And you thought playing Halo 3 together would bring you closer...
Convincing our girlfriends to play video games sounded like a great idea. Turns out, it was more of a curse than a blessing. She hogs the Xbox, "accidentally" spoils endings of games and calls us idiots for using an attack spell instead of a health potion.
If your girl has kicked you off the couch, these 10 tips will help you reclaim your sacred game controller.

never mix up relationships with video games, unless ur really bored
Fun article to read, but dumping someone over gaming is idiotic. "OH YES! PLAYING VIDEO GAMES IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS RELATIONSHIP!" We're not in preschool anymore folks..
Oh and to the article XD If you delete my games, I clean out your memory card/internal memory :) If you stuff the controllers down your pants, I'll take it and clean it off thoroughly (I'm used to it anyway.. my little cousin stuffs it and his hands down his pants while he's playing all the time) The pants was my favourite one
xxpyrobychoicexx I completely agree. I AM a girl, and I can't stand it when people proclaim to be a 'girl gamer'. In my experience, they just use it to get attention or to have something to fight for. Girls aren't non-existent in the gaming world anymore, and I don't know statistics. Whether they're the 'minority' or not, there's still enough that being a girl gamer means nothing these days. I'm sure not all people who call themselves girl gamers are like that, but all I've ever come across is complete arrogance.
Wait so we are getting rid of girl gamers???? But I want there to be more. I could care less if she beats me at every game I own. The fact that she can beat me gives me more reason to play with her. But I don't have a girlfriend anymore so that doesn't matter right now. Most of you will probably think its because I play videogames but its really not the case but thats my private life and doesnt need to be shared in a comment.
I am a gamer, who happens to be a female. I have played my whole life and enjoyed it without a man bringing me into the mix. Now I did get a chuckle out of the ariticle because if anyone erased my files I would kill them. And the fact is my man is not a gamer, actually hates that I game. Point being there prob be a hobbie that one thinks the other does to much. If he shared the smallest interest in gaming I would prob appreciate it cause then we would have something to do together or talk about.
... apparently the word "n i g h t" gets edited roflmao.
The trick isn't to get her to stop playing games, it's to find a game to be addicted to together. if you have two computers you're in luck... Just get her addicted to World of Warcraft and hope that her adorable gnome mage doesn't own you too badly. My boyfriend got me hooked... and it stopped me from *****ing at him about playing all ***ht. If she's so into a game that she's completely ignoring your attempts to romance her than it's probably time to dump her, it won't matter, there's a guy on that role play server that she's totally into.
i thought this list was pretty funny but i doubt it would realli work
i'm a girl gamer, and i like all kinda games.. i actually don't like cute games : / but gaming's great, this list is kinda immature :P i like to watch games as well as play it. doubt many girls will hog and ignore you for a game, they end up wanting to spend time with you, just as guys do
