ive met a lot of women who have ZERO hobbies. i have met zero men with zero hobbies. just an observation.

They both have good points, some people treat it as a hobby others have an obsession
mjangelvortex
Agreed. Any hobby can become unhealthy if you let it consume you. But if you balance your life, it can be really fun and enriching.

DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
It true, though, that gaming addiction is a problem for many and needs to be addressed, not written off as just a hobby.
Sauroctonus
I wonder, though, how many hobbies-turned-addiction have been overlooked because they were creative in nature?
Sauroctonus
Like someone who paints, or builds models might be addicted to doing that, but because it's creative and creativity is considered a good >
Sauroctonus
< thing to have, people might have overlooked when someone has crossed the line into obsession.
textilelover
If they are ignoring the family to do it, I'm pretty sure family would have spoken up.
apcamanda
Gamer chick (me) met gamer dude (my husband) through competitive college athletics. Now we’re old and busted but enjoy evenings gaming

Oh good. Another lukewarm at best "burn" being presented as if it's the greatest insult of all time. So fun.

Eh, gaming is different. I’ve met very few people who spend 9 hours in the gym at one time while crushing Funions and Mt Dew.
MadCDeeJay
You obvs never Met me at the gym.
LaoBeifong
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super jelly! I WISH I could spend hours gaming again! But it IS and addiction. A sweet... sweet addiction.
Kittybitters
Gaming addiction IS a thing though. As a gamer myself even I see how bad it can get, if you’re so engrossed that you’re neglecting the 1/3
Kittybitters
ones you love then you need to put down the game. Hobbies don’t come before family. Work out a schedule so you can have uninterrupted 2/3
Kittybitters
game time guilt free and stick to it. Play more games with a pause button or get your partner interested in your hobby. Come up with a plan
lemmonjello
Thats a fair point but his point is valid too if you attract nothing but addicts then that says something about you.
helluvasparkplug
That's good material to ponder on. "if you attract ppl who are emotionally/physically unavailable, in what ways are *you* also unavailable?"
lemmonjello
yeah its one thing if you get a bad one but when its a cycle of repetition its time for reflection and maybe therapy
TryNotToPanic
Meh. People often misconstrue personal time and neglect. I.e. if you only have the bandwidth to see your partner an hour a day b/c of (1/2).
TryNotToPanic
Personal time, you should reevaluate your commitment/interest. Likewise the other partner should be open about their needs (ex. attention).

Dirtybirdsalltheway
Same! I like to fish and hunt and be social, also love building PCs and playing games! I'm like a nerdy redneck lol
ColonKoala
This describes me lol. Love hunting, sports, drinking with friends, but also love my highly competitive PC games. Gotta build your own
BitterTea23
I believe you are probably a rare breed!
gmdave
As one of those... Not really. Maybe it depends on age? At 25 I can say I know a ton of guys who game AND have a vibrant social life.
BitterTea23
I have no idea honestly - I am 26, but my friends are 95% female with 95% female friends themselves, so I don't have much of a data set!
gmdave
I see. Unless you go out often, we could be part of the same society but never ever get a chance to interact. Food for thought.
ColonKoala
I agree. I went to dreamhack a few times (major gaming convention) and I was overwhelmed by how normal people were. I expected nerds

I couldn't believe have many hot gamer girls there were. I need to know where to find them!

Look, a lot of us gamer guys are just looking for player 2. You can be healer, or tank, or dps, we're flexible. Just come and play.

Honestly this. Drag me into games I don't play even as long as you buy me the copy. I'll buy copies for you too if I want to drag you around
meatlessmeatball
Just because there are plenty of female gamers doesn't mean we will enjoy the same game and want to play a moba or ow. Jussayin bruh
shiftdi3s3l
I'm flexible. Hell, I played Final Fantasy X-2, which was basically a Barbie game. Moba and ow is the least of my worries.
fortfantastic
FFX2 was a completionist dream. all the dress spheres. all the garment grids. all the abilities.
meatlessmeatball
The point was even if you find a female gamer it doesn't mean she will be playing the same thing -> both playing on their own.
hotstuffburns
That's the dream. Two set ups in the living room, PC or consoles, playing separately but together.

True, you won't always be playing the same things, but when you need to party up in an MMO, need another guardian for nightfall, someone to-

She did specify men with video game addictions. Are we pretending those don't exist? Because yeah, there *are* guys who think having you /1

Women and men can be equally addicted to gaming.
Yesisaidthat
Kinda like when I poke fun at people for watching so many TV shows while I browse imgur all damn day.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
over while they're completely engrossed in a game is somehow fun for you. That's what she's talking about. /2
DavosSeaworthTheOnionKnight
If they are super addicted she is right. You do need time together... but if not she's just being a controlling cuntrocket.
chitterbug
This. It's what my roommate has been doing the past few months and it's definitely an issue.
SiIverSoul
As a guy I have heard my female friends complain about their boyfriends playing when they are around. Like how do you even have the balls?
kaarbaak1337
It's not balls. They don't care. Hence the post.
SiIverSoul
It still requires balls dude. Even if its my friend I know he feels bored watching me play.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
What kaarbaak said. They simply don't care if the people around them are happy or not. You do care, which is why you don't act like them.
Kittynomnoms
Maybe. Maybe not. Take the initiative. Suggest something interesting. Don't just sit there like a turnip hoping they'll go all Disney on you

No, she specified "..stop grown men from having" implying anyone playing vids is addicted, which is of course, fallacy. Also, since the

1st post labelled 'gamer guy' and not 'video game addict' , it seems obvious.

Only problem with dating a gamer guy is that they’re hard to find, as instead of going to clubs or cafes, they sit at home with bonpony

Got lucky and met my gamer gf on twitch. Phew.

That is exactly true. It’s better being online :)
OwwMyButt
Good thing is that nerdy things are getting more events. I frequent comic cons, Friday night magic, D&D groups, midnight releases, etc
Warune
Not the hardest, some you gotta find through their venue. I met my last gf in world of warcraft
sunyudai
Attend board game meetups, play MMOs, or play DnD or some other TTRPG.
Frozenpasties
I mean, most people I know still go out and shit, as do I.
jagermaestro
Nah. I go out plenty. The problem is no one is actually looking for us. Having standards at all as a guy is difficult. Nm gaming as one.
venomlash
The odds are good but the goods are odd.
RandAIFlagg
Not that hard. Of course, you gotta also go out and look. Find the guy at the concert wearing a Mega Man or Final Fantasy t-shirt.

Try board game nights at a local shop I took some introvert friends and they are now the life of the party
mto96
Im a gamer and you can also meet me in clubs or cafes fuck that stereotype
Corbinator
They're probably thinking of more addicted gamer than regular gamer. Gaming addiction will cause people to ignore everyone and everything
mto96
All kinds of addiction are bad. Im still playing alot. More than a casual for sure. Still like to go out for a coktail or two
ColonyOfBirchmen
ArmedWithATediore
I met my bf on Imgur, he lives halfway across the world so gaming allows us to spend quality time together
JustDontCare
I stay the hell inside. The only girls I meet are at work (admittedly they're lovely) But I don't try anything. I also work in gaming so...
isitworthitthenlemmelurkit
This is categorically false. I’d say 85% of my friends play video games regularly and I’m 35 and not a gamer.
mehIdontcare
The problem isn't the number of gamers, but how they often stay inside, making it hard to find them

According to people who talk like you being a a huge oblivious asshole is a requirement
HonestCommentFarmer
How much games do you have to play to become a gamer then? Does my mother who plays ~4 hours of solitaire a day count?
copm1211
I think it kinda depends on how steeped in the culture you are. I think "gamers" typically are people who love gaming . 1/2
copm1211
They will generally try to keep up with new releases and try to find new games to play constantly or as often as money will allow.
moshthun
Instead of going to clubs or cafes, try going to libraries and comic stores, maybe go to a con, or other adjacent interests. Gaming contests
GamerDad30
I'm right here! My problem is that not a lot of women want to date a single father with full custody of his kid. But that's on me not them
cynicatt
Father with full custody sounds like a responsible and put together dude from my perspective. Desirable traits.
GamerDad30
I appreciate it. Now to just find someone in Central fucking Ohio. Lol. This place sucks. But I love my job at the Red Cross, so I stay.
textilelover
They are desirable traits but the woman has got to realize she will always come second to the kids and most find that not great.
cynicatt
That's a fair point.
Loser100000
Ah, the introvert problem. If there is a perfect march for me, I’ll probably never meet them because we never leave the house.
derpherpderpherp
You can just look out of your window to see if it's the perfect march for you - if you're lucky, you'll find it just six weeks from now!

Not a lot of gamer dating websites, either.
CaptainStinkyVonPoopberg
You don't have to be lonely on GamersOnly.com

The dating site is practically creating itself at that point
Tinkrr
Just say you're a female online and you'll find a gaggle of lonely gamers stumbling over one another to catch your attention. D:
mechanicalchaos
As a gamer female that met her hubby playing games online... I concur.
DillPixels
As someone who has received that kind of attention, they tend to not be the type of guy I’m looking for. They’re desperate and off putting.
Tinkrr
To be fair, it's because the majority of their social skills come from playing things like Dream Daddy Dating Simulator. D:
JHawke
Kinda doubt they want the ones that desperate.
WhoopityScoopPoop
Ignore those, befriend the guy that says "oh, ok. So we gonna cap this objective or what?"
NikolePowell
that's actually true, i have had it happen more times than i can count, someone asked to marry me on voice chat because i play paradox games
JHawke
I find it rather sad how much sense that made.
Fahargo
I'm so excited for Imperator: Rome I'm gonna preorder it.
ImUglyIRL
To be fair, paradox games are the shit.
NikolePowell
they really are!!!
DillPixels
This is why I rarely admit to being a woman. The type of attention they give can be creepy and off putting. Sometimes obsessive.
NikolePowell
yeah it can, tho my particular circles have actually been consciously putting in effort to change that kind of behavior and i love it (cont)
NikolePowell
(cont) because having people think i'm a man actually makes me super uncomfortable
Tinkrr
Well, did you get hitched? D:
NikolePowell
nah, i'm too gay for that shit, i like girls
Tinkrr
Hey now, don't misgender the fedoras, that could just be a four inch vagina, because it's "ma'am" to you. D:
Kenkenny82
And it's hard for us to date someone because we sit at home with bonpony.
gorjanremsey8888
And it’s hard for bonpony cause he is just a virtual pony <3 sorry bonpony
TheOneThatGotBanned
I sold bonpony he wanted way to much attention
DillPixels
We need gamer dating threads so us gamer girls can meet gamer guys.
KamikazeKittxn
1/2 You meet gamer guys while gaming. Met my boyfriend on World of Warcraft almost 4 years ago and we've been dating for a year.
KamikazeKittxn
2/2 I like that I get to know people without ever seeing what they look like. You get to know the real person and like them for them.
EnjoyTheLifeYouHave
You have a good point, we need to make this happen
WastelandPuppy
You could try hanging out on the official Discords of your favorite games. :) Not saying your idea is bad, but personally, I prefer getting

to know people more organically. Anything specifically dedicated to dating makes me question the authenticity of the others.
DillPixels
I always forget about specific discord channels even though I regularly use discord hahaha.

Oddly enough I met my boyfriend through tinder. We both game (probably too much) and it’s unlikely we would have met otherwise :)
Rohndogg1
Can confirm this works. It's how I met my amazing wife.
SamanthaWho
That’s how I met my current boyfriend of 2.5 years. I had tried eHarmony with no luck but two weeks on tinder and I met him.
DelightfullyOdd
Met my SO that way. She's a competitive event rider and I'm aware that horses exist so we definitely don't orbit the same circles.
DEATHHHHH
I met my gf through larp, which is just video games in person
unitedstateoftexas
*Sigh* *Dusts off dating apps*. What do I say? Is something like "I'm a wonderful person who is also a shut in?" the right angle?
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
Hmmm I put the fact that I spend way too much time playing video games in mine and it worked but I did pull the girl gamer card :p
AreThoseMyPants
I'm on tinder just for the off-chance of matching with someone who's like me; a cute reclusive introvert into an occasional boardgame night.
artyscash
Sounds good to me
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
They’re hard to find but I found one :)
cjmmeathead
Same way i met my girlfriend. Both casual tinder (aka not in it for the hookups) but she don’t game
Prunebane
Define "casual tinder". I don't do socials, and I always thought Tinder was "that app you go for when you wanna fuck". Genuinely curious.
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
I had it and never intended to actually date OR hookup with anyone. It was kinda a confidence booster. My and by BFF started just playing...
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
Video games together and eventually we started hanging out in person and going on dates. He was my only serious match xD
cjmmeathead
Yeah that’s what a lot of people think. Nbd. A lot of people just have it as a game almost, just swiping for fun and never really 1/2
cjmmeathead
Expecting anything to come out of it. Until she and I actually found the one person who looks really honestly interesting. Now we’re dating
WhoopityScoopPoop
Met my now fiance on okcupid. Was moving 700 miles, didnt know anybody but my new boss, figured i might as well know one cute girl if im

gonna meet anybody online. She messaged me first, turns out shes basically me minus the video games. Good times ensued, hence the proposal
