You forgot one where BW and SC2 are completely different games and thus cannot have any forms of comparison on any level or aspect.

OP I don't think you can grab the few people who do bother posting negative comments about girl blogs and then just generalise that to the entire TL forum population. I seriously doubt that most forum users value starcraft to the extent that they have to extend it out to all of their relationships.

Basically, woman hate. I mirror the sentiment that you're over-analyzing. It's not that relationships with women are competing with Starcraft time, at least not in the girl blogs I've read. It's nice just to say what's going on. In fact, I think I'll make my first girl blog pretty quick here.

Be excited.

The OP should read a blog if thats what he thinks.

Most of the Girl blogs are either :
1) Get the fuck over yourself
2) Shes a bitch and was just using you
3) Just ask her out stop being a pussy
4) Congrats you asked her out and now your life will be good for abit.

The 4th one is more rare than the others though.

Most of the time they dont even hate on the girl in the OP

It's not misogyny it's trolling.

Happens in every community that has these characteristics:
Anonymity + Immaturity + Majority male = Aggressiveness towards women

Not because they hate women, but just because they're trying to show off. It's just kids going "look at me plz plz look at me".

Not many girls here -> Boys expected to droll over the few girls -> So I'll tell everyone how special I am and will curse them instead -> Plz look at me I'm special, I don't droll for girls like the rest of you

Really, it's just kids looking for attention. Nothing else.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but the point still stands.

One terrible example but your point still stands?

Do you have anything valid to support your claim?

The supposed need to balance Starcraft time with time spent with the opposite sex.
This is a rather strange point, simply because most TLers believe that Starcraft is so precious that any time that is not being devoted to Starcraft is time that is useless and boring. To stimulate the mind of the Starcraft gamer the average TLer seeks the companionship of the opposite sex

This is preposterous. I routinely play StarCraft while having sex with my girlfriend.

I have to balance my laptop on the small of her back to do so, which in turn gives her some atrocious burns, but the things it does for my APM are truly legendary:

My SC2 APM is somewhere around 200-250 (spam and sloppy misclicks are still APM folks)
My sexual APM is at least another 200-250 (spam and sloppy mistakes are still sex APM folks).

As a result, the two activities combined gives me an effective APM in the region of 500. This means that, by suddenly stopping paying attention to having sex, I can momentarily transfer that extra 250 APM, giving me the added control I need to handle my zerglings just right.

+ Show Spoiler +

In sex as in SC2, sustained APM is never a problem for me: I six-pool every time. She claims it's BM, but a win is a win.
