| Why do men ruin relationships with video games?
Posted: 4/1/2008 4:37:07 PM | To be quite honest, if I was playing Guitar Hero - I'd turn down sex too!! I want to complete the track, and the set list - not get part way through Freebird on hard and start being hassled for sex. It puts you off your strumming haha
And are women going to bin off Eastenders or Corrie when their guy asks them for sex? Are they hell. So why should the men be expected to drop everything when their lady asks for sex. It works both ways. | |

| Why do men ruin relationships with video games?
Posted: 5/4/2008 3:44:59 PM | I know this is kind of a late response, but I read this thread and the first thing I thought was...
Geez, what kind of scum ruins his relationship with video games? If you're going to spend the fifty bucks to get one, you might as well be fully commited to spending daily time with each and every video game you own, at least until they get old and overused. Video games change after a month or so of playing them, you know? When you first get them you open up the packaging with shivering excitement, even relishing the new video game smell. But, after a month, or even a few days, they start nagging you with that same puzzle you just can't beat, or some 15 year old fragger says mean things about your momma and kills you when you're not looking.
Anyway, I don't care how long you use them, but if you do, use them well. Video games have feelings too.
(I know a bunch of you women out there are going to be rather angry with me for having said this, but meh, I'll get over it. Face it, if your guy would rather play video games than have a conversation with you, you probably just don't have enough in common with him. If the only thing can distract him from his games is your vagina, that's all he wants you for. Yeah, honey, we're all getting older, but we don't need some jerk who only wants to spend time with our vagina in order to be happy. Move on, be you, cuz you're awesome.)
(And to the men out there, if video games are really that important to you, you might want to try finding a woman that will play with you. They DO exist!) | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 9:04:45 AM | First off-Wow, can the OP be any more biased and one sided? As if women are completely incapable of doing the exact same thing--Ive seen it.
So you have to ask first off -- do you have much in common? Did you get together cause "Hes hot" or because he was a great person on the inside where it counts? If he IS a great person--then you should be able to talk about it. If you cant communicate about it--then why are you even there? | |

I so agree.
I told my ex "I need to also be the me I was before I met you." meaning everything I did before accept date other women, still has its place in my life and I am fitting YOU into that pre-existing schedule, not reworking the schedule around you. I found that when I tried to rework my schedule around a person that I ended up neglecting things that I consider important parts of who I am just to spend time with someone new. This eventually led to stress and resentment. Ideally, if my interests match with hers then when I am doing those other things she can also be there and thus the problem is solved, which is why it is so important for people to find people who share their passions. The more time you can spend doing things that you like *together*, the less likely it is you will drift *apart*.
In my case the computer is a huge part of my life, but women need to also realize that it is better to have a Man who is always on the computer , where you know he will be , rather than a Man who is out and about and you have no idea where. When I have been in relationships my alone time is spent, well alone...either drawing, programming, web surfing/reading , taking pictures or running...those are all things I would love to do with some one who is just as passionate about those things as I am but I've yet to find a local woman that fits the criteria. (My last relationship was long distance and that was one of the chief reasons for the break) Video games in particular have never been an issue in my relationships as I haven't seriously played video games in almost 2 decades and when I did I was too tied up in my geeky and shy ways to be actively pursuing girl friends so it wasn't a problem then either. ;) | |

An escape from reality. Having this serious relationship and perhaps young child is a HUGE responcibility. Many men use a video game as an escape, albeit temporary, from the day-to-day demands
well if you think its a huge responsibility, how do you think the wife/gf feels? Shes probably shouldering most of it anyway and then you go make it worse by playing video games all day! | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 1:25:01 PM | ^ Everyone uses books, movies, games, etc. as a way to break away from reality. There's no difference between a game and engrossing novel.
Now--- there IS a point where it is irresponsible, certainly. But some people attack the activity in general, which is a mistake. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 3:51:19 PM | | @ giggleparts: Yes, they do. It's called sex. (or flowers, or a wii remote in the pink cover that was wrapped in I Love You paper, or the pre-ordered collector's edition of WotLK... ) | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 3:56:38 PM | Well, maybe if both people would play video games together they would have some fun out of that, they would both feel appreciated and respected, and they would want to spend more time with each other...
Just a thought... | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 12:27:17 AM | | OK, I am trying to find a way to delete this thread because it is extraordinarily moronic. How can you seriously ask a question like this? Why do men ruin relationships with their pog collections? Why do men ruin relationships with their drinking? You could sub a million different nouns in there and your thread would still be useless. I can understand trying to make conversation and meet new ppl...But forcing someone to actually read your entire self-serving paragraph should be punishable. | |

| Why do men ruin relationships with video games?
Posted: 5/7/2008 3:38:18 AM | I started playing video games when I was 5 years old with the original Nintendo. Growing up, I played them and I never stopped. Sure, I cut back a lot, but they're fun. They're good stress relievers and good for killing time. Plus, honestly, they really helped my hand/eye coordination for baseball.
If a guy is neglecting his girl because of games, thats just plain dumb. PC Games like Everquest and World of Warcraft tend to be more addicting than say, Call of Duty on a 360 or Playstation.
Maybe some guys just like to show off to their girls......my ex used to be impressed with my Guitar Hero skills, lol, but I wouldnt play it unless she suggested it.
Its all a matter of respecting your partner's time. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 7:51:22 AM | | I make all my girls watch me play video games and I even make them play video games. I once bought a video game for my girl after we decided what type of game she could like. Gaming never ruined any of my relationships because I make the girl a part of the action and they know how much I love it. | |
