Talking About Girlfriends, what about women in general and older folks playing online.

I don't see why that would be a problem of any sort.

My old guild had a 64~ tank, he was hilarious at the 'get off my lawn routine' <3
I don't care about age while gaming as long as they're nice to talk to then, yes why not :)

The same way i feel about anyone playing videogames.

Is 50 really that old? My dad is 50 and he games a lot but I wouldn't say he's elderly.
I've never really known the age of anyone I'm playing with so I don't care if they're young or old or anywhere in between.

I already do...

That's the beauty of video games.... age doesn't matter, just skill and attitude.

If I'm playing online with someone, I rarely know their age anyway. It allows anyone to make friends with anyone unless its blatantly obvious their young.

I fully plan on playing games well into my 60's and above. Nothing would please me more than to own some kid a third of my age in gaming. Just adds to my trash talking techniques.

"Yeah! Grandpa beat you! Muahahaha!"

Gamer Tag could be something like Mr. Wrinkles. Would be great.

I'm 40 now, and pretty sure I'll still be playing well into my sixties. If it's about in-game interaction I don't see the age difference as a problem. Maybe you won't have much to chat about outside of games, but you could also be surprised. You know you at least have one interest in common with the person.

Personally, I would rather play with an older group. When I had an X360 still, I played A LOT of BF3 on there, and CoD prior to that. I believe that playing with an older, or at least more mature group is always better, nothing that turns you off a game like teenagers using racial slurs and profanities constantly.

Older people are more mature, okay not always but I think I prefer to play with older people than kids.

Thanks everyone for your comments. It's really nice to see that people can respect other gamers based on attitude/effort rather than age. I'm a female, mother of three boys and I'm just as crazy as they are for CS:GO, Borderlands 2, Alan Wake, etc. I'll be 60 next year. I don't usually try to emphasize that I'm female as I think people won't want to play. I'm still learning and bless your souls for the patience.

Kinda hard to realize you are a woman from the nickname.

Being an ex-chess player, i have played against people over 60 and lost to them. If you want to catalog chess as a sport or not, it is still a game.

My mom around that age too, she cant stop playing candy crush, a lil bit more casual than you, but meh. I prefer see her playing candy crush than watching her lose the money at the casino.

If i saw someone around their 60's, i would probably be curious for a moment, since its unusual, but i wouldnt be surprised at all.

BTW, its extremely annoying to play with teenagers, even with people in their early-mid 20's.

I don't ask nor care about age or gender. All I really care is if they're nice or not. If they're friendly enough, then I'll talk/play with them since that's all that really matters in a game anyway. I usually get more annoyed at younger gamers as they tend to be rude and awfully entitled. But again, even if it's blatantly obvious they're young, as long as if they're nice, I'll help them out.

Besides, people mistake both my age and gender constantly. I've had more than one person 10 or so years my senior surprised when they found out how old I am. The joke with me (offline) has always been that I look much younger than I am, but act way too old. :p

I usually think of people like they are their character and not themselves. So, everyone is a lvl 2014 troll.

I am now imagining a 65 year old grandma pwning n00bs in Counter-Strike while taunting people over the mic and poking fun at their age

It feels good.

As long as they aren't being douches who cares what age or gender they are.

This reminds me of a recent italian playstation ad: Il Compagno Giusto - By The Pills

Title of the video: "the right companion"

The guy is basically saying stuff like "cover me!", "Help me!", "I'm almost dead!", "they are hitting me!", "nooo, I'm dead! :(" and she's all "You didn't tell me you were an incompetent! You made me look bad with the Koreans!"

So awesome haha I want to be like that when I'm older! heh

my dad is 50 ;_; i wish he gamed, he doesnt even know what a desktop background is, and I got told off for having one that I drew starts crying (true story)

I've played with older dudes than me in L4D2 once, dunno their ages and really, to me someone is old once he gets close to 70 ( i'm 18 btw ):P Well, those guys were so damn funny XD they all had mics, and i was cracking up at their reactions during the game x) There's no difference between the ages, only maybe older people are more mature than young people, who tend to insult every single thing that they see when they rage, and it's not all of the kids who are acting like that ...

I've played with a 45 year old on a TF2 trade server. He was a nice guy, very funny, and was from the same city as me. As soon as he said his age (on his mic) some douchebag started with the "Aren't you too old to be playing videogames!?" bullshit. I'm 28 and will more than likely play video games til the day I die.

I'll say this again... If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a gamer aint one
