>>715417659 (OP)
Whats the point of dating someone who doesnt play video games? What do they even do?

>>715419791
they mostly browse for other, richer men

>>715417659 (OP)
I don't like to talk about video games with women so I just say no and change the subject to music or something.

>>715417659 (OP)
Be attractive enough and you can show her your living dex on the first date and she will still let you fuck her raw.

i'm extremely vocal about my hobbies all the time
that way everyone that don't like them leaves me the fuck alone
i'm also married so i don't have that problem

>>715417659 (OP)
I reveal that I enjoy my women tied up. Most women leave right away but some of them stay.

It's amazing how fast the light leaves their eyes when they figure out you're not a normal fag, like being into sportsball is a requirement even though they don't care about that anymore than nerdshit, fucking wild.

>>715417768
Hey, that's just not true. Women put in a lot of effort to sniff out serial killers.
Mostly so they can fuck them and tell all their friends to fuck them too.

>>715417659 (OP)
I do still play certain games, but I can't stand discussing it with people IRL. It feels like it's equivalent to coming out as gay. Immediate stigma.

>dating

>>715417659 (OP)
revealing that I have enough disposable income to make a new 6000$ pc every 2-3 years makes me quite attractive in the dating scene.
I dont of course as that only attracts vultures who want to restrict how you spend your money.

>he doesn't open with "I'm a gamer" everytime

>>715417659 (OP)
Told my current GF when we were dating that its one of my hobbies. She likes to watch me play horror games. Going through RE4 remake right now.
The hard part is explaining D&D/CoC and Warhammer. But surprisingly they are all alright with them.

>>715421058
most people are able to have 6k disposable income in a year. most would rather spend it on a vacation or two, a slightly nicer car, nights out, etc. saying "i spend 6k every 2-3 years on a bunch of fans and microchips that will take time, energy, and attention away from you" is not really that attractive.

No because they'll think I'm a heckin racist chud.

>>715417659 (OP)
Yes to both. I dated for marriage, so if a girl was going to have a problem with my primary hobby, we weren't going anywhere anyway. It took a long time to find a girl that was both cool with it and actually attractive, mostly because she's 11 years younger.

>>715417659 (OP)
the left over men here don’t date and never will.

Just tell her up front, if she likes you she won't give a fuck. She'll even join you and tank all your ranked stats but occasionally play comfy old school snes through the night with you.
I told her on our 1st date, she said she did too and told me she played some gay ass shit like harvest moon and animal crossing but it was a start.

>>715417659 (OP)
>reveal you're a gamer when dating
How old are you? Most young women play game these or at least see it as a norm these days.

>>715417659 (OP)
I generally don't bother trying to date someone that doesn't align with my interests in some way.
I don't even call myself a "gamer" either. I just don't think it's healthy to hide something like periodically playing games just to have mediocre sex for 40 seconds.

I apologize for nothing, she is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

>>715422542
I remember when normalfags would consider a few weeks without sex was like horror. That was before porn was as easily accessible as it is now and the internet took the world by force. I guess now they're coping with going longer and longer without sex now that everything's so different than how it used to be.

>>715422516
50 hours is what id call a healthy amount of Sims 4 played
once those numbers get into the 3 digits get the fuck out of there

Women don't give a shit. If they like you at all, you can tell them you have chronic farts and $10 in your bank account and they will still be down because their attraction is not earned.

They don't think like men, you can't win them over. If you play video games and that turns her away, she was already turned away she just hadn't shown yo yet.

I couldn't tell you. We only met because I'm friends with her dad, my experience is a totally different situation. It probably helps that I'm pretty juvenile and she's mature, people are usually surprised by how big the gap is.

Sometimes I miss my ex-wife. She never played vidya before we met because she said the controls are confusing, but she used to love watching me play. We'd sit and smoke weed and drink beer together while I played through DX:HR, DA:O, GTA, whatever else I was playing at that time, and she was genuinely entertained. I finally got her playing Diablo 3 with me because the controls are so easy she couldn't possibly fuck that up, and she got to enjoy mouse clicking a bunch of cunts and leveling up. I feel like I'll never find that comfy dynamic again.

Are there males who don't play videogames at all? Like what are your hobbies? Watching football and drink beer all the time? Sports don't take up that much time.

Yeah. If its a dealbreaker and you aren't willing to give it up, there's no point continuing. Its all a farce with a guaranteed break-up, if you just hide it.
Unless you're just looking for casual sex and not a relationship. Then by all means, hide it, since the relationship doesn't matter to you.

may as well get it out of the way. just dont admit to playing anything actually cringe or autistic.
hardest part isnt admitting that you play games, but the girl asking you what you play.
Think about it before the date, you want games that are easy to describe, sound fun when you describe them and that they possibly have heard of.

You dont want to say you play Hearts of Iron 4 and try to explain "you play as nazi germany and micromanage blah blah blah" cuz that shit dries up a vagina very quickly.
chicks love co-op lobby horror games or survival crafting games

My girlfriend plays Luma Island, Infinity Nikki, Stardew Valley, Dave the Diver - those kinda games.

>>715425641
UGH
YOU GUYS NEVER GET IT
THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE
Women are SOCIAL CREATURES. You think men are? HARDLY. Women BREATHE social contracts that men merely take note of. ANYTHING out of a woman’s mouth is playing what she sees as the ideal game to do TWO THINGS. The first is to SIGNAL SHE IS AN ALLY TO OTHER WOMEN. Supporting the “current thing”, calling a 4/10 a 10/10, talking down on an unpopular person. THESE ARE NOT OPINIONS SHE NECESSARILY HOLDS. Theses are SIGNALS TO OTHER WOMEN SHE IS STABLE AND WORTH BEING SOCIALLY HITCHED TO. The second goal is to ADVANCE HER POSITION. Men attack directly, women indirectly. A woman gets what she wants through almost purely indirect means. Having an enemy fired, starting a rumor, etc.
ALL WOMEN in essentially all cultures know that porn vidya is NOT approved as a thing to signal support of, that said, this has, and this is the secret here, ZERO BEARING on their opinion of porn vidya. Replace every mention of the word “said” with “signalled” in your minds description of what a woman does. She signalled that she did not approve of this war. She signalled that this man’s advances are not acceptable. That is what is going on. Women do not say things because they think that thing, they say things because they want the effect of people hearing that they said the thing, in a way they’re using language in a purer form than men are. Men merely use language as a means to an end to communicate thoughts, women consistently use language as exactly what it is, a tool to shape ones position via how it is RECEIVED by those around them. Men talk with their own mouths in mind, women talk with the ears of their listener in mind.

I'm not particularly invested in convincing you guys, but I find anonymity to be really liberating for candid honesty. Maybe its different person to person with wherever they're at in their lives, but I guess I don't get the chance to talk to a lot of people about shit in full honesty out in the real world. Telling strangers I have a girlfriend I'm excited about for the first time in my life, who has a cum kink and roleplays size kink shit with my Zandalari troll in WoW is something I could tell no person in real life, but here I can just dump it on you guys before I go to bed.

I was just upfront about it with my girlfriend. She doesn't give a shit. I play Rimworld and commit warcrimes in front of her on the regular.

Just don't be autistic about it. Explain what you like in a way that your audience can enjoy too, and shut up about it when it's boring to others. You can play games a lot without it being your entire personality.

I'm turning 34 this year though so maybe it's a bigger deal when you're younger - people tend to be more insecure and judgmental, but I think the best option is to be open about what you like and to be open to trying things your girlfriend/whatever likes too.

Every man is like this and has to learn how to speak.
You exercise and drill it like any other activity. Best way is to get a public facing job.
You might think that some men clearly have some sort of talent or advantage, but that's not the case. They've just trained much harder and longer than you.

But it won't help you find a gf.

>>715429782
>Best way is to get a public facing job.
I've had two such jobs and it didn't help. I can memorise conversational patterns for the things I need to say on the job. That doesn't teach anything about how to actually speak naturally.

There was a Kat Dennings lookalike who was into me in school, but she sucked to make plans with and I was too autistic to realize she liked me.

>>715429129

>ZOMG TOMBOYS ARE TEH BEST XD
We get it. But in real life tom boys are a bit homely. I would definitely date a girl like that and have. But it's not like I'd be jumping at the fucking chance and quickly check what she wrote.

>>715429782
>But it won't help you find a gf.
If you hit the baseline of being able to chat her up and ask questions to keep the conversation going, throwing in some tidbits from yourself, it will be enough, but you will need to make up for the rest with your physicality. Women like silent men IF they're physically attracted to them. If you're ugly, you need way more than the baseline social skills.

>>715417659 (OP)
Fuck she's so cute. Even at the time I wished she was a little younger for this role but it still worked for me.

>dating
Only women and chads date now. I haven't been on a date since 2003 and not for lack of trying either.

>>715420282
Based. For me I do the same thing since its just a trust based exercise in the end and even more commonly accepted nowadays. Also just because they can be on board with it doesn't make them submissive it just shows they are a team player which is a huge step towards the wife points.

>>715430008
He said he found her cute and surely you'd check if she sat there writing multiple sentences. Doesn't add up.

>>715430091
According to two girls I used to be friends with I was like a 7-8/10 a couple years ago, only thing thats really changed since then is I'm a bit out of shape
I guess I should hit the gym or something

>>715430146
No people don't understand what the pool is like. Last man standing happens a lot at dating spots now just focus on conversation and steering topics your way since too many do that coy bs. What matters is after you have an in and the amount of stuff you can discuss. On those matters if all you know are games and she has no clue of course its going to be a disaster and they will find you boring. How much of the other shit you know most would consider mundane or unimportant is what they find interesting. But yeah even if you are but ugly don't simp cause that guarantees friend zone. Even as an ugly bastard being suggestive and flirty is important since the ones that aren't disgusted you have a real chance and you just figure out why the hell is that the case.

>>715430379
>He said he found her cute
Men find most women cute dude. Especially ones that pay attention to them. It's not some special circumstance. He obviously didn't think she was interested.

>>715430527
Nah.

>>715430091
Not what I meant.

You'll never date if you're this sort of introvert and the only way to get a gf will be to perform some sort of heroic act and have a woman witness it.

You can try to date but you'll just find it repulsive and find the women who also date equally repulsive. It's an activity exclusive to extroverts.

Should have yelled IM GOING TO FUCKING RAPE YOU and then continued the conversation normally.

>>715430464
All you need to do is walk to your local city and dating spots and see what couples look like to figure out 'number values'. Reality is that you have to work hard at this shit and go through a few failures. Then the right one comes at you and you have wisdom to navigate it. If you don't know just ask or look up. Objective pieces get written on the net all the time / books and movies that inspire women. Boring as fuck but useful in the end and conversation starters. If you can't do that just think about embracing being a dad figure can get you over the mark.

>>715430832
The biggest problem is that people get discouraged and mentally say 'deal breaker' but how do you know the opposite side will ever have an interest if you don't share your passion. Once you have got an affirmative answer then you can weigh a proper decision to continue but guess what, you are playing the biggest RNG system in your life and there are almost 0% chance of perfect rolls. And if you ever did do you have the confidence to carry on that responsibility and challenges of a beauty desired by everyone.

>>715430842
Nah, no other hobby to fall back on... It actually really sucks because I cashed most of my interest chips into games, with any leftover interest in nerdy tv, and movies from the 70s-00s

Whatever in the literal fuck you want to
The reality is being lazy is your favorite hobby and videogames are an easy route to being lazy

You aren't going to magically fall in love with something day one that requires actual work and effort to get good at. If you spend that time shitting on yourself instead of just getting immersed in it you'll literally never have another hobby

It's never too late

>>715431070
True. Problem is, nothing else really interests me, besides travel, and making my own beer/wine/liquors, but I'm too lazy/ not interested enough to justify the investment of money AND time.

Apparently that gives off massive gay vibes and after watching some new modern day trivia game shows where half the contestants are men talking about what they'd do with their husbands after winning... Well shit man

Anyone can pick up a social media/dating platform and find a relationship with someone whose as mentally deranged/fucked up you are.

Anger management is for when you don't express any of this openly and take it out on inanimate objects and people and stuff.

Most girls who've liked/dated me played video-games and have a good enough impression of them, that they'll even worry about distracting me from multiplayer stuff if I mention I'm playing while we chat.
Last girl I dated would sometimes be practicing violin or singing, while I listened while gaming. I've never been asked out by someone who didn't take the time to get to know me, which means neither of us would have even had the thought that gaming should be hidden or lied about when "What're you doing?" is asked.
Most of them appreciate a fun plot no matter what medium it's told through, so even if they don't like the idea of learning mechanics to get through a plot, they appreciate the plot element.

It's only a death sentence if you have nothing in common in the first place, she's not attracted to you (in which case, why bother with the bitch) and/or she's a close-minded normalfag retard. Just be comfortable being yourself and looking for women like you that like you for who you are, not for the image you project or some gay shit like that (which most men fall for multiple times). I have no qualms telling a chick I'm into nerdy shit like graduate and research level mathematics and theoretical physics, C/C++ programming (especially in regards to physics engines), alternative and progressive metal and baddass sexy chicks in my vidya along with weird settings with cool vibes.

The worst thing she can do is thing you're weird, in which case she's just a retarded bint. No need to bother with a relationship that will fail or end up like your average boomer's marriage, where they hate each other so much. Plus, you're bound to find one woman who will accept you as you are if you put the effort to find one.

I don't date because I'm unwilling to compromise on things i want out of a partner/my free time. I could settle for something lesser, but why would I? Maybe I'd end up happier, but maybe I wouldn't and I consider myself content/happy enough now.

There's just doesn't seem to be a convincing reason to try to alter my lifestyle for something that has a low likelihood of me ending up happier than I currently am.

Modern dating is just prostitution with more steps, more drama and more money spent on the whore. You aren't missing much by not engaging in it. Sure dudes say holding a their girl is the best thing ever, then literally 10 minutes later that same faggot will go on about how much he hates her hobbies, her friends and rant like a bitch about how she won't do the dishes or clean like a woman actually in love with her man would. I imagine it's the same for women when talking about their dudes.

All in all, it's just people coping with past relationship trauma by taking up more trauma and living out an eternity of bad, poorly thought out decisions and then inevitably breaking up or learning to hate each other. I've got better things to do with my time and I've just starting mocking retards that go into relationships blindly and getting burned in the process so they stop bothering me about being a thoughtless fuckwit.

I typically bring it up as a part of my hobbies pretty early on. Also helps that I am interested in other things besides gaming and can hold a conversation about a wide variety of things. My thing has always been I will have my hobbies and as long as you don't put down mine, I will not put down yours.

Generally works pretty well and anyone that is like "ew, video games is a waste of time" or some shit, I just move on. Not going to change who I am just for pussy. Also helps that I am in my 30s and date people in my 30s and you get less BS than if you date younger. My GF is a more casual gamer but likes stuff like Animal Crossing and JRPGs.

Dating is such a gay process. You either find THE ONE by pure chance or you don't.
Stop trying to find love with whores trying to sell themselves to the highest bidder

>>715417768
Meh, I don't get that impression. Generally it's not THE dealbreaker, they'll find some other reason not to be into you before that. Girls who have been into me have either said they don't understand games but think it's cool that I play or have tried to get into it themselves to appease me

I was even funnier when she dumped him and was with another guy within the week, to which he cried like a little bitch over a dumb whore. To this day, I realize that a lot of men are this pathetic when it comes to women and look down on them for it.

>>715435057
Dating is gay, but not because you find the ONE or you don't (there's multiple degrees of compatibility between people and you can find multiple women that will be good wives, but to differing degrees. So long as she's at least a good wife, you'll be happy. Most women aren't though). It's gay because it's not really geared towards knowing people, but gaming them to gain their affection and otherwise gives incentives towards short-term gains versus long-term ones.

If you're intentional about it, you won't fall into that trap, but most people are retarded so unironically arranged-marriages would be better for them because all they end up doing is falling for the same shit over and over again and then realizing they aren't happy with their lover/spouse and instead of communicating it, they just let things fester until it turns into a fight, divorce, cheating or something else.

Essentially, dating can work, but you have to be not retarded, which is a tall task for your average highly emotionally driven and logically lacking normalfaggot.

IME tomboyish chicks are usually more accepting of vidya

>>715432847
>tfw never gotten any attention at all
even my old as fuck dog gets more female attention than i do

It's not the first thing I'd bring up but it's certainly not a dealbreaker. I'm autistically into smash to the point that I go to tournaments. I had a gf that wanted to learn the game and play with me. Every other girl I've dated just doesn't care about gaming and lets me do my own thing while she does hers for a while.

>>715438195
I've successfully kept up the facade thru two, 3~ year relationships and am currently meeting a girl in the same field with similar goals.

>>715436923
That's actually perfect because people generally don't want to listen to other people's shit, especially so when dating: They want to talk about their own interests and themselves.
So just casually ask what they're doing or what they find fun, make small talk along those lines and act interested and you're 80% to making a good impression.

>>715438234
IME asian girls are way more accepting of vidya. Every asian girl I know either plays games or dates a gamer, and the two I've dated wanted to play with me. White chicks have usually played Mariokart at a party but otherwise never touch games other than maybe like Stardew Valley

>>715437921
haha, don't do that. but good try bud.

>>715438515
That's also true because barring one, all the girls who have been into me have been Asian

>>715438019
to end your loneliness, or something like that. But I agree. Price is too high and the benefits seem fleeting (in my limited experience)

>>715437921

If you're actually the kind of person that wants/pursues romantic relationships you should get off 4chan. This isn't the place for you. It's a community for weird autists who don't have any interest in that crap. You're a tourist and you'll just make everyone more miserable by staying here. Go back to Facebook or whatever normals use now.

>>715417659 (OP)
Whether or not you reveal you're a gamer on a date is a personal decision, but it's generally a good idea to be upfront about your hobbies. It's not necessary to make it a major topic on the first date, but don't hide it if it comes up naturally in conversation. Being genuine and letting your date see your authentic self is more important than trying to project a certain image.

>>715438591

Simple.

>>715438591
The irony of this is that as a man, once you achieve a healthy personality and sense of security in order to begin dating, you no longer feel the impulse to date.

>dating
Was never really my thing. I don't mean going on dates per se. I mean going on dates to get to know someone. I did that with one or two girls. Ultimately, most of my relationships were with people I already knew well. We'd basically skip that whole getting to know each other bit.

That's because all serial killers are nerds or geeks. Outliers exist sure, but if you delete the whole geek/nerd pool you're more safe.

>>715417659 (OP)
I mostly kept it out of my dating profile, though sometimes I'll mention that I formerly did game development.
I haven't hid my gaming hobby from the girl I met there, but I also don't see much reason to talk about it unless it's pretty relevant. She also games a bit but we're more likely to talk about other stuff

>>715438880
Yeah, figured that out after my last relationship. I do miss sex and romantic stuff. Prior to that experience I thought just getting gf briefly would motivate mate to pursue more women in general. But it didn't, instead I had the realization that I'm pretty much a solo player and I don't like dealing with the drama other people (women) create around me.

>>715439156
So you're an autist pretending to be a normalfag? Why? I pretend to be one for work because I need to eat and buy games, but why would you willingly suppress yourself for most of your life?

Its the ones about roleplaying pregnant women with deadbeat boyfriends that don't stick around to be a father. Actually I dont even know if thats a mod or just a normal part of the game.

>>715439786
It only makes sense when it has a greater goal in mind, like cooling your autism to make sure you have money to survive and when it's not 24/7. I will never understand how men are so pathetic as to think that putting on an act is how you are supposed to get pussy. It just creates drama when her expectations don't meet reality.

Women are rightfully shit on for being retarded, childish, crazy and generally useless at doing their fucking end of their work (especially in the house), but men are just as gay and retarded for trying to woo these retards with bullshit and getting surprised that their girl doesn't like them for them, but for what he can give her. Relationships are all sorts of fucked nowadays.

Women hate to have to compete for your attention. Women expect you to treat them as though they are the most important thing in the world to you. If you are with your girl, and you start playing video games, she sees as competition for your attention and it is defeating her. She will resent the video game because of that, and she will resent you for choosing the video game over her. While you are immersed in your game, she is soul-crushingly bored. While you are playing video games, she begins to see you as not a man but just a boy, a manbabby. She begins to think about the men she has interacted with, ie - her boss, her co-worker, her ex, the cute cashier at the store, her girlfriend's boyfriend, her girlfriend's boyfriend's best friend, etc. She starts to compare you, ie - the boy, to those men. That puts her on the path to cheating on you or leaving you.

Yes, the ladies hate men who play video games that much. If you have video games listed as a hobby on your dating profile, it's a death sentence.

Women are fine with you saying you play games (at this point nearly every male does) but you need to either have other hobbies or lie about them. If you only play games and watch youtube her pussy will become dryer than the Sahara desert. Obviously, it depends upon the girl. If she plays a lot of games then whatever, but if she is some normalfag chick a better response would be like:
>Oh, yeah, hobbies? I like to read (try to have some knowledge of a few books prepared), play some games, hang out with my friends, hunt for some cool breakfast spots, catch some football on the weekends. Boardgames are a lot of fun too with some chill people, you should try it some time if you haven't.
Obviously don't say you train MMA every day if you're some lardass or twig, but even if gaming is your primary hobby just throwing it into a list that seems like you're a well rounded person will get you far. I mean, my gf basically only played phone games when we met and now she plays games like every day. Most of the time they are more casual stuff, but we still played Split Fiction and It takes Two together and she tells her friends about what a great experience both were to play with her boyfriend.

this isn't a hobby specific thing. this is a narcissism / borderline personality disorder thing.

I either turn into somebody who abuses sickcations to get a break from having no life. Or I retire early in bumheck cheap nowheres, and live off ramen cups until I die of a sodium induced heart attack, surrounded by my little projects and a cat that eats me. The keeper I am.

I haven't bothered trying to date again, after doing it the "normal way" in my early 20s. But from that time, the one outing I remember enjoying was a conversation that led into bullshitting about whacko conspiracy theories, and weird workout routines.

Maybe find you someone who can appreciate that the sinking of the Titantic was a tenpenny insurance scheme. Or that there's a possibility of being abducted by aliens or bigfoot while benchpressing innawoods and grilling your meats at 2 in the morning.

That girl ghosted me 2 months later after some more back and forth. Got one last text sometime later, stating that she'd just got out of a breakup or something. So sorry, need time for myself, that stuff.

But I did the jumping through the hoops and entertaining cats segment before. Organizing the meetups, driving an hour+ one way, leading conversations and activities to get them to talk, etc.

Maybe it's the mark of a self-absorbed workaholic, but the one thing I learnt from all that is that I enjoyed it only when I got to be myself.

I think this is waht it's cited for the idea that woman will date an "ugly man" more often than the opposite.
While men are more even handed they'll select for the higher end of the average. Meanwhile women will dip below it, however in this context that's literally 84% of the graph.
That being said a really hot guy will almost always pair up with a really hot woman, meanwhile a hot woman is way more willing to pair up with an uglier guy so long as he has other attractive qualities like status, money, or charisma.

Read the article and note the graph on attractiveness vs messaging instead of spouting your head canon. For men, it's linear up until they reach the top attractive females then it falls off and they don't message as much. For women, it's exponential: they hardly message the lower and medium range and mostly go for the top attractiveness.

Most of the guys who score a permanent one are usually late 30s biker types who scored some crazy bitch he can have in check half of the time(at least).

>BEE yourself, she's indifferent

or
>Lie, keep the normie gf and hide your hobby
>Lie, keep the nerdy gf but never play games with her
>Lie, keep the indifferent gf and never play games in front of her

As you can see, being honest loses 1/3 of the time while lying has a 100% success ratio. You do with those odds what you like. From my experience though, women don't care about a vidya hobby unless its the only thing you do. If you do other normie activities like lifting, socializing, hiking, traveling, etc. she won't care, but if you're a basement dwelling super vidya nerd who needs click click dings to keep your serotonin pathways running she'll run to the hills (as she should)

>>715448920
Already trying to, my guy. Thanks for encouragement though.

It would be inadvisable to do otherwise. Why would I waste my time dating, much less being in a relationship with, someone who hated one of my hobbies? Its one thing to not necessarily share all the same hobbies - though I grant its much better if you do with something like gaming - but if you had to hide it for fear of being thought badly, that's a waste; clearly, not the right person. If you're the type of anon who prefers to stay in, comfy with your vidya, why would you want a woman who's an extrovert who constantly needs other people, who wants to constantly be going out and doing things, because she gets drained just staying in for instance? This is one of those things that compatibility matter. Its one thing to be slightly different to introduce the other to new experiences, its another for them to have contempt for your lifestyle or yours theirs; I've seen so many relationships fail because
>You're always at home, reading, playing video games, watching TV or playing with your models / crafts etc...
>You're always dragging me to constant activities and they're so fucking vapid, no I don't like clubbing or going somewhere new with 5 of your friends every free night
sort of things and it works the same for both sexes - there are girls who are homebodies who want stay home and cook, play vidya, have their little hobbies, or just watch TV and dudes who constantly hit the town with the bros or wants to drag her to whatever events when all it does is make her feet hurt. Compatibility is key - its ideal to have some common interests and also those that are just exclusive to one partner or the other, but if the latter are major lifestyle preferences or the other partner is contemptuous about it, its not a good long term match if the couple can't evolve on those issues.

I literally look like an oblivion character.

Sad, but true. Used to be different though, since this site used to be full of creative types, now it's shit.
Planning to graduate from this site this summer.

Lucky bastard, I envy you (in a positive way).

Not really. I don't treat gaming as lifestyle, so I don't really have to hide it since I mostly lift weights and read books.

Being gamer is a mainstream thing now. She most likely is also playing video games herself.

This is too big of a hobby for me to even consider hiding. I would want a girlfriend who was into games on some level, even if its just "i bought a switch to play animal crossing and pokemon, i loved the 3ds" or "ohhh i love klonoa hes so cute, havent played his games though" or "haha solid snake is funny" i know a girl like and i know more are out there.

Legitimately? Watch netflix, makeup tutorials, or watch other people play video games.

My sister browses Instagram all day and when she's not doing that she watches the Harry Potter movies on repeat
