Do you mind if your partner plays video games?

Question

I really don't care as long as you show me attention. Play all you want as long as your bills are paid we are good we spend time together, let me play with them sometimes. How do others feel about their partner playing video games?

MrPickles13 · Accepted Answer

I do play video games and hope that a partner would be okay with that. I would always ensure that I spent time with them and would love to be able to play with them. We could make it fun and if living together you could even turn it into friendly competition like the loser does the dishes or whateverm which to me just seems like a little bit of fun. You could do naughty versions as well.

It's part of how I interact with my friends so it is important that I can play sometimes so I can spend that time with friends in one way as it's a good way to spend time with friends. As long as we communicate I don't see an issue. I'd also hope they would he okay if I didn't reply immediately. I would always read the message to make sure she was okay and if it was important she is obviously the priority.

Also I kinda like the idea of being able to cuddle up together and play a game. Like you could switch off due to various points like when you die or wahtsver just another way to spend time together and enjoy each others company.

I hope I've made sense. And I'd like to know your thoughts on what I've said. Would you be okay with a partner with those views and such?

Well it's much better than seeing TV. A video game is interactive and in some cases, it can be something both the partners can do

Me and my friends had a simple rule while playing single player games: whenever you die, the next guy plays until he dies.

So in this case, let's assume we are playing dark souls and if she dies, it's my turn baby 😂😂. This can be really fun

I'm a video gamer myself. Not only do I play video games for the fun of things, I also produce my own game play commentary work on my youtube channel. So I'm practically a gamer/camera operator/director/editor/producer and commentator. LOL

If anyone wants to check out my work, I'll let you all have a look at my channel here.

Now if I was in that position of being a gamer and in a romantic relationship, as much as I am a gamer,... I don't play around with my console ALL the time. I do other stuff as well that I do enjoy.

I do like to go out and do some photography shooting, gather with the guys to do stuff, I do go to the gym to put in a nice workout for myself. So far that's just the tip of the ice-berg at the top of my head. Go out to a restaurant or a club (provided if I have a shit-ton of cash), do some karaoke and again that's just at the top of my head.

If I was in a romantic relationship, I would give her the attention that she does need, so that way all of her personal, romantic needs are fulfilled, and she's happy and pleased. If she wants to game it out with me, I'm totally good with that.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

I am not much of a gamer but I would prefer if we can play together at least so that we can turn it into time spent together rather than away from each other. I'm not so interested in these video games that require a huge investment of time but I like the ones that we can play in short sessions together.

kellytheman · Answer

Most girls usually aren't big into video games but I try play a video game with them that I think to they might like. I have had gamer girls before and I kinda liked that but sometimes they play too long or too much to my liking. I honestly rather spend time with a girl then playing video games they are more fun lol.

SmokyOne · Answer

I'd be happy they did. Videogames are beneficial in a multitude of ways ranging from critical thinking, social skills, hand eye coordination, multiple target tracking (useful when driving) and so on. To the point that many colleges are incorporating videogames into the curriculum.

Here's a small example

Also playing co-op games with your partner helps communication and trust building. Plus it's fun.

My husband has a weekly Saturday night video game session with his friends. I'm sure he's also going to be playing way more video games now that I got a new job that'll have me out of the house 4+ nights a week lol

JosyJosy · Answer

It's a shared hobby so I wouldn't mind. You can talk about the same thing, play the same thing, watch eachother play, cheer him on when he's going strong, cheer him up when he got rekt for the xth time.
Right now we're both going through Hollow Knight and he watches me play darksouls 3 again.

Medicalbug · Answer

I don’t mind and I play them myself, but if someone is more interested in a game than he is in me, then I am out.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

I make it fun. Always find a way to play some strip game or something sexual.
My ex girlfriend used to watch me play games. My last one was Resident Evil Village. Their is a storyline to the game, so it’s actually interesting. Other than that, I rarely play games. It comes and goes.

Mary087 · Answer

I like video games too so it’s a plus as long as we have a balance.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I mind if he games more than 3 hours a day. I also mind if he games daily or weekly. Im more comfortable if the guy only plays a few times a month or a few times a year and only for a few hours a day. So its best i dont date a gamer

I’m currently playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on the GameCube.

DonkeyDan · Answer

I don't mind if they game for a few hours a week, but not daily and for hours at a time either.

EdgingChef · Answer

Absolutely not. Free time, hobbies, relaxation, or a mental reset. What ever you call it is extremely important and should always be respected. Just be sure to find time for one another. It's the health balance that is key.

Flower7 · Answer

I’m not a fan. Every guy I dated who was a gamer sat in front of the TV almost all day, had no interest in doing anything else, and gave me no attention during that time.

I only date female gamers who like difficult video games and play for large amounts of time daily. Non gamers and casual gamers are too boring to date.
