Gamer Girl or Hot Girl

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

Still, it limits you to a smaller crowd of people if you only look for gaming girls. Then you have to remember that not all people who have your same interest are going to be perfect for you.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Similar interests are a lot better place to start than looks. At least in my experiences. Who's to say that gamer girls are ugly anyways?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, You're right. Who's to say gamer girls are ugly anyways?

Who's to say all hot girls are evil bitches and will dump you and of course, if they're hot, they have to have absolutely NO Common interests with you? Hm...seems like most people in this thread seem to be saying that in so many words. Seems everyones doing a bit of stereotyping here.

I still don't think common interests are where I'd want to start. I'd like to be attracted to the girl, THEN see if we have common interests or at least a compatible personality beforehand. Once again I'll say: I can give a rats ass less if shes a 'gamerr gurll". That makes no difference to me. I hardly would consider myself a 'gamer' anymore.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The things I am looking for in my discussion are clearly outlined in my first post.

Clearly you have stated that you prefer looks. That is perfectly fine.

Anyways, I would also like to point out that I also said:

I never mentioned anything about hot girls being evil bitches. I simply said that similar interests are a good place to start. While you may think certain beliefs are implied, do not put words into other user's mouths.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I know what you mean. I guess thats what a lot of people have been trying to say in the thread so far. I take it because you've always dated gamer guys, its a quality you look for in a person.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think I'd go for a balance of the two. Sure, it'd be nice to have a hot girl who happened to love video games, but such types are rare. Realistically, though, I'd take a girl who had more in common with me over a beautiful body with no common ground any day.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

Haha, thats awesome! I've met a lot of gamer girls at college and that was one of the biggest surprises for me actually. Thats sweet.

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Once again I wander back into a TQP post and the majority of what I see are pain in the ass teenage virgins running their fucking mouths about women and relationships, completely unable to actually grasp any actual content outside of "pretty girls are bitches" and "gamer girlz aren't realz." With a few obvious exceptions (you can skip this if you're one of them, if you understand that there is no such thing as a true sweeping generalization such as "all gamer girls aren't pretty" or "all pretty girls refuse to game" this isn't meant for you.)

GROW THE FUCK UP.

Do you prefer pretty girls or gamer girls? How about a well-rounded individual you fucking prats? How about a girl who turns you on with her looks, has interests in common with you, AND likes things you don't know about so, god forbid, you might fucking learn something new?

I don't understand why this sub-forum always has to play with absolutes like this. Is it because the majority of people who post here are 14? Is it because so many of you don't have life experience? Again, if you're one of the few moderates in here, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the repeat-offender children who are running their mouths like they know something about life.

I restate an earlier point: Until you know something about anything, shut the fuck up. You're not only not helping, you're probably hindering someone else.

Sorry for acting 14 Deni. In fact, I'm sorry for starting a thread that has enraged you...;_;

But Deni put up a good point, unless you are going to add to the discussion with some personal testimony or real life experience, better stay out. If you are just making projections or guesses, its just taking up digital space. Its not like digital space is limitless. Gosh

Hyde, you weren't the point of my post. You brought up a simple question, if you had to choose between these two traits, which would you choose? Other people turned it into "NEVER THE TWO SHALL MEET" bullshit.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

(INTERNET EDIT) Jesus christ, get the sand out of your vagina.

I posted that semi-sarcastically but as a viable answer to this other-wise retarded thread. "hot girl or gamer girl"

First of all, the title implies that you have a choice between a girl that is aesthetically appealing and a girl who is into playing video games. Using simple logic I'd estimate that that "hot girl" is not into playing video games, and that "gamer girl" is vice-versa, not visually appealing.

Thus I choose the "hot girl." I have no fucking interest in a girl who plays video games, I'm not forbidding women of the masses to quit playing video games and get plastic surgery, I'm simply stating what I prefer.

If you want me to expound further, I will, just to appease your feminazi ass.

Similar interests go a long way? Nah, not really. I don't want my girlfriend to be sitting down playing video games with me, that's reserved for me and my friends, or when I'm alone... typically bored, and in desire for something to help me pass the time.

I would much rather BE with my girl. And no, I'm not going to concede to man's innate chauvinistic nature and say that I just want to fuck her 24/7. But no, I would liek to be with her. Go out on dates, talk to her [actually fucking be involved in a conversation] and have us enjoy ourselves.

Next time I'd appreciate you not deleting my post and attempting to hurt my "feelings" and self-esteem with your slanderous ways. Calm the fuck down, it's the internet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

First and foremost, it was deleted by a moderator, not by Deni because your post was too short.

Secondly, just because it is the internet does not mean you should act stupid. Read the first post, not just the thread title.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I deleted your spammy post, Void. Not Denicalis or anyone else. Only mods can delete posts.

Your post was removed because all it said was "hot girl". You offered no reason why. There was no discussion value, so I removed it.

Also, there will be no ROFL-ing in this thread.

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

The face of the modern feminazi apparently.

Mate, your post didn't get any of that across. It wasn't ironic. It was just fucking shoddy. Get defensive all you want, but it got deleted by a moderator because it was fucking pointless. We'd been arguing an actual point before you showed up with your postcount boosting filler. But hey, good cover. It worked like magic.

Most amazing jew boots

Isn't that basically what Deni said? Admit it, you didn't read his post at all.

Okay to again further explain my opinion on the entire topic, there are in this universe such things as human beings with varied genetic structure and... dare I say, souls? Thus every one is an individual, communism won't ever work, blah blah blah.

Since everyone is an individual they all have their qualities that you love/hate about them, and it just fuels your preference over the years of meeting different people and never cracking through the facade. So under the umbrella of simply dating members of the opposite [or same] sex, I, Void [not void of mind, although that was admittedly clever] would have to say that I would put physical appearance rather high on my criterion... much... much higher than their interest in video games.

When it comes to true love, and marriage, and all of that good stuff. Of course she would have to be all-around a wonderful, beautiful person. Inside and out. Because like interests in video games and etcetera, surface beauty withers, and you don't want to stick around with a bitch like that for that long...

Does that make you a feminazi?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, but it does make him someone who probably should have shot himself in the foot when it was in his mouth.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, it does pay to read the posts so you dont look dumb.

But back on topic. Deni, I happen to agree with your arguments. I don't understand why people are seperating "hot" and "gaming". I was more interested, when I started this thread, whether or not gaming is a characteristic one looks for. As silly as it sounds, it is one of those things that is on the back of my mind. Certainly I notice a girl's physical attributes first. Its nice to be able to tell a girl that "gaming" is your hobby and not get strange looks.

And I also posed the topic of compatability as a sub-discussion. I think that is where the issues arose. Or maybe its because some users read only the title and decide to post. =|
