So the boys and girls (sometimes boys/boys and girls/girls) can meet up and play games together.

Is this a good idea?

I agree. I think the relationships wouldn't last long. Because they will probably fight over whether iOS gaming is legit or not. Lol.

No. First of all it's a bad idea in general, secondly there are only like 6-10 female posters in OT, two of which are gay.

You can't just make that a point on its own. Online dating has proven to be a great idea in many different countries.

I think most of us don't live any were near each other, and the ration of male to female is way off. Besides most of us are young and if we're looking then we should be able to find dates on our own.

I'm not sure those games reside in the "video game" category, if you know what I mean. :P

Awesome! I love sausage fests! I'll try the bratwurst, maybe get some beer.. I'd be like the ones they have in Germany! My spicey deer sausage would win the competition!

Bold idea, but I personally think we're better off without it...

1. The ratio of male-to-female members is too great. As someone said before, there'd be about 100 guys chasing just the one girl.

2. There are already dedicated dating websites purely for gamers. There was a video from the GSAU team about it, posted a few weeks back.

3. Dating sites legally require you to be 18, while Gamespot is for those aged 13 and older. Sure, you could seal off the dating section alone, restricting it to those aged 18 and over, but there would probably be kids who would put in a fake age, etc. if only in order to get access.

4. I personally believe it would draw some of the "professionalism" away from the site. People would be posting inappropriate messages towards each other, and frankly, I think it'd probably be more chaotic as time went on.

5. If two members on Gamespot feel that they're getting that special "connection" and would like to take it one step further, what's stopping them from sending them a PM or asking for their Facebook account?

Hell no...if you want a date go outside and find a girl. You'll get rejected a lot but through failure you will learn how to talk to girls. Trust me a gamespot dating service will surely fail and honestly I'll take a good percentage of them.

It's not. Giving up would be to stop looking altogether. Internet dating is just trying another avenue. I've done enough internet dating to write a book on the topic, and trust me, it's just another avenue for meeting someone with its own set of pros and cons.
