EPT"Gamers smell bad and dont have time for girls.." - Page 5

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. | ||

 . But myself I was in a top 100 world (Titan US) raiding guild during BC in WoW. I am currently diamond league in SC2 and I have had a girl friend for 4+ years and I shower daily :D I also exercise 3-4 days a week.I do however wish that people would stop spreading this kind of garbage because anyone that has a passion for games instantly gets this label and people spreading it with mass media in this way is not good. | ||

That being said here is another interview with the blonde girl who claimed in the first video how gamers would never shower and don't pay attention to their appearance.... In this video she is asked about her opinion on the closing of the trainline between Berlin - New York and she says that she thinks that it's unfortunate :D.... I think that shows obviously how serious we should take any opinions coming from this direction Hahaha, now I'd totally bang her, she's dumb as fuck. | ||

Jack's favourite way to spend his weekend is to go to the movies with his friends, hang out at some cafe, maybe do sport. Sam's favourite way to spend his weekend is to invite a few friends over, play games till 4AM, wake-up at 1PM and play some more games. Which of these two teenagers are most likely to take a regular bath? Also, which one would be the most likely to get a girlfriend or care about personal grooming? Like I said in my previous post, the gamer stereotype is becoming weaker as the number of people who game gets bigger, but there's a reason why it exists. Not that I think it's all bad. Personally, what Jack does over the weekend sounds shit-boring to me, and to be honest I don't care too much if I live like a slob for short periods of time. When you interact socially you should put effort in to make yourself socially presentable, but if you're relaxing at home or with some close friends, it's not that big a deal. Still, that's what leads to the stereotype  Bolded for emphasis. The thing I don't get about that is that this is not a phenomen that appeared with gaming. I don't know anyone(women included) who makes the effort to be clean, well-groomed and well-dressed when alone or with friends at home. | ||

I freaking cant understand, how they can generalize all the gamers out there. Thats the same thing, if I visit a football game in england or the east of germany and interview some hooligans and nazis and then I say : Ok all footballfans are like that, they are dump, love violence and hate jews. None would do that, and if they would, the fifa would kick their ass. Why dont we kick their ass for beeing so ignorant and stupid? Well our biggest daily news-paper does this. But austria is like "The Redneck South" of the german speaking world. | ||

And while I know the stereotype that gamers "don't have time for girls" is also incorrect in plenty of cases, I find it much more disturbing when people actually value that for others. It exceeds the primal ignorance of insulting someone for not being able to get a girlfriend, and goes so far as to insult someone because they don't want a girlfriend. It seems that insulting someone because they can't get a girlfriend when they want one is nothing compared to what an embarrassment to the human intellect these individuals have mustered. | ||

I'm surprised this wasn't made by Frontal 21 (TV show that has bashed the gaming scene several times) | ||

I want to present an article about the Gc2011 shot by RTL 2 a big german television company. (in german, maybe some1 can translate it) Basicly what there are saying is : - Gamers smell - They dont have girlfriends - They are addicted to games and because of that dont care how they look -(insert any gamer predjudice) Whats your oppinion about that? For me, im pretty offend by that arcticle and think, we should do something against it. Do responses, show em how heterogen the gamingcommunity is. For all you fellow german gamers out there, you can help by follow what this guy is offering : (also in german) I will spread the word in every german gaming community and hope they all will respond. Feel free to leave a comment. Greetings, BeWat3r p.s pardon my bad english, I hope you can understand what im trying to say :-) Edit. Some follow liquid member did send me that video : http://www.gamona.de/videos/gamescom-2011,spiele-babes-und-sensationen-best-of-gc-video:video,1975926.html# At 12 min you can see the nice hostess again :-) I just say one name: Grubby That guy has a girlfriend , he is a succesful gamer, and he is pretty handome. So yeah, fuck stereotypes | ||
