It's been bothering me for a while now that there's always some girl out there who dislikes or just isn't interested in getting involved with people who like videogames.
Or at the very least they seem to get "jealous" whenever their boyfriend is playing a game or two with friends.
Here's an example:
My friend and I are playing a fighting game, and his girlfriend calls him up just to say she's mad at him for not giving her enough attention...
Is that the videogame's fault? I dunno. Don't couples play together sometimes? Also, I find that "hardcore" gamers tend to be male as opposed to female...why is that?
I mean, I can understand there aren't many games that directly appeal to girls nowadays, although it has gotten better in recent years. But most girls I talk to tend to be more into Mario games or something less...well...engaging other than RPGs with cute bishounen in them (Final Fantasy for example).
I dunno, I'm just wondering what the take is on this for girls. Or maybe it's just a stereotype that people start believing if you say it enough times.
Where's the hardcore female gamer population around here? And do you mix gaming with relationships?
Truthfully I don't even consider a girl for any sort of relationship if she doesn't like videogames. I'm weird like that.
