Topic: Gaming and Girlfriends

My girlfriend hates me using computers when she is around. She wont let me on my computer to even check my email and ICQ messages.

Does anyone else have this problem with their girlfriend?

Is she right? Should I have to give up gaming and computers for her?

she should respect your hobbies and interests. try and get her involved into computers and then you can both enjoy the wonders of the internet :)
like whack her pic on www.ratemypicture.com and that should spark some interest in her.
she is a hottie from memorie right?

:( I wasn't really into computers that much until i was with Aaron. I mean i played with ICQ a bit, but now i'm more into it for the one soul reason. I wanted to have more in Common with Aaron. I don't mind him on the computer, just not all the time.

I think Females are kinda selfish and they want the guy to be totally devoted to them. I know i kind of feel the same way.

The fact that Aaron works with Compters ALL day at work and then comes home Straight to the computer pisses me off sometimes. But what can i do? Thats what he enjoys. Usually when he does that, ill get on my computer as well, just so we are in the same room as eachother.

NO, you shouldn't give up gaming and Computers for her. No offense, but i think thats really selfish on her part :(

Yeh, its a common problem with almost everyone I know, there are exceptions, but the rule seems to be that the computer is somthing that they almost always feel threatend by, I guess because they cant compete with it or some s***.

Through the lans, I have known about 3 or 4 people that have had seperations, and several others that have had really bad spouse problems because of pc's, most of them sort it out and find a common ground, some dont though.

I've had it too, at one stage really bad, but they are things that you sort out, and once they realise that it isnt going to go away they kind of accept it, though a bit of moderation is always good.

Dont just stop for her, but dont keep doing what your doing either, balance it out. If after doing that shes still pissed, tell her where to go.

Thanks for the advice necra and Term.

I really think this is quite an issue for alot of couples, but when you think about it, spending too much time on computers is such a insignificant problem compared to some of the other problems people have.

We could be spending the whole day lying on the lounge vegetating infront of the TV, or feeding an illegal substance addiction, or just wasting away in an alcoholic haze.

Instead we are interacting with other ppl on the internet and improving our skills at using computers which is an asset in this day and age.

Well, its true. I mean ask her WHY she doesn't like you to use the computer.

I bet she says " You care more about the computer then you do me"

Or something along that lines. Females are selfish. Not saying males aren't, but in a different way.

And i would rather sit in front of a useful computer then the TV anyday.

Anyway Point being, id HATE to give up any hobbie of mine for my bf. If they can't understand, that thats what you enjoy, then mabye they are not worth it. Once again no offense.

Sprinkles, you missed the whole point of the post.

Ofcourse any normal person would want to interact with REAL people, but isn't chatting with ppl on IRC more productive than just sitting in front of the TV watching Jerry Springer?

Alot of guys do just watch TV, and alot of other guys like myself prefer to interact with ppl over the internet. Although alot of girls see being in front of the computer as a bigger crime.

"Instead we are interacting with other ppl on the internet and improving our skills at using computers which is an asset in this day and age."

Unfortunetly the 'outside world' doesn't see it that way =/.

You hear people talking about people who use computers like "They just sit there staring at the screen".

They fail to realise there is something which people enjoy about them alot (other porn you sickos!).

If you're girlfriend can't understand your interest (gaming plus whatever else you do on the puter) then you need to get it to her. Fair enough if you're on there all night after you get home from work then she's gonna get pretty pissed off, but if you give her a balance I think she'd be happy. She's probably more worried that the computer takes precedence over her for you (which I doubt is true) so you probably have to get her to understand that in some way :-)

But if she says something like "You're gonna have to make a choice: One of us is gonna have to go and that's either me or the computer" then you need to lay some smack talk to her to make her understand that these are your interests and she has to respect that.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about how much time I spend on my pc and I have realised that in the last 6-12 months I have spent more time each day at my computer than I ever have before. But take into consideration that before that time I never had a permanent net connection at home (in fact, I never really used the net outside of uni or work).

Most of the time I spend at my pc is used either playing online, talking on icq, or spamming these boards. :P

But of the time spent talking to people, I am usually doing something in the background, like playing with photoshop, touching up some webpages, messing around with a bit of programming, etc. So this time is not only spent socialising, but is also spent increasing/practicing my skills I use at work.

Don't get me wrong - I still like getting out and having a bit of fun away from pc's. Went to the park yesterday and got out the footies for the first time in ages... was fun but s*** my arm hurts now from those stupid vortex footies. :)

I think any partner (whether it be the girlfriend or the boyfriend) that expects the other to give up some major part of their life is trying to make that person into someone they're not. And that is rarely going to work.

It wouldn't hurt to compromise a bit though ffs... I mean if my gf comes round I know I wouldn't be on my computer - whats the point of her being there?? Its different for you though Cerb cos you live with Bec and see each other all the time, whereas most of us aren't in that position, so I reckon the time you spend with your girl should be WITH her not with your f***ing PC ffs...

I have never been rejected SO NER! Life is about finding someone you can get along with. Relationships I beleive shouldn't require any work they should just get along. You must want to spend time with your partner and have her as a best friend if she doesn't fill these things then I dont think it is worth pursuing.

but yeah if theres something you enjoy or some crap don't just drop it cuz they say, like a basic thing, you know you're gonna see someone they dun like computers and ya wanna check icq, check it before you leave or something and then do what you want when you come back, its a pretty simple balance really

Are you afraid of your nerdiness Anarot!
cerb
Posts: 1068
Location: Brisbane, Queensland

Anarot: Oh, hell yeah. If I didn't live with her, any time spent together would be just that - together, not at out pc's.

And you did hit on the key word - compromise. You aren't going to like absolutely everything your partner likes, so you have to take the good with the bad. But both have to give and take. Fortunately, bec has taken to pc's (well, she used to icq a bit before we met, and she played Rogue Spear, but she hated quake, yet now she often jumps on one of the ra3 servers) so it has meant that I have been able to play online a bit more, because we can kind of do it together.

Same with lans. I was lucky enough that she was open-minded enough to see what these "geek conventions" (her words. :P) were all about, and now she's like "when's the next lan?" =)

But at the start of the night I always give her the option to decide what we do that night.

Compromise is a tough thing, though, because you're not often aware what the other person is doing for you, because if they point it out, it sounds like they are trying to drop hints that they don't want to do what you want.

Damn I wish I was better with words sometimes... I don't know if that made much sense at all. :(

bottom line.
all people are fundamentaly selfish.
people don't like to compromise, unless they basically get what they want.
women will always claim men don't understand them.
men will always claim women are crazy.

live with it, just remember, it's (a relationship) not worth it if you worry about doing the things you like for fear of another person's annoyance.

Primal

Hi All, I'm Primals girlfriend and after reading this forum thought I might share my views.

Primal and I have been together for 5 years now, when we got together he wasn't into computers much and as the years have gone by his interest has increased. For the 1st couple of years it was hard to adjust. We went from spending times socialising with friends and holidaying alone to nights gaming and taking HER with us on trips away!! I did attempt to increase my own activity in cyberspace but unfortunately I have limited skill in most 3D games (it has something to do with getting dizzy and wanting to throwup).

So you may ask, how did I keep my man happy and not feel unappreciated. I learnt to ask relevant questions and actually be interested in the answer. Examples of this are 'So how many people did you frag today?', 'When is the next LAN?' etc etc. I always try to pop into the LAN for a few minutes to say howdy to the clan and make sure that I am not a total bitch when we have Clan practice weekends at home.

I realise that while he spends a great deal of time on the computer (and i mean alot) he does make an effort to have US time. And thats the most important thing of all!!

By the way StreX you may want to suggest to your woman that she could use the time you are at LANs or whatever to visit her friends and family. I find it is the perfect time for an all day shopp-a-thon and a chick flick. Hope this helps.

No offence, but how old are you =)

Anyway, strex, you're a big tuff hunk of man, stand up for your hobby and don't back down.

Some people use computers for many many reasons, females being the pessimistic bitches they are, will see the worst in every situation. So basically explain it to her (several times before it sinks in) that there are several advantages of your hobby.

Who knows, force her to play f***ing minesweeper or something, guarantee they'll be addicted.

My missus is cool with the whole computer thing, just wish i could afford to build another so she can sit next to me =)

Well, you can always ask her opinion on the matter, i'm sure she'll give it sooner or later =)

Strex your girlfriend is trying to change you. You see girls like to talk a lot about their boyfriends, they score points if their boy friend can play guitar or skateboard or something and lose points when their boyfriend collects cards or likes computers (although this is changing now since computers are definitely leaving the nerdy image behind unfortunately some people will always see it that way). That is why even the little things like quickly reading email and stuff are off limits, I think she would be very happy if u took your computer down to cash converters and traded it in for roller blades or something that she thinks will boost her image and yours.

Its like you buying her those electroad things for weight loss as a present, she would see it as you wanting to change her and probably not like it.

So if she doesnt like you using the computer and is trying to change you its because she is being selfish, if you dont mind being changed and can find a new acceptable hobby you enjoy go for it but just becareful that she doesnt find something else she doesnt like.

If it is only when she is around then ignore all the above because she did come over to see you not you at your computer, but if she is saying stop using it forever and dont go to lans then make up your own mind.

To put it simply if you have an interest or a hobby you know something that you realy love to do.Then no-one and I mean no-one should ever try to make you stop doing it for them.After all you were doing it b4 they came along so as far as they are concernd it is a part of who you are so if they want you then they should accept you and the things that you love to do.

I think everyone gets on here and calls people names most of the time in good humour (notice I say MOST of the time =p).

oh yeah I'm supposed to give my opinion on this matter well according to Einstein I am anyway.

Ok then I say It's all good in moderation you just have to remember that there are times and particular moments in a relationship where you just have to sacrifice your gaming addictions and spend time with your partner eg velantines day (hint hint =p)
or anniversaries and b'days (but of course first they have to remember or care the likelihood of that prolly being 0)

bag me out all you want I don't really care I'm just being pessimistic

All females look immediately at the bad side of things *first*

They way you replied to me gives me the impression that you thought i was abusing you personally (hence the bad thing first idea)

I was not bagging you personally, i was making a generalisation about all females, you yourself have even said there's exceptions.

So why look for a fight? That time of the month?

Yeah but come on its a hobby - ffs I think relationship is a little more important. No computer games should come between a relationship. That is total common sense. If you would rather play games than be with your woman you are A) TOo immature to be in a relationship B) Not really interested or keen enough on your woman. Thats the fact people.

How old are you Anarot and how many girlfriends have you had?

Trust me, you cannot spend 24 hours a day around with the same person, even if it's the person you love and cherish for all eternity or some bs

There's a thing called "time out" ya see, it's the time where you don't spend any time with your girlfriend so that you don't end up hating each other for their annoying little habits etc

Hobbies extend relationships

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

If you would rather play games than be with your woman you are A) TOo immature to be in a relationship B) Not really interested or keen enough on your woman.
If you would rather play games, then play games. If your woman likes you, then she'll either a) support you (which would be the most preferable thing, but probably also the most unlikely) b) tolerate it c) ignore it and get on with her persuits whilst you are doing yours which will probably end up in tragedy due to the duplicity of females

On the other hand though, if your girlfriend has a hobby, then you better make damn sure you support her in that; there's nothing more f***ed than being in a situation where two people have fairly in depth hobbies that require a lot of time, and one person is all supportive and encouraging, and the other person basically just ignores instead of reciprocating.

Wouldn't it be easier to say, if you and your g/f go together WHILE You were "addicted" to your pc. Tell her this is how i am this is what i am like if you don't like it sorry. But if you kinda gradually get into gaming AFTER the relationship starts, then you need to balance it out betweem the 3 of you. Yes, your pc, you woman/man and by yourself. Thats my 2 cents.Nuff Said........

FFS children when you are playing games you computer is a TOY. Grow out of it... bloody hell. Sif you spend 24 hours a day with your chick anyway. You can have time off her when she isn't there - when she is you should be spending the time with her not playing with toys like a bloody baby. Grow up you little poofs. Your woman is more important than your f***ing toys.

If she has a hobby chances are it will actually be something that she shouldn't have grown out of when she was 16. I'm saying you shouldn't play games but they shouldn't take over your life like they seem to for so many of you.

OMG Einstein is actually making some good points.

"Trust me, you cannot spend 24 hours a day around with the same person, even if it's the person you love and cherish for all eternity or some bs

There's a thing called "time out" ya see, it's the time where you don't spend any time with your girlfriend so that you don't end up hating each other for their annoying little habits etc"

SO true, everything about your partner starts to really s*** you off when you are around them 24-7. They way they EAT, the nasty little habits they have. That can't be good for the relationship.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" I'm a firm belieiver in that :)

"cept i don't agree with what you say about AnaRoT. :(

AnaRoT you sound like a deadset loser. all you ever seem to post about is getting s***ty with other people with your "FFS" s***.

and why is it you always have to call people little nerds and s***? its seems to me your insecure, your probably one yourself calling others it hoping you can lie to yourself thinking your some social anti-nerd.

about telling people to get off their computers? ive been reading the forums for awhile now, but 2651 posts on your behalf doesnt say much for you. must you really have your say on everything? even if no1 gives a s*** what you think.

now reply AnaRoT with your "FFS nerd... (useless s*** here)" you know its all you got. you never answered how old you were either.

yes, you dont play games, yet you spam the forums at QGL, which stands for "Queensland Gaming League".

its also in your top left of this page, and at the bottom of this page.

maybe we should stop the non-related posters....

I believe anyone that dones play games, should not post here, especially crap like holdens vs ford, or whos girl firend is the best, or anime rock, or sp00ties. Who gives a f***!

I just want to know, what people are playing, where and when, and dic has the idea, q2ctf! not this "should i stop playing my machine for my GF? get a life, and kick that s***-box outta the window.

f***ing f*****s.

P.S.
I dont have a GF.

Not ALL girls are the same, take myself for example...i got into playing games (actually started playing HL and CS first) when i went to a private lan with friends of mine, then i got a nice pc and havent stop playing since.

I have found that some guys also dont like their girl to spend so much time online, whether it be ircing or playing games, so therefore i was in the same boat as you Strex. Everyone is different and have different interests, which people should respect, Im a strong believer in each to their own, as long as its not hurting others.

If your partner has a problem cause you spend so much time, why dont you put a set time aside, say mon, wed, friday nights you spend with her and the rest is time to yourself or something like that. If that doesnt work then she is too selfish for her own good, cause you shouldnt give up your hobbies, things you enjoy doing for someone who doesnt like them.

And einstein, just to clarify my point, not ALL women are the same :)

Necra just cos he posts in them doesn't mean he's hypocritical. He wants to get rid of them - I think its a good idea too. But why would he stop posting in them while he still can? I mean its so fun to watch you people get all worked up and accuse me of being a loser :)

Errr, i think you better rephrase that AnaRoT. Leave me out of the equation. I've never called you a loser, so therefore i don't need to be in that paragraph, you should have started a new one.

Didn't they teach you that at school? Always start a new paragraph when there is a new idea/topic.

It was a paragraph about posting. It had the same topic all the way through. To the back of th class you go.

Nah plague its me who judges whether people are losers or not. Sorry mate, but you're a loser :P

Primal I love you - will you marry me. The thought of a 30 yr old gamer really turns me on!! Gee just maybe thats why you have had so many different girlfriends instead of one stable constant relationship - the chicks get sick you masturbating at your computer all the time.
Personally I wouldn't take relationship advice from someone who can't hold a steady relationship.

Well my gf and i have been together 4 years and lived together for 3 so i think i am qualified to comment. Anarot u remind me of what i used to say and think when i was ur age. But in my exp just because u have a gf doesnt means u know s*** about anything - i certainly didn't really start to pick up anything till we had lived together for about 6 months or so. U cant understand what a proper relationship is like till u have reached this milestone - cuz untill then they will be hiding things from u (even if they say they arnt). Well i used to be a heavy gamer and now i practically never use the pc when my gf is around, sure its annoying but when u care about someone u are willing to make compromises, she knows i love to game/nerd stuff so i regularly go to lans etc go outwith mates but i dont let it take up my time with her cause we only have about 2 days a week together (cuz we both work and study) so spending that time on my comp would be kinda selfish. I find that even if u think that ur the one making all the compromises and missing out on ur intrests, when u look at it clearly u realise that they are doing the same for u and thats what shows that u care about each other. So basically dont be a selfish mofo cuz really is chcking the e-mail that important that ud rather be doing that then spending time with the person u want to be with for the rest of ur life?

Phew, well flame/call me a fag on

And ppl finally realise he a a f***en poof with supressed feelings for Primal.

AnaRot mate, get a life and stop posting.

wtf r u trying to do?
finally realise ur life is pointless and s***. And by posting heaps on messages on this forum maybe ppl will remember u for something one day?
"Oh AnaRot, I remember that fag, he had like 2690 post on the QGL forum...to bad he snapped his neck while trying to suck his own dick."

AnaRot you are a f***ing loser. If you had paid any attention to these threads at all you would have seen that I had posted my comments on gaming and gfs earlier. In this post I mentioned that Primal and I have been together for 5 years. We recently got engaged. Primal actually knows what he is on about when he talks about relationships and it would do well for you to take heed.

It is obvious that a 19year old with your kind of immature attitude has no worthwhile opinions on a topic such as relationships. You should shut up and let ppl with a clue respond.

Necra - It would be great to say Hi at the next LAN if you are around.

thanks

Like Einstein said we have been living together for 18mths and there is no way in hell I would make hime give up his computer it's like part of who he is.
I'll admit that they're a times when he can be a little I won't say selfish I'll say absentminded and forget that there are other people in the world besides him and his computer

for eg saying how much he would have liked to have got me a birthday present but he is broke and then in the same week going and buying a $60 game (that hurt my feelings a wee bit) and not because I am materialistic about that kind of stuff. It would have just been nice to have been ascknowledged in some way.

Anyway enough of my crap like anyone is really interested. Let's just see how he goes valentine's day huh lol.

Okay everyone, I think we all understand what is happening here, we have presented our points and arguements at least 100 posts ago, I'm pretty sure (even if some of us haven't said so), we acknowledge the fact that the majority of computer users (any form) with partners just need moderation.

Now I'm fairly certain that what is happening here is just repeated thoughts, dangling insults and crushed ego's. It's a very interesting thread though, I've just spent the last half an hour or so reading everything to date, trog, necra, primal and your fiancee have great points and have stirred the topic up a bit which is cool, anyway I hope everything works out for you StreX and anybody in your position =)

Well i know that I may be coming into this post a little late,and I don't usually post personal stuff like this on public forums, but I just wanted to let people know that it's not just females that can have a problem with their boyfriends spending time on the PC.

A few months ago my boyfriend of 8 years decided that I had to choose between spending time going to lans, playing online etc and him.
I offered to compromise, such as only going to one lan a month, and spending less time at the computer but it still wasn't good enough. As I wasn't prepared to give up completely a hobby I love, and devote all of my time to him and his hobbies as I had in the past, he left for a 'break' and a month later decided he wouldn't be coming back.
So I guess in some cases where both people are reasonable, these things can be worked out, but in others where one person cannot compromise they can't.

Sorry Ember, didn't mean to upset you, just wanted to show how it can happen the other way around. I don't think there's many times when it can get to that point, it depends on the people involved, ok? :)

And Trog, yes, I think it may have been partly an excuse too. There were of course other things involved, but that seemed to be the main one.

HMMM.....that is one very long thread!

My two cents worth...

No one should make you give up your hobby/interest for them alone. That is purely selfish behaviour on their part. If you have someone requesting that, then there are bigger troubles afoot with your relationship.

Comprise, working out a balance, understanding each other blah blah have been mentioned. Well done to those who have worked it out :) Every tried explaining to the other half what makes it so interesting to you? By doing that you help them understand what YOU are all about. Not just someone who plays games/enjoys 'puters etc.

And for the personal experience "thang".

Games are my job, Wireplay is what I do ALL day and loving it! Except when I get home... no games... I don't want to think about them...jut want to chill and spend some time with my man. (Who is quite content to listen to me babble on about mad gamers and their antics, as long I sit and listen to his daily babble about architecture!)
