Girls who don’t like video games, have you tried them?

[Count_de_Monte_Volo]

I’m not talking about mainstream casual games on your smartphone like Angry Birds. I’m talking about proper gamers’ games with a controller in front of a tv or on the computer. If you didn’t try it, why not? If you did try it but didn’t like it, why?
Girls who like games are also welcome to comment and guys who have witnessed girls around games.

I don’t like/care about them but never tried them.

I tried them and don’t like/care about them.

I do not mind videogames as a way to fill a few minutes when you have nothing to do, but I do not like videogames where you have to focus on it and pay attention and can't pause or be interrupted. My fiance still plays a game like that sometimes with his old college friends and it really bugs me because he acts like the world might blow up if I get in front of the TV or ask him to help me with something. I try to be understanding but I mean, these are videogames, they should not get in the way of actual life?

I love video games, but in the case of my best friend she just don't have an interest anymore. She also finds it strange that a woman like me is playing GTA IV, GTA V, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, AKA games made for males as she says considering most protagonists are male lol.

40-50 percent of gamers are women. Take out the smartphone and you lose 15%. So 25-35% of gamers are women. All the women out there causing havoc and are losing their man to his "gaming buddy" ought not assume she can't throw it like a quarterback, too. Maybe pick up the controller and ask him to show you his favorite game or one he thinks you can play TOGETHER. Watch yourself get 30% hotter at a MINIMUM, and watch/hear about all his buddies/workmates tell him how luck he is.

I've never really enjoyed or got interested into videogames after the age of 16.

Sometimes I watch my wife play, but I get bored pretty easy. Tried playing a bit, but I get bored after some ten minutes.

I used to play games like mario, the sims, mortal kombat, bully, and easy games growing up. But after 19 I really don't enjoy them as I used to, I can play for an hour maybe, mostly for the nostalgia, but I don't enjoy it so much. I prefer watching my boyfriend play games I want to see as a movie.

It's not that I don't like them, its that I never had the opportunity to learn so I basically avoid them now. My skills are probably worse than those of a 5 year old.

[Princess3335]

I've played GTA which is my favorite video game especially because you can go on fun missions, and speed with cars.

[katiesmuff]

I've tried them and think they are just a huge waste of time!

[DizzyDesii]

Yes. Its not that I dont like them. I just outgrew them

[Nikki1989]

I have tried them, instant boredom.

[Adam1978]

You clearly played the wrong game for you.

[Jltakk]

I don't care much for video games either. I've been so focused on life problems that sitting down and playing a game has me feeling like I am wasting my time when I could be doing something actually productive with my time.

[DancingQueen16]

I tried playing a video game with my brother once but I wasn't very good at it

[Babygirl_S]

I have tried and I find them incredibly boring.

[SillyLizard]

I consider myself a decent gamer. I'm up to trying any game at least once.
