I remember the greatest quality of my Ex-girlfriend is thats she loves videogames, Its a gamer's dream girl. Its something women wont understand but yeah its fun to be in a relationship with someone
My current girlfriend is the typical woman who loves shopping, watching romantic movies and soap operas. she is not interested in video
she forced me to watch those romantic movies, those cliche soap operas and carry her shopping bags throughout our relationship..... Now I asked something back, and its not even her body...(lol)Its easier to get her into be than have her play a videogame.
I just ask her a favor, Play videogames with me, she finally agreed to do it with me finally,..Its kind of hard, she is struggling to memorize the controls of the game and she had been killed multiple times. I think its a long way before she will learn how to play some videogames. I will have tears of Joy once she manage survive 3 stages.
How do you think I can convince her more to play videogames? How can I get her hooked.

I just recently got into playing xbox, although I'm not sure how my boyfriend feels about it. I like shopping, romantic movies, and lots of other girly things but I just recently fell in love with playing video games.
I don't like playing one on one with my boyfriend because he's really good and I die a lot. But we do play on xbox live together on the same team with a few of his friends. It's a lot of fun and I'm sure he doesn't mind having a girlfriend that is up for trying just about anything, even video games.
At first I didn't really like them but once I started playing xbox live against real people, I got hooked. Maybe have her play against other people and she'll enjoy it more. I know I'd rather play MW3 live than just the regular campaign against the computers.

Its fun to play coop with friends, anyway she improved now,she started to die less by not splitting with me and using my character as a bait...
I am running out of bullets so she will stop dying.

LOL! I tried that with my girlfriend, I even lend her my console so she could play it at home. Well, she did get hooked but it's of a different level than gamers'. She liked playing Tekken with her siblings and also enjoyed resident evil but would not play RPG like Suikoden, which is my all-time favorite Role-Playing Game Series. I am not sure if she tried God of War and the others. When my girlfriend and I are together with my siblings, we usually play Fifa, Tekken, and NBA but most of the time I get to just sit and watc because my girlfriend gets bored. It's just not easy to get them hooked into this things unless they have been into this since their childhood.

You bought a life-sized Lily pillow? That's really cool! My girlfriend would have been jealous too. I have never really played any coop games with her because I know she 's not interested. We do however play games on her facebook account. She enjoys those games there. They are simple but fun, too.

she should be disturbed if the Pillow I hug at night is a Zangieft or Poison Pillow lol. Its just a Pillow. Lili is her punching bag at training mode.... I know she is jelous. I think Facebook games are attractive to girls cos of their simplicity and casualness. I lvoe zombies, My girlfriend dont like them. I thought her how to play Monster Rancher, she likes it cos she finds the monsters cute. I hope I succeed on brainwashing her into a gamer, I dont care if she becomes better than me, anything that will take her away from shopping.

That would definitely be very disturbing.
Anyway, I don't think you should force her into it so much. The most important thing is you get to spend time together, enjoying each others' company. I do, however also believe that this hobby is better than shopping.

heheh you ar not alone i never met a girlfriend that likes to play videogames too so i think it would be hard to teach her because videogames normally derives from personal passion or be interested and involved in the plot and so on...may be you can teach her some games tips but i think it would be harder that she want play games because she feels a real passion for them!!

I get her to play now some games that I like, but that didnt lessen her passion for shopping.
It is a progress somehow but she still keeps on dying whenever I play games with her.

I once dated a man who loved videogames. While we were together he introduced me to his favourite video games. I was not good at them and I never got really interested in those games, so it wasn't a big success. I didn't dislike games as such, because I often play online games and I also download games sometimes, but I was just interested in a different kind of games and I didn't find his games interesting. Maybe your girlfriend would also get interested in video games if you find the right games. Maybe she has to start with games that are different from the games that you usually play, because I think that women and men often like different kinds of games.

I'm trying to teach her to play games that are female friendly. Anyway she hates Lara Croft, she thinks her creation is a bad representation of women.(I think she is just jelous.....LOL)
when I get her to play games with female characters as lead characters, I have to make sure she is not super sexy..... she doesnt like gory games and also doesnt like games that requires lots of reading.

I'm a female and I always have been a video game player and still play them. I always loved those "Ratchet and Clank" series. I still play that one. I noticed alot of females don't get into video gaming.They just aren't interested. I find videos very entertaining. I do get addicted to playing them. I really don't know how to get someone else interested in playing if they aren't already. Maybe start playing them in front of her and it will make her want to try.

by far there is improvements, playing a lot of videogames with her is the reason I am not active in the last few days..LOL
she still keeps on dying on games but she is enjoying now, I see her smiling now and feeling happy that she plays with me.But in return she will force me to watch those soap operas and romantic movies.

I get her to play some games now though its not a genre that I really like, I guess its a progress already. LOL I will ditch all of my nerd friends if my girlfriend will become a full pledge gamer.

so He thought you how to play videogames? Did you enjoyed the games or did they bore you. Making a woman likes videogame is hard. Though yeah, if they dont want their husband to hang-out with his friends who are most likely bad influence, they should learn to be "one of the boys" so they can get more attention than his friends.
