You're an idiot.
The analogies that were given were based off of spending a lot of time with said gamers and also working in a media company where everyone I work with IS a gamer.
Sorry that your personal social skills are lacking so much that you are taking personal offense.
Being a virgin MUST be hard. :( |

I must be boring, I don't play any video games. :wtf:
On the other hand, people might be weirded out by how much time spend doing non-social activities. |

What's the activity?
Reading is non-social and I spend hours every day doing that! :D |

| MrJiveBoJingles |
All my hobbies are non-social. Music, programming, exercise, reading about certain topics.
The only social activity (don't consider it a "hobby") I do is post on TA. |

| It's not about the hobbies being non-social as much as the question of do you hide behind your hobbies to avoid social interaction and develop social skills that is the question... if you don't - then you're just a loner (like me) who enjoys solitude versus group activities ... which there is nothing wrong with that. ;) |

Your views are flawed though because its based off of just your point of view and your view is inherently biased due to a personal offense by a member of this group. Which is a HUGE group of people. 1 out of 3 people in the US own a PS2, that means you are grouping a third of a the US population together, thats millions of people, men, women, and children from all different socioeconomic backgrounds.
I honestly do not even game that much, most of my time spent involved in this game is not even IN the game. Its doing math and programming for it, not playing it. Beyond that I barely pick up the controller for my PS3 to play games, and I don't really do much of anything other than program on my computer. So I am not taking this personally, you just assume I am because thats how you are taking it (and should be because I am calling your views flawed and stupid). |

| I think she was mainly talking about "hardcore" gamers who go at it for multiple hours every day. Who probably still number in the millions, but nowhere near a third of the U.S. population. |

No, she wasn't. She said earlier that she agreed with a statement that meant any video games made someone unsuitable for her for the reason she specified earlier.
She also implied through her post saying that she checked her boyfriends apartment/house for any sign of video games. |

Good point.
That is pretty ridiculous, I agree. |

#1 - Yes I was talking about hardcore gamers, which, everyone but you figured out.
#2- YES I checked my boyfriends house for that before we started dating because I did NOT want to date a hardcore gamer ever again. Not going to do it again. |

| Most people who own games are not hardcore gamers. That's kind of like seeing a few beers in a guy's fridge and concluding he must be an alcoholic. :-P |
