8 Reasons Gamers Make Better Boyfriends ...

LOL I actually agree with this entire article :)

I don't know if I agree with this so much. My boyfriend gets upset if he loses during a game he will break things and usually slam his head against the wall. He also takes his agression out on others by negative name calling and sometimes physical force.

@ Melanie, this is my third time trying to write this without it freezing on me. My husband started playing in November of 04 which is when the game first came out. He would wake up play go to bed with it is mind. He played more then 12 hours in a day. Before we had kids sure it was fine, I would go out do my own thing had no worries. Since then we have had two boys. I was doing everything myself, I felt like a single mother. I told him this several times he promised to slow down and not play as much, well lied he was so addicted he would always end up back to the way he was. I told him I was living and not doing it anymore, since then he stopped playing and has been there 100%, so when you say that WOW is not an addicting game I have to disagree, my husband bestfriend and his girlfriend still play everyday all day. That game really needs to go!

6 reasons gamers do not make better boyfriends :D (well the smartness and the tv argument are pro for me too)

@ Melissa, Did you read what you just wrote? Maybe you do not mind your husband playing WOW because you have a better time without him...... I mean come on do you have children? If not then you have no room to talk, you think me asking him not to play is being selfish? How about him playing all the time is being selfish, children need a father in their lifes not someone who is going to ignore them all the time to fill thier needs. So don't you go stating at the fact that I was the one being selfish, and do not post stupid comments like that if you have no idea what you are talking about, keep your own marriage under wraps and don't worry about other peoples!!!!

Lisa - Girl, it's all a freedom of speech and there is nothing you will be able to do about it. I will continue to write these blogs. Yet, you're continuing to read my gaming blogs AND commenting. If you don't like it, then don't read them, it's that easy. =) In my opinion, gamers are smarter and they are more fun. I hate those boring people who go to clubs, drink and have sex with multiple partners. I think games keep you out of trouble. (I know, some people DO take it overboard and don't even step outside and that's not the type of gamers I like). If you're opinion is different, then that is good for you. We are all entitled to our opinions. You take things way too personal and you really shouldn't. @ Tabatha - I read what Melissa wrote and I think it makes sense. It's nice to know someone else out there understand that there's nothing wrong with play video games. I have children and me and my husband play WoW together. Of course, there's time with children, there's time together and then there's game time. You have to learn how to separate those. You can't just sit there and play game all the time. Some people just can't handle playing for a little while, they want to play all day or whatever and that is no good. Then, you have some wives and girlfriends that just can't handle their husband playing video games and not giving them attention. My husband and I have a great relationship, my children are well taken care of and get a lot of attention - we still play games like WoW, so I can't figure out what the big deal is with you girls. It's going out to parties and drinking alcohol that I have a problem with. Would you be complaining so much if your husbands were taken you out? So many people do those things and think nothing of it. Playing video games is much better than some of the things guys could be doing. I have heard where guys are neglected from video games, because their wife won't let them play, that isn't right. I know you agree with me on this one?? Melanie

Hmmmm..... I have to say part of me agrees and part of me does not. I have been married for 6 years together for 10 and since day one my other half has been a gamer. There are certain games I loved him playing like RougeSpear, or Call of Duty which he plays now. But..... When he was playing WOW we had lots of issues. He was so addicted we almost divorced. When you have two kids and are married gaming is not alway the best way to go, yeah I know the post was about boyfriends, but that boyfriend sometimes turns into a husband. There are limits to gaming and now he doesn't play WOW anymore our marriage was more important to him, but COD its ok he plays at night with friends and it isn't as addicting!!!

These are assuming I'm (or just the girlfriend) are into said games as well :] Some of them are aight, for example I never get bored watching him shoot countless players features off. And I can always do things I like on my laptop whilst in the same room and so we both comment on what eachother or doing. But best of all.. he knows which buttons to press ;p

Melanie, your articles are becoming increasingly biased with your opinions, "gamers are smarter" "gamers are more fun" "gamers aren't boring" (Ok, I don't know about you other readers, but have you noticed that number one and two are basically the same thing, just said another way?)
