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

LOL I actually agree with this entire article :)

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!!!

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?)

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.

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
