Very unbecoming and girls can smell it a mile away? Plus are you officially a psycho now with the decapo comment. haha
And not all gamer girls want flowers.
There are mixed feelings for them.
Pros:
They play games. They're girls. They like sex, hopefully as much as you. Boobs. Knows the differences, however subtle they are, between SFII Hyper Fighting and SFII Hyper Fighting Remiz. They usually have a DS.
Cons: They play games when you want sex. They're girls. They frequently play games on YOUR system. They stick Viva Pinata achievements on YOUR GT. Frequently does not like sports games. They want to do stuff like antiquing, instead of leveling up. They probably know how to use a computer, and consequently, can easily find your normally well hidden porn partition on your computer. She wants a DS lite, pink at that.
Yeah bad part of gg...there is a good chance they are playing a game when you want to.
pah, you don't want a gamer girlfriend, they suck.. or they don't, too busy. They'll sleep around and fuck off. You want a girl who doesn't care about games and is tolerant, one who can learn.
A gamer girl doesn't want the kind of thing your talking about, there all whores! They usually also have massive balls and can kick ur ass. Ok, just I'm talking "in general", which is essentially out my ass, but hey. It's all IMO.
Be gay, much easier.
Oh, my official stance... I would prefer one who likes games, but would easily settle for one who tolerates gaming as a legitimate hobby, and not as a sign of desperate loneliness.
I have a friend who's wife not only tolerates his gaming habits, but also used to be an assistant manager of a Gamestop. It was great for scoring free gaming shit.
Where's D?
I want a girl who is "tolerant" of games meaning she likes to watch and occasionally jump in here or there.
The only game I want a girl to play is "hide the weenie with her mouth." Classy, I know, but then, that's what they expect of me.
Well done sir.

My girlfriend is into gaming, but isn't obsessed about it. She doesn't go on gaming sites looking for all kinds of info and sweating release dates like I, and some of you do. She asks me if anything cool is coming out, I tell her what I'm looking forward to. If I can find a cool trailer or vid, I show her and she lets me know if it's cool or not.
For example, I showed her the Haze trailer and she's very much interested even though she doesn't like first person shooters. She watched me play Bioshock for hours and was really into it, but not as something she'd want to play.
I treat her right, I buy her flowers, I take her to dinner and I don't ignore her because of my gaming. Hell, she pre-ordered Assassin's Creed for me, just because.
bleh, im just sick of getting nagged off of my games to go get coffee, ice cream, and all that other boring bs. i guess the grass is always greener on the other side, but i really wouldn't mind playing on that lawn....
My wife is a gamer and tolerant of my gaming. She's more hardcore than me at RPGs (140hrs in FFX, 120 in FFXII) and loves co-op games.
She lets me have my game time and then we have designated date nights where neither of us game or goof off and we spend time together.
I got lucky, I admit.
-D-, your situation is the exact one i am envious of.
can easily find your normally well hidden porn partition on your computer.
But can she decrypt my porn partition? That's the true test.
My wife likes to watch my play games, but doesn't ever join in on the fun unless it's a party game or some licensed bullshit.
watch *me* play games. And I should also point out that joining in on the fun for licensed bullshit is rarely, if ever, fun. It's more of an exercise at seeing how long she can go without throwing a control.
I gave up on relationships...
To much bull shit..
Neonie, aren't you still a bit young to give up on relationships? ;)
Girls do cost you time and money though, which you could spend on that nice tv or console... It's just a cost-benefit thing imho. If you only care about the sex, then just get some attention-whore or high-maintenance gamergirl, then never take them out or anything; you'll get tired of eachother and find someone else, and you'll save time/money/resources in the progress. It would not give you the good ending though.
Girls are totally so ghay.
It's hard, but don't go being all specific, don't forget that most girls don't like games, and most girls think they don't like guys who like games.
My wife is not a gamer, but she is fairly tolerant of my gaming hobby. I still get shit if I buy too many games and don't finish them. But, she's into the Wii and the DS a little bit with the very casual titles (WiiSports, Brain Training). She doesn't like to watch me play so much and usually goes off and does some work or emails. Then again I haven't been playing much lately with a good story so I imagine it's difficult for her to be interested in Motorstorm.
A gamer girl was always interesting to me, but there were so few of them I never really ran into them anywhere locally.
Anyway, I wouldn't go specifically looking for a girl who likes games. You'll have to have at least some other things in common anyway for it to really click. Besides, as someone said above, sometimes gaming is good for alone time. Everybody needs some time alone every now and then. Especially when you're married and you live in a small hut.
Ya not to brag too much but I have a fiancee that is a gamer.
I'm pretty damn lucky, she woops my ass at tetris and carcassonne.
I supose I am speeking from the other side, but it would be horrible if both the hubby and I were not in to gaming. Yeah, couples should have their own hobbies and such, and we do outside of gaming. Its awsome to sit and play a game together instead of paying to go out to movies and stuff.
And yeah, not all girls like flowers (or the pink DS). I hate flowers. My hubby does not buy me flowers anymore because they die and cost so much I could have had a game or two instead...lol
And to solve any problems with sharing the systems, we have the game room, and then duplicates of most of the systems out in the living room, so we just switch rooms when we want to play something specific. It helped that we each had our own systems when we got married...lol
I know a friend who's a gamer girl (and has a great relationship) but also enjoys classic games. For one, she also has a bevy of an nes collection. She does keep up with current games, but loves 2D a bit more. Whenever I chat with her, you never know what game she's been taking on the other day.
@Pew
No actully thats just my point.
I could give a shit less about sex (I r celebit and have been since I was born).
I just see absolutly no motivation to get into a relationship. I don't want sex, they cost money. Everything about it is just a negative in my book.
@Neonie
you're a curmudgeon
@Neonie: they have their nice sides too outside of the physical realm, I'm sure you'll one day meet a nice gamer fox of a girl.
Damn you destructoid, your nerdcore keeps teasing me.
when guitar hero came out i shunned it and said never. I'm not gonna play some stupid plastic guitar! One night at a friends house i saw something completely strange. My buddies girlfriend picked up the the plastic axe. I'm thinkin here comes a lesson in futility. Two seconds later she had picked the Shadows fall song the light that blinds on hard. I swear i didn't blink the whole time she played. She destroyed it completely. I am not talking about did well for a girl, I mean she made that song her bitch!
a week later a commercial comes on and its for guitar hero II for 360 I a say "that'd be fun to get two guitars and play together" to my wife. She informs me her friend had it and she had played on ps2 at a girl party but didnt tell me cause she didn't wanna here me bitch about how its not a real game. fast forward a month, she's kickin my ass cause i cant get my damn fingers to cooperate. then i remember she has had 10 years of violin. i love to hate her when we play that game. she is such a sexy bitch when she stands up for the solo's to rock out
@ -D-
I looked that word up and figure your probably on to something there...
Wowza, that is like woah.
Also I wuv you!
