bad news for guys with a gamer girlfriend

[XzarTheMad]

Alright, let's set this straight:

Sex is not the be-all, end-all goodness of a relationship. Take this from a guy in a relationship going on 7 years. Sex is nice, yes. But it makes up a small portion of the whole deal. It's much more important that, after those 20-30 minutes of intercourse (yes, that's usually all it takes), you can hang out and have fun together. I would much rather give up sex forever, and have someone I could game with always, than the other way around. Why? Because I spend a much greater part of my life gaming than I do having sex.

And now I hear a few lonely, sweaty nerds snarking "then u probably hvnt had good sex lawl", to which I reply: Seven years to get acquainted, 7 years to learn what eachother likes and dislikes, 7 years of setting boundries and knowing what is just right for the other person. Sex is about working together, not about you masterfully using your magic wand of penetration to bring her to orgasmic ecstacy. She will, unless she is a passive lay and you are a necrophiliac, do about 50% of the work, and so it takes time to have truly good sex. But the point still stands that sex is only a very small part of a relationship, and I believe that anyone who would rather have sex than share hobbies and interests is a fairly poor person to be in a relationship with.

There are ways of getting your girlfriend/boyfriend away from a game, you know

Head to the panel and turn off the main breaker. "Oop, power's out!"

[ applause ] Well said, sir!

You would need to ask every girl gamer in the world to get the right numbers. These aren't the right number.

As if sex is the be-all and end-all of the relationship. ¬__¬

Thank you, sir.

Hmm...interesting, I'm not convinced on how true it is though. My girlfriend and I both love video games, together or separately in the same room, but as soon as one of us decides to say "how about some sex?" we can't hit those pause buttons fast enough.

...both of us have been known to request "after this match, I'm doing really well"...

But what the hell, right?

 

[Racecarlock]

Yeah, because I totally trust a nacho cheese corn chip company to tell me about how my sex life will be. You know, like how I trust oil companies to tell me about movie trends.

One thing surveys have taught me is that if you ask a bunch of people a bunch of questions you will get a bunch of different answers. As such I will judge what a person is into based on what they are into, not what the majority of the group they fall into is into.

In other words this information is useless because it is either wrong for any specific case at hand or it is correct purely by the power of probability.

 

[Torrasque]

HEY GUYS, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
ONE OF THE WORLDS LEADING CHIP MANUFACTURERS HAS CREATED A SURVEY ABOUT GAMER GIRLS.
HEED THEIR ADVICE, FOR THEY HAVE INFINITE KNOWLEDGE IN ALL THINGS OUTSIDE THEIR CHIP-FOCUS.

In other news, Bethesda has released a survey showing that females between the ages of 16 and 36, prefer pants over dresses by a margin of 44%...

Also it's not like you can't combine the 2

Exactly, that's why doggy style was invented

Put simply: Having a gamer girlfriend sucks. Nothing gets done in the house, if you are working and she got the day of, don't excpect dinner. They do get more invested in games than we do.

 

[krazykidd]

my question is , So what? I prefer Video games to sex, ( and i do enjoy sex) , but i would do 12 hour of straight gamaing but not 12 hour of straight sex ( well i did once but i was high on exastacy DONT DO DRUGS KIDS ). Also video games dont judge me.


EDIT: By straight sex i mean, 12 hours of sex in a row not meaning sex with a straight person , because i am a straight person and i like straight people , but if your homosexual thats okay too.... DONT JUDGE ME !

 

[Jegsimmons]

thats fine with me because then sex wouldnt get boring, and neither would gameing.


and maby if some people just got better at sex they wouldn't have that problem.
(staring at YOU)

 

[Jegsimmons]

I'm pretty sure the people who like Doritos enough to answer the survey don't really have good sex to begin with.

ba zing...

 

[moosek]

There's something more to this than vague generalization of what people enjoy. Sometimes I'm in the mood to play videogames, sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for sex, but I can get in the mood really quickly.

Passing up on sex isn't an exclusively female thing. There was a day where I was much more excited about going to band practice than going on a date afterwards.

 

[Altorin]

uhh, saying "lol, gamer girls prefer games to sex" isn't even close to true.

for one, the gap between those two answers is 14%, and I'd say the 70% liking sex is probably pretty much all women across the board. 30% of women either don't think about sex favorably due to bad experiences, or wouldn't want to publicize their libidos, even in a confidential survey. No woman wants to be a statistic when it comes to sex.

also, of those 14% that game, even if you count the 70% as legit, how many of them don't have significant others? Women can have just as awkward a time finding a guy if they don't have the social skills then men have finding a girl. So of those 14%, there's gotta be a chunk that would like sex if they could get it regularly, but can't be bothered because they can't.

I was thinking something more on the level of distracting her while she's playing. My girlfriend can't resist abandoning what she's doing when I do certain things... (hell, this doesn't just apply to gaming either)
