It's one thing to know what to do and another to actually do it.

I've had girlfriends in the past...I just don't happen to have one now.

Is that supposed to make me uninformed?

A lot of it is common sense as well.

Usually the advice is asked for, it is not as if millions of game playing nerds tell you how to treat females and force you do it their way:P

Hmm. Maybe , and I know that this may be hard to believe , we do have girlfriends and have had girlfriends in the past. And that people here are not the underground troll hermits that people think we are.

Did you take a poll of every member of Gamespot? And you don't exactly need experience to give advice, though it certainly helps.

And as was already said, most of the times it's just common sense.

What he said.

I have had and am in a relationship, more experience -- and I can contribute the female perspective. So thats why I usually contribute. Especially since a lot of the responses are responses that make me go --- wtf!

I was about to say that they're missing the "I've had one" option. Also that's just 242 people who've responded, and there's 1,600+ members who are just online at the moment.

Troll?

I'm getting hitched in May, so I would say that there are some big assumptions being made here, TC.

And like others have said, these people are asking for advice. It's not like there's a stickied thread titled "Give your half-baked relationship advice here."

A lot of my friends on here have girlfriends or are married...

I usually comment on those threads because I am a girl, so I try to offer advice from a girl's perspective

I do not currently have a gf but have been in several relationships, almost proposing to one of them. Due to that and counselling classes I've taken I think myself to be fit to give relationship advice in these forums on the occasion.

I'v had a girlfriend for about 2 and a half years, and the advice i would give is, act yourself, if you meet a girl , treat her like a mate but not as full on.

I currently have a girlfriend. Not every "gamer" is a "geek" anymore. Gaming has moved into mainstream over the last few years, and lots of people play them.

Your right just because you like games doesn't make you a nerd. I use gamespot while im on MSN talking to lots of girls i know. I play games because there fun thats all doesn't make me some sort of freak.
