Still in the early stage with a new girl I'm seeing. We were out in town and I happily watched a bus go past us with the giant Left 4 Dead advert on it. She asked what I was looking at and I said "oh nothing, just a new game that's coming out."
She sighed and said "you're a gamer?" in a really dejected tone. I had to explain that I'm not a 20 hour a week guy, I just like playing in my spare time instead of watching TV. She seemed to buy that.

fix your quote please 
Rainclouds don't necisarily mean you're doomed, I'm just bothered whenever I see gamers dating game haters.
in my experience (both personal and observed in friends and relatives) it rarely ends well, but I wish all the luck to you :_

My girlfriend doesn't mind me gaming, as long as it doesn't get in the way of spending time with her. She plays Guitar Hero on easy, and has a love for Spyro. The only game she's ever finished is Happy Feet on PS2. I tried to get her to play Portal, but she finds it impossible to work both analog sticks at the same time, much to my frustration.
Maybe games objectify women too much and this is why women play fewer games than men? Every female game character out there is either some heroine with an attitude (Lara Croft, Bloodrayne) or scantly clad eye candy (Ivy... well all the DOA/Soul Calibur girls). But then again males are frequently depicted as growly voiced adonises who could lift a walrus with one hand (Gears of War etc), so I suppose it all evens out.Girlysprite said:
My girlfriend is an RPG only player, currently stuck on the Lord of the Rings mumorpiger and playing nothing else. My 66 year old mum plays a lot of games though. Her favorites are Jade Empire and Thief 3 (Xbox versions). Currently shes on BioShock and she will be getting Farcry 2 or Fallout 3 for Christmas. Dunno which to get her yet.
My girlfriend seems to be a bit less-than-happy to see me play video games, but I've been doing it since I was in first grade with the first Doom and C&C games.
I really don't like it when she just stares at me with this look like I just broke her cat or something... aside from that; I have been having fun for as long as I can remember just building and destroying people, bases, and empires... It's just like being god! I love it!

My ex-girlfriend's top 3 favorite games went something like this:
1. Sonic 2
2. Virtua Fighter 4
3. God of War
9999. Halo
Yes, she was a strange woman.
On the other hand, I actually know a surprisingly small number of gamer chicks. I know they exist because there were lots of 'em in college, I just never seem to be around them...

To all those people who say 'I rarely meet gamerchicks' this could because they dont have this big signs floating over their heads 'Gamerchick'
I actually met my girlfriend because of Counter Strike Source. She and her entire family, except the mom, are in a clan called KoS. I used to play on their server all the time and such, never really knew her though. Then I went to a big LAN party (roughly 100ppl +) and met her in person...
Kinda funny because I knew there were two girls in the clan, one old and one young. I actually thought that she was like 30, and the other girl player was about 20. Turns out I was wrong, the girl I came to love was 18 and the other girl was 50+, so I was abit off. Anyways, after meeting we kind of hit it off.
In any case, long story short, she loves First Person Shooters and racers and other variety of games, even MMO's... So whenever I need someone to play I have someone with!!
The bad part, she took a year off before going to college so she get's to play games all the time, and here I sit procrastinating from my studying for college by typing out this ridiculously overdone post on this lovely forum that I have visited about 5 times in the last 10 minutes... -_-
