Do girls like gamer guys?

[Graffik]

I can't, and also at the begging of a relationship most people aim to impress therfore he may hide his obsession for a while and then eventually spend like 24/7 on games

Damn, then that means you must've ended up with a gamer once before eh? I meant the girl could tell the guy'd be neglectful if he has almost no social-life, and the girl can always leave if the dude starts playing games 24/7...

[granamonkey]

BUT what if the dude wants no social life, but wants a GF? He can go ahead and neglect his social life because he has no desire to hang out with a lot of people and talk with a lot of people, just the one girl and one or two close friends.

.. but talking to the girl would require some sort of 'social comfort' or w/e, otherwise he would be stressed out with all her needs/wants, and the time he'll have to spend with her.. Anyways, I don't really know much gamers who don't know how to be cool in some way, even if the most interesting thing in their life is video games.

[narutoandino]

not really which sucks

[Aina1]

yeah i especially like gamer guys of they like the same games that i like.

[narutoandino]

but thaaaaaat usually doesn't happen

[Aina1]

you broke my heart :sadd:

[Graffik]

you broke my heart :sadd:

I've fixed it, with my level 40 Healmaster techniques.. oh, You're the small percent exception that doesn't ignore the game obsessed congrats!

[MasterX25]

If this is true, than I may have some luck with girls XD. I'm not a gamer but a aniem reader to be precise since I readrather than watch.

[granamonkey]

Having no social life doesn't mean your not socially comfortable. I'm extremely comfortable in social events, yet I don't have a very active social life due to the fact that I don't really care if I go out with people every night and whatnot.


I think it's half in half really, I know girls that love games/anime/whatever more than me, and I know girls who hate that kind of stuff. The majority however (that I know) don't care (they play the occasional video game with other people, but not alone has a hobby), just so you don't talk about your tier 6 gear half the time your talking with them, or how you completely owned Vergil or whatever impossible boss fight you were stuck on, shouldn't be a problem.

[konakona]

My pro skillz bring all the girls to the yard, and theyre like "pwn him hard", damn right imma pwn them hard. I can teach you, but I have to charge my uber for this heavy before we can rush the final cap.

[Hitsugaya Toshirou]

no girl want a guy that watches anime and plays games all day if you play games or watch anime every now and then it shouldnt be no problem

[Joan]

I think it really depends on what kind of girl you are. I would be extremly happy if my bf would watch anime with me.. It happens sometimes, but he is really bored so i try to avoid it, and that works out fine as well! : )
And he is kind of a gamer, but only when it comes to football games, and i hate football games. But that works out fine as well, cause then i'l just play one of my games, which is way cooler.
So, if you are a girl who likes both anime and games, it can be cool. But I know many girld that don't know anything about things like that, so those who thinks that it's difficult for gamers to get girls, I understand that as well.

[DarkSlayer]

Joan is right. There aren't a lot of girls out there that are into video games and anime.

The only problem with most guys is that they get too absorbed into either or.

All things in moderation. If you do a little bit of everything, there shouldn't be a problem.

Unless you're like Leo here (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=242), then you're screwed.

[WerzMyBankai?]

If your talking about "getting" a girl I suggest you find better things to talk to her about than games or anime.

But once you "get" her then it shouldnt be no biggy otherwise it means that the girl isnt for you.

When people dont know about anime to them they are "kids cartoons". You will have a much better and easier time explaining to someone who knows you better and is willing to listen to you about anime than someone who you just met.

[noue]

OMG gurls who doesn't like boy gamers are umm (well there's something wrong there).. i dunno but i love guy gamers and animation freaks.. it's attractive to me..i don't know why.. i wish more guys were into animations and gaming.. although there are a few guys that are gamers that I HATE.. but yes i think gurls do like some gamers/animation people.. cause i am one of those girls..lol..
i would love to have a bf that i can play video games or watch animes with..

[Viva_ Shira]

if u girls like nerds..then i guess it's time for me to have no life and get on my comp all dam day...nah im just kidding not worth ma time got's myself a real life.

[Cable]

shira's got the right idea. Be yourself. There's girls out there for every kind of guy. Even the psychopathic ones that have a private hospital in the Alps suspiciously far from any civilization. I even have a sign that says No Screamin'

[Fallgore]

"Do girls like gamer guys?"

I can't answer an exact yes or no. Most girls don't mind guys playing games because lets face it, most of us do. The difference is how far we take the 'gaming.' Most girls understand that guys like Xbox, etc, but so do girls - if they give it a chance.

Guys who take it to the extreme tend to be the 'turn-offs' but playing a good amount of games, but at least managing time for social life outside of games aren't turn-offs.

It's true, be yourself, but just in general, there aren't many girls - especially the kind of 'dream girl' who really likes guys who spend all their time on a game consule :P

The answer is Kind-of I 'd say. Most girls don't mind while some girls (mainly Asian) love games, just don't take it to the max extreme ;)

[Graffik]

^ Nice statements there Fallgore, people like people for who they are, gamer or not..

So yes Halo 3/Cod 4 warriors, you can get in the game too.. :winking56

[Aesthetique]

As if something so trivial as an obsession for gaming or anime watching could possibly affect my love for someone. It's his hobbies, his life - I don't run it.

[chidori69]

depends..is she is into gaming too..then ur in ;)..

although if the guy is heavily adicted..like..those ppl adicted to wow..and dont get of their chair unles its to eat, sleep or toilet..then no..it doesnt work XD

That's so true! I've seen lots of casual player that are couples back when I was playing WoW too :sad

[KELSØv3.0]

I love guys who play video games and watch anime/read manga. I love playing MMORPGs and watching anime, and I want the person I'm dating to play MMOs with me or at least watch anime with me. In fact, I've never dated a guy who wasn't into anime or didn't play any type of video game.

I suppose I'm strange like that, but I think otakus are sexy<3

yes, it highly varies on that as well. One of my exes was very troubled with how much i played videogames, so i just went down to a couple hours a day. But she was dissatisfied with that. So it highly varies for the girl/guy you're dating.

I know who you're talking about, Maru. Lawl.

[Pie]

Well, I play computer 2-3 hours a day and I do homework.
Other than that I'm with my girlfriend.
Although if she goes away for a weekend (like to her parents or whatever) then she's knows that the only thing that I'll do is play PC, because I love it.
Seeing as though when she asks me to be with her, I leave the PC right away.
Girlfriend/Life > PC
Aslong as you have time for her and don't ditch her for something like WoW raids (No, I don't play WoW) or clan matches, then I guess It's ok.
I mean, who gives a shit? When I'm not with her, I'll do whatever I want to, but when I'm with her, I'm only hers, I don't even have the PC on.

So aslong as you're not obsessed with it, then it's probably fine.

[Moxie]

Well, I like them. That would mean that's an interest that we share. I like to play games and its always nice to have one more person to play with and have fun. ^^ However, its fine as long as it doesn't go overboard. >.>

[Manchester Black]

Depends on the girl. Girls (or people in general) usually go for someone who has somewhat common interests/taste as their own. So some girls like gamer/anime guys, others don't.

[Orihemi]

Only until they talk about the same thing over and over for hours on end and will not play what you like like and make you play something you don't have any interest in.

P.S. Dosn't happen that often but it's enough.

Sounds to me like you know this from personal experience?

[Mahiney]

Well, I don't know if I myself am considered "obsessed". I do play WoW, but only for a few raids then I stay on my computer and watch anime, or browse forums. The computer does take awhile social time from my partner.

Sadly though, I think I am beginning to get obsessed with WoW again, because I haven't called her in awhile..(4 days?)
I might stop and stick to just watching anime every now and then.

[Hime-chan]

it's fine by me ,im a game/anime lover myself ,as long as we're having fun and we never get bored of each others company ^_^

[Kenji]

I'm ok with it, If she has them as a hobby.

Keep it as a hobby, I don't want to see her cosplaying during school like some freaks here do. If she wants to play Super Mario Bros, and I want to play Guilty Gear, I'll put on SMB just because it'll be fun for the both of us.

That's what matters, that we both have fun in a relationship.

[Alagdam]

I'm not sure if I should post here being a guy, but I'm a gamer in the since that I usually play video games console and computer for about 3 hours a day, and i sometimes switch out anime for video games to catch up to the current episode. But my girlfriend of 2.5 years really likes me and doesn't seem to have a problem with it or ever complain about it.

[ske105]

It depends on who the girl is in my opinion. Some girls like guys who watch anime and play video games. Others really don't. In my opinion, most girls don't like guys who stay inside all day and don't go out enough. They usually aren't too bothered if you like playing video games or watching anime as long as it's not over-the-top.

[DatLatina!]

It really depends on how much the guy is obessed with games and how much the girl is not...If he's with a girl who likes her hair and is into herself and only herself in this case, it's not a good match.Also if the guy is obessed then kiss your girl goodbye.If their both obessed then that's alright.If the girl needs a man who will pay attetion to her for only a little while then he should. Sometimes girls need attetion to make sure your actaully into her.If not she won't last very long with that guy.It all depends on these situaions.I mean I never had trouble with that situation exactly but I know that because that's how some girls are.Sometimes we can be complete b***hes other times we're nice..... :D

[kakudo]

I kno I do. But then again I'm an out doorsy person so the guy wold have to have a sudle balance between the two. Then I'd be happy cause we'd have sutin in commin.

[Gowansweetpea]

Maybe I'm a little weird...I don't really play too many games mostly only read and watch anime and do my other hobbies, but like watching my husband play his games..It's cool that he has his own thing cause if I'm not in the mood to watch I can work on my crafts.

[wayofthedawn]

I wat i think is dat u should keep your girl life and gaming life completly seperate

unless she is a gamer then beat her down to the ground in that game

it's fine by me ,im a game/anime lover myself ,as long as we're having fun and we never get bored of each others company ^_^
thats cool why cant more girls be like that

[maximoose666]

Way of the dawn, don't triple post - I had to merge your posts.

However, I totally agree with you about keeping your gaming and your relationships separate.

[Freya]

Usually what I've found is that the girls who like gamer/anime guys are those that like those things themselves. I personally am married to a man that doesn't dislike these things but he doesn't really like them either. My brother on the other hand likes those things and is married to a woman who likes games but doesn't like anime. lol So I guess it's a toss up.:Haha

[Evenstar]

Well... Since I am an otaku anyway I think it's okay --- Just as long as my boyfriend doesn't spend more time gaming than being with me. -_-
