Advantages:
Think about it, a girlfriend that's into gaming. First of all, no more arguments about whether you're spending too much time on your favorite gaming console or not. She'll probably just sit down next to you, excited as much as you are about what will happen next during the game. She might even play with you rather than nag about spending too much time on your console.
Another great thing is what presents you'll get each other. She might (and most probably will) still want the latest shoes and handbags, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy the occasional video game every now and then. And she'll probably even enjoy buying you a disk too!
Disadvantages:
First of all it might seem like heaven, right? But think about it more deeply now. You're playing a game of Call of Duty, proud of your high Kill death ratio, when she asks you to let her play a couple of rounds. You don't want to ruin things with this girl, I mean, she's a gamer, right? So you give her the controller. And after a few rounds you notice how much she actually sucks. And then you stand there thinking: What's happening to my K/D ratio? Why did I agree to this? And there is nothing you can do.
So you won't be able to spend as much time as you want on your console since she'd want her turn. Even if you bought her her own console, she'd still want the occasional multiplayer games with her boyfriend. So this a real major problem.
Conclusion
Although it might seem fun at first, over time you'd hate the fact that she's a gamer too and that she loves her console as much as you do. She'll want to spend more time playing with her boyfriend than play on her own. So I guess it's your decision. You can either sacrifice a few hours of gaming on your own to spend time with her, or you can just forget about your relationship and go back to your ever-loving console.
Fail. Pick up the "computer" for you and her and play any wide variety of games.
ReplyDeleteA gamer girlfriend wouldn't ask to play your profile and then screw up your ratios. They understand stats as much as any guy.
ReplyDeleteThat might be true, unless you're in the middle of a game and your girlfriend really wants to play. She would think she's awesome when maybe she's not.
