Yeah, I think gamers make better boyfriends and I have a feeling this blog is going to get a lot of comments going against having gamers as boyfriends. Oh, I can see it now “I had a boyfriend who was a gamer once and he never paid attention to me,” “I had a boyfriend who played games once and he was a loser who did nothing but play, he didn’t even work.” Yeah, I can see all of those comments and I know some of them may have truth to them, but sometimes, it’s just the fact that some girls hate games. Some girls make their guys get rid of their games and I hope you aren’t one of them. Okay, below, I am going to give you 8 reasons gamers make better boyfriends.

I think they make good boyfriends because you can share the same hobbies together. This is great, because you will always have something to do.
7. There Are More Things to Talk about
When you have a gamer as a boyfriend, there will be an endless amount of things to talk about – as long as you are into games. There’s always new games coming out, so surely, that’s something good to talk about.
6. You Get to Take Trips to the Game Store Together
Oh yeah, you can’t forget about taking trips to the game store. You may even get to go to conventions together, which is really cool. Just like couples who watch movies together get to go to the movie stores together, you will get to go to the game stores together.
5. You Have Someone to Play with

When you have a gamer as a boyfriend, if you are into games, then you are going to have someone to play with. I like to play games with my husband, he is always fun.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
4. They Seem to Be Smarter

I don’t know about you, but I have noticed that gamers are smarter than the average bear. Yeah, some can argue with me on this one, because of their “experience,” but I tell you, gamers are smarter!

3. It’s Better than Watching Television
Oh goodness, I can’t stand watching television every night! How do people do it? Instead of watching television, silently, why not play games and laugh together? This is more fun.
2. There is Never a Boring Moment
With a gamer, you are not going to experience a dull moment. They always seem to have something up their sleeve. I have noticed this one.
1. They’re More Fun

Yep, they’re more fun. It’s much better than having to go sit in the hot sun with a guy who is obsessed with sports and listen to their screaming buddies. It’s better than going to parties. I have also noticed that guys who play video games tend to stay out of trouble.
Yep, I’m the type of girl who was destined to be with a gamer. You know, since gaming has always been in my blood. Of course, maybe gaming isn’t in your blood. Maybe you don’t deserve to be with a gamer if you despise games. Those are 8 reasons gamers make better boyfriends. So, what’s your opinion on this topic?

Lisa: 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?)
Ivy: 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
Lomerting: 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.
Tabatha: 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!!!
Tabatha: @ 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!!!!
Danielle: LOL I actually agree with this entire article :)
