So, um. Any half-decent looking gamer girl has guys fawning over them? Fuck, I must look like a cow. Doesn't help that all I meet are techno-illiterate jocks and rednecks.
Here is my deal: love comes hard to find if you're desperate to find it. Just take a step back and relax. If you're desperate you will come off as needy. *shrugs* Just what I've picked up.

Looking at your picture trust me you don't need makeup and you probably get noticed just fine, the issue lies in approachability, are you actually open to be chated up or do you wear the standard issue girl sneak eyes.TehCookie said:
Getting gussied up pretty much puts a "want attention" sign on your forehead, plus it will quickly expand your attraction into the skank hunter area so you get double coverage.
You could even go wild and say Hi to a guy you like, extra options are always open, I'm just saying you don't need much spit and polish for the average guy.
Actually the same needs to be said about guys, you don't need to be Brad Pitt to impress and if the girl is only looking for such a guy you are better off not knowing her, but you will need to be interesting and work on your charm.
Probably should not bother getting a gamer girl specifically. For better chances it is better to be open to more possibilities. I find it extremely difficult to have similar hobbies and interests with the opposite gender.
For example my last girlfriend that I met online liked a band that I liked. Ended up meeting her and dating her for a few months and realized that our similarities basically ended with liking the same band. We had nothing else in common.
But, like mentioned in other posts you might try an online dating site. I think those are good because you can get a feel for their interests by reading their profile, and you also know they are single. It is also a hell of a lot awkward. I find it frustrating to try to talk to a girl for awhile only to find out she already has a boyfriend.

Well they would have a far better idea if you stopped plastering over your faces, but I have never been with a girl that would powder up like that.TehCookie said:That is me in makeup though, my issue is that's what guys think is normal and think makeup is limited to clown faces.
Natural faces and neutral makeup are completely different.
And the comparison is manipulative bullshit, in the first part everything is stacked against her and in the second every photo trickery is used for her.
Yes people look better if they put some effort into it so they aren't a complete slob but they really don't haveto go far, it is far more important to put effort into accepting oneself.
Eh, not to impose here, but I think you don't really have your priorities set straight. Seems to me your most important criteria for that "special someone" is "is a gamer". That's not how it's done. You really should focus more on finding someone who actually works out for your relationship. I've seen plenty of people get burned badly for thinking hobby preferences or other points of interest are the most important thing to look for, and it just doesn't work out. Sure, having hobbies in common is a great bonus, but you can't exactly base a relationship on the fact that both of you play games. One of my best friends is in a fucking horrible relationship where common interests are pretty much the only positive thing she can even find about it. Games and music, mostly.
So, sure you can look for a gamer girl. But for the sake of whatever astral deity you believe in, don't go falling head over heels at the first sign of a female homo sapiens indulging in games of digital nature. Trust me, you'll want a good, actually fitting girl a lot more than you'll want someone who likes games. Those aren't mutually exclusive, necessarily, but they sure as hell aren't equally important.

Also this. Unless you're some kind of a shut-in (and no, this isn't an insult, I mean that in the most uninsulting way possible) and do nothing but play games all day, then that's simply not true. And if you do, well, I don't think you can blame games for making them your whole life. A lot of people socialize actively and go out despite playing games. It's when you start to get into that "Well I'm a gamer!" mindset at the exclusion of everything else you're going to find it impossible to have a social life. And that's not the hobby's fault.TestECull said:
I have to disagree on that point, girls who spend a lot of time on looking good tend to look pretty meh to me, and give off an aura of being wayyyy too high maintenance. Could just be because I'm in southern California though.IndomitableSam said:
To the OP, if it's that important to you, best bet is looking in games. I met my girlfriend of over four years in WoW, and we lived on opposite sides of the country when we met. It's rough at first, but if there's solid chemistry you'll find a way to be in close proximity before long.
I'm not sure...I tend to sit in my apartment pantsless and talk on internet forums..So you may have to break into a few houses be crafty.
I think the best way to do it is to casually throw a few gamer puns/jokes into a conversation with a girl. I'd only do this if you have a sense she's a potential gamer. If she'll banter them back, you'll know she's smart/witty, AND likes Skyrim/Halo/Diablo/Pokemon.

Was that you directed at me or general you? For the former I'd say read the entire post you quoted, if the latter I agree.Mr.K. said:Well they would have a far better idea if you stopped plastering over your faces, but I have never been with a girl that would powder up like that.TehCookie said:That is me in makeup though, my issue is that's what guys think is normal and think makeup is limited to clown faces.

Gamer girls are not unicorns you know. If all you do is play games then no girl will want to be stuck with you, even the ones that enjoy games. Its a hobby, not an obsession. Go out and do other things, people with multiple interests are better than just the one. I think you would prefer to sit holed up in your basement like a wow player cliche - an no girl will ever want that.
Make one.
Thats what I did. I introduced her to games that I knew that she would love. And forced her to play hehehe.

In your guild/PUG?
At Fry's / Best Buy / GameStop / Barnes & Noble gaming/manga section?
A dating site that includes gaming as an interest?
College Dorm? (assuming you are in college - trolling college dorms if you are not a student there is more likely to get you arrested than a date)
I think the people arguing against looking for a "gamer girl" are setting a double standard. If you had said, "Hey, I like kayaking, but kayaking is often a solitary experience, so does anyone have advice on where I can find a kayaking girl with whom I can share my interests?" you would not have this level of outrage at looking for a gamer girl.
I personally, went with the route of finding a girl and then introducing her to gaming. She plays some, but not a lot and that is often an area where we had more in common. Finding someone to share interests with is nice, but in the long run, if you have interests that don't interest each other very much, it can also be a weakness. I cannot spend hours gardening with my wife without getting bored to death, she cannot spend hours gaming without doing the same. Yes, we do have many other shared interests, but the fact of the matter is that if she were more into gaming, we would spend more time together. Luckily, our youngest daughter is a huge gamer.

That depends entirely on the person. I have friends, both male and female for whom gaming is more of a lifestyle and an influence on many other things in their lives. For others, it's a way to kill a few hours a week.Woodsey said:
