Gamer Girl or Hot Girl

Why can't you have both? I've always dated gamer guys and they certainly weren't ugly, but I'm shallow too. I can have my girly moments, but I feel much more comfortable around guys. (maybe it's just the attention.) My husband loves the fact that I play games and his friends get jealous since I'm not the type to be like "hey stop playing and focus on me plz"

I can't say that the majority of gamers are hot, but then again, neither is the general population. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There are lot more people who are married at this board than I expected.

I play games a lot, so I feel more comfortable around guys who have the same interests. Guys who have been interested in me who don't play games end up all "shocked" thinking I'm some sort of polite, nice girl that would go home and make dinner and rub their feet. I just tend to gravitate towards guys who like video games, even if I don't find them attractive, they're at least more interesting to me. I have a weakness for dorks/geeks Not the socially inept ones or anything, but guys who are kind of shy, like games but are often too scared to approach a girl, I like talking to those guys and finding out who they really are because they are certainly more interesting than the muscle heads who are brain dead due to too much sun.

Just from experience, dating people who are really hot, they obviously know it, and the ego/self esteem issues that come with that are just too annoying for me and I find that so shallow. If they're modest, that's different. Granted I'm shallow too so I'm being a hypocrite here, but I'd rather be with someone (friend or relationship) who I can help boost their self esteem (even better if there are no self esteem issues), not burst their overinflated head.

Generally guys who play video games that I've come across, also have other things in common with me too. Whether it be music, fantasy, Star Wars (hehehe) and other geeky stuff. It's hard enough for me to find a girl friend that likes similar things (so it's hard for a guy too to find a girl for a relationship), my best friends do, but otherwise, I know a lot of girls who are only into girly things so I tend to avoid girls night out and just have lan parties with the boys.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yup, they're there, just gotta look harder Female gamers are on the rise, they're starting off with the Sims first and moving onto MMOs.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Despite the huge variety in games nowadays, I know girls that don't like anything... not even DDR. They'll play it to humour whoever else is playing. Karaoke revolution is another, but that's only if the enjoy singing. Everyone must have at least played Tetris at some point or another, or solitaire through windows.

So yeah, if you look at that way, EVERYONE must have played some sort of "video game" at some point in their life and enjoyed it. Doesn't mean their a gamer, and definitely doesn't mean that they're interesting either. I don't think anyone goes around hating video games with a passion and avoiding it at all costs, but we're talking about girls and gaming. The ones that don't play, they really don't care to.

Most amazing jew boots

Anyone who puts rules out there suggesting that it's not even questionable or debatable is setting themselves up to be shot down

Like 3/4 of my friends don't play video games, are they all boring? Maybe, but it's not because they don't play games... I don't think those two really go hand in hand. I know a ton of gamers, and they aren't exactly the creme of the crop either when it comes to "fun" and "interesting."

I was speaking idiomatically.

Maybe you just don't get along with people who don't have some sort of secret love for video games. That's fine. You don't like high-strung girls who don't know how to relax. Generally, girls who have a lot of energy, don't want to sit on their ass to play games. That just goes with the territory.

It's not really about the games, maybe you just don't like that type of persona.

If liking video games makes you somewhat more interested in a person, then that's fine. But that doesn't mean that a girl who doesn't like video games will be boring to everyone other person that meets them. Sometimes I like being around people who are totally energetic, positive and always willing to do something. I don't necessarily always want to be indoors and staring at a big tv screen.

Ayos, the reason you get a lot of flack here is because you word your opinions as though they were true. You don't leave the topic very open, which prompt hasty responses from everyone else.

How ya doing, buddy?

I wish I could find the article with the picture, but there are female gamers that are hardcore FPS players.

This one doesn't have a picture, but the other article I read, the girls were not bad looking.

Granted, these all PMS clans don't seem like the type of girls I'd want to hang out with. They probably take gaming way too seriously and want to exercise their girl power all the time. That crap bugs me. I like playing anonymously as a guy and then have people be surprised when they find out I'm a girl.

So hot female gamers do exist, but then again, are they the type of girl you'd want to be with? The ones that can beat you at every game and then laugh at you and tell all your friends? (I'm sure there are nice hot gamer girls out there that aren't full of PMS, but this is just an example.)
