And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."

Okay, did you ask her(your past real relationship) IF it was really video games that made her break up with you? If so then she is not worth it at all, trust me. If your in a relationship where the relationship wont let you be yourself and be proud of it then you will definitely regret it.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT saying this, don't go all full nerd on her like, "Hi I like you and I play starcraft, did you know that marauders do yadayadayada and that the physics of hills are different by a radius of yadayada baneling baneling baneling"

But mostly, the real reason why actually most girls break up because of video games is because you don't find enough time for her. I've had past relationships get angry with me because of this. Or maybe she find that you were a bit over excessive with it.

And if you ever feel like girls and Starcraft can't mix then Geoff needs to do more showing off.

Um....how about you just don't give a crap about someone's obviously uneducated opinion about one of your hobbies? Do you really think that you're going to have a fulfilling relationship with someone who wont even tolerate something you enjoy doing?

I don't see why this is even an issue. Just stick your nerd badge out in the open and be done with it. If people disregard you, for that reason, then more fool them for their ignorance.
You'll end up meeting someone who doesn't care/is interested eventually and you shouldn't settle for anything less that that.

A lot of guys play starcraft...

Kidding. If they don't embrace you and your love of SC, they're not worth it. It's OK if they HATE SC, but if they dump you because of it, no. Kick em.

a lot of girls aren't interested in video games. instead you should get them interested in you (that is qualities which girls find appealing) and after you've nabbed them then introduce them to the video game. works for me when i used to go out on the prowl /shrug (I don't anymore because i value money more over women for the moment)

also you're 19, i wouldn't sweat "whether or not you'll find someone" since you're basically a baby age wise

Well. You should probably not tell your girl that you are into Esports until she knows you better and is your gf.

You've got plenty of time to find someone, just take it easy for now and if they can't accept you for who you are then they aren't worth it.

You should of stopped her there and pre-emptively rejected her.. total turnoff. Ew.

So my questions is am I doomed to have to hide my passion of gaming forever? Do I have to the hide the fact that I'm in my colleges CSL team and one of he best players on the team?

You don't have to hide anything. You just have to find a way to let close-minded people know in a more sincere way, like slipping it in while talking about their interests.
Say you meet a girl who enjoys watching Jersey Shore un-ironically, you could be like; wow, that's really interesting. It's cool that you're so passionate about things you like. I like Starcraft like you like watching orange people on TV.


Or you could just wait to meet people with more depth.

If Starcraft told me to go for the game instead of the girl I'd go for the game.

She doesn't have to love it as much as you. She doesn't have to sit and play it. Nor watch it for hours on end. Your gf does, however, have to accept you and what you enjoy if she's going to stick around.

But if this girl's that stupid/shallow then she's not worth your time.

DO NOT HIDE THIS SHIT. Be a fucking man and take some pride in yourself and the things you enjoy. There are girls out there who will either get right into it with you, or accept it and love you all the same. Don't compromise yourself.

It's in the way you present it. If you go and tell her you play 4 hours a day you will get rejected. Rightfully so. You can make it interesting by saying well yea i play this and it is very competitive and big in korea ( wow sounds exotic bla bla ). Just make it sound interesting instead of the personality leeching lifedump that it is. Now go on and get urself some herpes.
Being a ho doesn't automatically make you "immoral" or a bad person, but it does make you a ho.

Unless you ARE lazy and a slouch because of starcraft then don't fucking change for this bitch.

If you like starcraft you like starcraft. let her deal with that if not go to MLG and ask the first female you see and ask if she'd like a nydus in her main. If she doesn't mind a slow siege push into her expansion...

It's all in the way you frame it when you explain it. The cultural stereotype associated with video games is that it's something that people do as a way to avoid real life responsibilities, and is essentially a frivolous waste of time at best or an unhealthy addiction at worst.

If you don't actively deal with these misconceptions when the issue comes up, that's how you'll be perceived. You have to explicitly point out that these are misconceptions, that Starcraft is an incredibly deep and complex game (perhaps use Chess analogies), mention how big it is in Korea, and that for you it's no different than how people can be passionate about any other sport, how it can become an activity with great personal meaning and value for many reasons.

Essentially, if you don't explain from the ground up what it actually is and what it means to you, and are too vague when you bring it up, they'll almost certainly end up filling in the blanks with their own negative preconceived ideas.

Don't bother trying to go out with someone where you have to hide your hobbies. You'll be unhappy.
