- FlyboyP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Girls hate anything that takes attention off them.
- CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11If girlfriends had save points, patches for bugs, and a pause button, then games might not look so attractive in comparison.
Plus, games have a manual. - distrbnce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10girlfriends make lame acronyms.
Anyway, this should all change with the PS3 controller. - browell172, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9My wife is against video games. So I got a girlfriend.
- datter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Step 1 : Get the girls a PC
Step 2 : Install The Sims 2 for them
Step 3 : Do whatever you want with all your new free time - *blu*, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9The sexism in this thread is unbelievable.
As a female gamer, i find this disgusting. It's not "men playing videogames" that ruins a relationship, it's one partner having his or her priorities in the wrong place. Anyone who puts entertainment before a quality relationship has problems, no matter what that entertainment is.
Saying that "all women want is control" and "girlfriends don't have any hobbies" is a blind and idiotic opinion. You people need to try seeing past the stereotypes and possibly try having an ounce of respect for the opposite sex. It is people like you who give males the negative, sexist stereotypes they have.
There are great, intelligent, and independent women out there just as there are intelligent, sensitive guys. But apparently, none of them post on digg. - Braulio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Wait a minute...they're smart enough to unite and revolt?
J/K! - zoomie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If we let them win, the next thing they'll want is equal pay and the right to vote
- tobsterius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"He has a campus job, and campus jobs don’t pay very much at all. Then he gets his paycheck and spends it all on video games.”
Translation: "He should be spending it on me!!!"
Seriously, if the guy plays too many video games instead of paying attention to a girl, that is generally a clue that the girl should either give the guy an ultimatum or move the hell on with her love life..
Hell I'm available and don't play games... gimme a call. - *blu*, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2j0c1f3r, i hate to jump to conclusions, but people who say the things you do are usually the ones who are the most insecure about their masculinity. Calling yourself a "womanizer" does not make you "cool".
But obviously you must know more about women than i do, since my extra X chromosome means nothing. I hate men like this... they claim that women are complicated and so difficult to understand, but when someone comes along and tries to explain, they ignore everything and say things like "all women are controlling bitches".
You are never going to understand women if you make statements like this. You can think you understand women because you call yourself a "womanizer", but that's not what understanding is at all. You ae obviously not open to understanding so i am not going to waste my time. Who knows - maybe one day you'll remove your blinders, and then maybe there will be "hope for you" too.
And to anyone who says to "chill out" - i'm just letting this guy know that some people are not going to sit by while he makes sweeping inaccurate generalizations. If people want to joke about this, that's fine, but this guy sounds pretty serious to me. But of course, what do i know... i'm just a woman. - j0c1f3r, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Look, I am a great womanizer, I own a massage parlour and run a strip bar for 20 yrs. Alot of guys need to understand something.
1/ Men want sex....obviously
2/ Women want control...no matter how you look at what your woman wants, it boils down to control.
3/ Giving them control is like a girl sleeping with you in the first 20 minutes of meeting you. The chase is gone and your back to square one.
DO NOT GIVE EM AN INCH BOYS.....MAKE EM EARN EVERY LAST HAIR OF CONTROL.
as far as
"I am divorcing my husband because he plays games every minute he is not at work, thus ignoring his son, his wife, and his friends.
You all need to wake up."
Damn you bitches give up easily...YOUR MAN IS STAYING AT HOME TO PLAY GAMES....he could be at my parlour or strip bar getting the full treatment instead. I say your husband is a lucky MF to get rid of a self-righteous, controlling ***** like you....and for you idiots that think im a single guy who doesnt know *****, my girl takes wicked care of me, buys me anything, has 2 bachelor degrees and is a big time feature dancer ( www.athenafox.com ).
Guys, 1 last note, find out what you really want in a woman before you do something extremely stupid like MARRYING them, I found out there are really cool woman out there, so dont be hasty because your afraid of being alone.
a fellow digger......and a man - surge84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2GFs have no hobbies, that's one of the problems. They stay up your backside 7 days a week, and put all their energy into this pathetic idea they call a relationship. Then they wonder what the hell the problem is.
- darthdusty, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5sorry ladies, we're the men so you follow our lead. if we're playing video games, go bake us some cookies, watch a little oprah, get enlightened, knit us some socks, then after that's all done then "maybe" we'll pay attention to you, that is if your not nagging about everything under the sun. hahahaha geez why do i love women if they cause so many problems!?
- l0g1cal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How CUTE!
- mrkamil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i think someone needs to be told twice!
- rwheeler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah people like blu need to realize that being on a geek website like digg.com automatically makes her different from the massive herd of controlling, nut-holding, pyscho, freakazoids out there. So realize that this crap doesn't apply to you, we weren't talking about you specifically, and laugh with the rest of us, okay?
- dBLiSS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Stupid girlfriends.. I told mine I was a level 34 Rouge and she said I was a loser! They don't appreciate the finer things in life.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so here's my deal; my chick goes to college in another state, so i do a hell of alot of intense gaming for the months i dont see her; then when she's here, we screw relentlessly until it's time for her to go again; then i go back to extreme gaming; it works man
- RpgActioN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If I had a girlfriend that asked me to decide between games and her, I would throw her ass to the curb. Bitch.
- ErifNeerg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1god.... i always hate MTV, they do whatever it take to get money making attention. Sure this one is pretty lame and contradicts some of the other programs MTV has but who cares really.
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I am divorcing my husband because he plays games every minute he is not at work, thus ignoring his son, his wife, and his friends.

Mabye you can't handle the fact that video games stimulate him more than you.
Well nothing better than to lose a wife and gain expendable income. Bachelor style. - locohozt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow. this article really opened my eyes to the reality that is my gaming addiction and the havoc its causing with my sex life.
i've realised something through these tribulations:
call of duty 2 > sex with my girlfriend. - rwheeler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you have your computer in the bedroom, just keep playing games and ignoring her until she comes over to take advantage of you. Tell her if she really wants it, then she's gonna have to come get it ;)
- joamox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is just silly. I love playing video games with the guys I date. If these girls are so against video games they need to find some new boyfriends.
- mobyrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Aren't most of these "girlfriends" actually imaginary?
- c.trinity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Aren't they just sweet!!!!
I ask my bf to play for me the games and i sit next to him and watch...and bugg him.Lol!
What other women don't realize is that gaming keep them sober and home,away from pubs and bars...and whatever.
Gaming makes guys...good guys.
Well...except when they're pissed cuz their xbox's are crashing. - dbrodbeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hate all people that generalize...
Perhaps you are meeting the wrong women?
Saying half of the population of North America is nothing but 'bitches' is rather stupid frankly. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Install The Sims 2 for them"
so true...I did this with my girl and now we just meet to hump and go back to our games.
lmao...hahaha - number8888, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sicne when does gamers get girlfriends? =(
- shuffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What the hell are they doing out of the kitchen anyways?
KIDDING! Man if we can't laugh at this ***** what is the world coming to. Obviously these guys are pretty terrible at keeping their women happy, or the women are simply too insecure to let the boys do something other than spend time with them. Time to kick the respective dead beats to the curb and find someone new - life is to short for BS like this! - j0c1f3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"There are great, intelligent, and independent women out there just as there are intelligent, sensitive guys"
Notice how women are "great, intelligent, and independent".
and men are "intelligent, sensitive"
if you take out the common "intelligent"
women are great and independant and guys are "SESITIVE???"....you wish.
smarten up, behave like a good women and not a know-it-all, and stop trying to be controlling.....maybe just maybe there will be hope for you.
btw if your BF like to play games alot.....GET A HOBBY or a girlfriend to hang out with ffs..... - mdepolli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My wife used to complain about the time I spent in WoW... until she decided to give it a try and became addicted all by herself.
- unk_b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love video games an still have a good relationship with my girlfriend so its all about the balance.
- alexanEmpire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yuck! With a girl friend that look that ugly and fat........I'd pay more attention to an xbox!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1to the girlfriend - no sex until you beat me at halo (or until I demand it)
- dbrodbeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am sorry for your relationship ending, but you cannot blame games, your husband is an *****... If it were not games it would be something else I imagine. Good luck.
- laserone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is just silly. I'm a girl and I've always found it aggrevating that more females don't get into tech. If u r not tech savvy then u r mission out on just way too much these days. I'm also a gamer. My huby and I both play video games a lot, and/or stay up late on the computer for hours on end. Because we both enjoy it so much, it doesn't cause a chasm in our relationship. If girls are angry that their BFs play too many vgames, then they need to get a frickin' hobby or surf the net or play the sims or NINTENDOGS (which I have and love, LOL). My hubby and I have so much in common that when I hear these types of complaints, it just baffles me. We stayed up 'till 6am last month playing 'we love katamari' together, LOL.
- nudnick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All of the girls in this support group are undoubtedly just a bunch of attention whores. Of course, I'm sure there are some guys who do play games too much and do not give their girlfriends enough attention but I think it is the girl's fault for having low enough self esteem to stay with a guy who ignores her that much.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The girls need to get a life -- they are not the most important things in the world. We do not have to worship women 24/7. Get that bitch a couple of friends so that she doesn't feel so lonely. If my girlfriend ever approached me with ***** like that I would tap a photo of OJ Simpson on my desk.
- matt0ne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wasnt going to comment, but my wife hates me playing games AT ANY TIME... can be a bit of a drag..
- avg_bear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Welcome to the real world guys. Yes, most girls do actually hate video games, and yes, it is largely because we should be paying attention to them instead.
I keep hearing this legend of girl gamers, but I've yet to find any. I'm convinced Jessica Chobot is either an android or a hologram.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn for Sega." - MiceMeatMeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0(no wonder joystiq is just a blog)
- ghacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why doesn´t it read
They offer plenty of anecdotal evidence of a growing divide between the mostly male gamers and their ignorant girlfriends. - motionblur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My g/f kicks my ass in Dead or Alive 3 or she throws the controller at the TV.
- motionblur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"so here's my deal; my chick goes to college in another state, so i do a hell of alot of intense gaming for the months i dont see her; then when she's here, we screw relentlessly until it's time for her to go again; then i go back to extreme gaming; it works man"
We have found the "Man of the Year". Kudos to you! :-p - Tweekster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yes some guys are idiots. and most of you are wrong if you think all girls are attention whores...maybe you dont have enough to offer to get a good girlfriend? (oh yes that is a cheap shot, but hey maybe it's true)
so basically these women are complaining that either their boyfriends suck (in which case they should just break up with them and stop trying to change a loser) or quit complaining and blowing the prob out of proportion. - dissident, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0women say they want sensative guys, but they always chase after the bad boys. the thing with women, you give them a taste of power, and they become obsessed with it. lol
- nextsteposx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Always controlled myself from playing too much.. Halo 2 into the wee hours until i beat it.
But my girlfriend encourages me to play video games, she asked me if i wanted a XBOX 360 !?!? (yeah right, then i will be going to bed late and too tired to work out, study, etc) i said maybe in a year hon when its cheaper.
I was like hmmm, trying not play new games so i wont waste my time (HALO 2), but guess i don't over do it and she is fine with that.
But i am the type of person with obsessive compulsive behavior with things until its right and i am content. Video games annoy me until i beat them, so i try not to play them. - microstuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i am willing to give up gaming for a girl friend!
:D - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0you're not "just a woman"; i've checked out your website blu, you're into some pretty cool stuff
