Congratulations on reaching this thread. In the rare event that you are in grandmasters league, have a scorching hot girlfriend, and somehow avoided the terrible stench of being a gamer, please refrain from telling us about it. The 10 pages of people informing us that they do, in fact, have sex should provide enough of a counterexample to any non-believers.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Sounds like something you'd hear out of an 8 year old.

When I met my wife, I told her I was a gamer. She didn't believe me. When we moved in together and I had 5+ consoles and played PC games all the time, she was in disbelief. She thought I was very "normal" in that I wasn't socially awkward, I had hygiene, and was overall a regular guy.

That being said, this stereotype isn't without merit. I know a lot of gamers who are horribly awkward, who have no personal hygiene and would never talk to a girl unless it was unknowingly on the internet. I understand the frustration some may feel here, because it's never nice to be put in a box (for some of us, a box we have been fighting to eliminate).

Just brush it off really the best thing you can do is to just live your life and break stereotypes by existing.

That's not the news.
It's yellow press on TV. The program isnt even the RTL news.
There's alot of positive coverage concerning gamecom on German news.

so they went to a games con and filmed to the ugly guys? I could go to the Mall of America and get like 10x the footage of disgusting chicks if I cut the film to paint the picture I wanted. Does that mean that all chicks who love to shop are ugly, obviously not.

I fart a lot, often on my gf in bed, then we roll around laughing for 5 mins choking in gas, its awesome.

Who would want a girl so prude as the one in the video? Everyone know that models are f***d in the head. Try going on a diet for years and you'll see what it does to you. At least gamers are real, not blindly following the trends of their time. How poor the world would be if everyone were like her...

Those are very wise words my friend, possibly wiser than you recognize. It was the mindset of Ghandi, among other people, to live as an example, to live as you want the world to be like.

Thank you @Flanagan, too. Very beautiful post expressing what's been on my mind as well.

Honestly, I think it's more often than not true. I don't believe I fit the description but since my current job has me selling electronics in walmart, 9/10 of the kids buying pc games are actually quite smelly and clearly not very clean D: I'm serious. Console gamers seem to be the more "casual" gamers and don't quite fit the description near as much though. Still, you can't stereotype all gamers like that, I always smell great :3 so do my nerd friends (nohomo)

Haters gonna hate man. It's so easy to stereotype and generalize. It's her loss really, she's not gonna ever meet any great TLers ^_^
