I'm only going to keep this short because lately I've been really annoyed seeing and hearing this.
For example, the big issue was that the maority of 'men', 'boys', 'husbands', 'boyfriends', etc. Were going around saying things like 'I gotta find a way to get my wife out of the house', 'Oh damn my gf is going to be annoying as shit if I don't send her off with money'.
Now, I don't think it is fair, and I really don't want to seem like I'm bashing guys. But it's also the other way around.
I went through this with my ex. But the thing was, we BOTH loved video games. Just, I was probably way more into gaming than him.
Job, Social Life, Relationships are going to be in the way.
So if you're going to even think about jumping into a relationship. Just be prepared that whomever it is. MAKE SURE THEY LIKE GAMING JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
What really bugs the hell out of me is just hearing shit like that.
I don't feel disrepsected. Because that's their life, that's their relationship that they got into. But hearing it, makes me speak up about it.
Just remember who gives you smecs later on and who gives you din din.
That's pretty much it.
This isn't a bash. It's a rant, and this goes towards both female and male gaming community.
Have a nice mother fucking day.
EDIT:

I agree. I had a friend who constantly complained her bf played games too much (he played FFXI with us all the time and even when he was playing with us and she CLEARLY saw it, she'd still complain) so she forced him to cancel his FFXI account. So what did he do? Move on to the next game, Monster Hunter. She complained about that. He told her "I started playing games before you, I'll be playing games after you" and she GOT PISSED. But I told her ITS TRUE. You cant stop him from doing something he's BEEN doing and something he LOVES doing and she would whine and whine AND WHINE. It was so stupid and childish. I suggested she play with him, maybe she'd like FFXI and she'd just be stuck up about it. UGH.
ReplyDeleteMartin plays games WAYYYY more than I do. But I dont mind he does unless it gets in the way of doing things like remembering to call places/pay bills/do laundry/etc but at least he can step back and say he knows he was being irresponsible and try to fix it. But I know games is his outlet so I dont try to stop him from playing unless I absolutely have to.
