Guys, is a woman who preferred videogames over partying in her teens, a turn off?

Question

Please be honest.

Who would you rather date/go out with?

I'm talking about myself here of course, I used to prefer videogames and spending time home or just somewhere nice and quiet over partying, drugs, having X number of (usually fake or temporary) friends and hook ups.

I know that made me less experienced and more awkward, but I think I got over that (the awkward thing), partially at least, I'm still my little old shy me (and I still take an interest in videogames and stuff like that, just not as much as back then when I was younger).

I only wonder whether I should be honest with guys I go on dates with (when I actually go on a date lol) and tell them how much introverted I used to be, or whether I should rather keep my mouth shut?

I'm an ambivert now. I like to go out but only with people worth the time.

TBH, reckless partying is MUCH more of a turn off than video gaming.

I’ve dated several gamer girls. 1 of them didn’t turn out well, but the other 2 were great.

And my SO, who I’ve been together with for 4 years is big on gaming as well.

She never partied.

From my experience, gamer girls can be just as fun if not more. 🎮

If you're asking this question then you do not understand men. Then I would assume that the ones you're interested in are the ones who partied, hooked up and did drugs in their teens, as opposed to like minded ones. Because if you were interested in like minded ones, this question would have answered itself already.

I didn't party OR play video games (Nintendo was my exception). I was more into cars than the others. In fact, I took auto shop in high school. Half the guys thought I was cool, and the other half thought I was a dork. But at least I didn't get pregnant like 2 of the cheerleaders did.  THE PARTY GIRLS

Your hobbies in the past doesn't matter that much, (as long as you're not doing bad things of course) and you're still a teenager back then, for a teenager it's normal. I was a gamer girl too when I was a teen, and still am.. I just got a lot of responsibilities going now haha.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

I was a party animal back in the day. It wouldn't be a turn-off for me at all! Not in any way. It just... wouldn't matter. It would depend on what I thought of the girl's personality. I couldn't care less whether you used to party too, or preferred video games (I don't think I've played a video game since I was literally a little kid. I was so not a "gamer").

It's not going to matter to a guy that you were into video-games and didn't like to go out as much. What's going to matter to him is just... what he thinks of the personality of the girl he's talking to.

Please don't worry about this. I am maybe the most extreme example of a partier who had/has zero interest in gaming. If it wouldn't matter to me, I can't imagine it mattering to anyone.

I wouldn't say it's "welcome"... because... it just doesn't matter. It's neither a "good thing" nor "a bad thing."

Most guys like video games. Therefore, most guys would like to share that hobby with their girl. However, most guys won't like her as much if she has too many masculine traits. Believe it or not, most guys only like party girls because they know they will get laid more easily, not because they want to marry her and have her be the mother of their kids.

I would welcome it. I went to the most of the major events in school and “got lucky” with a few girls in high school. Never did drugs or anything like that. In truth there were a few times I’d rather been at home playing games. Would have been nice to have a girl I shared that hobby with.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Assuming she is an adult now, and STILL prefers video games over partying, then she is potential marriage material.

Partying, drugs, alcohol, and casual sex are for losers, and I only date gamers with artistic talent.

So in my opinion it's a requirement, not a turn off.

blackgaletiger · Answer

Gamer girls have become the norm now. Its not a turn off nor its a turn off. Girls that party are the same. However, the way you game is more of a determining factor in which our hobby/activity is a turn off or on.

Who wouldn't want that 🤷🏻‍♀️ like myself, i just play video games and never went to a party. Last time was a pizza party

Miristheiss · Answer

I don't know much about the gaming world but what I can tell you is a partying girl, a drinker is the type I want nothing to do with.

If partying and drinking and going to clubs is her thing then she was an immediate NO.

Anonymous · Answer

Its totally fine. Preferred, in my case. I like video games, too, and while I'm a particularly social person, large events (parties included) have never interested me. Additionally, you should be honest simply for the sake of being your true self and finding someone who loves you for who you are.

HighValue · Answer

I don't like partying drug using people.  I do like gamers though. I have quite the gaming collection myself. I'd want her to play them with me. Board games too and table top RPGs.

Nerds are virgins trope, note that it mostly male nerds, men don't mind if woman is a nerd.

ColHathi · Answer

... Okay, I did not expect those results. I voted "no, it's welcomed" too, ofc, but wow.

MementoMori777 · Answer

I'll take the gamer girl, seems like someone I'd get along with way better than a party girl.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

It's welcomed as long as you're not a gamer now. Video games are stupid. But anything that keeps a girl from casual sex and drugs is fine in my book. Nothing is worse than that shit.

Women can do whatever they want and be praised. If you were a guy you'd be socially ostracised.

worldscolide · Answer

Party girls are good for nothing more than a pump and dump. Gamer girls ROCK.

Neither is a turn off to me tbh.  i couldn’t imagine judging someone based off what their interests was as a teenager lol

Everyone does that now, so I don't what you are talking about.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

Yes it is a turn off this is the difference between a Lady and a skank

Chthou95 · Answer

Men would actually prefer that over a woman that drinks and parties a lot.
