Mario odyssey and lugis mansions. I want that new Kirby game cause it looks cute. He mostly plays to socialize with his friends and he's not on it all the time so it's okay.
My father occasionally played video games in his eighties. Is it occasionally, or hours at a time? Is he killing time when he’s in line for something, or playing video games rather than working?
I played a few video games on my cell phone during my down time, but my next two week paycheck will be for over 150 hours of work.
Gaming is more than just a hobby now. Its legitimately how people socialize and interact with others. The online community is huge.
I met a lot of cool people online playing Halo: Reach. The excitement, and now the nostalgia, of getting out of school, throwing the disc in and hearing those drum beats while the game loaded was one of the best things ever.
It's one of the things I look for actually, but he needs to be stable. There are people who just game and people who eat junk, live in junk and probably feed some creature that lives somewhere in the junk pile.
It certainly would be for me! We have an 8 yr old who seems to think the world works around his Xbox where it came to a point that we had to limit his time with that thing.
