Because men ain't allowed to enjoy themselves and have their own hobbies right? You must satiate my narcissistic whore ass instead. Everything you do must please me. Watch her complain about men later in life when it's her own personality that is repulsive and is what gets her used like a piece of meat.

If having video games as a hobby is enough to make a woman turn her nose up to a guy then I'd consider that guy lucky as he just dodged a shit-ton of bullshit drama in his life. My wife and I have had PLENTY of arguments in our many years together, as all married people do, but never has it been about gotdang video games.
If I want to argue about video games.......I come here.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Currently trapped in a bunch of legal drama, release date still TBD

An opinion that is shared by a lot of women I know.The issue is that gaming is still viewed as a children's hobby that adults should grow out of.
There have been studies on this topic and gaming has never been a hobby that most women find attractive. In fact, it's probably the least attractive. Reading, cooking and sports all come out on top.
However, this obviously doesn't mean that men who play games are an instant turn off. Lots of women play games and will be attracted to men who share that hobby.
My wife doesn't mind that I play games, but I only play rarely. She might have a different opinion if I played games for hours every day. My main hobbies are reading and cooking , and she personally thinks men who read are very attractive, so in that regards I hit the jackpot because reading is also her number 1 hobby.
And there is another problem.
Do you ever see lists of hobbies that men find unattractive in women? No. Because most men don't give a shit. As long as it's not illegal or gross then I really couldn't care what hobby my woman has. Men, on the other hand have to meet a certain expectation, work in finance, have a trust fund be 6'5 and have blue eyes.

Plenty of my pics in the photo topic in the off topic section and in a topic about the good looking gaffers froms some years ago, it's probably pretty easy to search for user or some shit, i rarely do that.I'm gonna need a pic. For research purposes.
I want 5 cents for every stroke.

So a political grifter with a metric ton of makeup on her face doesn't get videogames. I'm shocked.
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:

This obviously doesn’t apply to women though. I find her to be unattractive and she doesn’t even play video games. 2/10 would not bang.

I've always had gfs that were surprised I was a gamer but it never was a negative. My ex went to the halo 3 midnight launch with me despite not liking games at all. She played through the campaign and actually made a real effort.
No examples of hate or complaining really, and especially wasn't a deal breaker.

I saw this the other day.... what a fucking moron. I have no idea who she is but sounds like some entitled generic white 30 year old woman who has no personality but gets upset at others having fun.
This is such a spoiled attitude to have especially in 2024. Like holy shit

I mean, I think you are talking about come on lines and not long term. They will eventually find out that I do game right? Like, how deep should these lies go? Should I start hiding steamdecks around the house?

I think that maybe it's easier if all gaffers try being gay. Imagine all the potential partners with similar interests. Sounds like heaven.
Would somebody else go first though and let me know if it's worth it?

That's alright. I'm not into women who believe in astrology and crystals so that weeds out 95 percent of the psychos like her.

I mean, look at Slingblade. His mom would have never been killed if she hadn't fallen for the antiquated male/female dynamic in her relationship. He would have no reason to kill Jessie fer.
If nothing else, Slingblade taught me that men and women just aren't naturally compatible.
You know though, Zenless Zone Zero seems to have an answer for that in the form of fake women.
So she, and some other women don't like men who have hobbies. This means that they want your entire world to revolve around them. This kind of thinking isn't a red flag, it is something no man should entertain, ever.
Men are not women. Women seem to have forgotten this.

My wife hates video games. But still tolerates me playing. I suspect mostly because at least it keeps me in the house and out of other girls pants.
After marriage I actually still played a lot, though not nearly as much as when I was single. It was having the kid that really put the brakes on playing regularly. Nowdays I generally only play if they are either both out of the house or sleeping.
She hates PC gaming the most. Because it totally isolates me from her in a different space. Handheld gaming is the most agreeable to her. And console gaming is just tolerable.
Before my current wife I had a long term GF who I thought was cool about video games. I thought that right up until she broke up with me.

OK after listening; she's not wrong, but there's nuance. One thing we all just need to accept is that gaming optics are trash to women. Yes, you'll find outliers, the ratio to which they exist is gonna depend on age. Don't say "man that's fucked up. why it gotta be like that". It just is. "Save us TLOU Season 2!". No one is coming to save us. The cute girl at the liquor store is not interested in marathoning the Grandia series this autumn (I kinda am tho) because that show was decent enough to watch all 8 episodes. If you're going after nerdy broads none of this really matters, but to regular bar women it is not going to score you any points. It's definitely not a deal breaker, but I do think it hurts a first impression for the average guy and gal. If she asks you if you play video games early on, this could very well be a trap. The correct answer to this is "sigh here and there I guess. I like the racing games". The uber casual racing gamer character is almost completely innocuous to gamer hunters. It could save you night. Train it. "I think it's called Need for Speed or something" Her chart is all wrong though. Gaming would be on the opposite end unless it's your whole personality.

Same brother. We've almost ended our marriage before, it got bad man, and damn I was in a dark place, but we're better together now then we've ever been before, and we have never once had an argument about video games, at least about playing them....maybe we've argued about what the best Final Fantasy or Resident Evil is once or twice lol.

Pro tip guys, women want men that are confident to have whatever the fuck hobby they want and not give a fuck how it's perceived. As long as you show passion for something, it tends to go very well.
Someone that is well rounded, that can take care of themselves and is not afraid to be himself. That's pretty much it.
And if the chick is not into gaming, that's ok, just make sure she knows you will add her to your life, not replace a hobby you're passioned about with her. That will never work.

In a world where far more women play Candy Crush than men play Call of Duty, I'm not really sure what her point is. Feels like 1999 called and wanted their headline back.

Yes, sure. And one of those traits is attractive. The other is not.
Again, yall delusional if you think being a gamer or playing games is in any way shape or form, an attractive quality.
