it got deleted???

see, this is the problem. you can liken video games with thread deletion. without interaction we aren't human.

put down the video games and stop the deleting for chatting and let us be humans!!!

no i'm not flirting. not much anyway


The trick is to flirt/chat and still discuss the topic so you're still on topic. I always flirt. That's all I do. ;)

Can video games be a version of foreplay?

actually video games can be a version of foreplay.

consider playing for positions. i suggest something fun like mario kart and avoid fighting games. i'm not in to mixing sex and violence

;) - flirting

About 2 months ago I Was exchaning e-mails with a lady on POF, it lasted about 2 weeks. I had mentioned that I liked to play videogames. She responded with a nasty note saying that men who played videogames were childish & immature.I never heard from hear again. This has happened to me twice. What's up with that?

You're better off. I'd never let a woman come between me and my PS2

I agree with avoiding fighting games. Depending on the move you make against your partner you could kill the mood - like say constant kicking to the groin. heh

Everyone has their own way of relaxing and kicking-back. I don't think that video game playing can be interpreted as immature. I could argue that drinking to have a good time is immature, and could argue that people shouldn't have to have a drug (be it alcohol or whatever) to have a good time, but then that could be defended with the "I drink socially" argument (Yes, I drink from time to time. I was just pulling an example out of my...nevermind). I could also argue that religiously watching "Sex in the City" and modeling life after shallow, materialistic, and let's not forget fictitious women could be immature as well, but I won't go too far into that debate. ;) Maturity is best defined (in my opinion) by one's actions toward others--how they handle people and life. Playing a video game is not much different than playing a game at the fair, or going to the casino to gamble, etc...

What does bug me though is those guys who have attractive girlfriends and take them out on a date to a bar only to ignore them while they play on the touch screens. Now that's immature. :) Any neglected girlfriends out there? :)

My guess to that question is that some ladies lack imagination, and confuse it with maturity, as there's no other way to label it, right? I'm not a sexist, but I can make that call with percision, as it's with experience. Video games are and is something to do, when you're indecisive and want to go to the mall to shop for shoes or that dress (yes it's directed to those ladies who think that it's a bad idea for men that play video games). I'm a PROUD owner of an XBOX, and I also have a social life. I don't think that going out every weekend is the ideal thing to do nowadays, as I would just love to stay in the house sometimes. What do you do at home? For those that think that it's immature, you should try playing a game, as I think that's a possibility of the problem. Don't knock it til you tried it....life is too short to be serious all of the time. I'm not serious all of the time, as it 's stressfull, and kills....LONG LIVE VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!

Some people just like to complain. If it wasn't videogames, it's watching sports, or going out to drink with buddies, fishing, drawing, your shirt, your mother, your cleaning habits, your cooking, the fact you don't say this, the fact you never say that etc. Now just complain back to her that she complains too much about trivial things, then point out "see! it's rubbing off on me!"

I play videogames about 1 day a week. 2-3 hours at a time. I don't see how it's any different than any other hobby. And maybe if there was a person in my life to focus on more I'd give it up.....Yeah..Right
I guess some guys need to get thier priorities straight.

BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING WITH US, AND NOT VIDEO GAMES...DUDE THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU HAVE A WOMAN IN YOUR HOUSE AND YOU WOULD RATHER PLAY VIDEO GAMES YOU DONT DESERVE TO EVER HAVE SEX AGAIN. NOW, IF YOU PLAY THEM WHEN YOU ARE ALONE AND NO ONE IS AROUND, THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. BUT GENTLEMEN, HANG UP THE CONTROLLER IF A CHICK IS OVER, K?

Design, I don't want to come off as a prick but to the middle left of your keyboard is the caps lock key. Could you turn it off? Thanks.

your pic makes you look 63 rather than 43. you look as though you have never done any exercise for 63 years. i imagine women use the video games as an excuse to dump you.

Dude...that was harsh....if women had control pads implanted in their breasts...everybody would be happy!!!!

Seriously, PS2 or X-Box is no different then people sitting on a computer religiously filing through Forums >

I know what you mean about the picture and I'm working on it. as far as exercise, I walk at least 1 mile a day if the weather permits.
Like I said, maybe if there was sombody in my life to focus on who knows, I might give up videogames for rock collecting or golf.

Whether you like video games or not, is not really the issue. What is important is not to state so in you profile because it may give the bad impression of the couch potato. We all like to watch TV, but I wouldn't put Watching TV as an interest.

There are lots of women out there who like a guy that plays video games.

I was an Everquest addict, and met my last long term girlfriend in the game. Our characters even got married in the game. We went out for a year and a half, living together for the last year. She ended up having real anger issues, something that I did not detect at all in chat in the game, or in the initial dating, so it didn't work out. But it was really fun for a while. I bought us each awesome computers and we'd play together all the time.

I know about 7 couples who got together in Everquest, and I've heard of way more. One of my female friends in the game moved from Costa Rica to Kansas to be with the guy she met. Another guy friend of mine moved from Montreal to St. Louise to be with the woman he met. On and on. My ex's roomate is really into video games too, and both of them are dam hot.

So, don't give up if that is what you want, they are out there.

I think we have a problem if is the main source of entertainment, that shows signs of immaturity



I play video games here at the apartment when I have no plans to go out and do anything. Why should I care if you believe if it's immature or not?

that last post was meant to be a response to someone else's post in here. If women wanna think that guys who play video games are immature, then let them think way. Who cares?
