Why can't they just advertise it? Sure would make things a lot easier for the rest of us.

Cause that would be telling

Threads like this are why.

Why would they need to advertise it? It is not as if it makes any difference...
/me know plenty of gamer girls, by the way. Hell, with gaming as common as it is, it would be hard not to find any.

What the I don't even.

Maybe if you'd stop advertising the fact that you're a massive creep, then the women around you might be more open about their hobbies.

:jaw:
You say that as if you truly believe I actually know when I'm creeping.

It's easy. Whenever you use the Internet to try and find answers about interpersonal relationships, chances are you're doing it wrong.

Threads like this are why people picture a pimply, socially-awkward creepy teenage boy sitting in their parents' basement when someone mentions computer/video games.
Ever been on a multiplayer server with females who use voice when the server does not have explicitly enforced rules about harassment of females? This **** is why many females don't advertise their gender when they do play games. I know a lot of female "gamers," who are pretty great people, but they get royally pissed when people constantly pester or ask them about their gender.
EDIT: And while I'm ranting, just because a woman plays games does not mean she is playing them in the hopes of getting a boyfriend, which seems to be what a lot of obnoxious boys/men like to assume. When it comes to gaming culture, particularly online, it's like a large portion of the men revert to 1950s workplace social acceptability when someone without a Y chromosome shows up.

think of it this way, you play games, she plays games, when would you ever get a chance to ****?
ive dated several gamer girls. they paled in comparison to blatant whores.

I can honestly say that I like vagina.
Put a vagina and a computer in the same room, hoo boy!

you can do both, id post pictures, but i would probably get banned.

1. Ask girl out on date
2. Get her to tell things about herself
3. Ask question: Are you into video games

Oh wow man.
Not to dog-pile, but honestly, why is this such a big deal in the first place? My girlfriend plays Assassin's Creed, Halo, most of the mainstream crap and I don't give a flying ****. I found the fact that she was a good listener, honest, loyal, tender and supportive far more attractive than the fact she played video games. (that and the fact she was rather good looking)
She could also put up with my flying. That was a big one. :P But she'll never take the controls, nor do I suspect she'll go flying with me very often because she actually has a fear of it. See what I'm getting at here? Kindness, emotional depth, maturity, those are the things you should probably desire to be advertised a lot more. I'd rip into you for reinforcing the garage gamer stereotype here but it appears everyone else took care of that one. :P

Assassins Creed is WAAAAYYYY more popular then you think :P (and so is stuff like Battlefield).

World of Warcraft is more popular than you think... at least my experience.

Unless it's FreeSpace I'm not interested. :P

Doesn't work like that. The girls in the classes I'm taking are too stuck up to go on a date with anyone but rich kids.

Dude. It's relationship advice on the Internet. Of course it doesn't work.

Woah now, back the **** off. Not to get really pushy here, but this really inflames me, and the reason being that I know how he feels. Oftentimes, past reputations and just people being the product of their environment turns them into these stuck-up morons who only chase after the rich-and-beautiful types.
Similarly, I have trouble finding dates not because the girls don't like me, but because I choose not to pursue them in lieu of the fact that their friends would get tired of me quickly (eventually pressuring her to cut off relations with me--yes, that has happened).
All is forgiven in university/college/new careers, though...

Good thing this is my last year at Person.
But I don't care how much women mistreat or ignore you in normal situations, it's still hard to resist them when they want help from you. Especially when they say please. And if they lean over on your desk with them big titties all up in your face and their cleavage is showing.
It really can tear you apart in two directions. I mean, oftentimes they'll even brag on me to all of their friends when I help them but then later they'll go back talking about me behind my back.
EDIT: Sometimes it hurts. I feel disappointed in them. I mean, they're high school seniors taking college-level courses for college credits at the end of the school year. I feel like they should be more mature than that.
-
Well then, this would be a good time to practice saying no.
-
This is a bad thread, and you should goddamn well feel bad about it.

Says the guy whose looking for a girl to play games with...
In all seriousness, I think you should stop thinking about it and focus on the more immediate concerns of your life. For example, your academics and maybe even your health. Work on that mental self control.
-

I've only let it continue in the hopes of getting a moment of clarity.

Amen. If you behave like the socially awkward bloke in the back of the classroom who's persuaded by some cheap titsinone'sfaceaction (goodness, would you really want a girl who does that anyway?), you're going to get treated like one.
Cultivate some kind of command presence and be outwardly confident, hell, maybe even a little arrogant to make everyone laugh and you'll notice a few differences in the way people treat you (as an experiment). I mean, this is the ****ing internet and we can't really objectify women here but if you take one thing away: whatever you're doing right now, is wrong.
We can all give you our $0.02 on relationships but ultimately you've just got to treat this like any other sphere of your life and analyze it a little.

Oh, none of them are really my type. But they do look good. But most of all, they're the only kind I come in contact with at this point.
And if there's one thing I don't have, it's self confidence.
-
So if they are not your type why the **** would you be trying to date them? Or worse still pathetically doing favours for them in the vain hope of getting a sniff of a date?
Are you really that desperate to get laid?
-
Because I've never been on a date in my life.
-
Going on a date with someone you're not all that fond of (for lack of better words) isn't much fun. There are billions of girls in the world; I'm not worried about finding the right one as much as being bitter and cynical when I do.
-
i find theres no correlation between being bitter/cynical and how much pusseh you get. i could be getting laid more than my usual 4 hookers a year, but id still be the bitter psychopath that i am now.
-
I guess, but I was thinking more about when you're not just looking for sex.
-
Because I've never been on a date in my life.
Neither have I, but it doesn't mean I'm desperate and would go out with the first girl that asked, unless they'd be someone I would actually like to be with.
Kindness, emotional depth, maturity, those are the things you should probably desire to be advertised a lot more.
^ This.

... i could be getting laid more than my usual 4 hookers a year, but id still be the bitter psychopath that i am now.
I think that's the perfect post. Seriously. Everyone else should just stop trying to post good posts now, because they will never approach this.

For $500 I could get a good hooker for half an hour...or half a hooker for a full hour...

Also, yes it does work like that. Your issue is your inability to think outside the box. The classes you're taking are filled with parasitic women, so... don't look in your class. Look in other peoples classes, around the block, malls, restaurants, charm a server, bars, theatres, parks, walking randomly around downtown, coffee shops, etc. Confidence or not, there's always a way to strike a conversation with someone regardless of social awkwardness. Start by having a conversation with a cashier, and perhaps make a point of going to that same cashier whenever you can. Confidence is something you build with a person in most cases, and not always exclusive to yourself. Afterall, you get comfortable talking to one person, but not always the next person. That's my advice to getting your foot in the door. Hell, I started a conversation about a sound that kept going off at a bus stop. Well, I didn't start it, she did. I personally was seeing how long it'd take before one of us cracked under the pressure of the sound

you can save some money if she is a little fat. also midgets.
-
Heh, I'm glad I'm married. :p
Stinks for you though.
-
You know what's confusing? Talking with a girl, feeling a connection, but having this little nagging voice in the back of my mind telling you that I'm only talking to her because I'm a guy, and as such I have ulterior motives for wanting to talk to her, even when I don't. At that point it becomes a catch 22 of sorts -- Maybe there's a reason that thoughts like that saturate the back of my mind at such a time? There might even be something to it, because having gotten out of a bad relationship and still dealing with really negative emotions in connection with that, maybe I'm looking for some kind of patch?

What sigtau said for same reason.

Dates are really not all they're cracked up to be in the movies. If your sole objective is to go on a date because you haven't, there's really no point. If your idea is to meet a person/people that you can establish a relationship with, allow me to point you to Lavalife, Plenty of Fish, or another of the plethora of online services for meeting people.
More importantly, if you want to get to know a girl better, ask her to do things with you. Doesn't have to be a dinner date, doesn't have to be a coffee date, it can simply be going for a walk. But you have to ASK. Never asking while waiting for some mythical sign, and you'll be waiting a long time. The worst they can say is "no," and then you have your answer and can direct your energies elsewhere.
Seriously, what the **** is with socially-awkward teenage boys and this fear of rejection... there are more women on the planet than men, the odds ARE in your favour. Rejection is best thought of as practice and learning experiences on your way to meeting the right person/people. Don't fear it.
EDIT: One other thing - people can sense desperation, and its a huge turn-off. If you are desperate to go on a date or get into a relationship, it's going to hurt your chances of it. The right person comes along when you least expect it (in my case, I met my wife after having sworn off relationships in general due to a run of bad ones, and we met while volunteering at a service in University - and SHE was the one who asked ME out).

To add a little anecdote to MP-Ryan's post (All of which is completely true) - My girlfriend and I (We've been together over 3 years now) never had a 'date' before we started going out, as we were just best friends who rather naturally (and a sickeningly sweet way, my friends tell me) just started a relationship. We've still never really been on something we'd describe as a date, but then that's because the concept of a 'date' is a bit more American. We go out together, a lot, for dinner/movies/hiking/whatever, but we never describe it as a date - It's just the two of us spending time together as we want to.

All this blabbering from flamingcobra for a date? This is harsh self torment. The way he's going about it will surely be quest in failure and learning. No need to go that route for him i say.
You're not missing anything flamingcobra. Not missing a thing at all. Dating sucks. If you find a girl, then you simply found a girl (plenty of people do this without dating), but for now your just surrounded by women that aren't interested in you (same here buddy). What's great, is focussing on your other things in life, lambasting winkee, or both. Getting all bitter and desperate with it turns you into a guy that no ones going to want to hang with if you focus on going on date-maybe-getting-girlfriend-most-likely-not.
I've been single for 3 years. All my gf's i went out with were tards (later i found out everyone in interior alaska is a tard, so odds of future dates are going to be tardolicious too). So, why self torment? Why the stress? You have nothing better to do than to focus on the things you want and need done. If not, get a **** buddy. I gotta say, my exgirlfriends mom is a decent intelligent human being (whodathunkit, she's not from interior and i wasn't talking about the sex).

I always hated people today saying never to date/get together with your friends. A lot of people ended up in some great relationships because they did date/get together with whatever friend. Good for you man.

And before someone says "equation is wrong, should be time + money", time spent with girls is directly proportional to the amount of money spent, therefore time x money

Sometimes friends can equal "time x money."

I've had that kind of relationship before. When it ended we still had to deal with seeing each other because we were in the same class. I think I went almost half a year without saying 1 word to her. :blah:
Not that relationships like this don't ever work out. Just wanted to say, you gotta be careful if you find yourself in something like my position.

It won't be a huge problem if it does turn out that way. We started our relationship just as I left school to go to university, whilst she went to a technical college for two years, and then went to a different, nearby university and is currently only in her second year, whilst I'm doing my thesis/in my final year. It'll suck, because she's my best friend as well as my girlfriend, but I won't have to see her if I/we don't want to.
-
Just so I'm clear, I'm not saying you'll definitely have problems. I just posted that as a general warning... to Flamecobra apparently.
Maybe I should reconsider posting in this thread. :P
-

when i was about 20 or so i was all for equal rights and crap like that. but after a decade of failed relationships and senseless debauchery i have decided to hate them moar. gives a new meaning to take your girlfriend out clubbing.
-
Hell, I've never so much as found anyone I was interested in, much less been involved in any sort of relationship, and I'm not nearly that desperate. :p Maybe the one bright side of the stuff I've been working through is that it's given me the ability to subsist perfectly well by myself when I choose/have to. Not that I want things to stay this way indefinitely, but at least I'm not pining over something I don't have at the moment.

That would be difficult.
Or perhaps you'd like Alessia to find her old-as-hell account and explain this to you.

Even if I accept that, the premiss that that money is the root of all evil is flat out wrong. The saying is that "Love of money is the root of all evil."

Seriously guys I have done major research on this subject and I have determined that girls = - k * dMoney/dt where k = 4.3753 * 10^13 vagina*seconds/USD (+/- 0.0002 * 10^13 vagina*seconds/USD). I have yet to publish my results but I expect that any reputable research institution will be able to reproduce my findings with ease.
ed: ps I am serious
