"Shag A Gamer" Cuts to the Chase

[Bloodstain]

I'm actually okay with this and think this is a good idea. I wouldn't use it myself, but I can see how some people may feel more comfortable in an environment where you are not only tolerated as someone with nerdy behaviour, but expected to be such a person.
My only problem with this site is the steep cost.

Boy, do I wish I had set up such a site earlier...the money they will be making...

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

I know I might be flamed for this, but I'm sure that the makers of this site had good intentions. I mean sure there are going to be more males than females, and there is a great chance of jerks whom are going to say they are gamer's but in reality they only play the latest sports title. So to all of you whom are saying that this is a terrible idea, just remember they had good intentions.

I bet you all that not one of the females on that site look as attractive as the ones in that picture. This is just another site to give us a bad name really. Stereotyping us as all sweaty nerds who can't leave the house let alone talk to a girl if its in person. "Gamers" could easily use one of the many other sites used for this purpose. I don't see why we need one specifically for our demographic if it's only for no strings attached sex.

I'm surprised it's not yet full of meme and Gaben profiles by now. Internet. You are slacking. Get to work.

Typical hedonistic bullshit that's all too common in the UK today. It seems they're appealing to the idiot market, which is certainly the type of company one will find through this.

While I don't have anything against hook up sites I really don't understand why this is specifically aimed at gamers. If your simply meeting up with someone to have sex why does them being a gamer or not matter? Seems like they would get a lot more business if it was just about people in general being able to hook up for sex.

 

[Auesis]

Oh dear.

All that needs to be said, really.

 

[Jackalb]

I just want that T-shirt.

 

[JWRosser]

This is most odd. Also, the members are not great (yeah...I had a browse). The models in the advert LIE!

That woman on the right has no eyebrows.

And now I can't unsee that

It's just a hookup site specifically for gamers. What's so bad about it? It's about as horrible as a hookup site for gardeners.

Heaven forbid adults should seek sex for pleasure. Why, just the knowledge that said individuals are seeking a harmless thrill is enough to turn the sky grey. Oh and not to mention that any such person must be an idiot. I mean, us intelligent folk never go after meaningless fun--we're too busy being all mature and snoody, amirite. Let's pretend to be better human beings and prance around on our highchairs some more.

Sounds like a good idea, especially if you can't differentiate between "encase" and "in case."

Play nice or I'm turning this thread around

 

[maninahat]

Why just gamers? Other people like sex as well. They are putting limits on their business idea for no reason. Are gamers suddenly the only group of people who can't get sex?

I think there are some correlations, yes. But there are already dating sites and "find a shag" sites all over the net. Some specialise, and it wouldn't surprise me if unsocial gamers wanted a means to find people with similar tastes (games and fucking) without socialising. To me, this website seems like a natural progression, and I'm surprised it hadn't been invented sooner.

So yeah, I think its a good idea. Why not provide that service, when there is a demand for it?

Also, surely gamers, of all people, should know how annoying it is when people look down on others for their "sad" behaviour or pastimes. yet there are still plenty of judgemental gamers in this thread, doing that right now.

So what do I have to do to get on the leader-boards. I'm not in unless there are several achievements I can earn. < Achievement Unlocked- Apple Pie>

The "bad" part is that it it is geared towards a certain group that is perceived as "desperate", especially desperate enough to PAY MONEY TO ASK SOMEONE IF THEY WANT TO HAVE SEX.
Geeze, that's just fucking sad. When you pay a hooker, you know you are guaranteed to get laid. But here? Here you have to pay just to be able to ask.

"Chesterfield rugby," haha Andy is Canadian. My grandparents used to refer to it as "Schooner Hiking," or maybe that was just dating, I still don't understand it either way.

 

[templar1138a]

I don't know what's worse: The fee for using the site or OH MY GOD WHERE ARE HER EYEBROWS?!

Seriously. Yeesh. *shudders*

I loath sex. I said it. I'm not condemning those who use this to be tossed into the sun, I'm just voicing my disapproval of the thing. Sure people are free to mindlessly romp about, I just think it's a rather disgusting and very much a primitive thing; a mammalian drive that functions by releasing chemicals into our brains. Don't you find the concept of actions being motivated by by dopamine, adrenaline, and hormones rather perturbing?

I'm sick of being told in real life and on ze' internet that I'm stuck in the past because I'm tired of seeing people wasting their time, effort, and productivity on meaningless pleasure. If one is stupid enough to waste such a significant portion of his earnings to be able to use this service, and then to spend time trawling, travelling, and doing the deed? Yes. I think they are a pretty big dunderhead. Especially when there's a substitute in the form of Kleenex and the Internet. Condescend me all you like, I'm just tackling this through a rather rational approach.
