Poll: Girlfriend question.

[Toar]

Love that woman because she sounds like a catch. If she can play video games and rule at them, that means you have something in common.

 

[Kerr Cameron]

No. You should be yourself; Scared and Proud are their own people.
Also, I wish I had a girlfriend better at games than I am. Uh...
That is, I wish I had a girlfriend. Ever. Or a boyfriend. Really, I don't care.

LOL!

I knew someone would beat me to the Confession of Loneliness Post!

 

[toadhall]

Scared, proud. Having a girl play better than you? You should be ashamed of yourself, man! ASHAMED

lol, I kid. I'd be proud

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Oh god, what.
You should feel nothing.
So the broad you are with is good at games. Big deal.
Why is this a thing any more. Girls make up something like fourty three percent of all gamers. Probably eighty percent if we include casual stuff.
There are no "girl gamers". There are just fucking gamers.
Jesus.

 

[Marter]

You should be neither. I know a bunch of girls that play games, and it's absolutely okay if they are better than you are. Just be happy that you have found one that likes you enough to spend time with you.

I was going to reply, then I realized this is a pretty awesome troll.

dude, i'm not trying to troll this is a serious question and at the moment i am very proud but a little scared.

Can I ask why you are scared?

because if i say or do anything mean she'll own me D:

 

[azncutthroat]

You should be proud. If you're scared, then you have insecurity issues. Unless you're girlfriend has a history of instability and a lot of dead ex's.

Take it like a bishop and let the woman ride on top for once in her life.

 

[Skops]

look at it this way; no matter where you are, in game or not, you always have a loaded gun XD.

 

[crudus]

Why isn't "neutral" an option? You really shouldn't be scared or proud that someone can beat you at a video game. Arm wrestling? now we have a problem.

Your poll confuses and infuriates me.

lol!

 

[Denizen]

I would love the find a girl who is better than me at my favorite games (l4d2, Tf2, CSS). I love a freaking challenge. Thanks now I have an adrenaline rush from thinking about it.

 

[Denizen]

You learn far more from a better opponent than you do a worse one.

Excellent underrated and somewhat forgotten truth. I have trouble explaining this to my newb-farming friends who don't get why killing them isn't as rewarding as finding challenges.

 

[Daze]

Mate, only be scared if she insists on playing against you. Otherwise, I'd say take pride. I know I do whenever my girlfriend does well (either in game or in real life).

 

[brucelee13245]

tho i do love my girl, i am jealous of you good sir. You have a good woman in your arms. Treat her well chivalrous one!

 

[tzimize]

Mm, such thinking got you a probation. Don't go around saying that you refuse to do such a thing when you won't sit down and do it. It makes you sound like a coward. And the only reason why there is a "PC Vs Console war" is because overly opinionated people like you say there is. It's childish and un-needed. I play L4D, Halo, and have played CoD on a console and prefer it to a PC. I usually play my PC because I don't have xbox live (don't want to connect my xbox to the net. I see no point) And I DO get better aim from my controller than I do from my mouse.Get over it, move on.

As far as I know what got me a probation was a mostly caps post, opinions are not illegal on the Escapist I hope.

I dont understand what you mean about me refusing to do anything, or me being a coward, the only thing I refuse to do is believe that controllers are equal. I have played fpses with gamepads before, and my experience with that is what makes me refuse to do it anymore.

If you prefer controllers over a mouse thats fine, but calling me a coward and childish because I have strong opinions on a topic is not exactly mature either.

 

[Entropyutd]

Your poll confuses and infuriates me.

you found someone who likes games like you.

This!

 

[afaceforradio]

How the hell can anyone answer a poll like that with a yes/no question?

And you should be proud, sir, damn damn proud.

Gal gamers are a rare breed indeed (where I live at least).

Really? Has someone been killing them all in their sleep? lol. Swimming in them where I live.

I say be proud. Not cos she's a girl, but because at least you got someone to play MW2 with! Hey maybe she'll even improve your skills.

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

Ok, so i was staying at my girlfriends place the other day and i was watching her play modern warfare 2 (ps3) against her brother.

Funny thing is she played way better than me, so the question is:

Should i be scared or proud?

Proud...

You Lucky Bastard...

Not much of a culture that encourages gals playing games down here. Sadly. We do the best we can to try and break the trend, but alas, we cannot stem the tide.

Hmm. Well, that might indeed be scary. But you just have to learn from her and become her love rival!

Why is the idea of a gal beating you at anything scary in the least? That's insecurity speaking.

If she's great at something, then be proud, because after all, someone as good as her at something picked you as a partner.

If that isn't something to be proud of, I wonder what is.
