YouTuber roasted for claiming this popular activity is the most unattractive hobby a man can have: ‘You are incorrect’

Liz Wheeler was quickly hit with backlash from men and women alike.

nypost.com

Does she understand about 99% of men play some form of video games? What does she want? Someone who just works 80 hours a week so she can sit on her can all day?

This reminds me of the 'gamers stink' stuff the games media used to put out. Yeah, some of them smell like absolutely trash. But have you been to a store in general? Most people smell like trash, not just gamers. I guess men that are into sports is the peak male figure. I mean, just look at this piece of lust right here:

My one advice to any man... find yourself a girl gamer to be your girlfriend/waifu... trust me... everything will just make sense.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Oh well.

 

[DryvBy]

Oh well.

Your user name is suspicious...

 

[The Cockatrice]

Within certain groups or types of women she is right. If you want the traditional tall blonde sunflower dress wearing hot babe, you're prolly not going to win her over playing games all day.

 

[saintjules]

Woof

Isn't the tongue in cheek saying that women want a triple 6, at least 6 feet tall, at least a six figure income and a six pack abs.

Was at my man's house a few years ago and we were playing Street Fighter IV. His girlfriend came in, called us immature because games are for kids.

After our session, she came to the living room and then flipped the channel to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Eh.

 

[Bond007]

Who cares.
Out of all those listed- gaming is the most mainstream. Its gonna get clicks and its gonna get her what she wants - ATTENTION.

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean would you want a woman whose active and engages with the real world or dark dwelling ogre who "chats shit with the boys"

While she's obviously generalizing, it's not a ridiculous notion at all to think that a hard-core gamer is not all that attractive to a woman.

Like all people online she's just taking it to the extreme for internet fame.

 

[Wooxsvan]

A woman nagging about my videogame playing is least attractive

 

[Killer8]

 

[PanzerCute]

 

[splattered]

She's ugly AF... she might want to try playing some videogames to attract some men?

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Picked the last option, bathing just washes away the musk that’s gonna attract your mate. Pheromones are very real look it up.

 

[Topher]

I've been playing games since I was under 10 years old.

Will be celebrating 30 years of marriage in October.

So.....

 

[GymWolf]

I break my ass at the gym to counter my nerdiness and lucky for me i have a cute face and i'm very tall, but a woman that is completely against videogame is not a catch at all, women have all sort of dumbass hobbies and shit, i'm not gonna take any sort of trolling for liking videogames from people who believe in horoscopes...

Watching fucking oprah is more brainded than playing any videogame.

 

[reinking]

 

[Alebrije]

This aricle looks from a 1980 Cosmopolitan magazine...time has changed , videogames are massive and more women not just are fine with their couple playing videogames , women play more videogames than decades ago.

Not that hot. Looks like Tom Brady with a blonde wig.

[King Dazzar]

She comes across as a bunny boiler to me.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Guarantee she happily sucked the dick of a gamer whether she knows it or not.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

So?

 

[PeteBull]

She is right, at least here in eastern europe i never mention it on dates, ofc there are grades to it, u can play 2h on saturday and another 2h on sunday and consider ur hobby gaming, but even 4h/week is looked down upon by women, even if u got ur place/are financially stable etc most women (not all, some dont mind, but most) think of gaming as waste of time, aka in their mind u as a guy simply should either devote that time to her(aka "common interests" which are her interests;p) or put that time into working more, aka create more resources she can benefit from.

It all makes sense, guys with gaming hobby are like women with high education/ambition/career- its never a plus and quite often a negative(all those career women have to turn more masculine/less agreeable, more demanding etc, which ofc is very unatractive

 

[Doom85]

Woof

Taxidermy was that low?!

No wonder the ladies don’t want guys who play video games, their perfect man is IN a video game.

 

[mitch1971]

Bathing is overrated.

 

[BlackTron]

I dealt with a royal mindfuck of a woman for a while because well she would do shit like come over and ask to play Turtles in Time. No one wants to give up that shit.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I think more men think HC is attractive than women.

lol I think you mean career women? Though maybe STD's fit in to all of this somehow...

 

[BigLee74]

What Topher said.

Having said that, if I ever split from my wife and find myself in the dating game, I would never lead with ‘I play games’.

Maybe go on a few dates and charm her senseless first before I let her see/hear the nightly COD session with buddies

 

[finalflame]

Yikes

 

[Zathalus]

Gaming is one of the things me and my wife bonded over. She has been playing since her dad bought her a PS2 as a kid.

 

[Schmendrick]

stop making stupid people famous,.

 

[PeteBull]

lol I think you mean career women? Though maybe STD's fit in to all of this somehow...

yup sorry, a typo i will correct right away, sitting here with high fever and my english isnt best

 

[TheUsual]

I'm married now so I cleared that hurdle!
My wife likes to read a lot so we're the classic gamer guy and book girl. She'll occasionally play Mario Kart though.

 

[Boglin]

I think more men think HC is attractive than women.

Before or after everyone learned of his hobbies?

 

[Gaiff]

Not that hot. Looks like Tom Brady with a blonde wig.

My man as in my friend. It’s a common phrase.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Really depends on the type of girl you're chasing and into. If you're into the snobby and super materialistic type, well then yeah, I'm sure they won't find video games attractive, lol.

 

[Fake]

And women who play video games are?

Empowerment? Brave? Stunning?

 

[Skifi28]

I'd rather stay single forever than stop doing something that makes me happy in order to attract some bimbo, but that's just me.

 

[Little Chicken]

Yeah but they'll sit on the sofa unshowered over the weekend streaming trash for 48 hours and force you to do the same otherwise you're "ignoring" them.

"turn that game off..."

*turn The Witcher 3 off begrudgingly*

"let's watch something"

"what like what?"

"Witcher"

 

[King Dazzar]

I married a school teacher once. And one day when she came home from teaching. I was sat on the lounge floor with a Sega Saturn steering wheel playing Daytona. And she said "great I teach kids all day and now I come home to one!!"
I just told her to be quiet as she was distracting my race.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m married, 3 kids, 4 pets, own a home, 2 cars paid off, almost zero debt and play maybe 20 hours a week.

Not to mention my wife still loves me and finds me attractive enough to suck my dick. I was told that would stop after marriage. Here I am, 15 years later, still having drunk nasty sex in the living room while the kids are sleeping upstairs.

 

[thegame983]

I mean under no circumstances would I tell a female that I play video games.

There's no upside to stating that fact.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'm extra single but lets face it, it's not because of videogames.

 

[Zathalus]

And women who play video games are?

Considering it’s Liz Wheeler, probably brainwashed by the communist satanist agenda or something.
