Are guys who play video games really seen as unattractive?

[Suraj1711]

I came across this post and I am genuinely intrigued to hear what folks think about it.

Yes

No

Depends

Playing games just automatically stopped when you have a 9 to 5.
If it doesn't then life is great.
I never understood women love gossiping, makeup, being angry at trivial stuff, sucking enjoyment out of anime, animated movies, just because they feel that it's childish.

A lot of women don't like animation, anime, and games because they don't want to fill- in or be something like part.

Where as men find word-action more suitable, motivational, and a hint that life isn't bad with good people around.

I don't know if my examples are good enough but when an anime says "
Those who do not understand true pain can never understand true peace"
Or a character in a game says
"We are warriors so that one day others don’t have to be"
These things resonate more then real life quotes, because the story is similar to there own life crisis. Of there own struggles, a lot of the time guy chose to play games, watch anime because society rejects them. And it's mostly women who rejects them, completing a game feels like an achievement.

Women do not need any of it, they get all attention met and more, they don't need to fight as hard as men for the level of success (if in jobs it's different there is a level of corporate which prefers men cause they trust with more responsibilities and judgement, more sexism in that part)
Women also gets things very easily like hope, motivation, love, respect.
Where as a man needs to fight, struggling, be something before those things are awarded.
Women don't consider these things cause they feel it's beneath them.

You know what will always be unattractive to men? Being unsupportive of their source of joy and satisfaction and trying to take it away

People are not a math test, there's things we like and don't like about every person and everyone's got something. A functional relationship demands accepting the whole person as they are cause I won't give up hobbies for a woman, no man in his right mind will or he condemns himself to slow toture for the rest of his life.

Almost all relationships end in breakup because the hard truth is pretty much nobody is compatible compared to how many aren't. You can't take a relationship that's not meant to be and make it work. Accept that you're not right for eachother and move on.

So she doesn't like your hobby, so what? The world is full of wonderful single ladies, stop pouting and go say hi

[VioletHaze]

It depends what kind 🤔 If he spends hours on fortnight or other PvP games its not the most attractive. There isn't a lot of depth to it. Or maybe its just cause I don't get it.

But an interest in gaming is almost a requirement. How else would I get to nerd about all my favourite games?

No... having a hobby is a good thing. Like anything its good in moderation. If you're ignoring your partner constantly because you're busy doing something whether it be gaming, reading, watching tv that is where the problem comes in.

Not at all as long it's not their whole life.

[Zack-Bann]

It’s more about if playing video games is his whole identity.


“Gamers” are unattractive or at least not doing themselves any favors.


But if you have other interests, a social life, and so on, I don’t think you’ll be harmed by playing the occasional video game

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It depends on who you're going to ask, how old they are, their genre and what their exposure is with the topic.

Statistically, and as one hypothetical example, a 50yo woman who mostly heard of Pacman is highly likely to consider video games as a toy. And as such it's logical, from her standpoint, that a guy should have ceased playing with toys a long time ago.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

In the case of that woman posting, since her profile reads as "Christian, Wife, Mother Abortion Abolitionist", which scores quite high on the conservative militant spectrum, video games are, in essence, logically perceived as wrong lol

[indissoluble]

83.6% of internet users across the globe are engaged in video gaming. So that woman is mentally retarded. She's getting on the internet looking for men that don't play video games. What she doesn't realize is that being mentally retarded is unattractive to men. That is if she wasn't already completely repulsive in the looks department. She is destine to be a cat lady.

[NathanDavis]

you should never take statements that start with "always" or "never" that too seriously... as they are almost always biased...

[LazerBean]

No, not unless it's an addiction or they are neglecting adult responsibilities. My husband and I, our brothers, and several of our friends all play video games together.

[queenofcardio]

It can be depending on how much he plays

I have my own hobbies so it's whatever.

[Still-alive]

how much is too much?

My rule of thumb is as long as im not neglecting my responsibilities its cool. In a relationship they come first too :p

[TsundereMatrix]

If it consumes his whole life then yes. But a little bit is fine by me. I like video games too but I don’t let it consume my life.

[MemeSupreme]

no lol

literally just have a life and be a functional adult, then no one cares

[MemeSupreme]

also, plenty of us play games too so thats just dumb

[FreyaRed]

I play games sometimes too but not 100% of my free time like some guys do. This makes a difference

[MrChinaski]

It's nice to be able to hold a conversation with a partner on more than one topic, any one topic. I doubt many people find video game playing unattractive as part of a varied interest diet.

[molonski2]

Absolutely, it's such an horrendous addiction and ludicrous waste of time , better to put these energies into business matters.

[SieghardWalsung]

It would be in your best interest to not take anyone with that stupid blue checkmark next to their name seriously.

[Nikki1989]

Unattractive is the wrong word. Juvenile would be a better way to put it.

[AngryCarl3]

@Nikki1989 With all due respect, that's your answer to everything.

[Still-alive]

Just don’t neglect your responsibilities and you’re good. Don’t date anyone who actively hates your hobbies

[LiamS95]

It often indicates a certain lack of maturity and responsibility, as well as a lack of drive to reach goals for financial security which can be found very unattractive to his partner

[lilBigPotato]

I don't care as long as it's not the only thing that they're interested in.

[exitseven]

yes, thy should out grow video games by the time they are in their 20s.

[AngryCarl3]

Unless they're Hikikomori I can't see the problem.

[beefcakebradybatson]

My boy Jamie Logsdon, an avid gamer, is 70, six-three,260 or so and in this straight chap's view, a good-looking guy despite health concerns.

[jahaims]

There is a difference between a hobby and an addiction used to cope with reality

[yummyyyyumy]

If he’s too addicted to computer games, I don’t like that

[Anonymous]

Probably, I play video games and no girl wants me... or at least - no girl that I like.

[genericname85]

Who cares. Do what you like.

[Iron_Man]

as long as they don’t overdo it no problem

[Anonymous]

Not if the girl is a gamer too

[Opinion Owner]

It’s not that video games are bad, it’s that the guy spends so many hours focusing on them and ignoring her. Again, much less of a problem if the girl is a gamer too (though most girl gamers aren’t nearly so obsessive about it as their guy counterparts).
