When you work with a popular band, people take a liking to you. All the sweaty hugs and times I've just hung out with tons of random people, it's pretty great. In fact, I doubt any of them even know about my addiction.
Yeah, this place is good for that at least. You can watch your dog run away for three days out here. Stupid flat prairies.KenzS said:Ah well at least out in the prairies you can see them from that distance! Haha I joke I joke, even though only us canadians would get itAvsJoe said:
All my friends are gamers....quite seriously....my gf is a gamer...almost all my online friends are gamers as well lol...sooo...in my case..it makes no difference whatsoever
Most of my friends are gamers as well, so you're more of an outcast if you don't play.
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Honestly, I've found that hiding my love of games just creates a mask: that turns people off for sure. If people can't accept you for who you are, they're crappy friends anyway. Find other people who have the same interests as you and go from there.Tears of Blood said:
I'm not popular, per se, but that's mostly because I'm the kind of guy who would rather have a few good friends than a lot of shallow ones. And my good friends can accept my love of gaming and like me for who I am. I was also lucky enough to find a girlfriend who shares my interests.
Point is, don't try to be something you're not. Popularity doesn't matter as much as friendship, and you will only find real friendship in people who can accept you for who you are.
I have a few good friends, a girl friend, and 2 stalker ex girlfriends.Tears of Blood said:
I find it easier to make friends online, and THEN meet them real life though. Why? Because it becomes easier to forge a bond that can't be broken by initial first appearence.
I also find learning of people online more fun because when I visit goth BDSM meeting sites and get them hooked on my kinky ways they tend to not care I am not really goth an only average looking
(Yeah... I like Black Chicks and Goth Chicks... If you don't then you are racist, communist, and intolerant!)
Im pretty average when it comes to friends i guess. Im known as the "gamer" of the group and no one seems to mind.
I have quite a few friends, not as many as some people, not as few as others, but the friends I do have all just label me as the gamer and apart from that it never comes up again. (Probably helps that I also play the guitar, act and write stories. There's so many things which people can label me as, the gamer thing never sticks.)
I'm in the 'popular group' as you might call it.
Games have never really come up as a problem for me, actally quite a few of my friends play games and so a fair amount of my socializing is through games.

I have a lot of friends, and the fact that I game doesn't really affect anything. A lot of my guy friends game a little too, but unfortunately my boyfriend doesn't much. I'll convert him one day.
But yeah, gender and gaming- does anyone think that gaming is more likely to affect your social status if you're male?

My social life is pretty much dead because it seems that any time I get a good conversation going with someone, someone else comes and starts talking to them, and ends up changing the subject to something that I can't follow, like some movie I didn't watch, or how so-and-so who I don't know got wasted at some party.
I am fairly liked by pretty much everyone, but I have very few friends who I actually get the chance to hang out with.
I'm damn near positive that games have nothing to do with it, as I spend a good chunk of my time doing martial arts training and working out. Furthermore, I have several popular friends who have big reputations as gamers - one of them even has a habit of ditching his friends to play XBox, and he's pretty much the life of the party.
