Ladies: How often do guys hit on you online?

[Mini_Watto]

I think one of the main reasons that guys try to flirt with "gamer girls" is that they find the idea of a girl who plays Black Ops or MW2 (Halo, whatever you want) so out of the blue they are surprised. They also find the idea of a girl who plays games so damn sexy they become obsessed, since they are addicted to the game themselves. On topic (ish) I get it the other way round. I even met my gf playing minecraft. Just a random meeting on a server though. Weirdly, I once had a guy (I'm assuming he was gay) trying to hit on me. Fortunately I then lost my internet connection. Still, I never try to hit on girls online, just the occasional sandwich joke, which they usually laugh at.

The gamer girl has a boyfriend? *Groans*

Honestly I don't see why a guy would hit on an online girl. Unless the girl happens to be in the same city as you, don't bother. Or if the girl hits on you first. Then jump in.

Most gamer girls have boyfriends. They're extremely desirable as mates. Hell, I want one. I WANT ONE BADLY. But she has to be better at most video games than I am. Otherwise I will not accept her dominance in the relationship!

STOP JUDGING ME!

Sorry to hear about your illness and surgery I hope you feel a bit brighter soon.

As for charisma anyone who likes Deadpool is okay with me. Looks like you're another target for Fluffy Cthulhu. nyrawr nyrawr

You just told somebody with skin cancer to feel brighter?

I'm so sorry and I don't mean this as an offense to you, but I am laughing my ass off at that line for some reason. XP
My mind works in mysterious ways, so don't worry about not finding this funny at all.

To be fair, I don't 'have' skin cancer anymore. They carved it out of my back. Which wasn't especially fun. The scar still hurts every so often.

Anyway, there isn't any reason to not joke about it. I got a really awesome scar out of the ordeal, and an excuse to become a hermit. Which I like. Alot. More on the scar thing...I actually have a class D security license (Which is basically unarmed Security Guard level), so I just tell people the scar is a knife wound. Which isn't really un-true...a scalpel is a knife. I think.

Personally, I've always found the idea of people hitting on women on the internet to be a tad...
Creepy.

No real point in it really. Chances of the girl living remotely near you aren't high. Even then, they probably aren't looking for romance on the internet. Dating websites excluded.

Whenever I see a girl on the internet, I go "Huh, that's neat. Back to my killing spree."

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Being a man, I shall give a totally non-serious answer.

Every time they watch this advert!

Spoiler: You know you like it, really.

Yeah, I still love that.

My brain breaks a little every time I watch that commercial. He's just too suave.

Feel my judgement. For it judges you.

JK. I agree. Except I would want her to have the same skill as me. (Tieing her in Guitar hero or Cod. That would be hot.) And tastes. If she is a freaking facebook game player... I would not want anything to do with that. (I only play one game on Facebook and that would be Tetris. It is a good time waster.)

 

[Timberwolf0924]

welp, might as well say it. I flirt/compliment every girl who comes on line. Why, because I'm winning. I've turned many female xbox friends into facebook friends into sexting friends . No really I have.

But also there's a lot of women who don't want to be hit on while she's trying to knife someone in the back. I've been told to 'shut the f**k up' on more then one occasion. Of course I don't, which makes them see my love for commitment, and women like that. lol.

But I have a great friend that I met on RE5 games, and me and her have really grown close. She's in TX now and I plan a trip sometime soon out there. Fingers crossed everyone!

 

[Azaraxzealot]

Sheesh.

Come on girls, we're not that bad.

No-one I know or game with insults girls online, nor do they try to hit on them.

you must not be playing on xbox like me XD

when my brothers are playing call of duty online all i can hear is people yelling about "bitches" and "hos" and blasting their misogynist hip-hop (i'm not saying all hip-hop is, but they always play the bad kind :/) and insulting each other's mothers (seriously, pretty much every hour i hear this)

in any case, i didn't meet any girls whilst gaming online. i know my fiance plays online a LOT, but i met her through a dating site (half-counts?) she can recall ALWAYS getting teased and trolled for it.

I get that, don't think I tried to be offensive. And yeah, it's not there anymore, but I'm German so don't count on my choice of words always being the right one. I got pretty heavy surgery myself and the scars occasionally bug me, so I guess I can relate enough to joke about any surgery. Horizontal cuts on both sides of the ribcage, around 3 inches long. But hey, they look bad enough that girls feel sympathetic and I probably look like I was stabbed by a claymore straight through the body (close, but it was actually a titanium bar implanted to correct the sternum, still have that thing, too.) At least I didn't wake up until a few hours afterwards, in the ICU, in so much pain they had to take the painkiller applicator button away from me. I just found it really funny to hear 'feel brighter' when a melanoma is black.

 

[Danglybits]

Yes, not as often as you might think but still pretty often. Not just passing flirting either, along the lines of I'm moving across the country and we will be together. More like that. I don't talk about my sex in game though so it doesn't happen too often. Men aren't too bad, straight couples on the other hand never take the hint.

I don't understand the "hitting on girls over the internet is pointless! It's not like you'll ever meet her" argument. So, the only point to flirting is meeting up and having sex?

I think it's great craic. I mean, it's only annoying if you're bad at flirting. And the only way to get better is to practice. The internet is like a virtual social arena, where unlike real life, if something goes wrong you can just hit the "ignore" button and it's like nothing ever happened.

...Owie. I revoke all statements about my surgery hurting.

My scar doesn't generally gather sympathy, though. Probably because it's in a really awkward spot. Oh well. I can always hope.

 

[gillebro]

Well, as a male, I can certainly defend the guys. I don't see what's so wrong with them looking for relationships online. They might just want to make a better attempt to get to know the girl before trying to start something.

Nothing, but there are other sites for that. Girls who game online most probably want somewhere where they can, y'know, game, online, without having to worry about guys trying to pick them up. It's irritating and it can be creepy. Girls have just as much right to game without being harrassed (yes, having guys trying to pick you up against your will counts as harrassment) as any blokes do.

to the OP: thankfully, never.

I can see the reason to for guys to seek out girls that game. Since many others don't really accept it as something worthwhile. They want to get with a girl they want to game with them, instead having to choose between them. Yet being overly creepy and or annoying is uncalled for and makes it harder for her and yourself.

 

[chronobreak]

If it's harassment, alert the proper channels. If not, you may find a dude you like.

(yes, having guys trying to pick you up against your will counts as harrassment)

Nope. Def not illegal to talk to a chick if you find her attractive. If you actually "harass" her, then there's a problem. You can't expect to go through life putting yourself in social situations while forcing your own moral or ethical justifications on other people expecting them to follow.

 

[Thanatos5150]

I admit, I flirt with girls playing games online.
I also flirt with girls in person.

As a matter of fact, my "Just being nice", default form of social interaction is, I am told, actually flirting.
So, in that respect, it seems that I flirt with everyone.

This infuriates the girlfriend, and I'm trying to cut back. Seriously trying to cut back. Problem is, I'm not even aware I was flirting half the time!
"! Stop flirting with the waitress!" she says...
"Oh, shit. I did it again?" I says...

Im the exact same way its just my normal personality. Im not actually trying to flirt with them though and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble before as well but hey its who I am.

I knew there were more people like this than just me. I knew it.

 

[Myf]

Met my ex bf on wow lol...

 

[Riggnarok]

Occasionally I'll flirt with girls online. I don't really expect any reply and if they say to back off, I humbly do so. I find it fun to see where it goes and it's good practice in the real world.

I've found that I've obtained quite the silver tongue thanks to it.

 

[Wolfram23]

Years back I met a girl in my WoW girl and we dated and hooked up in New York. Good times.

But generally? Eh... I don't know. I might throw out something crude just for shits lol but I've got a wonderful girlfriend at home so it's just "for the lulz".

 

[Ossian]

I've been on the other side of the spectrum, I met a girl in an MMO and she wanted to be "BF/GF" online. I was weirded out I must say, but now I kinda kick myself.

Why? Did not you accept?

If it makes you feel better, you can just think it was a guy in disguise looking to get free shit from you. God knows that I've done it. (AND AM NOT ASHAMED!)
