Poll: Would you quit gaming if your partner asked you to?

[Woem]

I'd get a new partner

Likewise. If he's going to be my partner, he'd have to be a gamer. But then, I hear male gamers aren't too too hard to find.

I hear female gamers outnumber male gamers nowadays, though they're all bored housewives playing bejeweled

That's funny, I don't even know how to play bejeweled. I just know the sounds a Thorian makes when it's shot.

This video touches on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8ZVZRsy8N8

The guy has a couple of other interesting video aswell, everyone should watch them

That's indeed a very good reading/watching.

I would also advice our very own Moviebob's Game Overthinker episode on female gamers and females in games:

That's odd, KimboRambo- I've actually seen that before. Very interesting.

Nope.

It's like my partner to go without makeup... it's just not gonna happen.

 

[Nannernade]

I wouldn't quit but I would game less, because I need at least one hobby in my life to be happy. If it does spin out of control to the point I go into bad habits then I would probably quit gaming for awhile.

People need activities that they can have to themselves. So no, I wouldn't. I think I would naturally cut down on it, but I wouldn't quit.

I don't actually game that much at the moment. I can do perfectly well without gaming. If my partner were to ask me to completely stop doing anything with music besides listening to it, I'd go mad.

Gaming is not just a hobby for me, it is my livelihood. Luckily this means asking me to quick gaming is asking me to be unemployed, so I have "gamer security"

Now we finally know what he was singing about.
"I would do anything for love....but I wont do that".

Seriously though, yes. But they wouldnt have to ask me, it happens naturally with me, when i fall for a gal, i naturally want to spend more time with them, coz i like them and spending time with them, its not a concious decision that im making not to spend time gaming, Im just doing what i love, following the wants of my heart...so to speak

 

[LeonLethality]

I would game a lot less but never give it up.

Ditto no matter who it is I WONT give up gaming. Ever.

 

[adledog]

if your partner said you have to completely give it up theyre a pretty bad partner in my opinion. My girlfriend doesn't mind that Im a gamer cause I only do it when shes not around.

I'd dump the crazy on spot. Change is not something someone demands or should expect. You pay for the package inside, not what you'd like to be in the box. Sorry, no refunds. If you do not like said product, there's a dumpster right outside waiting for me.
