Do Girls Like Guys Who Play Video Games A Lot?

Question

You know I'm just wondering?

If the girl/woman likes video games, and if she's included, then it can fine.

However, if you're always making the both of you late for dates, etc because you HAVE to finish "just one more level" then it's a big turn off. If you're always making playing the games your date, then that can get monotonous. And if you're ignoring her too much because of the game, then it will become a problem. If she hates video games or never wants to play them, then it can become a problem a LOT quicker.

In other words, if video games are your life (and you're not a beta tester or professional gamer or writer) and you have an addiction to it, just like an addiction to anything else, it could be a BIG problem.

But if you like them, and use them to have some fun, and you aren't always playing then no, I would assume most girls would be ok with it.

Now if you've got someone who is morally opposed to gaming, then it will also become a problem... almost instantly - and I would suggest finding someone else.

Of course, provided you're aware of your gaming habits, you can use it to your advantage. If you NEED a couple of hours of gaming per day, and it's not conflicting with having a life, then you look for someone else with the same hobby. Then it will probably be a big plus.

Of course, being a guy, I can't tell you for sure... but this is what I'm assuming this is how most reasonable people would think.

My girl had no problems with gaming as long as it didn't interfere with my life or us.

A little tangential to the question, but I know a guy that claims he knew he wanted to marry his current wife when she beat him at command and conquer in college. Girl gamers tend to be rare, but they are definitely in demand.

My valentines day gift for her was a psp, and she seems to like it. I just had to get her cute games. Loco Roco, Patapon, Ratchet and Clank. As long as I stick to these and we play together it qualifies as romantic. I just have to watch for the "I'm getting bored now" symptoms as she's ADD and has trouble doing anything for more than about 2 hours straight.

I personally don't but the man I'm seeing is a physician and plays video games to relieve stress.  After reading an article about video games, playing video games is great for physicians and especially if they perform surgical procedures.  Something about the way the game is played with the joystick enables them to navigate through surgery much easier and smoother.  Although I'm not a fan of video games, it's not a breaking point for me.  There's more important things to concern myself with.  Besides, every now and then I enjoy going to 'Dave and Busters.' which is an adult arcade.

I don't. I really have to say that it is a big turn off for me, I like guys who go out and do stuff and not sit inside and waste their lives in some sort of digital fantasy world, and I could not give a damn whether you made something dance in the legend of zelda or whatever. My boyfriend plays limited video games, which is OK, I expect most guys to do it a little, but he can expect to be patronized for it if he brings it up in conversation. Likewise I expect the same if I would try to talk to him about sewing.

I like it a lot. I'm a girl gamer, and my boyfriend is a gamer too, so a lot of the time, we both like playing video games together when we're at his place and aren't doing much of anything. ^_^ It's fun for the both of us. :D

Brando · Answer

If she's interested video games too, then it shouldn't be a problem (obviously lol). But I think it depends not so much on the video game part, but HOW MUCH you play them. If you play them too much and don't put yourself out into the world then they'll never know you exist.

torken · Answer

Well, video game playing among males its becoming more and more mainstream. We video game geeks are finally the majority!

So, it actually doesn't really matter if they like it or not, because they are going to have to accept it as a part of society. Just like they probably don't love how guys get obsessed with watching football, or card-night with the bros.

On the other hand, girls, believe me. If you pick up that controller and get into gaming, I PROMISE you it will do more for getting you a guy than any hot low-cut shirt.

Happyfeet · Answer

Yeah it's Awesome! Esp if I'm playing with the guy.

However too much gaming(excessive to the extreme) would be detrimental to the persons realtionships with others, thus pushing people away. There needs to be a balance. EVERYTHING should be done in moderation. ^_^*

rosalie13 · Answer

hey I'm guilty here...i like to play video games...so I wouldn't mind a guy who did either...

buttercup444 · Answer

when its like an obession and constantly playing video games its a turn off. when its when there's nothing better to do and you let your girl play on 2 player with you and stuff its awesome. my man plays his video games like 3 nights a week and I love watching =]

i wouldn't say its romantic really but just fun

aggregate · Answer

Depends on how much you play. A huge frag match of halo or gears shouldnt really substitute for a date lol. but again it depends on how much the two play. I've got friends in WoW that are married or are seeing each other. The family/couple that plays together stays together. ^.^

516brooklynn · Answer

no I think its a totall turn off. I like guys that actually do something with there lifes..so unless you are 12 and under do be obbsessed with video games..once in awhile is okay but not all the time to where you are blowing things off like your girl..

Anonymous · Answer

I know I would. Then again, I'm not your average female. Of course if your life is games, then it's not really that awesome to be playing games 24/7. Even though I love video games, I still have hobbies on the side like drawing, playing music and basketball.

I just think it's sorta romantic, though, playing games with each other. Fun when competing against each other. It creates a perfect combination of love and friendship. Video games are things that can help relationships bond.

Not letting me play with you, though? *smh* Not good.

Anonymous · Answer

It can definitely be fun to play video games together, but I HATE it when a guy lets me win. And if you spend as much time on video games as other hobbies than I would see it the same way I'd see those hobbies. Just don't let them take over your life. Plus video gaming is a better hobby, than say, bug collecting (imho, I'm sure there are girls who like that so yeah).

savvyg11 · Answer

I don't care as long as it doesn't affect our relationship. If he's dropping plans and never wants to do anything else... yeah that's a problem! I don't know if it's "romantic" to play together but it definitely creates more of a bond I guess.

butterfly_girl · Answer

Its not really something that important in a relationship :)  My boyfriend plays on his xbox quite a bit and I don't mind it at all as long as he makes time for me too. xoxox

DeathWillNotDivide · Answer

i don't care as long as he isn't obsessive over his games... my boyfriend loves his guitar more than me I swear so I tease him bout cheating on me with his guitar... basicly we are fine with it as long as it doesn't take our place and you still can come back to earth afterwards... <3

Standingpretty · Answer

Well, I don't mind it. All the bfs I have ever had played video games a lot. It's fun if they let me play but all they usually do is kill me in halo :(

mysmileyface · Answer

a girl who wouldn't mind a guy who played video games and actually enjoyed playing games herself is a girl I have yet to find but wishes that did. total turn on right there for sure!

meggers27 · Answer

alliebeatbama · Answer

its ok if they play occasionally for like an hour or two tops at a time, but def not a "gamer" by description.

Reeses-pieces777 · Answer

Hetha · Answer

shes-a-lady · Answer

NO. we want a MAN not an immature baby playing vdeo games 24/7, but that's just me...

Takkunlee · Answer

I love playing with my significant other but I also like that we do other things as well.

sweet18 · Answer

No I wouldn't like it if he played them all the time. Working, spending time with me, exercising, come way before gaming. I honestly think gaming is a bit of a waste of time.

Anonymous · Answer

he can't be like a video game nerd that never gets out but every once in a while sure that's what guys do. I'll maybe play with him depending on the game

TwiceTru · Answer

I'm way into video games also. I'd love go have a guy who would play them with me. lol

Ninax · Answer

I don't mind, as long as he's not addicted. I'm a bit of a gamer myself.

hope_9 · Answer

NO! we also don't like guys that have pictures of swimsuit models as THEIR profile picture.

sweet18 · Answer

I wouldn't it. BUT! Only if video games didn't run his life and he only plays them when he's not with me :)

blahblah00 · Answer

I don't think that girls really care either way. It's not like they'd like it but they wouldn't dislike it.

hellokittygirl24 · Answer

well my boyfriend I swear is in love with his xbox but he spends a lot of time away from it to be with me lol and I don't like him just cause he's into video games I like him for his personality =]
