To Date or Not to Date a Gamer Girl?

There has always been a question whether to date a girl that loves video games or not. Of course, many people believe that it would be quite interesting to date a geek with the same interests as you. Is that the smartest thing to do? Hmm? Now, from fellow gamers out there I heard that gaming girls are not that appealing to them, that they see them as just another gaming buddy but what brings them down about being attracted to a gamer girl? I asked a couple of professionals on this matter and came up with very intriguing confessions. First of all, before all of this I only intend to give the opinion of some people and some of my own, if you disagree, I respect that but don't let this get to your head.

Moving on, there have been claims that men must have a feeling of accomplishment on their hands and the last thing they want to do is get beaten by their girlfriend. Hmmm that does make sense but it still doesn't apply to the entire picture as there are guys(like me) who likes getting beat up by a girl(in video games of course, well in some other things as well but I won't go into that...). Furthermore, it's crucial for the man to feel like a man and be the dominant gamer so to speak. He must retain his throne even though he might get beat up playing online and in the last places of every online tournament ever held, he must be the top player of his home. There have also been claims that these geeky girls don't like to act girly at all and are more boyish than feminine...hmm well you got me on that one as there are quite a few out there like that but come on, make your conclusion when you see the girl naked please, that's still a woman. I personally find this ridiculous as there are boyish girls in every different “label” you can think of. Furthermore, girls will always be girls unless gay of course, which reminds me that there are a vast amount gamer girls that only like gamer girls...is that wrong? It's called lesbianism people! Let them be and move on! Going back to the point of a girl looking boyish, if you ask me, I don't find that bothersome at all as that girl can be your playing buddy in bed and in the screen...can you ask for more? Of course, there are those guys that are always looking for that “hot” girl with curves and what not but you have to face reality, chances are you are going to be getting into relationships you won't be happy in the first place and will end up hurt beyond belief, even gay if it's really serious. I suggest you look at them in other ways than the outside, really, are you that shallow? You have to look at yourself before judging and criticizing someone else. Anyways, you also have the other type of guys that rather keep their gaming life away from their relationship and therefore date and are with girls that don't know what a NES is. I'm not saying this is bad or anything because if it works then why not. I'm just saying that you have to know what you are getting into and stop lying to yourself if you are not going to be happy in the relation in the first place. Do you guys even know how turned on I get when a girl talks to me about retro gaming? That's just awesome because we can have a conversation for hours and hours on something we both love and cherish, I guess you can't have that with a girl that has no idea what you are talking about but in the end it's not all about connecting with video games. We are all different in what we are looking in our lives and should be careful before portraying people as a bad stereotype and going with everyone else opinions and just count your own. In the end, just go with what fits, dating a girl that likes video games or not has both it's positives and negatives so to confine them all with just a theory would not be the smartest thing to do.


To conclude, my whole point is to protect all these girls getting bashed by bad stereotypes and open these guys eyes to the beauty any person can have on the inside. There are many things out there that are more important than looks so get to it! I know would date a gamer girl, would you?

I personally don't feel that it would be bad if my wife would have been a gamer. In my case, I could care less if I lose to her (she plays Rock Band), it would be if she played single-player games that took up my time to play games that might bother me. However, since she's not a gamer I guess I'll never know.
