Here's the thing about niche interests that we use to define ourselves.

They can either be a crutch or signify intense interest.

The term "gamer," ideally, connotes a strong passion for video games. But there's a difference between being passionate about something, i.e. treating it like an art or a skill to hone, and being an addicted bum. This is the line "gamers" walk. Quite honestly, I see more fall into the latter category than the former. Simply identifying with a large group gives one a sense of community and allows one to ascribe traits of others onto themselves. It allows one to grow complacent.

When it comes to being with other people, I've found that in my experience it really doesn't matter what the niche interest is. As long as someone is passionate about something, they tend to be enjoyable to be around and talk to. This is true for others as much as it is true for yourself, so be passionate about something.

A "gamer" can give you great insight into what it feels like to compete in the same way a "musician" can give you great insight into what it feels like to convey emotion through an instrument, or a "writer" can discuss the delicate harmony of adept elocution.

How many of us have felt absolutely moved when Day[9] speaks of video games? He's a "gamer," but more importantly, he's fervently and emotionally invested in his interest.

Don't limit yourself to "gamers."

Rather, seek out someone who is passionate about something. Chances are they'll also have that motivation to get out of the house you so value as well.

I believe it. I'm a finance/business major and I've spent countless hours studying accounting. It's a lot tougher than most people imagine.

Hey girl, just find a dorky dude who likes sports... problem solved. Seriously, I know a few people like the one you are describing, there's not much point - give an ultimatum and just go.
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

I love that quote by HawaiianPig There is a difference between being passionate for gaming, and being an addict. Your roommate is an addict not someone with a passion or drive for a bigger goal.

I think you should seriously consider living alone there. I know a lot of people stay in relationships because they fear being alone (been there). However, staying with the wrong person IS worse. You're not going to get what you want/need by staying (it's doubtful he'll change anytime soon). Start hanging out with the people you work with from time to time. Don't worry about finding another guy right away; instead try to make some friends.

There's nothing wrong with gamers/nerds/whatever. The problem is slackers (people without "life" goals). [spoiler]I would say "unmotivated" but often such people are very motivated... at the wrong things[spoiler]It's important that you be with someone willing to live in the real world with you - someone independent. (You're very right about the different goals and different lifestyle being problematic.) I went through a similar stage in a relationship (I was the gamer you described). I started falling into similar patterns in my current relationship for a little while (we moved to a new country and I had nothing to do but game and got very lazy about rl). It took my brother getting divorced for me to realize that I needed to actually work to keep my wife too.

After reading your description of him, it became quite clear why he treats the relationship between you and him with disregard. He is spoiled, which is a product of him getting anything he desires without any exertion on his part. It is absolutely no surprise that this would also apply in his relationships. A relationship takes effort and he has no practice in giving effort to gain anything.

Hmm. This is the most intelligent response thus far. Thank you. This was perfect.. and I think exactly what I needed to hear... er, read.

I'm passionate about gaming, and that's what attracts me to guys who also enjoying gaming (especially esports) like I do. It is unfortunate that they tend to fall into that latter category. It's really not that surprising that my luck has been this way.

You're right. I think being open minded will be my key to the future. I'm not going to limit myself.

This is a really, really good point. You're so unbelievably correct, I hadn't really thought of this before. That's absolutely why he treats me the way he does. Also, knowing what I know about him (that I didn't include in my description) this speaks volumes about his personality.

Thanks! I plan to start posting in some of the girl related relationship blogs I come across. The number of female posters is a bit lacking, so I feel like I could possibly provide some insight!

This is true, freedom is a wonderful thing, also living alone isnt for everyone, but omg its amazing. Also, maybe your trying to hard? i mean, you shouldnt have to say "i guess i should't date gamers anymore'' or w/e, the person you date should be whatever and whoever they want, it shouldnt be, "well i like sports, so my bf/gf has to like sports", it should be more natural than that, the best relationships come out of the blue, almost at random, without looking for them. Although the single life is awesome, i dont have to go clubbing! so happy!

Offtopic but I couldn't help to ask... How did you get that elephant icon???

To answer the OP: In my opinion, the relationship is doomed. Considering that you sound like a girl who's achievement orientated, I feel that you can't last too long.

You can leave him and open his eyes, or you can just leave him and don't care about him. It depends how much you love him and if you think you have a future with him. Good luck!

Firstly, post a picture of yourself. Secondly, I can tell from reading this blog that you were initially attracted to him because he had balls. He sounds like an alpha who holds his ground and doesn't give a shit about what people think of him.

I'm not trying to be harsh - but merely stating a fact of reality.

For guys, what they look for in a chick is 90% about looks, 10% personality.

So if you're looking for a new partner - it doesn't matter if you work in a female dominated industry. If you are hot, guys will naturally hit on you in the street. If you are not hot, then unfortunately this is going to be an issue. If you want a new partner you'll need to work on your looks.
