probably will never date a guy who plays video games daily ever again. It sucks to date someone who would rather play video games than hang out with you

Their idea of a fun date night is them playing video games while you’re there….watching….bored out of your mind

I literally ended my last relationship because he would rather hang with his friends and play video games than go on a date or just hang out with me

I play video games consistently and the men the post + commenters talk about just don’t prioritize y’all 😭 maybe it’s bc I go to a rigorous stem school where almost everyone games, but the average person ik who games daily can still manage their time for a relationship

This is fun to me if the game looks interesting to watch on a big tv, but with a friend. Not exactly a turn on lol

also most people ik game as a social thing (either to play with other people or to geek out abt cool narratives or mechanics). so imo the “I’m gonna game instead of hanging out with you” is just the chronically online version of “I’m gonna hang out with my friends instead of you.” it’s not abt the games it’s abt a shitty behavior

damn I didn’t realize it was a hot take to call out the actual behavior instead of claiming it’s inherent to a form of media 💀

This^ My bf likes to play video games with friends but we still go on dates and he prioritizes me. Men can game and date. You just have to be worth it to him.

Yeah, I think it really just comes down to whether they prioritize video games over the relationship tbh. I would be fine with dating someone who plays video games if they didn’t do that

I will just never understand the thought process that leads them to do this :/ I feel like hanging out with my significant other is like my favorite thing to do

yeah I think it’s normal to be wanted 😭 and if they make you feel unwanted then it’s not crazy to drop them

But like you notice how they never actually want you to play? There’s a difference between you and your boyfriend enjoying a two player game together VS him gaming by himself or with friends and you just hanging around

If i'm yapping next to him, he's able to hold a conversation despite gaming and i'm enjoying whatever is going on on the screen then i'm happy. But obviously i'd rather be doing something else more of the time
