Now, I think it's important that couples and prospective couples have the same interests, but how much does attraction hinge on finding a 'gamer girl' for you?

I'm not really an advocate of gamer girls in general.
Yeah, yeah, I once was, I know.
Now I'm bitter, old, and annoyed in general by everything.

At the list of things I care about in girls, interest in games is probably at the bottom. It's cool if she likes the occasional round of Mario Kart though, which I know a cute girl who does.
I have a good female friend who isn't socially retarded or ugly, yet is a huge fan of Resident Evil, and enjoys a number of other games. (Including 2D fighters.)
Sorry, but that = teh sexy.
I'm somewhat indifferent about a girl whose a gamer, but a girl who atleast appreciates and enjoys the occasional game is a big plus. There's nothing worse than sitting around on a lazy afternoon playing something like Suikoden or Front Mission 4, and have your girlfriend talking to you the whole time, expecting you to be hanging on every freaking word, then her becoming incredibly pissed when you tell her you didn't catch everything she said because you were knee-deep in 'customizing your wanzer'.
I dated my ex for six years, and I couldn't count the times that she complained about my gaming hobby or just put it down in general. She'd play a game every now and then, (Super Monkey Ball 2, Sims, or Dr Mario) but nine times out of ten she was having some sort of problem with it.
With that said, if I could find a girl that was cute and had a pretty decent interest in games, I'd ask her to marry me on the spot.
A girl being passionate about anything that I am also passionate about = sexy for me so...
I agree there, It's a bonus not really a reason to be attracted or at least in a long intimate relationship. If an annoying bimbo liked games.. and she was less than perfectly shaped, it wouldn't save her.Quote:

i have dated girls that like videogames though, that's pretty cool i guess. but an actual girl gamer, yeah, no good.

Tell me you wouldn't hit it...
let's see her face and a body shot and i'll give you an answer. from the looks of it though, i can do much better.
I know a "girl-gamer" that is possibly the coolest most attractive female I'll ever meet. None of those stereotypes that people give.
She's so pretty....

On the reverse side of things, I wouldn't disregard a guy if he wasn't into games. That's idiotic. A similar interest is a plus I suppose, but it seems like guys flip out a bit too much if a girl can play any game well.
Of course it's a plus if the girl I'm dating is into games, common interests are always a plus. It's not like she even has to be good at 'em, lord knows I'm not that great. But it's definitely not a requirement. However if the girl has a hardcore hatred for games and doesn’t even want me playing them ever then that's a huge turnoff. Hell, I've only went out with a couple of girls who hated games (who happened to be way hotter than the girls I'm usually with) most 'em can at least dig playing some Mario Kart or Pac-Man.
Pretty much how I feel - a girl can like games or be a nerd like me, and that's a plus, but there's just so much more to a person, so I can't say it's a big point.
Every girl I've had a relationship with has been into games to some degree (although my last ex was pretty much only into the Sims and RPGs). My current girlfriend is still stuck in 16-bit (things like Halo get her a mixed up), but she likes playing co-op games like Champions of Norrath and puzzle games.
As it is, she's better at the various 16-bit Mario platformers, since I have no patience for them anymore and just try to run everywhere. :sweat:
That all being said, it would be very hard to be with a girl who didn't at least appreciate gaming, for both of us. Since it's my hobby, and my art and career (hopefully) all tie into gaming, it's not like I'm just going to keep cool about because my s/o isn't interested. While you're snagging a gamer girl though, make sure she's a geek too, so she'll watch sci-fi and anime, go to comic book stores, and generally feel shunned by society with you.
Don't look for a "gamer girl" who wears Mega Man tees, plays fighting games, does DDR or falls into some preconceived notion of gamergirliness.
Just look for someone who respects you and your interests.
This is sig-worthy.Quote:

Exactly. All the girls I normally hang out with are normal people, that have interests outside video games, like dancing, art and whatnot, but all of them still play their 64, cube and/or PS2. It's hot.Quote:

My ex-fiancee was into videogames, and it was cool to have someone to co-op Halo with. In retrospect, I'd have prefferred for gaming to be my own personal escape from the world- particularly from women.
When the the phrase "isn't socially retarded or ugly" is used to describe a girl it always gives me a bad feeling...Quote:

I actually came pretty close to snagging a girl that was into Ikaruga. She was also a really big geek (dare I say a bigger geek than I?), and a total knockout, completely stunning. Slipped through my fingers though. Just my luck, I guess. Would have been a fantastic match: finally somebody to get some 2P Ika action in with... ;)
But naturally, this statement still holds:
Interest in videogames isn't enough. A far broader range of interests is much more preferable in the long run.Quote:

He doesn't want me to ignore him and play or to do any 2P action. So, I haven't really had much of a chance to play any games unless his friend BT is round - then I get to play without feeling guilty.
I'm pretty indifferent to the whole issue.
On one hand, it would be nice to share a hobby with a girlfriend, especially if she pays for her share of it.
On the other hand, gaming can be a great way to spend some alone time, or spend time with friends. If your girl is into games, then you can't really use it as an escape, at least not from her. And besides, girls usually have crap taste in games anyway, and most girl gamers that I've met are nippophiles or are into some other lame garbage. There are few things that creep me out more than a grown woman wearing a hello kitty back-pack.
Anyway, like so many others have already said, there are so many more important things to look for in a person that I don't think an interest in games is really relavent.
LOL! BT!! I will always call him that from now on. Or maybe B.T. Barracus.Quote:

I think it'd be better to have someone who can get along with my friends and at least stand my interests in the long run, once the initial infatuation starts to wear down.
Same exact thing happened to me.Quote:

Rules for dating a gamer girl
by Satsuki
Congratulations! You found a gamer girl. Hopefully she's a real catch, not 300+ pounds or a cosplayer, or both. Now, before you slap that wedding ring on her chubby finger, make sure of a few things:
1. Chances are, your girl hasn't touched a fighting game since her brother beat her ass at Street Fighter 2 turbo in the early 90s. Ween her onto the next gen classic fighters, while teaching her to chant "SNK is a great company, SNK is a great company." (or if you prefer, "SNK sucks, SNK sucks") And when you play MvC2, make sure that you explain "broken" to her, such as "Hey, look! I can beat your Jill with Cable in 3 hits. doesn't that seem unfair? That, girlfriend, is what as known as BROKEN. now you try, young padawan."
2. If your girl has the unfortunate advantage of being into Bemani, try and get her onto better musically inclined games. Lots of Betards look over the greats: Parapper, UmJammer Lammy, loads of obscure DC shit. Trust me, you'll get tired of her stomping around at 6am trying to GET PAST MAX 300!!!!!
3. Now comes the hard part. Chances are, your gamer girlfriend is also an *deep breath here guys* anime/japan fan. Now, that's all well and good as long as you are too, but if you can't stand the big eyed robo smashing singing dancing kawaii bakaness of it all, and the thought of getting married in a traditional japanese ceremony (even though you don't know a lick of japanese other than 'hadouken') disgusts you, you've got some work to do. A good tactic is to show her aspects of japan fans that suck. Show her how stupid throwing random japanese words into your everyday speak sounds(especially when pronounced wrong! They hate that.) Show her how more skin is not always best. (for added results, borrow her Sailor Moon costume and try it on. Exclaim "see how embrassing this looks!!!??" and get her to promise and never wear it again, except maybe during sex, you sick freak.)
and for the love of god, listen to me here guys- get her to realize that there are GOOD AMERICAN COMICS TOO. Slowly start replacing her manga collection with Batman:Year One, and maybe some added Tank Girl for luck.
4. Show her that RPGs don't just mean "Final Fantasy." or "Morrowind." There's better stuff out there. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
5. Here's a tough one for some of you to wrap your heads around, especially the gentlemen out there. Don't.Let.Her.Win. When you're playing a round of your favorite puzzle game, don't be the nice guy. She has the skills to beat you, and if she doesn't, she needs to learn by trying! Whoop her ass until she fights back, and promise to buy her ice cream once she beats you <3
6. And finally, perhaps the most imporant all around rule: Make sure she goes back and plays the classics. Not just Mario Bros and Tetris, but Blaster Master, Maniac Mansion, Castlevania, Contra, etc. Don't have a SNES or NES around? Emulate those bitches! Buy her a spiffy new USB controller to play them with. (Then while she's playing the classics, you steal the xbox and have some sweet, sweet DOAX time with the ladies. mmhmm.)
Bonus Tip~!
Just a pet peeve of mine- get the girlfriend to realize DOAX is a shopping sim, not just an "Oggle the ladies game." she learn soon enough.
So, thus closes Satsuki's rules for dating a gamer girl. I hope all goes well for you crazy kids and your love together, and when you have a kid, make sure they play baseball or something. That will keep them away from your playstation 10.
~the end~
That was crazy.
Say it with me: "SNK sucks, SNK sucks."
I PITY DA FOOL!!! YOU CRAZY MURDOCK! I AIN'T GETIN' ON NO PLANE! MILK? I'D LOVE SOME! WHA- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....Quote:

It's also important to be with someone that has a few divergent interests because sharing things you wouldn't have done alone helps you grow as a person.

Yup. You need to have things in common, but enough differences to keep things interesting.Quote:

While on the other hand she could do whatever.Quote:

If she likes games, that's cool. If she doesn't, meh. All I care about is whether we have shit in common and if she has a sense of humour. Games are just a part of me, not the whole.
Me and my current boyfriend are really into gaming, and it's great! Between the both of us we have about 700 DVDs, two 27 inch TVs, two Xboxes, two Gamecubes, 1 PS2, two computers, two sound systems and a shit load of games. He is more into PC gaming than I am, but it beats calling the Dell people when my computer fucks up. Two geeks together is nothing short of awesome. No going to chick flicks, we both like action sci-fi movies, he actually finds Futurama funny, all the other guys I dated thought it was stupid. We have a room in our apartment just for games, which is cool because we can play split screen Halo and not have to worry about "screen looking". There are good looking girl gamers out there, you just have to look. I am not fat, or smelly or weird, I just love games!
I don't know that my romantic side and my nerdy side mix very well. I'm probably better off without a gamer girl. It's a total non-concern for me.
I hate to admit it, but you're right. My ex loved the usuals (FF anything), but also VF. That was cute.Quote:

I generally feel like an asshole afterwards but it's still usually funny.Quote:

Not that this was actually funny, but I do hope you were kidding all the same.Quote:
More like "plus-sized"...
I used to play regularly with a (female) friend on XBL, and it was rare for a game to go by without some jackass calling her fat and/or ugly. Kind of amusing since nothing could be further from the reality, but even then -- pretty fucking ignorant.
Just mirroring alot of the posts in that its a definit plus if the girl is into games as much as I am. Though Ive never seen that. Save one girl who came into my game store and after her boyfriend(I assume) said something derrogatory about the SegaCD she spouted off games like Shining Force CD, Dark Wizard, Sonic CD, Lunar, Android Assault, ect.. She was also into Magic the Gathering. Oh, and she was hot. I really wish that guy wasnt with her. *sigh*
Thinking of it though, I guess it's like music and movies and so forth. I mean, right now its a question of whether or not they even like it, but as time progresses and more and more women get into gaming, it just more a question of taste. I mean, if I like a girl and find out that she is only into pop music, that tends to be a turn off, just because of my personal taste. If Im talking to a girl and she is into games, but only likes Tekken, The Sims, and Tetris, then we probably wont get along very well in that area. So I guess, if a girl is going to be into the same things I am, then I hope it also coincides with the same genre's.
It's a pretty big topic to get into because you also have to consider things like what a relationship means to the individual, how important it is that the two people are into the same things. For me a big part of a relationship with a woman is sharing with eachother our passions, so I would hope she would like what Im passionate about, and I of her passions.
Just because you can't find cute girls that play games doesn't mean they don't exist.Quote:

Yea, it seems all cool and awesome in theory, but I'm glad my time with my girlfriend is spent going out and actually doing stuff, instead of sitting at home playing the same game I was playing by myself or with friends anyways, or watching her play the same game I just played through.
My hobby is my own, and I don't think I could deal with another girlfriend who was just as much into games as I am. It was a definite overkill, and I've done it twice now, so I think I've learned my lesson.
The fact my current girlfriend dosen't bitch when I go to EB, dosen't bitch about me buying games, sometimes watches me play them on the tv when she walks by, and dosen't criticize me for my huge collection. That's all I can really ask for.
To clarify, it was your "OMG i'm marrying her" statement that provoked me. My last two serious girlfriends were seriously cute and seriously into games but seriously fell short of being wife material.Quote:

You know, I don't think I'd really care if a girl played or not. It wouldn't do a thing for me...
Now, show me a girl that can sing. Or better yet, a girl who knows her way around a mixing console and is talented with microphone selection and placement. Now we're talking major turn-on.

I hate it when girls call themselves "gamer girls". I'm a guy and I love to play games. Does that make me a "gamer guy"? No. It's stupid. I'm sick of girls who think they're special just because they play video games and have the mindset that "they're part of the minority, so they need to feel special about it".
But that's just me.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that's associated to girls that play alot more than the average. Heck, most of the girls I know game occasionally, even some play more then me, and they all look gorgeous. The point is, the term "Gamer-Girl" shouldn't really be applied as everyone plays games, I can't think of any girls who have never played a game of somesort, console or arcade, and enjoyed it, the term just doesnt show the degree of gaming a girl would be interested in, so its hard to define what one is.Quote:

We live together, so my personal ferocious apetite for games is kind of hard for her to escape. At one point I was playing around 30-35 hours of PSO a week (which is painfully easy to do), which didn't exactly go over well. On the flip side, I've now gotten her into the game and she has a lvl. 72 charcter that she plays more than I do at the moment. Granted, she's more into socializing in the lobbies with her little group she has than playing, but just the fact that I've got her addicted to it has gotten her off my back about it to a greater extent :D . In all, since I want to break into the industry as a programmer pretty soon, I've tired really hard to get her to play different types of games, and tried to get her to understand things like why some games are good and why others aren't, among other things. Oh and she loves Animal Crossing as well.
I wouldn't say I wanted to date her primarily because she actually played games from time to time...but her willingness to learn about them and to accept that they are such an important aspect in my life certainly helped.
Well here's the deal I figure, if you can maintain a life outside of videogames enough to get a g/f great. If they're into it to, excellent! Shared interests are fucking excellent, but I'm one of those fucktards who wants a friend AND a lover, and am therefor single for long ass stretches.

HOW TO MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU:
1) Be hot enough that I pay you attention. If I talk to you on a regular basis, then you have this part down already. If you ask me to go out and I say I'm washing my hair, then you've already failed.
2) Pretend you care about what I am talking about. This will generally be video games or how cool I am.
3) Tell me I'm really good at whatever it is I'm doing at the time. Lies are welcome.
4) Sleep with me.
5) You win!
One should feel comfortable with there own body. They just need to relize what it looks like and dress according. That seems to be a big problem with a lot of people.
I fall into the fat stereotype. (Though I have wonderful clear skin, never cosplayed, and bath regularly). For some people it just can't be helped. I have to watch everything I eat, and exercise all time. (Which I'm so tried most of the time it doesn't happen). No one really wants to be fat and most people who are over weight struggle with it. So I find a lot of the fat comments very cruel. I'm sure a lot of you guys are not in all that great shape. I also think there are a lot of very pretty girls out there with some extra weight. A lot of it is in how you dress.
Now with all that said. I like to date guys who are into games. Though everyone who I dated, except for Matt, liked the same kind of games I liked. Final Fantasy, King of Fighters, Puzzle games, ect. Matt has very different tastes in games then I do. But it's cool just means he plays his game and I play my own. Though I have been trying to get him to play The Age of Wonders 2: Shadow Magic, so we can do something together. (Now I just got to hook up my other computer to do it.)
It's nice to have someone who isn't bothered by you playing games all the time. Though I did drive him crazy with Animal Crossing, but uh, I kept waking him up with it. (Damn him being a light sleeper).
But as said before having some different interests is also very good, keeps things interesting. Well as long as they are interests I don't find annoying (there are just some things in life I don't like and I don't want to here about them).
Here, I'll do it for you.Quote:

Dating a woman who has had an interest in video games has never never been a plus or a negative in any of my relationships. It's just been sorta "there". Video games don't factor into who I see because it's not what I look for. What I look for is pretty standard-
Be intelligent.
Be cute.
Be interesting.
Be confident/Independent.
The last one, is possibly the most important one.

All I can say is it depends on the girl. I am a girl and Im not afraid to say I enjoy playing video games. I am married with two kids but everyone needs a stress reliever and thats what video games are for me. There is nothing like logging onto socom and shooting some people to make me feel better.
That whole thing was really creepy.Quote:

Ok, I did not really read this all the way through, but I did skim it. It seems like the best comments seem to be the right one. Having gaming interest is a plus, but most important is that she respects that you game (and how much you game). My wife, over the years, has turned more and more into a gamer, and before we got together she gave away all her games over time. I got her back into gaming through stuff that she use to like and then expanded upon it. Now she spends about 1/2 as much time gaming as I do (which is alot). But we did not get together because she gamed, we got together because she respected it as my hobby.
