For some the problem not only lies in gaming ..but being online in general. ::shrug::

so very true

Move on. Forget him. He's lost.

I'm sorry, but the majority of gamers are gamers for a reason. It is not unlike a drug addiction. It is an escape from reality, and that escape takes precedence over real life, including you. I don't date gamers, period.

Too many bad memories and more than that, it is the mindset gamers have about life and the way they see the world. I know this offend a lot of people, but RPG players are one of the biggest red flags for me in a relationship sense. I don't date gamblers either, for they are overlapping in similarities.

JMO

same confusion here

I was just confused about how I was feeling, but it is all good now, It is a lesson learned and I will never date a gamer again.

I'm waiting for the gamers to read this and jump on me.....

LilithStalker2 is now available for the PS3.

Can my avatar be one of those ladies dressed in black latex with the boots and cleavage?

My exBF is a gamer. WoW addicted BIG time. He wanted to get married, but my sons were disgusted with his inability to have a work ethic. I do understand.

My ex husband got fired from a job because of Everquest. So sad....

Game Over

What's wrong with gamers? Gamers are awesome! The stuff you do on a game you cant do in real life, well, in most cases. So when I see a guy who is level 70 with epics, defeating a world boss, I want to go to that guy and learn everything he knows, and I would want to be with him. To be able to control a character and make him/her your own, is unbelievably awesome. And playing video games are good for you, dont believe me, check out this link:

Everyone has their own thing, but in video games, not everyone can be the best, which makes it a challenge.

And life as we know it is basically over, in the next 5 years, the depression is going to strike, all you people working hard and saving money are wasting their time. Might as well have as much fun as we can. (w/o drugs and mindless sex that could spread std's) Video games are safe. You might have a career, but it's not going to matter.

I know that doing stuff in real life is more fulfilling, I do, but the stuff I want to do in life is just not possible to me right now, and may never be, soo, in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy a good game of WoW. And even when I do find my niche in life, (which will have to be in the next five years) I will still be playing video games.

Then u r like-minded and it wouldnt bother u, but imo, anything that takes u away from reality is a form of escapism, and escapism is not a good thing when overdone, particularly when u have a partner in the room with u, i would see that as ignorant and inconsiderate.



Yup, and thats cos it is a GAME and its not real, on the flip side, there is much to be enjoyed in the real world, that u cant do online.

Like any addiction, the lines of reality and fantasy become fogged.

Ummmm.

Yup, i tried not to post a reply to this, cos it is utter nonsense. Im just glad i choose to look at life in a positive manner.

Yes, fighting dragons and saving princesses does have merit in the real world....

What is going to happen in five years is what I want to know? The depression? As in Grapes of Wrath? No f-ing way.... really, that defeatist? And why is the poster going to bother with a career if life as we know it will end?

Is this propaganda escapism believing what you read on blogs or what. I think I must be on something....

Pink your reply was so very tactful.
