How to get a girl into gaming -- a GAF editor's perspective

The tone I get is "Dear GAF readers. You are complete, clueless losers. Here's Bonnie's 5 step plan to get you a girlfriend."
.

After reading through threads about the sheer amount of "virgins, still living at home" on GAF, she may be right.

You know you're posting this on the offical forum for gaming misogynists, right?

This author sucks at life, and so does GA. I do not see what the news here is.

has it occured to her that some people don't like gaming girls becuase of shit like this? They are like those feminist groups that hound you everyday about being sexist.

I think for the good of humanity, gaming girls should stay far, far away from gaming guys.

I think that is really stupid, How to get a girl to game.... I mean really if you need an artilcle to tell you that you probably need instructions to put on your shoes or to do anything else!

Nah. Chicks and guys are different enough... if the middle ground is games, makes for a better relationship, more in common, something to do together that you both like.

Why would anyone even want to do this? The little time I have to play games anymore is my relaxation time, and it would annoy the shit out of me if someone was always trying to get in on it.

Bam! That's it exactly. A small slice of pure, private escapism.

Some guys see it as a way of "killing two birds with one stone". You should spend some time with your woman, but you also want to spend 2-3 hours a day playing games. So, getting her to play along seems like a logical answer.

I have tried this .. I even went as far as getting a Gamecube (she is more apt to play Mario Kart/Monkey Ball than Dynasty Warriors/Baldurs Gate) with Donkey Konga and even DDR (ugh). She plays for about 20 minutes and gets bored. Oh well.


EDIT: How annoying is this huge ass sig?



Anyway you can convert in into a BMP so it is completely rediculous?

This article was teh suck. I'ved tried to get girls into gaming a couple times in the past, failed my ass off. Even with girl friendly games. Shit even then all they would care about IS girly games. Who the fuck wants that shit? To sit around and watch your girl play Harvest Moon? Screw that.

If you find a girl and she's into games, great, if she's not oh the fuck well.
