Do Guys like Girl Gamers more as opposed to non-Girl Gamers

I think sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. It's a lot of factors though, and I'd presume the girl's appearance will be a prominent part of it. You (as a guy) could meet the perfect girl on Xbox Live or PSN. She plays all your favourite games, she's good at them, she knows the mechanics of games. But if, and excuse my phrasing here, if she's pig-sh*t ugly that WILL be a turn-off.

But as mentioned previously in this thread, it's a shared interest thing.
 
I love gamer girls, I love anyone who plays video games for that matter. And yeah, I definitely am gonna be more attracted to you if you play video games. I know some guys feel all insecure about their games, and getting shot in the face by a chick. But I couldn't care less.

If you beat me, hey good for you. Whether you're a girl or a guy, I ain't gonna get mad at ya.

As far as reasoning goes, it's just one more thing we have in common. Just because a chick plays a video game, doesn't mean I wanna date you. More likely just opens the door for a new friend.

For those who get harassed, 90% of the time I don't use my headset unless I play with friends. I play games to relax, not to play Dr. fucking Phil and listen to kids bitch about people cheating or their parents. Fuck that, son.
 
In all honesty, I find that shared hobbies will often make relationships smoother in the long run.

Take for instance one of my ex-gf's who was a equestrian rider, I highly dislike horses due to bad experiences when I was younger, but I still made the effort to try take up the hobby, It really helped our relationship at the time because she obviously noticed I was making the effort to try participate in the same hobby as her despite knowing my initial feelings about horses.

However, she did not share my hobby of gaming and it would sometimes cause a rift between us as she would be trying to drag me off the computer to go shopping or something, I'd reluctantly go and it would cause tension between us for the rest of the day.

In many ways I feel it was one of the major factors that caused our relationship to end, but I dont regret being a gamer as its part of who I am.

So would I prefer a girl gamer over a non-gamer? Yes I would because shared hobbies are very good foundations for solid relationships to be built.
 
in ele school had 1 good a friend a girl in middle school had 4 3 girls one guy the guy was gay. in high school had 7 all girls and all lesbians.
i am straight i do not know how this happens. but i never had a straight guy as a friend. so i don't know about all the well lke saying i am going to hit that tonight to guy friends or any thing like that never done it an never will.
so well when it comes to girl gammers i would really love finding a gf who loves the type of games and movies i do that would be awesome.
I have never hit on any irl who i have play a game with online or any other way yet since first think it be weird hitting on a girl you do not know well. econd i rethar just becumes friends then come to like like you then something happens.
 
It really depends on the guy. I've had guys stay clear of me because I was a gamer thinking that I was lesbian. No word of a lie. Others wouldn't stop asking me what games I liked, etc. At one point I just stopped caring either way, since it was so abitrary that I didn't want to worry about it.

Myself I'd rather a guy who was a gamer, but it wouldn't be necessary. Commonalities are what binds people, and gaming would just be one more thing we could share. People tend to be attracted to people who have thngs in common with them, and I'm no exception. But I'd hardly throw aside a good guy just 'cause he wasn't in to them.

It's like icing on a cake, it helps make it tastier, but it's not the cake.
 
It's been a couple months, surely views have changed? Can you resurrect a topic like this? :hmmm:

I used to be a hardcore gamer and it's what helped me get my two long term bfs. The ex was more of a nostalgia gamer, playing nes games and shiz. My current bf is a modern gamer, always plugging away at his 360 he got for Christmas (I had to replace it as he sold his previous one to come to Canada :3). We have.. maybe 3/4 games that I wanted to get and play, and haven't finished any. I'm just not as much of a gamer as I used to be, and I'm not sure why.
 
The nearest equivalent I can think of for girl gamers are a potential boyfriend that knows how to (and is willing to) cook really well or a pet cat that doesn't mind taking a bath. It's definitely a rarity, but if you do find one then it can be a huge plus. It's even harder to find ones that play GOOD video games, ones that require at least a minute amount of skill, and if you manage to find one that are actually skilled at them then you've pretty much hit the jackpot. It shows a girl is capable of enjoying more than shoe shopping and reading bad vampire romance novels. Now how many are willing to admit it in public though, that's a subject for debate.

And that my friend is exactly why they're so rare :( I know there are many gamer girls out there, they just don't want to admit it for fear of the social stigma.

Well that's acting bloody retarded. Girls are impressed by girls admitting to be gamers. Guys are impressed by girls admitting to be gamers. There's no "social stigma" these days. I mean, who are they afraid of? Cranky old men that hate all video games to begin with?
 
People tend to like people who share similar interests. It's as simple as that really. I'm sure that not all guys like girl gamers but obviously as video games have become more popular, I guess more people share a common interest nowadays.
 
oh man i love my gamer girls. They are so much easier to get along with and relate to because 90% of these girls are stuckup snotty expect the world girls. They are usually down to earth girls with a fun personality, and playing video games with your girlfriend is great!
 
Speaking for myself here, I can say I do. In a relationship with me, you should be aware that I will be gaming quite a bit so if a girl is a gamer as well then that works out well for me. Again as stated already it is just a common interest thing. Heck as long as she is not opposed to the idea of playing video games it can work out, sometimes through means of corruption. If she is completely opposed to it then I would sever all ties with the relationship instantly.

As far as discrimination goes, I've noticed most of it comes from the younger generation, don't know why. People just need to learn to accept that occasionally you will play a game with a girl and sometimes you get your ass kicked. I really don't see how the gender of the ass kicker makes the situation any different. Either way you still got your ass kicked. It happens all the time online so why make it a big deal if it's a girl?

Pardon, i'm talking about the girls who do 'normal' things but also play games. it's probably different where you are. in my experience, girls who are open about games are always the geeky girls to begin with (which is awesome), but i know there are others who want to fit in with the mainstream but also play games.

Also in my experience, (most) girls are not impressed by girls admitting to be gamers. Again, we probably live in different settings, so our opinions will differ. Retarded, i think not.
 
This is hard for me to answer. I'd have to say personally yes. I'm happily engaged but my fiance isn't so much of a gamer as I and refuses to play any that doesn't involve wii sports.

Now, I have female friends who are gamers that I will admit I have or am attracted to ( I know what your thinking, it's called control and being able to handle commitment) But the reasoning behind the attraction isn't largely based on the fact that they are "gamers" it was based on attractiveness and personality. One girl I'm attracted to and have a very good friendship with is on the larger side. Why do I like her? Because she's very compassionate and I can usually talk about any kind of problem with her. Which I find amazing. Seeing how for most women I've been with it's been the other way.

So I'll say yes, certain men are more attracted to female gamers. Probably the men that sit on their butts all day and haven't showered in three days because they need to finish the campaign <.<

So some men, not all. Now if there was a discussion about girls that are into mechanics, I'd have a different story for you
 
This is a two-part question. The title says it all. Do guys out there like girl gamers more than girls who don't game?

Yeah, I experienced this a LOT when I was playing the Halo series, all you had to say is "I'm a Girl" and then insta-friendship with people, its weird but guys certainly like girls who can rock a game like that :tehe:

What reasons make a guy like or dislike a girl gamer?

  • Boobs.
  • You could easily kick their ass in real life or game world.
  • Their guy friends will think he has skill for being a girls friend in Game world.

The list goes on :grin:
 
Yes yes, guys love girl gamers. I mean, when it comes down to it, I prefer personality over anything, but if she were a gamer, that's a big plus. That just makes her a helluvalot more interesting, seeing as you can now do MORE things with her.

But like many have said, it really depends.

1) Boobs? Meh. Some guys outright disrespect some girls on Xbox Live because they don't think they should belong in the same "realm" as them when it comes to games.. Haters if you ask me.

Personally ... sigh no offense ... I'm not picturing the most pretty ladies when I play with a girl gamer. More of the reclusive type, who don't mind to act like one of the guys, so Boobs are out in this opinion.

2) Kick their ass? like a wife beater? I don't understand this direction :hmmm: I mean I get no pleasure on killing one or another. I remember my good friend back in the day used to play counter strike, and she and I had a thing for a bit, but when I killed her.. she wasn't pleased. It was like I had to stay away from killing her due to her feelings towards me.. sad sad sad thing. When I play a first person shooter, it's usually to apply any and every strategy I can come up with to take you out. I don't like to have emotions when I play, so girl or not.. your arse is mine .. same playing field to me.

3) You might have a point here. I've seen some fellas who only play if a female is around, which is freakin odd in my opinion, because these dudes have girlfriends in the real life as well. I assume something about womanizing.. but I'm not going there. When I play games, I usually just chatter the whole time, unless someone really (sadly) wants to play competitively then I get all silent and concentrate. So normally, when I'm active on xbox, I usually have an equal amount of ladies as guys in the parties I play with.. just kicking and chilling, no creepy stalker types guys or girls.
 
I really don't think *most* guys are more attracted to girls that are gamers. Most guys on these forums? Yes. But most guys throughout the world? Definitely not. i know tons of guys who aren't that devoted to video games and don't play them that often. And I agree with Tyler, I feel that a lot of hardcore gamer girls are the more reclusive type (most, not all). Now a guy might like a girl who enjoys playing games once in a while and can understand conversations involving games that he likes. Plus...it's not like you know what these girls look like. That's a bit scary to me. Creepin on people you've never seen...

Feel free to contradict but I really think most guys aren't that attracted to gamer girls.

I'm a pretty uhh what's it called respectable minded person. If a lady is around I usually don't talk like I would to my homies. We all talk the gutter talk, it's just hard to do the same, if it offends. Now on Xbox though.. I treat girls the same as guys. If they are offended, well games are meant to mellow me out. It's better than smoking a certain substance, you know what I mean? So if I'm not having fun while I play.. I stop playing.

I'm a sailor, I can't help myself when I'm just kicking it on a game. I kind of actually hate girls who get all flirty over games. I'm like.. hey hey hey.. none of this, we are supposed to be calling each other the most malicious names and going to head to head =).

I have yet to find one guy who didn't consider gaming skills a major plus. There's more to it than just the simple act of playing video games, a girl admitting that they're a gamer shows that they're honest and not willing to just confine themselves to the "feminine" means of entertainment society has laid out for them. It shows that they might be willing to do other activities that the vast majority of women are rarely identified with, such as debating politics, keeping up with sports teams or watching horror movies. Being able to connect with someone through these shared interests is a plus in any relationship.
