So much so that I dont even bother trying to log on.

If you dont want to ruin your gaming then stick to dating with those you meet online in game.

I honeslty think I would rather have not gotten married if I knew it was going to come to this.

 

 


Wow ive got a phone # for a very good therapist that would LOVE to talk to you free of charge.

Lets weigh out the options.....SEX with your new REAL wife or........."Date with those you....meet ....in a......game.......

Hmmm again ive got that phone # for you ........

Seriously if your that imbedded in online gaming culture its time to hang it up.

 

 

Sex is over rated.

 

 

Quoted For Truth

Gaming is something you can count on, sex is something you can't.  I'll never marry (or date) a girl who has a problem with my gaming habits.

Oh well, im sure sooner or later she will give in to my game needs.

If only I could get her interested in playing WoW, but she thinks its stupid.

Any ideas?

Do I work with you and you changed your log on name? You sound exactly like my friend. Not only does marriage effect you, it effects your unmarried friends. You don't have the time to help your in-game friends.  Marriage is destrying MMOs!

You know when a leftest runs out of ideas...it is when they pull out the racist card.

Just tell her the truth:

Some people's brains need MORE mental stimulation than others.  Some people are 100% content sitting on the couch passively with no brain activity involved and some people require MORE. Have you heard the latest news story about metabolism? Your metabolism is SLOWER while watching TV than while sleeping! That's how sluggish you get while watching TV!

And other people- like us- we NEED to use our brains. We CRAVE mental stimulation and we need problems to solve and we NEED to plot strategies and we NEED to finish goals/quests.

I count on sex... Perhaps you dont get enough of it.  And why date??? Meet girls, meet girls, screw girls, meet girls, screw girls, etc.  Its an edless cycle, this way, they dont have a problem with your gaming because you're only screwing them, and you still meeting girls and playing games...

Sex > Games.  For me atleast.  Unless I dont feel like having sex (slim to none) I wont put down the mouse/controller..

How much are you willing to bet here? Really, how much? I'll even settle for a dollar (money is money).

See, unlike you, I can play games and with girls (not married...only 16) and not be distracted from either.  I've just learned that games are always there, and girls aren't. Simple, really.

But, I am single. It has nothing to do with gaming, but everything to do with being sick of all the whores and meaningless sex (I'm not heartless, the feelings have to be there).

like i said NEVER kissed a girl.

Do you know HOW i know this?Its simple really.Your 16 and play games and live at home.(nothing wrong with that either if your 16)

The difference is that i KNOW what is more important and it sure as hell isnt a video game.

A scenario:

You are having a hardcore gaming experience and are having a blast with your friends online.Lets just say your playing WoW for the sake of the scenario.

Out of the corner of your eye you see your "girlfriend/woman/wife" wearing next to nothing or a sexy little piece she just got at Victoria's secret.

She says this:Can i see your joysstick???

Now i KNOW that you KNOW what is coming next your 16 right?!?!

Be honest here and pick the 1 that AT THAT VERY MOMENT looks like it will be more fun?

What is your physical limit?

uhhh.... honestly.. when I was 16 I was bangin broads..

So if I were in that scenario, I wouldnt even think to turn off the game / shut down the PC.  I would simply jump off teh game, jump on the girl..

Come on now, hormones are racing at 16.. I would be ON THAT like a fat kid on cake..

*edit*

But then again.. who says he was ever in that scenario.. I was playing games at 16, yes.. but I would chase girls so much more than I would chase games.

I feel that now, I'll play more games than chase girls. but like in the previous post (some on posted on this thread) someone said that everything is good in moderation.  That said, I play my games in moderation and take my RL first before anything, but then again, thats just me.

sorry to hear that. in my case, my gf always gets in the way of my gaming. its pretty hard to play these days since she hates it when I do not talk or do something with her, when we're together. i havent actually made her play games. she only loves FPS like medal of honor and call of duty games.

You know you've lost at this point and now you're just talking.  I play games.  That's a given.  I'm 16, that's been said.  I HAVE kissed girls, I'm not a virgin, I'm not prude, and I don't dislike sex.  I love it.  But at the moment I am single because I choose to be (already said that).  Girls don't dislike me because I game, and I don't spend all my time gaming and none chasing girls.  I just don't chase the girls like I did when I was 14-15 because of the experiences it brought me.

Sex will be more appealing, but I'm not going to bang any girl that walks up to me in a skirt (if I was asked a year ago, the answer would have been different).

Besides that, I like to relax with gaming.  Sex isn't my idea of relaxing.

You can argue it all you want, but honestly, only I really know what I have and haven't done.

Man I am 42, married for 18 years until 12 months ago.

I feel at this time in my life EXACTLY the same way you feel.

Im single by choice, I game when I want for as long as I want. I have "@!#$ buddies" if I want sex.... personally Id prefer to do some more of the side missions in Fallout 3.

Lets face it.... if sex was an mmo... we would call it a grind after 5 levels.

For 15 years, I would read a book beside him on the couch. For the last 5 years, I have played online games every evening and these last 5 years were the best of the 20:) I hardly ever think about hiring a Hit-Man anymore LOL!

Lori:)

 

 

LOL Lori...I know exactly where you are comming from. My wife watches shows I can't stand...all the home renovation n birth/pregger shows...(makes no sence since we have a new house n 5 kids). So I spend most of my evenings on the PC gaming. I know if I didn't have that, we would at least have two seperate TVs.

As to the OP, how could your wife not have known about your gaming habits before? Or did she assume that once yas were married you would spend every waking moment sitting by her side?

What you should do is take a break from gaming for a week. Then sit besiders her on the couch n be as annoying as hell for the week. Changing channels on the tv all the time, talking about how stupid the shows are, poking n bugging her...ya know stuff like that. Then when you go back to gaming...she will be glad you are on the pc rather than buggin her. It worked for me!

You're the sorriest 16 year old I have ever spoken to..  I'm sorry to say..

You sound like you're 56 and can't get it up any more.. Jezus.. You know what.. This poor excuse of a comment just made me a little nauseous.

So you bash every guy that has something more to his life than fucking (well, trying to) every girl he meets? Get over yourself and stop following your dick wherever it points.

When I saw the title of this thread I figured you would follow it up with being happy that your marriage killed your gaming and how much you love your wife and how much gaming was a waste of your time and all...

It's a pity this is a joke thread and not a testament of the love you feel for your wife.

Its all about moderation my friend.  You shouldn't be spending all day playing games regardless if you're single, especially if you're married.  If she literally told you to STOP playing games altogether, you need to tell her right quick, NO!!!  That's not about gaming, that's about controlling your life or trying to change an important part of it.    You have to compromise a little of course, but that goes for everything.  Those who won't compromise won't stay married long.  Its no different from someone playing golf or any hobby.  You can't expect your wife to be happy if you play golf all day every weekend.  Its about moderation and compromise.  But if gaming is more important than your wife, you might as well end it=)
