I have been a hardcore gamer for all my life. Before I was a PC enthusiast and I am still. Now I have Wii and 360 too and quite many collections of games and I still play games most of the time (when I am not working that is) but I have dated my g/f for like 4 years and not mentioning we are engaged too. I think it is just the matter of where to draw the lines. Some gamers sometimes just don't know how to divide reality and virtual life. They put em all together and mix it up and there is no balance after. I mean how can you even meet girls or keep a girl if you just stay in your basement most of the time playing games? That's my 2 cents.

its not impossible to have one. you just gotta find the right one and slowly get them hooked on games hehe. but many people that are online allllllllll the time dont have girlfriends cuz they probably never go outside and you know who you are!!!!!!!!! just thinking about it reminds me of the south park episode HAHA!!!!!!!! :D but the key is to find a girl that has an open mind to gaming.

If you replace the word gamer with nerd, I would agree. But now, I do not. I have a girlfriend. I play games on weekends mostly and whenever I'm bored. Which means like anywhere from 0 to 20 hours a week depending how busy I am that week. Just because I'm not a nerd doesn't make me any less of a gamer. I just have a busy life.

I have a wife and I'm a gamer. The bad thing is that her "needs" are always getting in the way of my wants. "I hungry, I can't believe you spent all of our grocery money on Themes for your dashboard!" Be quite thats what I have to say to you.

I have a boyfriend, and I'm a gamer. I don't think "most" video gamers don't have partners - most of the ones I've spoken to do. If you're a super hardcore gamer, I can see why a notable percentage may not have a significant other... But that could apply to any extremely time consuming hobby. Gaming should be taken like any other leisure persuit.

Im hardcore, and my girlfriend doesnt play, or understand why i play, games. But we respect each other enough to understand that we wont like ALL of the same things and we each have things we like to do alone. As long as you make time for each other, and actually care and respect your partner, it works out fine.

Well, most girls don't really care about games yet (I know a bunch of gamer girls but come on...) at least where I live they rarely like it :P

But the main reason is because some nerds just forget/ignore completly real life to play, just lock themselves in a dark room, with a huge sack of potato chips, and play until their fingers can't move anymore. Negleting completly people outside, and their own health :lol:

I have a girlfriend that isn't a fan of games but respects my little "addiction" as she likes to call it :lol: :P It's funny how when we get across some game related thing (website, store, magazine) and she rolls her eyes and says: "alright I know you wanna check that out, let'sgo see it"

Well I don't have a girlfriend right now but when I did, I never had a problem making time for both. I did play less videogames when I had a girlfriend but I still found time to play. It's not like you have to spend 24 hours a day with her.

Sucks to be you. My wife is a gamer, but not as serious as I am. She will play NBA live 08, Tiger Woods 08 and the arcade games.She loves Luminies on the PSP. I guess you can say I lucked out. My ex girlfriend is a gamer and always kicked my butt in Madden. bish..

Honestly I've had relationships where I think gaming sometimes is bad if both partners enjoy it a lot. Now I love cuddling up and playing a co op game, But I may be the only, girl ,gamer who hates to have a partner who also loves games.

It is fun at first to have someone to play with but then I find it gets to the point where I just want to sit and play my games on my own time and enjoy my hobby alone. It is a bit selfish but like any hobby alot of it is doing it to escape the world and relax by yourself makes it hard when your partner is always there.

This is probably one reason I seek out men who like games but do not play them that much, That way I do not need to worry about not having my own space when I went to enjoy my hobby alone.

I don't have a girlfriend yet because I'm still looking for someone who takes the same interests as me besides video games. But it's hard to find a girl like that in New York since even if they hear a boy talk about games once then they assume he's a nerd.

Personally I think thats a stupid opinion...just because you are tooo distracted to to deal with girls doesnt mean anyone else is. I personally dont have a girlfriend, and i spend my week working then playing video games. Only on the weekends do i go out and play the field. Girlfriends cost money, one night stands dont!!! Thats my motto. Ill get a girlfriend when im good and ready, but as of now i just follow the three F's Find em F*** em and Forget em!!!

I think I should correct you here - most HARDCORE video gamers. Its just problem with time - video gamers dont have enough time to have both. And here is the thing: video game will not leave you if dont spend time with it :)

My advice to you is to get a sceond consol/T.V. You see him playing on one t.v., go to the other one.

I don't agree. If you are smart then you can have both. One, your girl should come before your video games. If that is the case you will never have problems and she will give you more time to actually game. Second, Get her involved. Most girls might say they aren't into gaming, but a lot of times once they pick up a controller they get hooked as well. Gamers should and can have girl friends if they do it right.

I don't know about you fellas, but i'd rather get laid on a Friday night than play video games.  If that's the case, you guys need serious help. Video games are for the wee-hours when your gf is not around.

I actually just started a new relationship. I'm thankful she loves video games although she's seriously out of touch because of school and everything. I will be correcting that this weekend by teaching her how to play Halo 3. I predict she will be just as addicted as I am. :D

I basically explained to my gf that im gonna be a gamer the rest of my life and that it probably wouldnt change unless i lost an arm or something of that nature. While i wouldnt consider myself hardcore by any means, I truely love games and she's not into it at all, but she respects that its one of my passions(as long as i dont dousche her over ever night to be with my xbox). So it depends on your situation I guess.

The only alternative, I guess, is to find a girl that loves games as much as you do . I think thats every guys dream...a beautiful woman to co-op with.

I have a girlfriend, and darrrrrrrn hot too.

I spend a good amount of a time with her, and still get to play games, go to work, and go to school.

Went to "The Nest" with her and her friend last night, it was pretty lame and we all laughed through pretty much the whole thing

No seriously though, I'm reading all of this responses and YOU ALL seem to have g/f. Isn't that funny. I think most (not all) of you are a bunch of lying 'tards.

Speak for yourself. I'm a hardcore gamer and a student in games development (3D art etc.). I've lived with my gf for almost 3 years, it's not a problem in our relationship as she knows it is important to me.
