Noooo other hobbies are overrated.

I’ve notice girl gamers lie about their gaming more than guy gamers too. And yeah, it does seem like the majority of female gamers are committed. Actually, until I posted this and received comments from fellow female singletons, I thought I was the only one.

Seems girl gamers are more likely to hide the fact they play than male gamers. Oh well! I have met some amazing women who were gamers however. Now if they all weren’t married, engaged or dating…oh wait single life rocks!

Wait girl gamers don’t look like that. I was grossly misinformed. I’m finding a new hobby!

We actually had to change feeding time because the cat and both dogs learned we would do almost anything to dispense with their pestering once headsets went on. So the instant that happened they would start stumping to be fed… three hours early.

The dogs were satisfied by total surrender and us just moving feeding time to just before our normal raiding time. The cat… well, he’s small and easily scruffed and removed from the desk.

Female gamers do tend to be a rarity in the offline world. Although it’s been awhile since I’ve found a gamer guy that was dating material.

I’ve only dated a non gamer once. It was fine at first, but after a few months I missed my gaming time too much.

Thats what Singles Awareness/Appreciation Day is for! To be honest, I’ve discovered that I prefer V-days when I’m single because I’m allowed to spoil my friends rotten and not feel bad. One year, I sent flowers to my best friend just because I could. This year I got really caught up in the Secret Admirer event which was tons of fun.

I’ve had convenient experiences with couples like that too. Typically they also play well together, which is a huge help.

Yikes! That would be hilarious if computers weren’t so expensive!

My cat is actually pretty tolerant of my gaming. He’ll scratch his face with the screen, but thats about it. I had this one cat, though, who used to like to climb on my desk and chew on my mic while I was trying to raid.

I suppose the anonymity makes a difference. Plus the lack of possible physical contact makes flirting a bit less creepy.

It’s not just men though! I knew a woman in game once who had even the most flirtatious of men screaming “harassment!”
