Y'all best drop that zero and git wit a hero!

Being a genuine gamer girl is a rarity, you're in high demand.
...how about no? I mean honestly, if a girl is so shallow to dump a guy because he wasn't immediately ready to go once she got there it would actually be quite the role reversal. Also I REALLY hate the term "gamer girl". Its as if that is the only way to define a girl who plays games when, honestly, it should be a perk to go along with the package. For instance: if the only quality for being a "gamer girl" is that they play games, about %60 of all "gamer girls" I know are complete undatable (at least for me) bitches that need to learn that they aren't the sun to their boyfriend's planet.

My girlfriend moved in with me and owes me many thousands of dollars so I practically own her
Jesus Christ I really hope you realize what a disgusting mindset that is.

Here is a little tip for some of you guys out there... Actually forget just guys this is for everyone who has a partner. If said partner comes to your to spend the weekend, don't spend all your time playing computer games while said partner sits there watching crap on Netflix. They are there for a reason and most likely isn't to spend the whole time gaming. Now to be fair I've spend a good part of this time with my boyfriend playing wow and some Xbox, but there comes a point in a weekend when you want to do something other than star at a tv screen all day.

I'm off on a rant and am currently pissed off. I'm fine to play games all day but when he is the one suggesting we go for a walk or get movies out or do something else and I agree, he then just continues to play on... It's bloody annoying.

So you may all think that I'm a crazy *****.... Or some of you might take this piece of advice and save yourselves from getting a smack across the head by an annoyed partner.
You have just answered why your boyfriend prefers video game with this post. Congrats on using the Socratic method.
And the sensitivity award goes to...

Seriousl man, there's no need to that.

Perhaps you should use one of those mystical biological phenomena that is your voice
If you haven't made any plans to do anything, and you don't tell him that you want attention then it's your own fault fo not saying anything, as he hasn't realised anything is wrong.
If you agree that you should do something take atcion. Get up get ready and make him get up.

The trick is to find a girl who likes doing the same stuff. I like gaming but yu know don't just get caught up only playing games, make it spontanious sometimes. Like surprise her with a water baloon to the face.

you should just dump him and start dating me. i promise to devote at least 30 minuets a day to romance and shit during load screens.
either that or you can talk to him about it, us dudes love talking about our feelz and stuff
haha.... sounds good. Do you promise to show me attention during every 5 seconds for respawn too? then its a done deal.

Ya I have never had this issue my girlfriend loves playing games with me we do it all the time but I guess that is us and not every couple is that way. Either way though you really shouldn't be crying about it here I mean it doesn't do or solve anything at all. If you have a issue you should solve it by approaching it directly. Talk to your boyfriend he is a human being if your not being a jerk about it he will prolly listen to you.

This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine i hate when people complain rather than fixing the issue. It bothers me even more when they said they tried when really they gave up in a fit of denial without even giving a serious attempt.
I know what your sayoing, and don't get me wrong I love gaming with him. My issue was when it came to the idea of doing something else he just grunted and continued. Also i should mention i did talk to him bout it and things are fine. As i stated in the start it was mnore of a rant andvent than actually complaining on here rather than fixing it.

Thanks for the advice though. :)

Well if he suggests going for a walk and then that doesn't happen then it's natural to feel that way. You're not a crazy *****. You're a reasonable... non-*****.

Yeah! You tell that bastard! And by tell that bastard, I mean rant on a forum, and continue to believe that men are mind readers.

That's one of the biggest problems in relationships; People don't know how to fucking communicate.

Say "Hey, let's go do "x"." And if they say no or ignore you, you fucking leave. Problem solved.

Relationships are amazingly simple.
Oh he knows not only did i tell him, he also seen this post, as i said before this is more of a rant than an actual "what would you do" I know people are not mind readers.

While this is obviously not an assignation of blame - the dude needs to get his priorities straight - I would suggest op may have inadvertently conveyed a "too cool" level of approval re his gaming habit. Relationship threat level is: Minor, but can escalate into: Major (e.g. frustrated forum posts) if adjustments aren't made early. You earn a ton of points with a guy when you like what he likes, but if he doesn't click by himself that you liking that thing does not necessarily mean he should do more of that thing when you're around, it will be necessary to steer him in the right direction. This might be as simple as "Hey square-eyes, tits over here." or less crudely "[name], finish up okay? Time for *us* now."

A good man follows good instructions.
I pretty much used your advice, needless to say it worked for about an hour. I do love gaming with him and such things but for alot of people 12 hours straight can become a little tiring.
He's a good guy just gets caught up sometimes to which my usual reaction of a playful smack and a "hey asshole, real life is this way"

If by awkward, you mean hilarious.

Do you think Susan Arendt would pay me to host a Jeremy Kyle/Jerry Springer style show where I help forum goers air their grievances for delicious low brow entertainment? :D

Anyway, in terms of relationships that were emotionally involved, I have had exactly one, which lasted a couple of months.

Depressingly, the amount of women I have had... adult encounters with exceeds the amount of dates I've been on. I did find, however, that during that one proper relationship that I played my xbox and suchlike much less. Why? Because for some reason, I was very happy not even thinking about games at that time. Not to say she was around to stop me playing games all the time, it was just something that happened of its own accord. I was very content. Then I was cheated on and dumped the day before my preordered Mass Effect 3 arrived. Firing that game up the first time had some mixed feelings brewing in me, I'll tell you.

Just a tangentially related anecdote there for ya...

I do have to state that im not a hardcore gamer. and am relaitvely new to WoW (about a year) but i do enjoy spening the vast majority of the weekend on the xbox or computer,... But a girl has needs. haha Funny i think that was what i eventually burst out with to him.

There are a fair few gamer girls out there though the genuine one's tend to be in hiding alot of the time haha.

A crazy *****? For being annoyed that your partner paid more attention to video games than to you during a weekend visit?

I once had a boyfriend who had a better relationship to his Android phone than he did with me. You deserve better, my friend. But tell your partner how you feel now, don't let things fester.

My girlfriend lives in New York. She came down to visit me here in DC, back in December and we did a lot of stuff together outside. Went out to eat, walked around town, showed her where I grew up. You know normal couple stuff. I took her out on the town for about 4 days straight. She was only staying for a week, but after those 4 days of painting the town red, we had pretty much nothing else to do. Luckily, she bought me Spec Ops: The Line and Dishonored. She's not exactly a gamer herself, but she would lay next to me on the couch and watch as I played through these games. I beat Spec Ops, with her on my arm, and we even spent a good hour talking about the story and its lessons afterwards. Then when I started playing Dishonored, we pretty much fell in love with the Heart of A Living Thing. Her voice captivated us so much that every time we saw a person she would tell me to use the Heart on them to hear their secrets. We did that until roughly the last day of her visit. To end it on a higher note, we decided to go out and do some more town walking. So I really understand what you're talking about here. It's a little difficult to find a balance, because when your partner comes to see you, you have to be able to keep things relaxed yet interesting. But sitting around and doing nothing but playing games can keep it's charm for only so long.
Soooooo
Mind if I ask few impersonal questions?
Who are you? Where do you live? Do you have any weaknesses? (I don't know, kriptonite or something.)
What is your girlfriends name? Where exactly does she live? What does she likes/dislikes?
.
.
.
Why are you staring at me like that?
It's not like I'm going to find you, kill you and then comfort your girlfriend.
You know how ridiculous that sounds?
The very idea that someone might do this is just outrageous.
Oh, man, next you're going to propose that I will befriend you for a few months, then snap your neck, freeze you, feed your frozen body to woodchipper and send remains into river, then make up bogus story that you went to Kongo in brave attempt to stabilize the region, and after that help your girlfriend emotionally, after we receive mail from bribed local that you were killed and eaten by some cannibal tribe.
Because that, that isn't just ridiculous or outrageous, that is totally insane.
Insane and paranoid, I would even say insanoid.
Because there is no plotting going on.
No, sir, zero plotting here.
Hell, even less than that.
Negative plotting (like -7841523).
.
.
.
Although I must admit that one must have balls to think like that.
I like that. Want to become friends???

Ha i would have understood if the galaxy/princess needed saving, But he was waiting for an egg to hatch ffs. Bloody eggs always ruining my happiness.
Its all good, he got his primal raptor and I got 30 mins of attention ha

(I just realised how that sounded, and no i didn't mean it that way, though to be fair, I would have been happy if i hadda meant it that way too)
