The biggest thing you skipped or gave up for the sake of gaming.

[Sarciss]

Back in Vanilla WoW i used to skip parties/birthdays to go raid BWL/AQ40/Naxx.
My eyesight is complete shit, i can't read the big SAITEK logo on my keyboard without my glasses either
And sleep, had a first to 2nd rank 1 on cod, musta stayed up 3 or 4 days for that, didnt even come close to winning -.-

Pretty much gave up any and all efforts to go outside and meet new people outside of work and threw away any hope of losing my virginity anytime soon. But then again I'm rather bitter by now so I don't think it would happen anyways.

Lol, gaming isn' always a mojo-restricter. Try and get a girlfreind play halo 3 online she might even like it and her views on games might change. Then again getting a girlfreind is the hard thing in the first place.

Thanks for the nice thoughts and effort but by this point in life I've pretty much given up on dating and what not. Just do my job, go home, play games, eat, shower, sleep and then do it all over again come morning.

Well if you're gunna be like that.... no, but seriously, cute girls aren't that bad and if you get into the CORRECT mindset it can be the most fun 'game' you'll ever play

I don't follow you, what you do mean by cute girls aren't that bad and what "correct mindset" do you mean?

Work, food, sleep.

Skipped out on prom, mostly 'cause my girlfriend turned out to be a total psychopath, and because I really didn't want to waste a lot money on shit I'd regret buying the next day. I went out and bought The Boondocks box set that night. Good times =).

Skipped out on the funeral of some great-aunt of mine to play Fallout 2 again. Thankfully, my Mum was never mad about it, seeing as how I didn't know the aunt at all.

I dunno, mostly just stuff I'd skip anyway, even if I didn't have a video game to play.

He is an adult, he probably already knows.

Well I am wondering about that whole "correct mindset" crap because I can read most women the same I can read a book that's printed in Latin.

Well from the sounds of it you're not socialising with them at any level and while this tends to be a bit of a generalisation, among 'gamers' there tends to be the idea that girls (particularly cute ones) somehow have this magic ability to A) read your mind, and B) want to rip open your skull and eat your brains.... or something to that extent

As for the correct mindset... that's an entire forum thread post in itself lol But in your particular situation it would begin with breaking up your routine. Let me ask you this, have you ever considered learning Ballroom Dancing?

But trust me mate, it isn't too late to turn things around, as long as you want to.

Do you actually realise how many guys out there do NOT know what's going on? And it's worse amongst gamers cause during their formative years they ARE awkward with socialising so do NOT go and socialise, they play games instead, and cause they play games and enjoy it more they stay inside and so the cycle continues....

Is it alright if you and I take this to messages? I don't wanna fill this thread with posts about dealing with my crap.

 

[Unholykrumpet]

...I gave up on a friendship in 4th-6th grade because summer before 4th grade my friend and I were both playing...NEOPETS!!! /CRY What's really sad is that he stole my neopoints and my rod of ultra nova I had tricked a kid out of...and I hated him for 2 years. I stopped playing neopets after his treachery, so I guess I should kind of thank him. Well...I still have an account just so I can play Meerca chase (don't judge me)

Not to attack you...but you do understand that some guys just aren't into relationships when they are in highschool, right? Some guys would rather enjoy highschool (though not neccessarily through videogames), then have highschool tainted with bad relationship memories. Personally, I wasn't looking for a relationship...but ended up in three of them...and I honestly wish I hadn't. It's mainly because my first relationship, the one that I was too young to realize how great it was, ended because I was a dumbass. And now I want her back, but she labels me as "a gamble"...but enough of my problems.

Leave the bloke alone.

Whoa whoa! Easy folks, he's not bashing me or anything. I really don't have much of a clue when dealing with women and I'm asking that's all.

Not to pry Unholykrumpet but I'd give up with her cause she sounds like a ***** if she won't take you back cause of a mistake.

 

[sma_warrior]

All I'm doing is offering another option. An alternative to what is curently going on. Nothing more. If he's interested, I'll happily provide it to him. If not, then I'll respect him for his decision and leave him be.

It's creeply, every where I go online I either kill entire threads or trigger wars like this without really doing anything, it's getting creepy. >.>
