I see a lot of u complain on here that ur men play video games instead of doing things with/for the family. I don't get it, I would never date a man that played video games...its so childish and a waste of time and energy. Jmo. Anybody agree??!!

    Eh. My man plays DoTA (a computer game), but he also works full time, bathes the baby every night, runs his BBQ business every Fri and Sat, and relieves me of baby duty when Im about to go crazy.

    So my opinion is, its not a problem when men play video games; it is a problem when BOYS do.

    I think its like any other thing in the world.... ( aside from crime and drugs lol) in moderation its okay. Like 30-60 min a day no big deal. I don't mind if my husband does it for that long. Ill just be on pregly or doing something he doesn't want to do. Lol. But I do agree its ridiculous that some peoples whole life can be devoted to them, above their relationships and responsibilities. I would never put up with that.

    I like video games lmao, my husband doesnt. But I do not have the time to play them

    My man plays them. I don't think it makes him any more childish then a man who doesn't. Its just a hobby..like reading a book. It is however childish if his life revolves around playing video games! That's when it becomes a problem.

    My hubby plays video games too but I'm a gamer too. He decided he didn't want to anymore now that we will have 3 kids lol Idk why, he doesn't play too much..

    I just said that, so im assuming my post made you annoyed (?) with it (not that im butt hurt about it like some ppl get). Like said above, its a hobby, just like pregly. It annoys me sometimes, but he's home, not cheating, drinking, smoking or doing anything. He also works full time.

    And before the baby, i played to.. for some reason, i dont have time anymore.

    Immaturity and irresponsibility is a completely separate problem than video game addiction, and if a guy plays video games more than he helps out there's a bigger underlying problem in most cases. But I have to admit I've wanted to break my husbands copy of Call of Duty and throw it out the window numerous times.

    I do not agree. What's wrong with video games? It's a form of entertainment, not necessarily childish nor immature. To play them at the expense of one's responsibilities would be a problem. Otherwise,why not? I would not judge so harshly.

    My husband use to be into games pretty heavy but i had to let him know he was a grown up with responsibilties now. Hes cut back alot and always ask if he can play first. Its pretty funny he asks for permission now.

    I love them lol he's not much of one but he works and I'm home all day he takes good care of me :)

    The thing is....I've never seen this defense of them until now. Everything I've seen is 'all he wants to do is play video games' I don't know....I guess I just wouldn't be attracted to a man that plays video games. If u play with ur guy, good for u, but if he neglects u and his family....maybe take a closer look at him. :/

    I made a post about hating videogames not too long ago, because he always plays when he gets home from work. But he loves playing them & he works all day. I think a lot of times we post stuff like that because its just one of 'those' days. So to clarify, sometimes it does bug the hell out of me that he plays his games, but he is not neglecting me or any of his responsibilities...and if thats how it came across in my post, thats not how I meant it all.

    @thehumancrockpot pregly is a waste of time but since you get some useful information from it , some people dont notice that is pretty much the same as playing a game since you are entertaining your self. But w.e we are all entitled to our opinions, I just love games and I think ill get old and still play them LOL

    Me and my hubby play co-op games together! He's in the Air Force and video games are like his escape from all the stress! :) I havent had any problems with him choosing video games over helping me or anything like that! If it became a problem I'd probably start getting aggravated but I dont mind it right now! :)

    We all get frustrated at the things our men do sometimes & video games seem to be one of those things. But really its not so bad. My man works..pays his bills..spends time with me & plays his video games. Sometimes its very annoying but its mostly because us women are being "needy". We just crave all the attn. Lol
  • nicoleok87nicoleok87
    Funny...so much defense for.video games...all I ever saw before was hatred for them...where r these women now????? Lmao.
  • potatopotato
    We both love video games. I do get whiny when he brings his PSP to bed to watch a movie on the PS3, but that's because we don't get much cuddle time with him working so early in the morning.

    My one fear is that our lil guy's first words will be a cuss word. We have such potty mouths when we get frustrated with the games, lol.
