Poll: Good gamer=bad in bed (scientifically proven!)

[Stalington]

Bwahahaha! I'm so glad I suck at first person shooters now that I've seen this:

The comments made me fall out of my chair with laughter.

From the Article:

After a study of 200 Dutch men,

Wow. A whole 200 people? Glad to see they really went the extra mile with their survey.

And I've never been prouder to suck at FPSes. ;D

 

[Beowulf DW]

I don't believe in premature-ejaculation. I believe that when I open fire, it's right on time.

That said, I'm only an average FPS player. Also, Amnestic is right: 200 Dutch men? That's it?

This [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7657092.stm] article says it weren't even 200 men, and about half of those were a "control group"

 

[Black yeoman]

So glad I read the article before asking, "So whats P.E.?"

 

[Jamanticus]

This thread will soon be dominated by people who way, "I suck at FPS games!" just to be cool.

That said, I suck at FPS games!

Interesting how science proves crazy things like that, huh?

 

[Stalington]

somewhere, someone just made a Bawls being spilled joke

 

[Downside]

erm i own at FPS's and dont suffer from P.E so i guess i proved science wrong.

Not really a conclusive study so i dont think the survey proves anything other than some poor souls suffer from P.E and are good at FPS's

Let's not forget, these are Dutch people. I wouldn't even call them people, really.

Honestly, when was the last time you were playing on XBL and were stomped by some Dutch dude? It's never happened-- they're not good at video games, ever. And apparently, they're also bad at sex.

Did you read the article?

 

[Tangouser]

At least now I have something to blame it on

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

*Sets copy of Halo on fire*

Lies!!!! Seriously if this is true:
A) I'm not surprised.
B) Shit
C) So why is every single Johnny Pre-Pubescent crap at halo?
D) Maybe it's something about simply overcompensating by focusing elsewhere
E) Maybe gamers of that region are less healthy which affects ability.
F) Shit

Yes I did..... What are you insinuating? Alright, I suppose I take back my statement that science proved it, but it's an interesting thing to think about, no?

All good Dutch gamers are smart enough to play PC games.

Is there someway I can put that quote in my signature? I love making fun of my Girlfriend's dutch heritage. It's a bonding experience.

Discussing my sexual prowess, or Halo "Skillz", seems pretty disingenuous in this context, but I will say this puts a friend of mine who is amazing at CounterStrike right in the sights of my "mocking beam" for awhile.

And really, isn't that what science is all about? Making an easier and more convenient modern society and helping me destroy a friend's self-esteem?

 

[Ubuntus]

For some reason i am in doubt about your source.

 

[Ultrajoe]

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHA

allow me to repeat that.

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHA

That is all i have to say.

 

[FrankDux]

haha. Interesting, but there are so many other factors to consider here, that I'm sure sure they can prove a direct link.

 

[Caliostro]

100 people for control and 100 for test purposes? All of the same country? Not very reliable...at all.


Also, I'm good at both
