Asking this question because I was told that majority of girls tend to see the guy as less serious or that they spend extra time to just sit around and do nothing

From all the replies there are about 60% that are either fine with it but dont take part or like it and about 40% that either dislike or are generally uninterested which is pretty much half and half opinion and finding a girl that is at least ok with it is pretty much 50/50
The answer is a general no. It's the stuck up people male or female you have to watch out for. I watch anime. But I am somebody who is more of a casual fan who loves the old time amines and some new ones. I collect my favs, but is not an obsessed fan. I believe like with anything else, when it's questioning morals like hentai which is anime porn, or being obsessed to the point you don't want to be in a real serious relationship. You just want the sex basically. That's what any female would hate. Same with gaming. As long as you have a normal functioning life that doesn't resolve around it. If it takes up more than 60% of your your life, then it's a major problem. Especially if your a NEET or recluse.
Girls likes games and similar things that are nerdy. Some people, mainly guys, just haven't accepted it or think it's 'real' yet. No, we don't claim to have played them just to impress you, it's something we enjoy just as you. Has guys question me when I say I play games, it's kinda annoying. However, girls who do not game may have an bad image of games and anime etc. Because they've dated a boy who's main hobby was gaming, they felt they didn't get enough attention and thus despise them and people who use them. I've had such girl friends in the past
Girls from my generation usually seriously dislike any games and get angry when the guy plays them, even if she is off doing something else. And they also get angry that he wastes $60 of his own money on it, but is fine with her spending $400 on a tiny crappy looking purse that looks worse than a $20 Kmart one. lol
But the younger ones seem to enjoy gaming and usually don't get angry at the guy for enjoying them.
Not in my experience. There's a few who jump on the hate-everything-guys-do bandwagon, but most can really appreciate that you have fun and interesting hobbies. Plus points if you're passionate about it. Just don't be a full on fucking weeb or literal video game addict (actually addicted, meaning you literally only play games all day and do nothing else). Girls love passion, not obsession.
I will say I am in the minority. I don’t know many females around where I live that like those things. Me personally, I love playing video games (team PlayStation) and I love anime. I still watch plenty of Western shows and movies too, but I appreciate good anime. However, it seems like every time I tell someone I watch certain anime, they think that’s all I watch and because they think it’s weird, they think I’m weird too without getting to know me. Usually on a date if they find out I like anime, that’s the red flag. So I don’t usually tell people unless they ask and I watch my anime shows and movies in private because I hate having to explain every freaking detail to someone.
In response to the update on your question: I would prefer if a guy I’m interested in actually have interests and stuff he’s into. It means he has a personality. I would rather a guy I’m seeing spend his free time watching anime or playing video games than be screwing 20 other people on the side.
It’s one thing if he’s ALWAYS playing video games and watching anime but it’s another if he actually does productive things but also finds a specific time to relax and do the things he loves. I wouldn’t want him to be too productive to the point to where he’s always stressed out. Mental health is very important and I believe people should always take care of themselves and relax if they feel over worked.
No. I don't dislike anime or games. However I don't like every anime, just like I don't like every cartoon series or every movie or every TV show. It depends on what's the story about and how much I like the drawing and animation style. About videogames I'm very bad at them and I usually enjoy single player RPGs graphic adventures, puzzles and so.
For a relationship, it's ok to watch anime and play games together I love it, but I just hope that's not all we only do and share.
I used to love anime in my teens and I do consider myself a gamer (although I'm not into multiplayer shooter). My best friend is still a lot into anime and manga and she absolutely loves to play Overwatch xD so I think that I can disagree with you here :P
I actually watch some anime smts but i dont consider myself an otaku at all. Im not a fan or anything, i just like how they are so explicit and go around themes that in our culture are taboo. So i like drama, i like what u dont see everyday and plus i always liked cartoons, some anime are so beautifully drawn.
I like anime and am getting into games. But , I like anime for different reasons than guys. I like romance anime's , slice of life , slice of life with fantasy elements and complete fantasy. My favorite anime's are Re:Zero and princess tutu. Rem is my role model. I enjoy character interactions and the bright colorful aesthetic of anime , guys enjoy the action and narrative depth. The same thing with games , I enjoy the story and colorful setting, I started playing Horizon zero dawn and want to get Bioshock 1 and 2 and Nier.
That entirely depends on the girl - much like guys, we do each have our own hobbies and personalities and interests. Personally, I like anime and games (I don't particularly enjoy shooters though, they're really dull, I prefer strategy) , but not every girl is going to do so, same as not every guy will like that shit.
I like both anime and shooters but I know both men and women who know nothing about it so view it as childish and a waste of time. Just finding someone open enough or with similar interests is the best way to go.
I like gaming have around 200 odd games if not more I've collected over the years, it was cheaper to buy a game to have 50-100 hours of entertainment then it is to do something, I like shooters like gears of War I was never into the platformer type fighting/shooting but never really got onto the anime bandwagon
It depends on the girl. It's not personally my thing, but I know girls who like it.
As long as it doesn't completely consume a guy's life, I don't care too much. I've known a few guys, however, whose entire identities and lives revolved around games, anime, TV, music, etc. and they literally didn't have a life outside of those things, and that would be too much. Just keep it in moderation, at a healthy level.
While I like games (less so Anime), and there’s nothing wrong with being into them, I’m not going to say it’s an attractive thing for anyone to be into.
I find hobbies where you use your hands to make things to be the most attractive.
I love both games and anime! I am a fairy tail fan, your lie in April killed me, and I have wondered what happened to the death note after the end and of course I totally miss Goku and his weird but cool hair. For games, I like playing strategy and war games, just not too much though
Yes, not all of us. But I'm a sucker for games. As for anime, I'm looking for new ones, and looking for time too :( my 'to watch' list is just growing longer
at the start i enjoyed the idea of watching anime and playing video games, cause it just sounds super fun, right? But as I grew up I just did not care for such activities. I find real adventure more interesting.
I'm generalizing here, obviously. I know that there's such and such. But fact is also that there's a huge overlap between the anime and gaming community and Alt-Right trolls as well as incels.
But it's also that I'm super uninterested in playing video games. I can't imagine wasting hours every day doing that.
So if a guy mentions he plays games or you'd find out he does do you usually assume he does it for hours or just see and find out if he just plays them on some free times?
What do you mean by overthrow? What I'm saying is that usually (as in, in my experience so far) guys who are actively into gaming are generally not the type of guys I enjoy spending time with.
You mean a guy trying to date me? If he tells me he's into video games I'd get wary but I wouldn't assume anything. If I like him and he says he only plays occasionally and is not an active part of the community, I'd give it a try. But any signs of him having "gamergate" attitutes and I'm gone.
