I have played video games since I was 5. And I have played them way to much. Now there is a lot of video game hate. Most girls are disgusted by them, and would be completely turned off if you told them you played them a lot. Its about as unattractive as it gets.

However, some girls are into video games. Now how do you go about bringing this up, I am sure 100s of guys have tried to use that as common ground with her. How do you go about it without looking like just another guy.

that's a good question. most of the girls i talk to arnt really into to wow, cod, dead space, red dead etc. so i dont dring those games up into convo with them, unless they mention something about them.

If you wanna go about talking to girls about games id bring up LBP2 (little big planet2) or rockband, cuz then shit hits the fan. funnest 2 games I know girls like to play.

I say this cuz i have 2 friends, one who talks about politics a lot and one who talks about games a lot. you just have to know your gonna ride girls into the LJBF (lets just be friends) zone if you talk to them about something they have little to no interest in. the only key to this is to keep things on topic with that they like (ex LBP). a guy isnt gonna listen to you if you keep on talkin to him bout a mac when hes into linux. and a girl wont listen to you about politics if she doesnt care about the economy.

so in other words id just ask her what games she likes and throw a few negs/push pulls at her. ex: aww --- is a pretty good game, but we all know --- is better. come over later and you can try it out

News to me. I think the women just don't play the puerile adolescent male guns-a-blazing big boobs games so much. Let's put it this way: if a game probably wouldn't survive a Feminist deconstruction, maybe it's not general purpose conversational material for the ladies. In contrast, my brainy sister has always been partial to The Sims, and my not-as-brainy sister likes the simpler games like Snood where you shoot marbles out of a cannon at stuff. Both grew up with a SuperNintendo and a Mac. A lot of the Wii casual games seem more gender balanced, because they can be things like bowling, racket sports, or driving go karts.

You also gotta decide your audience and who you want to hang out with. My dorm in college was a castle, with an armorer in the basement. It had a group of nerdy people called CLRries, short for the "Central Living Room" they usually hung out in. The joke was they only talked about 3 things at dinner: sex, computers, and D&D. They screwed like rabbits. I was never a CLRrie myself but I was friendly with them. Over the years I did try to get up with 2 of 'em, but for some reason it didn't go anywhere. Go figure.
