I had a gamer boyfriend once and it sucked, he'd never be on my team when we played co-op, and he didn't have any reservations about fragging me in the back either. Needless to say, it didn't last. stare

digital-panda Is it important to any of you's to have a gamer boyfriend?? I don't think it's too important for me. I've had two boyfriends to date and both are gamers. The one I've been dating for over a year now is very multi-dimensional so videogames aren't his only priority. However, I feel I want to make a connection with the guy I'm dating and for the most part I'm kind of on the nerdy side so if he can accept who I am and love me for it then that's all that matters.

Sadly this doesn't include me. gonk whee
What I do find interesting, though, is how differently I am treated by boys who play videogames when they find out I'm a gamer(especially when they find out after I wipe the floor with them in Super Smash Brothers). They all suddenly wnat to go out for drinks or pizza or something. It's quite entertaining, really.
My last boyfriend was a gamer, though to some degree I introduced him to a lot of it. I really enjoyed having someone to play videogames with like that. As a response to Falafel's comment, I will say that I had absolutely didn't pull my punches, so to speak, with him and didn't expect him to do the same for me. It's all in good fun, right? ^_^
But it's not that important my boyfriend be a gamer. So long as he understands there will be a significant portion of my life spent on videogames whether or not he participates......

my bf write video game journalism for gamenikki.com, we actually met because of video games to a certain extent. I joined what was essentially our schools video game club and he was a member. We don't get to boink as often as we would like because of meddling parents, though.

I have a gamer boyfriend definitely. We are a small town so one of the big things me, him and my guy friends do is get together and have a major halo battle. We have connectors so we usually have 8 kids playing halo at the same time. The only difficulty is that him and i are both EXTREMELY competitive so we get really into the games and sometimes argue about different things. It is always made up in the end though. Its something we both share and it makes our relationship stronger i think. I am able to hang out with him and his friends comfortably because we all like to play videogames. It works out.

This is a funny and interesting topic blaugh A most interesting study, but I'm not sure if it's true or not. I do have a gamer boyfriend of three years and although we don't roll in the hay as often as we used to (or as much as he would like to), we do play video games afterwards. Usually something that we can play together like SSBM or Dynasty Warrors. Now that's what I can call bonding. A lot of of my past boyfriends were also gamers... and musicians. I have a trend ninja
As for other guys, I do know that some of my gamer guy buddies respect me because I play games. But if I start acting like a "guy" (farting and the like), they'll pretend it didn't happen because they also see me as a girl.

My ex and my current boyfriend were/are both gamers. My current one is far more HxC than my last one- he owns more than just a gamecube xD
I wouldnt say its essential that my boyfriend be a gamer.
It is, however, essential that he understand my need for gaming and that he is okay with it- encouraging me, even.
I dont necessarily want a partner in crime, just a good, clear understanding that this is what I enjoy and if I want to stay home to play Halo he can either deal or come over and play with me.
One annoying thing with my current boyfriend is that he has this neverending need to one-up me in every single game.
I lent him my copy of Elite Beat Agents because he said he wanted to try it- he was bragging that he'd beaten a lot of my high scores on Cruisin- the easiest mode.
So we did some wifi multiplayer and I kicked his a**. He may be good at it in Cruisin, but I'm currently on the last level of Sweatin, and its just not quite the same.

Is is important to have a gamer boyfriend...? To me it is. Video-gaming is a large part of my life and to be able to have someone who can connect to that and who can share that kind of thing with me is great. My boyfriend and I actually really started to get to know each other by talking about video games! and it makes a great date: to just be able to stay home and game or go to the arcade and pwn all the machines.
All of my closest guy friends are gamers and they all had a crush or was practically in love with me at one point in our friendships. Needless to say, I only saw them as friends or even as brothers. Their personalities or looks (don't call me shallow, the thing that separates friends from lovers is physical attaraction) didn't appeal too much to me. They all have an ego, and that's not cool, for someone who takes pride in her gaming.

A lot of you said it's important that the guy games too! I mean obviously it's still personal preference, but like I said my boyfriend isn't a gamer at all, and that's one of the big differences between us, but I guess for me gaming is a secondary activity, because my one big goal is to be a character modeler, so while I love to play my games, going to school to actually make cinematics for them, kinda doesn't give you time to play them as much as I'd like.
