I've always wantend too play ever single I was a kid but I couldnt because 'I was a girl'. I want aloud even if inpiad for it myself. So I Dont hate them, I Just hate the faxt I never Got the play them because I suck at playing games now
I hate it because I don't see anything productive in it. It's fun watching someone else play but for me I can't do it. Plus it involves a lot of sitting which isn't good for fidgety peeps like me.
But playing tennis outside is better! It's just how I see it. I've no qualms with others playing. But my ex literally played video games all the damn time and it was sooo fucking annoying. He'd literally choose his video games over me. Maybe that's why I've got such a vice with it as well
I can understand why you hate video games due to past experiences with your boyfriend. If someone is that obsessed with video games that they neglect everything else in their life, then it's really unhealthy.
Some girls really love video games but personally I don't like it I think it's a waste putting your energy in when you could be doing something more important with your life
You wanted my opinion so I gave it to you don't be upset because I gave it to you. And yeah you're probably right but I'm not gonna date a guy who's spends most of his time in a fantasy world
Do you also think shopping is a waste of time? A hobby is a hobby, and guys have always had one. It used to be sports (for many it still is) and now for many guys it's video games. I can understand that you wouldn't like it if he does it too much, but if there's a balance in his life, I think it's fine.
At least with shopping your around real people in the real world. Yeah I get it's a hobby but I'm not gonna change my mind about not wanting to date guys who play video games.. get over it
Well, if it's so important that you see them in real life compared to chatting with them while playing games. It's comparable to girls chatting on social media. It's your loss, really. Most guys play video games, so you're gonna have a very small pool of men to select from.
There's so many girls that commented saying they don't mind video games and as soon as one girl says she doesn't you want to get in your feelings. And get upset. Not everyone is going to like everyone I'm just giving my personal opinion. And if that's so then I'll have my pick of the guys that don't play video games. Thanks (:
Oh, don't worry, it's your life. I'm just pointing the facts out to you. Maybe you will regret it later. Who knows, maybe you'll miss out on a great guy because you weeded those guys out. 155 million Americans regularly play video games. But of course it's your decision. I'm just giving you the information. Have a nice day!
I just don't understand why you care so much. Everyone has a preference for who they want to be with. So don't judge me for not wanting to date someone who sits on his couch for hours playing games that won't benefit him in real life. And I don't think I'll be missing out on anything but thanks for sharing
Because I've observed from some of my female friends that they have had some unrealistic standards for their future partner, to only later end up single or date men below their standards later in life all because of some filter they put on their future partner before. I just find it sad to see amazing women miss out on a partner for that reason. That's my reasoning. I suppose I shouldn't really care, but for some reason I felt it was my moral obligation to share this information with you. Nice chatting with you
Just because a guy plays video games doesn't make him a better partner. And it's better to be with someone you have things in common with I don't like video games therefore why would I be with someone who does. I feel like you are putting in your own personal experience and insecurities with girls. There's plenty of girl who enjoy video games just as much as you. And there are girls who don't that's the way it is
Well of course, my ex girlfriend didn't enjoy playing video games, but she didn't really make a big deal out of it. She had her hobbies and I had mine. We both enjoyed watching Netflix. I would have found it hard to believe that she didn't want to date me just because I played video games. Just like I don't weed her out because she enjoyed to shop. I personally haven't had problems with girls who personally weeded me out for playing video games (at least not that I noticed)
Let me just ask you why exactly you person out that plays video games. Would you weed a guy out that plays sports? I don't mean this in an offensive way by the way -- they are your filters, but I'm just genuinely curious what the difference is for you. What turns you off in a guy that plays video games specifically?
Most guys who are caught up in video games are usually antisocial and obsessed with animated creatures or characters that don't exist. It turns me off because it comes off as immature something little boys do. I like guys who play sports because they are muscular manly can be protective and it's real world they are playing in it's not virtual.( that's just my honest opinion)
Well, that's fair enough. There's definitely guys like that out there. But let me tell you that over here in my country (Belgium) a lot of my friends play football (Well, soccer for America) and still play a decent amount of fifa. The difference between them and the obsessive addicted guy is that they know how to manage and balance their life out, but I can see why you find the stereotypical video game player unattractive. You might just be surprised to find out that that attractive guy you see at a night club might play Call of Duty from time to time on the side. Even Conor McGregor played Call of Duty at some point in his life. It might be a shame if you don't give that guy you really like chance, just because he plays video games. You know what I mean?
Okay, well I respect your opinion. I'm really interested in psychology, so I'm trying to understand your train of thought, but it's really hard for me. You're telling me you would reject Odell Beckem if tomorrow he told you that he plays video games on the side? Because I can tell you I think shopping is a huge waste of time, but I'm not going to reject her just because of her hobby. I guess we just think differently.
If given the opportunity to date Odell Beckham or any hot guy I would but I'm saying guys who play video games turn me off and usually guys who play video games are scrawny nerdy antisocial guys. I'm not attracted to those type of guys. Pretty shallow but it's the truth. But also everyone wants to date someone they're are attracted to. The majority of guys who play video games I'm not attracted to
They seem them as a pointless waste of time, their men should be spending that time sitting next to her on the couch watching reality TV and being shown pictures of cats that she found on Facebook.
I know many girls who play games and love gaming. I also know girls who play hours upon hours of games on their phone and hate gaming (even though the crappy phone games are still gaming). Everyone has a game. You just got a find it.

Why do so many people address men and women as a group all the time. I mean there are a lot of men who don't like/ don't have video games too. To answer your question, I do like video games but try not to play a lot because I have to study...
ikr and same I like playing but I limit it because they're more things I could be doing instead of playing games all day but it's really fun to watch someone else play :)
Why did that woman stab the guy in the eye? I don't understand what happened there or what it has to do with video games. I don't think women hate video games. What makes you think they do?

What does this have to do with women? We're just people, not all of us like the same things..
true, we really don't like the same things well maybe some things
They hate them because their boyfriends/husbands get too involved in video games & they don't give them as much attention as they want.
I used to play all the time! grew up playing the ps1 and my favourite was crash team racing... still have it too
That game is amazing! I still my copy!
I've always wantend too play ever single I was a kid but I couldnt because 'I was a girl'. I want aloud even if inpiad for it myself. So I Dont hate them, I Just hate the faxt I never Got the play them because I suck at playing games now

Have you played tennis on wii I almost ran into a wall
But playing tennis outside is better! It's just how I see it. I've no qualms with others playing. But my ex literally played video games all the damn time and it was sooo fucking annoying. He'd literally choose his video games over me. Maybe that's why I've got such a vice with it as well
What about virtual reality where you go to different world and punch your hand into the wall because you can't see the outside world
I'm need to go outside
If you play them you have got to strike a balance
Sure, there's a lot of sitting, but there's no time to fidget!
I can understand why you hate video games due to past experiences with your boyfriend. If someone is that obsessed with video games that they neglect everything else in their life, then it's really unhealthy.
They don't hate the game they hate it taking time away from them
I only spend an hour
That might be too much for her
Reptocarl I don't have girlfriend but I'm learning what not to do
Yeah
that's subjective.
Many play video games, many just don't advertise their gender because the gaming community is full of pervs that do nothing but troll women.
I don't understand why girls could hate video games either, I love them.
Some girls really love video games but personally I don't like it I think it's a waste putting your energy in when you could be doing something more important with your life
Like?
Working, paying your bills , taking your mom to a movie , texting your girlfriend back, going outside enjoying fresh air
Sounds like you had a bad experience
No I just don't like lazy guys who play video games 🤷🏽♀️ lol
How does gaming make you lazy? You realize people make a living from gaming? Some people even make millions
Ill call that productive
You wanted my opinion so I gave it to you don't be upset because I gave it to you. And yeah you're probably right but I'm not gonna date a guy who's spends most of his time in a fantasy world

I wouldn't have anything in common if he is cute and plays video games so I probably wouldn't last with him.. but yeah extreme gamers are not my type
So what is it that you would have in common with a guy that doesn't play video games? What is it that you're looking for in a guy then?
Smart, funny , athletic, friendly and fun
So tell me why playing video games would exclude those attributes? Even Kobe Bryant and Taylor Lautner play them
I don't find Kobe Bryant or Taylor lautner attractive.. I like Odell Beckem 🤤
And because video games are a waste of time to me
Okay, well I respect your opinion. I'm really interested in psychology, so I'm trying to understand your train of thought, but it's really hard for me. You're telling me you would reject Odell Beckem if tomorrow he told you that he plays video games on the side?

I think that's fair. I believe I have nothing to add to that other than thanks for the conversation and have a nice day
@Svennedude2 yeah the force is not strong with this one
I may have just proved her point
They seem them as a pointless waste of time, their men should be spending that time sitting next to her on the couch watching reality TV and being shown pictures of cats that she found on Facebook.
because we enjoy them a lot and obviously nothing kills women more than seeing men have a good time.
lets not forget that they know its the only thing that can distract us from them
There are guys who strongly dislike videogames as well. I guess it's up to what you like to do in your free time after all
I know many girls who play games and love gaming. I also know girls who play hours upon hours of games on their phone and hate gaming (even though the crappy phone games are still gaming). Everyone has a game. You just got a find it.

@innocent_ This.
@Franitz huh?
@innocent_ aaaaaabbbbb is right. That's what I meant.
@Franitz oh
That's why he used "a lot of women" instead of "(all) women"
I don't hate it, I think it's something guys attracted to as being a guy to have fun, like, shopping for me..
Why did that woman stab the guy in the eye? I don't understand what happened there or what it has to do with video games. I don't think women hate video games. What makes you think they do?
He said something rude and he in the apocalypse
But what does it have to do with the question?
I love video games. Fallout being one of my favourites.
I don't know why some girls are so opposed to it. I love playing videogames. Always have since I was a little girl.
I don't lol. I enjoy playing video games, have been playing since i was 6. I wouldn't call myself a gamer or a pro at it though.
same
I love video games but I'm not playing at all time. it's one way to relax my mind...
