My interests wax and wane. But Women will hold any hobby you have against you at some point. Seemingly because it's taking your attention away from her. I wouldn't even mention it as it's none of their business either way.
My ex did watch me play God of War though because of the story with the annoying kid. For some reason the worst part of that game resonated with her, go figure lol.
Tbh I've barely met any women who actually do have hobbies of their own, outside of gossiping and nattering with the girls that is. My mum was cool as fuck, she always had a million and one crafting projects on the go. I've never met another woman like her.
My current missus reads trashy novella and shit American television. I tease her about it occasionally but ultimately it's none of my business what her interests are, primarily because I don't give a shit. We do play mario kart on the old Wii about once a month though.

My wife likes that I play games. Her co-workers are talking about their boyfriends/husbands going out to bars and potentially cheating on them or meeting someone else.
Where am I on a weekend night when I'm not with the wife/kids? Playing games. Even when I go out, like my fantasy football draft, it's at my friends house. Wife and kids are invited and can enjoy the pool.

It’s probably not the most attractive hobby, but the same can be said for fishing.
When meeting someone, I know I never listed it as my #1 hobby.
“cycling, running, going to the gym, playing music and oh yea occasionally playing a video game”

Average Number of Sexual Partners: By Gender, Country, State, and
When it comes to sex — or your sexual history — it’s easy to wonder what’s “normal.” Can you have too many partners? Too few? What’s average? If you really want to know, a recent Superdrug survey has you covered. Here’s which states are doing it the most, how America compares to other countries...

Its 0 for like 30% of guys nowadays 18-30yo rofl, then u got ppl with under 10, those avg guys, and top 15% can stack up bodies upon bodies if only want to.
Hook up culture at its finest ;P

A lot of women just hate when men have hobbies and are happy.

Exactly (sadly).
Anyway, whatever you do that your woman didn’t want and tell you to do will piss her off and will be used against you at least every once in a while. But! If you do everything your woman wants you to do, it’ll be worse. Better to piss her off sometimes, than have her leave you because you’re a pushover. So be proud of your man-cave (her father’s is a garage, same vibes, same goals) and just be there for the hard times.

Feels like she's speaking out of her more useful orifice. But assuming she's right, as long as I still get to smash, I don't care if I'm the least attractive option

Being in a relationship where your partner isn't sharing or at least tolerating your passion/hobby is honestly a recipe for disaster. Good for you.

That’s common knowledge. Why do we need a thread to discuss this?

She’s 100% right. When I was single I completely hid my power level. Now I’m married and wife also plays games (casually).

I don't know any women my age that play video games or are even interested in anything that isn't Bravo TV and your ass planted right next to them to suffer through it. I guess I would see mentioning that I spend a lot of time and money on video games as a hobby would probably not be in my best interests.

If you can be happy without her, she's lost leverage on you which is the antichrist.

I mean, if she’s gonna start shit, she’s got to take it too. I mean, she’s not ugly for an old lady.
Edit: oh shit, she’s only 35!? I think being a stuck up hoe has aged her terribly.

She's right. Although these days women's number 1 complaint are men who are on their phones/tablets non-stop, even if they aren't playing games.

She has so called thousand cock stare for sure
Urban Dictionary: thousand cock stare
When a woman has ridden to cock carousel for such a long time that she loses all ability to bond with a man. This shows in her eyes that have a unique kind of deadness, hollowness, and hardness to them. She's given up on love and is now cynically looking for a meal ticket.

I find the opposite. I married a woman who doesn’t play a single game, mobile or otherwise. I would advise someone who has different interests to keep the variety of life interesting.
The trick here is not to marry/date a woman who hates video games. Then there is an inferiority complex you have to contend with. Instead just find someone who couldn’t care less what you do.

I can see it, but in the guise of the 'mainstream' gaming where it's guys throwing on a headset and ignoring the world, yelling at their buddies for five or six hours in CoD or Apex Legends every night.
My wife thought that's what "gamers" were when we met, she was surprised to discover there's weirdos like me that just throw on a Nintendo or anime game for an hour each night to unwind.

Ok. I play games and I am married. She doesn't care that I play games. She spends most of her time watching 90 Day Fiance and trash TV like that. Any woman with introspection will understand because they also have their escapism. Some just can't accept that spending 12 hours on Ticktock and Instagram is even worse than gaming. That doesn't require any brain cells.

Late to the thread so it’s probably already been said but:
A) I bet she’d get wet if Henry Cavill even so much as talked to her. Oops, there goes her narrative.
B) I love how community notes absolutely wrecked her by pointing out her “data” had no source was was basically pulled out of someone’s ass.
And
C) I got a huge chuckle that Dana Loesch (45 year old deeply conservative woman, extreme second amendment activist, and part time columnist for National Review) posted, paraphrased: Space Marine 2 let’s go boys!
Ed:
I digress. I never concealed that I played games when my (now) wife and I were dating. She admitted she wasn’t a gamer at all outside of maybe playing some Tetris or Dr. Mario. She began to view my gaming as just watching TV. She watched me play FF7 and would get upset if I would play when she wasn’t home because she wanted to know what happened next. She still does that to this day with games she has an interest in.

50% of women are gamers, so this is a stupid take. And from what I've read, it's console gaming, not "Candy Crush" as most like to deflect when they hear this statistic. Gaming isn't some taboo topic anymore. Everyone loves it. These are probably the same women that prefer a 6'5" guy in his early 20s who makes 5 million dollars a year and is somehow single. Perpetually alone cat ladies.
Yeah, she's a dumb dumb. What's funny is Henry Cavill almost missed his casting audition for Superman because he had a scheduled Raid in World of Warcract.

MY wife keeps shitting on me for playing games. What a waste of time. What a none productive activity.
So i asked her the other day. What would you like me to do at the end of the day when i have max 2 hours to myself after 8pm when she actually sleeps and gets ready for night shift.
Would you like me to go out with the boys , get drunk and pick some up some martini punnani ?
Arent you happy i am a good boy that comes home, stays home, takes care of the kid at night ?
You know my biggest problem with these people is the fact that when i play a game and relax and remove myself from this shit world for an hour a day to keep my sanity is equal to being a homeless loser but when they watch their brain wash shows or are on their phone watching shorts is called creative, productive , educational etc.

U would be surprised at modern women requirements, especially in the western world, there is a reason hoeflation is a thing nowadays
And yup, as they get older(less attractive/more masculine) their standards never go down, only up

I just saw a video recently of a woman crying (she was actually pretty, just very stupid) because no guy would date her and then she spewed a list of insanely unrealistic standards that no man could or even want to meet. And if they somehow did meet those standards, they are men that wouldn't want to date women like her. These women are so incredibly deluded. She was also complaining that men don't approach her anymore, despite women like her villainizing men approaching women these days as toxic and rapey or something. Men don't want anything to do with crazy women. The hoeflation is indeed real.U would be surprised at modern women requirements, especially in the western world, there is a reason hoeflation is a thing nowadays

That's great, dude. Bury who you truly are deep inside to try and justify yourself to women who wouldn't like you for who you truly are. That is a joyous way to live.
