Gamer Girls: A Plus?

[Brisco Bold]

The worse you treat her, the more she'll love you.

Jesus Christ is this ever true. It makes me sad.

My gf is so-so into games. When I started dating her she played the occasional round of system-linked halo w/ "the guys" (and wasn't horribly, horribly bad) and played a few things on her GBA SP ex bought her...things like Super Monkey Ball and Warioware; the usual chic-friendly stuff. 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 . 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.

Cause the last thing i wanna hear when i'm doing my thing is "Omfg yer playing that damn thing again!?

And this is when you be a man, and say "You knew about it when we first started dating, this is nothing new, so shut the fuck up about it or leave".

Sure, they might get pissed and actually leave once or twice, but they'll learn to keep their mouth shut if they want to stick around.

It's not rocket science.

1. Play a game with him.

2. Bang him.

3. Bring him a beer.

4. Repeat until you get sick of it and dump him.

burg beat me to a list =*(

but I'll make one anyway!

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.

1. Suck his dick while he plays Tenchu.

2. Make him a sandwich.

3. Repeat.

That is all.
