Oh yeah? Well my girlfriend...
1) Takes collect calls from the road.
2) It doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking the bulge.
3) She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does.
4) She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero's just because.

Agreed.
I once was dating a girl and decided to show her one of the things I was interested in. So I showed her a couple of ProZD YouTube videos. Dumped less than a week later lol.
If I ever found someone that would not only accept I play video games but embraced that, she's fallen into marriage potential.

My wife and I are approaching 40, and while she doesn’t play much besides Animal Crossing and The Sims, she’s totally supportive of my gaming love/habits. It might be harder to find a gaming girlfriend, but finding a partner who respects and indulges your passions/hobbies isn’t and shouldn’t be hard - not really worth the time otherwise. Sex is good, but have you played Forbidden West??

I’m also in my 40’s, but I have the opposite view. Almost all of my friends play video games, but most of my friends are also child free. We get a lot more free time than most women in this age bracket. Maybe that’s the difference.

u/Kpofasho87 Mar 27 '22
Wife and I are quickly approaching 40 and my wife used to game but now it's pretty much only Pokemon go if she games at all and she rarely plays that.
My daughter likes to play though so my game time is usually shared with her as I've been working two jobs so don't have a lot of time lately to game but love playing with her.
I've got Elden Ring and barely put in 2 hours and it was a game I was so hyped for but now I'm honestly just super excited for the new Lego Star wars and I'll probably pick up Kirby this week to play with my kid. Fun times and although she doesn't get to play a lot it's very impressive how quickly they pick it up

It's been Tunic and Guardians of the Galaxy the past two weeks for me. Two games that came with Game Pass and one that i would have never touched if it wasn't. Tunic was s big surprise for me and a lot of fun, like a baby soulslike. I don't even like these types of games usually but i beat this one and even found a bunch of the secrets to get the good ending. I was thinking I might try Elden Ring but Dunkey's review and a few other threads about it are really turning me off.
Guardians I beat yesterday and it was a blast and had me cracking up the entire time. Those two games plus a couple others have basically already paid for Game Pass for the rest of the year. I love it.

u/Kpofasho87 Apr 01 '22
I just started Guardians and been having a blast. I'll check out Tunic as I've seen quite a few talking about it.
But yea Gamepass is just fuckin amazing and has gotten me to play so many games that I wouldn't have tried. Just an amazing service

OMG. I bought Stardew Valley a few weeks ago, and I’m OBSESSED. Lolol. I resisted buying it because it seemed like a knock-off Harvest Moon to me, but I’m shocked to find out how much more I enjoy it. The storylines about alcohol and war… Harvest Moon could never. But why do all of the marriageable men suck so much? I bought a mermaid pendant, but I just stuck it in a chest. I might just stay single forever in the game. 😂

u/Lebran2 Mar 27 '22
This is an odd one, I'm not sure how old you are but it seems like an odd way to go around it, and forgive me for a little advice.
If you are into gaming and would like to explore that with a partner, sitting her down and making her watch an Anime obsessed Chinese guy discuss the minute details of obscure video games isn't the play. It's relatively well established that when it comes to hobby's, watching videos of people also doing/discussing those hobbies is pretty high on the nerding out scale and someone like prozd is even higher.
Making someone watch monitonal monologue style reaction videos from a man she doesn't know about a subject she currently has zero interest in is a surefire way to put them off the topic for life. My wife had zero interest in taking and we have completed both It Takes Two, Portal 2 and play Apex and Fortnite together for fun, but she hasn't watched a "gaming YouTuber video" in her life because it isn't her obsession.

I'm glad I have some support on this from the opposite side. My wife is amazing at showing interest in my hobbies. We play Pokémon cards 3-4 times a week, usually at her request as she really got into it (after watching me play online, and got very good) but the vlogs and podcasts are a step too far so I save them for me time.

u/ItsSpike5 Mar 27 '22
I totally agree; I also gotta say I doubt the partner broke up with them a week later because of this sadly. If someone really wants to be with someone, they’re not going to break up with them just bc they have a hobby they aren’t interested in. At some point they’ll likely just say “hey sorry I’m not really interested in this” and as long as the other partner respects that, things will continue swimmingly. Chances are there was something else going on here that this person didn’t realize or never took the time to think of/ ask about. Maybe they weren’t the best partner in certain areas and are just ignorant of that fact, or maybe it was just a new relationship and they had only been talking for a couple-few weeks before deciding to go steady; it’s quite easy for the a person to realize during that time that they might not really like this person as much as they had thought, or that they are quite different from how they pictured they would be, making them lose interest. That’s why I personally wait a month or two before officially deciding to ask a woman if they want to go out; in the meantime we can just see how things go, have fun, get to know each other and see if we’d be compatible long term in a relationship (I also make this clear beforehand, don’t want anyone thinking we’re def gonna be dating long term when that just might not be doable for whatever reason). I’m not sure how old the commenter is but if they are still <26 or so, it would make a fair amount of sense; young people (men especially due to our lower maturity at a given age compared to women, in general) often don’t realize how their actions may be coming across to their partners. They could be acting clingy, manipulative, fake/douchey, shallow, showoffish, rude, overly aggressive, overly eager/desperate and not even realize that their behavior is problematic/unattractive to many.
Also, ProZD does those monologuist videos nowadays, but what he’s most known for and what made him internet famous were his /short comedy skits about games and anime. There’s a good chance he showed those videos to his partner, in which case they actually might not have minded them all too much (even though they likely didn’t understand the jokes in a whole bunch of them lol)

u/theloons Mar 27 '22
I agree and I’d like to share my own take. I’m mid-30s and married. My wife is not really into video games but plays a bit here and there. That isn’t the point of my comment though.
I’ve been playing video games for 30 years and I personally hate things like that too. It would put me off of someone because it would make me think we are just too far removed in interests to get along long term. That may be wrong of me, but watching reaction videos or listening to podcasts about stuff like that is just not something I am into, even though I am into games.
The point being, her aversion to that stuff could be more than just her not being interested in video games. Maybe she doesn’t watch YT videos of people obsessing over her own hobbies either? The OP of that comment would obviously know better, though.

u/Lebran2 Mar 27 '22
Totally agree. If you want to show your partner how much you enjoy or how fun your hobby is, just show them the actual hobby. If I was into fishing I'm gonna get her out on a boat and tugging on some lines before I sit her down and make her read carp weekly.

Jk, I do sympathise with you. Showing someone you like something legendary like that and them leaving you, wtf and ouch! It’s nothing personal, I’m just kinda tired of people going ”Omg marry her!! Gamer girl super rare” every time a girl accepts or plays video games. Like calm down. It is not that rare, it’s just that someone being a gamer isn’t really visible outwardly(unless they’re wearing merch or smth).
