So does everyone agree that normal girls are boring compared to the illusive gamer-girl?
Yes, we are a rare elusive breed of girl and it takes a very special guy to find us. We're like freakin Narnia or something. Specially cos many guys who play are asses who refuse to accept that girls play.
haha its the old stereotype - In the same league as "women are bad drivers". Personally i dont know how you tolerate it, if there is ANY girl online on XBL the shameless[/I] flirting that goes on is cringeworthy.

OT: Currently i work 48-72 hour weeks, i dont meet anyone new whatsoever, and i havent done so in over 3 months, so ive kinda given up for now. Life tends to be easier this way.

It's all well and good in theory. But what if i'm not looking for just any girl to get with. What if I want to find someone who has the same likes and hobbies as myself? So for example a girl who loves playing Xbox 360, watching Animé and has at least 2 level 80 characters on the Horde side in World of Warcraft?

Surely, while i'm in the park or bar picking up chicks she is at home grinding her new Undead Warlock to level 80 with My Neighbour Totoro playing in the background via her Xbox 360?

How do I get THAT chick, OP?
My advice to him was more about getting around his self esteem issues. Ideally, more confidence will give him the ability to more proactive in finding the girl he's looking for.

It's probable that even the girl your looking for will end up in a public place one way or the other. And if not in one of the places I've mentioned, what about gaming and comic conventions? Those are hotspots for geeks finding true love.
If I knew where they were, perhaps OP. I don't think places like that exist here in the UK =(
Depends where in the UK u live. They hold the London Expo twice a year and loads of geeks go there =]

But if you were genuine, OP, I'll give you a prompt question; At what point does infatuation become obsession?
When you start making a shrine out of discarded wads of bubblegum?
Lol, nice Hey Arnold ref there :-D

I actually meant illusive not elusive. They aren't real and neither are you.
Uh oh, I feel an existential crisis coming on...

Where do you find a woman who is looking to keep a man in a manner he could become accustomed to?
Care to elaborate?
Where do sugar mommies hang out. I want to be a kept man :D
Ok, I had to get some outside help for this one. I've never been big on the rich girls, because you almost always have to lie....a lot. But I have a buddy who is kind of like Sam Axe without the spy background, and he had this to say:

"Hmmmm, wine tastings are good. Gourmet cooking stores, high end bars, dog shows. Don't discount dives. A lot of the rich broads looking for a thrill will go to low end pubs. The Prada bag is like a bullseye."
Hmm the immediate problem with that is many fold. Dog shows for one arent particularly high class. Prada bag ? SO a high class girl going slumming will wear her best gear ? Nah.

Ill stick with university & short skirts & long jackets
To a high class girl, Prada is slumming. And as for the dog shows, I wouldn't know. I've never been to one. This is outside advice.

What do you know about hookers?
That unless you're in a legitimate red-light district, with businesses that offer clean girls, I would avoid them. IMO no guy should NEED to go to a hooker for sex. That's a waste of money.

Fuck, romance threads really make me feel good about myself, just because I've never had to ask someone out. They've always asked me. Of course I've also never dumped anyone but moving on..... I'm normally the one who get's asked stuff like this, I've set my friends up on more dates then....... something that would make this a very large number.

Ok, this is tough. No guy should have to change his personality to get with a girl. Statistically speaking, there should be millions of girls in the world who will like you, despite what this girl feels makes you boring.

On that note, if she's merely misinterpreting you, then offer to prove her wrong. Ask her to hang out, and take her someplace interesting. Where is it you live exactly? I might be able to suggest a few options to help you shake things up.

Thank you very much for your good advice Dwight and especially Catchphrase. You both got me thinking with some new perspective. I'm keeping this short since there really isnt much to say that comes to mind anyway. You have my sincerest thanks, I really appreciate it :)

I'm sorry but this is bullshit... I am always impressed with a girl who has the guts to come up and chat a guy up, especially if she is funny and charming about it.

My missus was the one who came up and picked up on me in a bar and to this day I still think it was cool.

Why do girls not like my shiny and impenetrable suit of plate mail? I'm a provider, a lover, I don't leave my chain-gun on the mantlepiece, I hang it over my bed-pod next to the severed heads of my foes. Tell me my accredited chum, am I too forward? Should I not bathe her house in the blood of a vanquished nation? Why can't I bring myself to risk friendships? Should I spare the white rhino it's life as a species instead of crafting a mighty horned chariot to show up at her house in?

I'm so confused.
Now Ultra, the problem you have is probably to do with the smell of those severed heads, hollow them out and use them as candle holders to make yourself a bit more romantic.
This, you see. At least put some incense in there. You're bound to have some of that, right?

Although, keep the chariot. It would impress me anyway.

Do you help with the other way around? A girl looking for a guy?
Firstly, sorry for the double post.


According to OP's logic, if you stand in a bar long enough you should have a couple of guys come up to you and say "Hi" then make small talk with you and then leave.

If they don't, just make 'eyes' at the guy you like and as long as he's interested, he should come to you. Girls should never approach guys, because that's just unnatural (and i'm old fashioned)
What? Girls should never approach guys? How old-fashioned are you? Women are not helpless, you know. It's not like our lives only begin when a man comes to us.


I think that if any woman is confident and feels good about herself, if she isn't afraid to strike a conversation about something inane just to get the ball rolling---she should just go for it. The key is to relax. The worst he can do is say 'no' or ignore you and if he does that, then you wouldn't want him in the first place so cut and move on.

From my experience, guys can tell the difference between awkward, tense woman and relaxed, engaging woman. Just like a woman can tell when a guy is nervous and when he's confident. And that first impression can make all the difference. :)

Completely miss mine [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.122397?page=5#2474648], or is it one of those doozies (if I ever use that word again, shoot me...) that requires more thought? ;)

As a quick update, I'm now officially levelling up a Warlock in WoW to help out her guild - apparently they don't have any that can raid properly. Along the way, I'm gonna get talking to her more and hope that I don't hit the friend zone. I'm calling it the "Knight in piss-poor armour" technique. I'll post results in six months when bugger all has changed.
