[QUOTE="MuddVader"][QUOTE="Solid_Tango"] Honest advice: Do not try to find a gamer girl, they are hugely overated, just go for the quiet smart ones :DD3nnyCrane
And than get them into Gaming :D Or your pants... HAYOOOO!I play that game by myself some times. It's really more of a multiplayer experience.

She's bisexual I think. She mentioned that she had a boyfriend before. Well you win this thread's olympic stalker medal. Sorry Miss Bianca. =\ Ah well, one can only stalk so many.
Girl gamer is not all that, besides complimentary>>>>>>>>>>similarity

It's a veeery old game, four player requires one of those adapters to provide extra controller slots, like on the PSX.
Here in NYC, I run into girl gamers all the time. And what I noticed is that the majority of them like violent games. GTA, RE, and one couldnt wait for MW2 :?
Why is it that near me I'm in all the gaming areas in my town all the time and there are never girls around. Is there a better way to meet them cause I'm getting frustrated with not meeting any near me

Gamer girls are overrated. Search for the smart ones :P
Gamer girls are annoying and overrated. Just find yourself a nice normal girl.rcignoni
That´s really a matter of personal preferences, is it not. You´re just making a sweeping generalization based on your own experiences. (or by the looks of it, lack thereof).
This topic did not unfold as I figured it would... -most end up with OT ridiculing the OP...entertaining in its own right -but this one turned out to be waaaay more entertaining than I thought it would. good job OT In regards to the question at hand, You need to decide what the most important factors are in a potential mate. -if gaming is up near the top, find a way to include that in your search criteria (dating site, local places, etc.) -my hope though, is that being a gamer (or not) would not be a deal maker (breaker) for you ...but then again, I am just introducing some of my own criteria...to each his own and best of luck

There are gamers that happen to be girls, and there are girls that happen to be playing games.
Alright, that's just saying it backwards, but I do have a problem with the girls that play mmorpgs and feel the need to tell people they're female and get special treatment for it. I know a few girls who play online and don't mention their gender, and I respect them alot for it.
I am not trying to pick on anyone, but why do most people try to "change" their mate/spouse -a great deal of posts say "make them like it", "turn them into gamers", etc. -it is one thing to introduce a person to something -it is quite another to try and change others
Sorry, this is just a pet peeve of mine...people are not projects…they are what they are, for the most part -although, altering people's behavior for amusement purposes can be quite entertaining

You have a good point there. To be honest alot my girl mates actually enjoy playing games when they tried it, maybe thats cos i didnt try to pwn the noob first time i handed over the controller.
But there are others who dont like it and well thats just something we dont have in common, nothing to get stressed about cos we have other things in common and cos gamingisnt my life we still have fun.
It just seems that both parties end up miserable when one tries to change the other (or both try to change eachother) -people are who they are -some change can be good, but people are generally happier being themselves -if you need toc hnage a lot of things about a person to be with them, then maybe you should not be together in the first place...understanding another is far better than trying to change them IMO

Yea if you dont actually like the same things then why are you together in the first place You can like different things and enjoy doing things that the other does not -but you have to be understanding and able to spend time apart doing the things you each want to do -time apart is just as important as time together IMO -your personal identity cannot be wrapped up in another individual But I will admit that it makes things easier if you enjoy most of the same things -just not a requirement IMO You have to decide for yourself what is/is not a deal breaker
[QUOTE="Wolls"] no of course not, but activlly trying to change someone to suit your wants will only make them annoyed with youDystopian-X
We agree on that being ok then then? Correct? If so..
Did you read my post... I said it is one thing to introduce, but it is another to try and change themrawsavon
Semantics. If you introduce them to it, specially with that intention and they get into it, you've technically changed them. Not semantics...unless you are trying to play it that way. The end result MAY end up the same. But it is all about INTENT. There is a difference b/w showing someone something and hoping that they may like it and actively trying cause them to change -usually the later involves a great deal of effort over a long period of time -the former is usually a one time event (maybe twice)

I ment that if you feel you feel you HAVE to force your girlfriend into gaming then maybe you dont have much in common really and maybe shes not a good match for you.

Damn quote mess D:
Well first of all the intent is practically the same. Why do they want to turn them into gamers? To share a common interest. The only difference is that one is constantly trying or places more emphasis on it but in the end both agree that things would be better if they shared that interest.

Sure, if you desire to be constantly trying to change him/her, and all that you better move on. But I must say sometimes constantly trying works. >_> "runs"
[QUOTE="rawsavon"] So we will agree to semi-agree :PDystopian-X

Hey...get back here so I can try and change your view on this issue ;)

Lol I ran bcus you said earlier that it's a pet-peeve of yours. But then again trying to change someone isn't always a "project". Minor things no...but I have just noticed that many people (including myself when I was younger) get into intimate relationships and try to change fundamental things about their partner.
Most girls i know are no interested in games either.. my last GF liked a few though, and she enjoyed watching some! She really liked MGS4 and I quote "It's like a love movie :|" :lol:

She should have starred in the recent PS3 ad with Uncharted 2...where the GF was watching the "movie" for 3 days

Of course, that was my point, if we agree w'd be happier with getting them into something, say a hobby like gaming, is trying constantly that bad other than jsut being hella annoying?
