Hmm~ Well... I'm a gamer so I'd like a guy who's a gamer too. I work in the industry and enjoy my career. I can't say I'm addicted to gaming though. And I don't think I'd like to be with a guy who plays more than 5 hours a day. Gaming is like any other thing in this world. It has to be taken in moderation. Or else it's just not good anymore. Plus I like my weekends spent elsewhere.
I'm a gamer and your rather cute

it all boils down to stereotypes, not all gamers are socially inept shut in's that don't bath i am one of the lucky one's, I took my hobbies and made a career out of it. a couple of my friends are your traditional wow addicts who don't really do much aside from work and play wow.

I love mmorpg's, like wow and some of the others, i learned when i was a kid, you have to balance time for your gf/job/game, and if you have to chose the game comes last even for times when your dating another gamer (if your lucky) and i don't deal well with women who are overly hostile to my hobbies due to their own ignorance, yes i choose to spend part of my free time in front of a pc goofing around with my friends online and i don't see how sitting in front of the tv catching the next american "idle" is an improvement over how i spend my free time.

just color me confused

and im still upset i couldn't find anyone to go to E3 with me >.

YES!!! Unless you only want to be in a relationship on paper. I dated someone in their forties who spent up to 12 hours, once hit 15 hours, a day on games. Clearly, this was more than entertainment or a way to de-stress. Because he thought this was normal or would laugh it off, his addiction never got addressed by him and not by us as a couple.

I envisioned a life time of spending saturday nights alone while he played his game, and suspected he will be a poor role-model for my son.

So, of course, we are no longer together.
