My BF says I look "stupid" when I play Wii Fit...

And I partly bought the thing because I've seen him watching those stupid girl-plays-wiifit-in-underwear-or-naked videos. Now I have it, enjoy it ( i think it really does help you stay in shape, its not just a gimmick. i feel like my balance is getting better and I am getting more leg strength which is good because my legs are less strong int eh summer when I am not skiing if i dont bike enough). However, whenever I do play it around him, he seems to be completely disinterested, adn whenever I ask him about my skills at it, or what he thinks of me playing wiifit, he says I look "stupid" and that i "cant balance" aand am "terrible" it it. its hurtful quite frankly, and i am a bit pissed at the following two groups of people

1) videogame geeks for having unrealistic expectations

2) wii fit video girls for managing to look like pole dancers. balancing is VERY hard and its hard not to look silly doing it. i get the feeling most of the girls int he video are from viral marketing firms and are either professional dancers or have had YEARS to work with the product in development as to look as sexy as possible when wii-fitting

:lol:

You can blog it I guess...

Geez, I hate to be blunt but I think you should lose this guy. He sounds abusive.

True.

Why are you with him, again?

I'm sure there are thosands of gamers who would appreciate you way more than this loser does.

No offence to your bf, of course...

It's a tough fact of life that some people are just better at some things than others. Some people are smarter. Some people are more coordinated. Some people are more musical. There's nothing you can do about it. But you can still do things you enjoy and/or benefit from. Don't give up just because you aren't the best in the world. I'm far, far, far, far from the best Mario Kart player but I still love the game. I don't worry whether I win or lose. I just have fun.

wellll.. i wouldnt say he is abusive, its just mean to be like, so critical of my wii-ing and disinterested by it when he clearly finds how certain other people wii interesting. I am pretty good at balacing on alot of stuff just not the stupid balance board, so i end up looking unsure of myself. being "sexy" isnt the first thing on my mind if im worried im going to get a concussion from a sudden impact with the coffee table.

as for not being the best player int he wrold at games, im not, and i always play games on easy, but i do my best and *do* have fun. my xbox gamersocre is now 4610, which is pretty impressive in my opinion,a dn ive played and beaten such titles as bioshock, and mass effect, call of duty 4 and call or juarez

Don't blame the girl who were on them videos. Even though there could be better chicks in the videos, don't blame anything but yourself for lookin silly on the Wii balance board.WR_Platinum

I dont blame them for being better but for selling unrealistic expectations. Also, i suck at the balance board but i try and that should at least count for something, even if i end up looking silly

yeah he sounds like not the greatest guy. why would he say that? if he wants you to improve he would encourage you to use wii fit more. well i guess you could try doing it in your underwear and see what he thinks...paullywog

lol its not lack of underwear or not (though who knows, im not a mind reader maybe it it) but its that i look "stupid" doing it he says. ive done it in my pjs if that counts for anything..

Great, that's like someone getting poo for dinner but it's a 5 course meal and the other 4 courses are great food, only one is poo.

No excuse for poo

At this point, you just need to remind him that you're playing with toys.

It's really not his decision on how you look, if you're having fun keep it up and if you're not then take it back. If he's causing you trouble by saying you look stupid on it, then tell him he's not obliged to critique until he does it better.

air_wolf_cubed

he does do some of that too sometimes

Sorry if I am blunt here but the guy sounds like a real ****ole Don't let things like that get to you. If he keeps it up why not simply dump him? The guy probally doesn't know how to appreciate someone instead of jerking off to half naked women on wii fit (which you could tell him is weird..). Maybe tell him to choose you or that. I am not the best at this kind of advice but this is what I'd do. Hope it helps.Whiteblade999

hahaha.. to be fair i havnt seen him doing that to the wiifit-girl videos, just watching them

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking this doesn't really have much to do with wii fit.

I'm sure that you being, the significant other, requires his attention, but you can see that his attention is drawn to other places and thus you have tried to capture his attention by emulating the means by which you have seen. In actuality though, this is an issue where you must learn to cope with him as part of a serious relationship. Men will be men, regardless of how hard they'll try to be faithful and try to give love and full attention to their partner. It is very rare for the so called "perfect man" to do so. All you can do is accept him as he is, make him fully aware of your feelings and bring him to your level, and then try to think of other ways where you can build upon your relationship.

Ohgood Lord

There's good people and bad people

Black and white issue here

this thread is so funny. not to be a **** to the TC and shes pointed out a clear issue in her relationship but my god the reactions are so funny. Theres the people bashing the BF and the people defending him and the people giving relationship advice and then the guy trying to hit on the TC.

I can't stop laughing its just too funny.

prediction: this thread turns into vicious arguing in the near future.

Playing most Wii games will make you look stupid. But it doesnt compare to DDRair_wolf_cubed

i agree this is amusing especially the giving relationship advice parts

Thats not cool man... you really think she's going to post pics or videos? NO!. So stop acting like a sexual predater. If your not going to give her advice then get out.

Anyway back on topic. I really dont understand why your BF would say that to you. Maybe he wants you to do hoola hoops in your underwear? But you shouldn't have to act like a whore just to get his attention. If he really likes you then he wouldnt be saying you look stupid doing something that you wasted money on for him.

Thats not advice. Thats like telling her to jump in a bottomless pit instead of jumping in a pool of lava.

Nothing wrong with flirting. and tbqh, if you think that's a creepy post, then don't go to gamefaqs CE board.

He's asking for videos and pictures of her and he doesnt even know her name. Thats not flirting thats just plain creepy.
