So Girl Gamers i Have a Question (Edited)

One of us...one of us...

There are far more gamer women around that you think of.

Considering dating one just because she's a gamer....I'm guessing that's an even worse assumption.

I must be getting really old.. I didn't think these things existed ..

no

I'm a woman, and I know plenty of women who play all types of video games. Most have husbands/significant others who game, but I'm pretty sure it was never a deal breaker when it came to dating. I've always found that as long as there is good communication and a few shared interests the relationship will be a good one.

Why is the rum gone?
I drank the rum.

We are more common than you think, because whether or not I have male genitalia doesn't influence whether I want to game or what types of games I like. MOBAs are my favourite, but I also love FPS games (I can take a mean head shot.) I like RPGs, but I do also like The Sims or whatever "girly" game people like to attribute.

More importantly, people like me are everywhere and the vast majority of us would much rather you just ignored gender and focused on the game at hand.

As for relationships, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me but I would be disappointed if my partner didn't play games. An evening of gaming is how I like to spend my time, but if I really liked them then I would find ways to have fun with them without games and just do it in my spare time. I admit, that person would have to be pretty special for me to overlook lack of gaming together though!

why do you focus on the term girl gamer. i think its kind of weird, i thought gamer was a gender inclusive word, like anon. and for dating i dont think its good to box your self up in such a tight box. i know plenty of women that love to play games but wouldn't call them selves gamers. for any relation ship you just have to find some one who will trust and put ip with your hobbys even if she dosen;t participate actively in them.

I would consider myself a gamer (and being a female, I guess that qualifies me for "girl gamer"). However, I don't enjoy all genres (RTS and realistic sports games just aren't my thing), so maybe I don't meet your requirements to answer...? If not, maybe being a game developer gives me bonus points enough to answer. LoL

Oh well, I'll give my answer anyway. Yes, it would be something I look for in a relationship. Reason being, gaming is a huge part my life (it's my career and my main hobby). I would want a partner who would be able to relate to that passion. Luckily, I already found someone, so that's all taken care of. :P

As for the rum... pretty sure it was burned.

Why has the run gone? That's not good enough.

But seriously, yes I am a female gamer and it has no real influence over relationships past or presumably future. For me the more overbearing influence (that has broken a few relationships) is that I am in grad school (PhD) and that takes a lot of time and energy and gives me odd hours and a lot of stress.

There are is no such thing as a girl gamer, only degrees of boy gamers.

(Kind of a reference Warhammer 40K if anyone was wondering)

Real female gamers does not exist.

What is a girl gamer? I know few girls who play videogames but i don't think i've ever met girl gamers

There are no women on the internet. Just creepy old men and FBI agents.
