Luckily for me my girl likes videogames too. :)
You lucky bastard. I can't even find any male gamer friends (that aren't complete fuckwits who refer to themselves as "Hardcore gamers")

Not really come across that kind of problem. Most guys I know play games, most guys I knew growing up played games and my partner plays games and I don't see him or the rest any less "manly" than anyone else. I'd have thought it was the ones who didn't who'd be seen as "abnormal" in society today but, there ya go. o_O

As many have said, you just got to try and ignore it. People like that are hard to talk round form their opinions. You enjoy gaming and that's all that matters. ^-^

Some people come across as obsessed with 'manly' activities such as sports, gym, and shagging, not because they enjoy the activities, but because they want to portray a powerful macho image.

Some people seem obsessed with money, anything that doesn't involved advancing your pay packet or showing off how much money you have seems to confuse them - why volunteer? You don't get paid. Money = power. They again are driven by rather primitive ambitions.

Other people are obsessed with putting across an image of high intelligence. People who read high brow books in public places specifically so others can see them and think "wow, they're smart". They may often talk down to others, and look down upon anything that doesn't show off intellectual prowess. Knowledge is power, they're sub-concious motivations are less advanced then they would like to think.

Then again other people are sporty/rich/intelligent because they genuinely enjoy the life they live, and are perfectly accepting of other lifestyles.

"If you think I'm a stereotypical geek, then I'm going to treat you like a stereotypical sports idiot."

How's that? :]

So there's this guy on some radio show I listen to who, whenever anything that involves video games(or animation, comics, sci-fi, fantasy, or whatever remotely related), is mentioned, he always answers with...

"I don't watch/play/read that stuff... I like girls... I like sports... I like ESPN..."

Basically, everything else not sports related or involves real women to this guy is not manly... its all kids stuff...

People in my daily life are starting to say similar lines and its starting to piss me off...

So, Besides ignoring them (or turning the radio off), What is a good response to people who think that everthing you like is not "Manly"?

How would you respond to these "manly" people?
I would say Chris Kluwe [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88461-NFL-Punter-Changing-Name-to-Warcraft]

Remember when everyone used to think only cool guys could dominate in games like CoD? "A GIRL who plays VIDEO GAMES? Pffft riiight." How to respond? You really can't. These guys are 'manly' which means they are stubborn. Plus do these guys know about Madden and FIFA and the new MMA game coming out? Pffft if 'gamers' are sissies then my old highschool must not have any real football or basketball players that are national champions.

I think it all comes down to a resounding "who really cares". Put a nice [my opinion is] in front of everything he says. Does it make his opinion less valid? Perhaps not.

But hey, some sports aren't exactly manly (bowling, croquet), and some video-games are manly as hell (Gears of War, Street Fighter, and such.) Being manly and playing games are not mutually exclusive, and same can be said of playing sports and being manly.

Just put the biggest grin on your face you can fake and say to these people: "I really wish I was like you guys, and a little bit less myself." I think they'll get it.

You dose them with horse tranq. They'll go down for the count, but they'll never be able to reproduce.

Sounds like the announcer has severe insecurities about himself and is taking it out on others. I don't see how bullies like that can keep jobs.

Respond with "ahhh yes, "football", nothing better than kicking back and watching a load of men in extremely tight trousers grabbing each others arse and diving on top of each other".

Friend of mine once said that "real men dont play games, they get motor bikes and cruise around". To which the only reply can possibly be "so real men like to dress in leather, straddle and hold on to each other while a machine vibrates up their backside?" No response followed

He's so far in the closet, he's finding Narnia...

I don't see what's wrong with liking both. My brothers a manly man with a 360, but will watch any football match that is on TV. Unless he meant things like JRPGs, just in case they felt some sort of emotion whilst playing it. We can't have that!

You wanna get rid of all the cocksuckers?

People will always be the same, no matter where you live or where you look people will always be the same stupid idiots who act exactly like they're meant to act, in line the whole of their lives, the lucky ones with a deathbed revalation of how pointless it's all been. We have not advanced at all, shit, all the technology we have at our fingertips; how many of you could recreate it from scratch? Any of it.

Shit, you wanna get rid of all the cocksuckers?

Then whose gonna suck all the cocks?
