all you need is a bitch that gets along with your bros's bitches and will get shwasted at brunches and is a good time to be around and will s your d and will not bother you when football is on, or even try to talk to you about football cuz they know how fucking annoyed you get when chicks think they know about sprot. and will refer to MMA as cagefighting, and doesnt mind that you would rather go out with your bros to watch cage fighting than hang with her on saturday. holy fuck i love my girlfriend.

Pretty much this.

Although she occasionally gets pissed when i hang out with my bros to watch cagefighting and sometimes she's reluctant to hang with my bros's bitches.

bitches as a general rule hate bitches

[tyven]

well I'm cool with them hating eachother, but as long as they can be put in a room together and talk about hair and nails so that me and my bros can fucking bro out, whatever.

This is the worst thing about meeting other couples. For whatever dumb reason people will expect you to want to socialize with the women that talk about retarded shit like dipers and Jennifer Aniston's new haircut instead of with the men that actually talk about normal stuff.

Gender roles. Blame society!

I was raised to be able to converse with people. If we had people over or went out, my dad generally let me stay at the table even when I was a kid, unless I actually liked the other children which was rare.

Probably because you can handle it?

Most women cannot. All of my bro's girlfriends suck at having normal conversation and kind of just sit there when the bro's are talking. I can hit it off with a girl alone, but as soon as she's around my friends she turns into a shell and I never bring her around again.

i want to know how many people have actually had a serious relationship with a person they met online.

I'm not talking about hookups or gangbags, I mean actual healthy relationships

I've met one longterm (1 yr+) and 2 shorter relationships (2-5 months) off of dating sites. One I did meet (oh wait 2) for more strictly business, although I would have liked something more involved with the one girl, but apparently I screwed that up by not hitting that on the first date. She was apparently offended, and here I thought no action on the first date was the general..

In any case I met my recent ex on lavalife and she had the tag-line Talk Nerdy to Me, which sounds like Talk Dirty to Me and I thought it was clever. we really hit it off for a long time but we later struggled on key differences

Stop giving a fuck about getting a woman, suddenly women everywhere. It's worked well for me since forever.

Also gamer girls are mostly boring. Female equiv of basement dweller jobless men are not really interesting. What you want is someone that does not give a fuck about your gaming habits or likes to participate every now and then

I addressed the latter option with shiro's question "what if she does not play at all?"

as to the former issue of not caring then suddenly everywhere, I've experienced this too, needy guys look desperate when they are searching. If you act all "uh huh, I'll wait." then for some reason they're like "ooooh he so interesteen~~". But just because I pull them in doesn't mean they will like vidya, so I'm honing in on the key probelm and going from there.

Maybe it's a bad idea but it's the number one strain in my last 2 relationships so I'm trying to head that off at the pass

[Howard Roark]

Yeah seriously any partner of mine that comes home from work and slumps in front of the computer to play a MMO until they fall asleep and then goes on to play it all weekend and gets whiny when I suggest doing something that *isn't* playing games is going to piss the living hell out of me. Seriously, I enjoy playing games or watching TV or knitting things or playing table top RPGs or going to the movies or cooking but I don't let any one of these consume my life. Enough of my life was consumed by a game and I certainly don't want to go back there. Nor would I wish for anyone I was involved with to be in that sort of state. It's important to me to be able to do a variety of things together and grow together.

what post is this in response to? demo's "female equivalent of basement dweller" a whole page back?

Can't remember if I mentioned it in the OP, but a friend of mine is married to a guy she met in-game and they seem completely content. As far as I know they don't eat dinner in front of the computer or pass out on the keyboard or anything like that, but they do play MMO's or PS3 or w/e together, sometimes not even the same game but they also hit the bar, visit friends, go to the mall, and generally lead balanced lives.

Even left to my own devices I can't play for too long without needing a break, some fresh air, grab some food, go see a movie, meet up with whoever, go to work, bla bla.

Yeah I think it was just a reflection of me not liking who I was a few years ago I've met a not-insignificant percentage of my partners through FFXI in some way, which is actually quite surprising since they all happened well after I quit. But yeah I'm hardly a gamer girl any more. I mostly have more productive things to do in my spare time, though if they ever get games happening which I can control with my mind while knitting/spinning/weaving I am so there.

That said, I've managed to get a significant way through Zelda and am well and truly looking forward to D3 so perhaps there's some gamer girl left in me yet Not to mention I have the best Game Dev Story dev shop ever.
