Poll: Gamer Girlfriends

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I'd love to have a gamer girlfriend. I'm asexual but I get lonely...But yeah, a gaming girlfriend would be a god-send. Wake up, breakfast, casual games, lunch, hardcore games, bed, handhelds for a bit, "go for the high score" (You know what I mean) and then sleep. Paradise.

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

Kinda...she liked the art style and played a bit of RPG, was good cause I love JRPGs and she loved looking at JRPGs, we got on pretty well...just I'm not too good a boyfriend so yes complications arose...nothing to do with games though, just me.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Sorta. My ex liked Mario Kart and Guitar Hero (though for some reason was unable to use the guitar controller, but kicked ass with the regular controller).

 

[Natural Philosopher]

I have a best friend (female) who games xD thats about as close I get lol. I would love my girlfriend to be a gamer though if its anything similar.

 

[Marik2]

No but I want one

Spoiler

Where is that image from? If it's from an anime or a manga or something I would totally love to see it.

I really doubt it

Found it on google, but yeah I would totally read or watch it

I found another one that was the same but it said "FUCK I want one"

 

[La Barata]

My most recent ex had a ds, and insisted that made her a gamer. She also professed undying love for MW2, although she would never so much as touch the console. (I called bullshit)

HA! that is awesome! but while me and my girlfriend do game, its more because we are about 800 miles apart and it's one of the things that at least helps us stay in touch. Its fortunate that i found someone who likes first person shooters and all... but it gets almost to a disturbing degree when anything explosive involved. this is a girl that stabbed me in the back with an energy sword all because i had picked up a rocket launcher with one shot left. she loves explosives.

but no, i have no doubt in my mind that if she was in the room with me, she would resort to these type of tactics. awesome picture, good sir

Sadly no, girlfriend of the past year hasn't even owned a Gameboy. I did manage to get her hooked to Professor Layton though haha

All it takes is one game. You've found a opening in her defenses now insert a crowbar and start prying it open. I'd suggest a Phoenix Wright game.

Interesting side note. They're making a Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright cross over game.

LOL that sounds like the type of girl that I would marry in a heartbeat

 

[Mumonk]

Yes. She is totally hot, we met on WoW, traveled halfway around the world to be together, we got married and so far are living happily, lets hope its forever after =)

 

[thahat]

yes, still have one and she rocks

 

[newwiseman]

Only one and I lost her to WoW... I'd be willing to date a gamer again but she'd have to be able to tell when a game is just physically bad for you, like meth... and be capable of putting the game pipe down for a day or two once a week to have a life.

i am a gaming girlfriend, and i've had a couple of girlfriends who were kinda into games and one who was a Guild Wars addict. i'm the kind of girl who's more into gaming than anyone she could possibly date, male OR female. i can kick my boyfriend's ass at Reach, and he knows it. i wish i knew more girls into the type of games i like, though, like Blade Kitten or Record of Agarest War, games where there's either really fun platforming or where the characters are actually a factor in the progression, unlike your run-of-the-mill FPS where the story progresses by you shooting everyone in the face with your machine-gun-testicles. (no offense to FPS-fans. i like FPSes, but the story is just too weak in most of them, which is why i restrict myself to Halo titles and the rare non-Halo title which i think looks promising.)

 

[FarmerMonkey]

Nah, I wish she did. Love my wife more than anything, and it's a shame I can't share my hobby with her. She really doesn't like any kinds of games, video or otherwise. Doesn't like to play cards, etc, either. She's fun with a good sense of humor, though, not to mention being one of the most thoughtful and generous people I know. She's a great mother.

I used to play Twisted Metal with my college girlfriend as a date (her console, her idea). But she was also unaffectionate and maybe even a little aloof.

Common interests are valuable, but not nearly as important as compatible personalities and willingness to put the other first.

 

[Rocketboy13]

Strangely, more go for table top, "Doctor Who", and anime than video games. Those that did the video game thing I never gamed with, it was more of a time apart activity.

 

[Darkauthor81]

First of all, where are the options for people who don't care for girlfriends?

Second, what makes you think that you're getting serious answers?

Ok first: If you don't care for girlfriend, why are you on this thread?

Secondly: I gave two joke options at the end for people who don't want to answer seriously

Third: Lighten up. We're all having fun here. Don't be a kill joy.

 

[beema]

my girlfriend plays games but it's mostly mario stuff on Wii or Fruit Ninja on her ipad. Wish she could get in to the more "serious" stuff with me :-/

 

[Cowabungaa]

Guys don't like women they feel threatened by. That's why for so much of our history women have been deeply socially and sexually repressed. All because of men who were afraid of losing their boners.

Adversely, girls don't like men they feel threatened by either. Which is why so many girls love having a gay guy friend. A guy they can feel completely comfortable with. It's just that women have never been in power enough to impose their insecurities on us like we have on them.

Which kinda sucks, because I as a dude would find it awful when a potential girlfriend would want me to play worse than I could. Just man up and loose bravely, get better, then beat me. Or the other way around of course if she's better. Without such respect and recognition of one another's skills, not just in games, I don't see any relationship lasting.

And competition is kinda hot, like an aphrodisiac...*cough* ...yeah.

This is true. Unfortunately, most girls who game know that they're a commodity and use it as a license to act like fools. Women who don't game don't get lulled into that false sense of security that they're beautiful and attainable no matter what they do. I think this makes the non-gaming variety a lot nicer most of the time.

Funny, the one's I've met, both beautiful and heavy gamers, were actually very insecure about themselves. And really, I have no idea why.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I've never had a girlfriend, so... yeah...

LOL wow. I have a gamer girlfriend and even I'm jealous of you.
