Ha those peoples are jerksk :p
I think you are great that you play the game, and that game should not be a male oriented business. Although I am dissapointed that your bf is nub and don't play starcraft, show him how to will you?
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

I dunno, I think I'm weird in that, even though I love playing games, and most of my friends do to, I'm much more attracted to girls that don't. Opposites attract, no?

edit: also most of the "girl gamers" that I know have boyfriends that aren't really into it at all.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

i wouldn't want my gf to be a hardcore sc gamer mostly because heck, i don't even want to be a hardcore gamer. it's just something to do for fun.

but with that said, having a gf/bf who enjoys the same things you do is awesome regardless of what it is. if you really like sc and your bf really likes it too, then props to you. however, gaming addiction is bad for life .

for wahtever reason, my friends irl tend to come talk to me and get advice on things, and they like to put pretty good weight on what i think even though all i ever say is how they can consider different ways of looking at the problem. on several occasions, i really had to be honest, and what i suggested was not what would have been awesome for me. for example, telling hot chick friends to do what's best for them even if it means we'll be able to hang out less, etc, or deciding that being friends is better than being gf/bf because in some cases, being close friends is more beneficial than being in a relationship. i guess what i'm saying is that in my case, if my gf really loved sc and was a hardcore gamer, and asked me if i liked that she played sc, i'd have to say that she needs moderation. it's what's best i think. whatever happened to hiking, and taking walks the long way to the store, and stuff like that.

socially speaking, opposites don't really attract. it's more like 'birds of a feather flock together'.
can't making a relationship last longer than 2 weeks, since 1984 :thumbs:

No. Just... no.

I know a few couples who are both gamers, but usually they play different types of games separately and then social games (like using the WII) together or with friends - it seems like a pretty balanced kind of gamer/gamer relationship. Personally I wouldn't mind dating a gamer seen as right now I have very little time for gaming myself (except for the odd session on MGS or Silent Hill every couple of weeks.) I don't think I could date someone who only gamed though - it'd get a bit repetative after a while. I also don't think I'd date anyone in general right now because it'd get in the way of my own goals/tight schedule -_-;

I would feel very unattracted to someone if they played games more than they do other things. I hardly play starcraft now, and I have to admit, I would never find playing 3-4 hours a day cool. It's unsocial, and keeps me locked away from the real world.

I am an introvert, so I can't stand being around a lot of people, but I would rather hang out with one or two friends than play a game. The game comes second, other people come first. Playing for hours with a bunch of plastic mice, keyboards, and a computer monitor is not what I would find a high priority . Instead, it's something to do in my spare time, while I have nothing else to do.
