That is sad--gamers make great friends/dates/spouses. If you're always playing games, then she always knows where you are.

Unless you're out roaming the streets looking for new Skylanders figures, that is.



Seriously though, I know it's hard right now, but you truly are better off finding someone who is interested in you. Couples don't have to share every single interest in order to be compatible, though obviously some overlap would make things more fun. But she does have to respect you and your interests. The right girl will appreciate your hobby and respect you, even if she doesn't completely understand your obsession.

I posted a picture of my three gold Skylanders on facebook. She told me that she wants me just as a friend, but before that she was comparing us to Katniss and Peeta from the Hunger Games and she said she would give us a chance. I was absolutely shocked. I explained to her what they were for but she didn't care. Has this happened to anybody else?

You should have done the right thing and killed her so you could have been the sole champion of the hunger games!

Please be careful with comments like that - it is nigh on 3am here in Oz and I nearly woke up the household laughing at this line!

me run hiding my skylander collection........

^ Me too.When fiends come over I put them in cases and shove them to the back of my bed. Sucks, does it not.

I don't really hide what I like. I never expected this girl to act in such a way, but I guess you never know. I'll continue to be proud of my Skylander collection.

Hey more fish in the sea, you have plenty of time you're still young, don't sweat it.

Like everyone else has already said - She isn't worth it.

I know you won't, but don't hide what you like. There are girls out there who think Skylanders are cool and who are your age. It'd be impossible for there not to be. I'm 20 and met my boyfriend (who's 23) at an anime and gaming club. We have a lot in common and if he'd hidden his interests from me, I doubt we'd be dating.

And, of course, being gamers and geeks, we get excited over Skylanders and play all the time together.

Anyways, I'm sure there's a girl out there for you who doesn't get all weird over the fact you play Skylanders. I'm sorry this girl friend-zoned you, but at least you were able to see her true colors early on.

In short: Girls are weird. Don't let this one get you down.

And that's exactly why I always make sure I'm looking good before I head to GameStop--you just never know when you might meet the gamer/nerd of your dreams. . . .

Good attempt at a coherent sentence, but a fail nonetheless.

Don't worry about it Zook. Plenty of us gamer girls out there that appreciate a fellow gamer. Rather my husband be at home playing games, than out at a bar any day!

Does make me wonder, why in the heck to non gaming girls feel so threatened by a guy who likes to game? I always appreciated and welcomed the competition. *grins*

she changed her opinion of you so quickly? she doesn't seem a nice girl

This is the saddest thing ive ever heard...

I'm 20, my girlfriend is 17. I started playing Skylanders just after we started dating (thats when it came out) and she's as addicted as me. She downloaded Cloud Patrol on her moms iPad and we played it for hours yesterday.

But I have the coolest girlfriend in the world. This girl sounds like a tool and doesn't seem like someone you would want to date anyways. Also, Facebook is the devil. You never post anything nerdy on Facebook, you post it on Tumblr. Facebook is only used frequently by complete tools.

This is so true! My boyfriend's big on Star Wars: The Old Republic right now and plays with a group of his friends online. I would much rather him be doing that than going out to bars, ect.

Who cares? If she makes a big deal over that fact you play video games than it isn't worth it. Besides, when did video games determine your love life. I've met people who don't really enjoy video games who go out with others who do. She's not worth the trouble.

Quote: Zook

lol well, I'm 24 and she's 23, so we aren't really kids, but I get what you are saying. And Katniss and Peeta end up together in the end.

True, they do end up together, but she is basically a mental case at that point and Peeta has to restrain himself from trying to kill her every time he sees her

He restrains himself throughout the last book, but remembers at the end when he finally convinces her to have children. I'm still here to defend this girl. She is so sweet, but also naive and crazy like Katniss lol.

Even after she played you like that? Wow, man.

I don't think she's naive... she's just fickle and too image conscious. Dissing you because you posted about some toys, seriously? You're a backup plan man, move on. She's just playing with you.

I know nothing we tell you will change how you feel, but honestly plenty of fish and chicken in the sea. You'll see this eventually.

What girl doesn't like skylanders????? It's an absurdly cute game. I'm freaking 29 and a female and I only have the attention span to play kids games =_=;

haha well, I know the best thing to do is move on, which is what I'm currently doing (or try doing). I'll get there, but we've been through a lot together so it's a bit hard.

I'm a life long gamer, and am very lucky that my husband shares my passion. I haven't gotten crazy about collecting something in quite a long time, so Skylanders is something that we both can get excited about.

So, basically my point is if a girl doesn't like gaming or thinks your skylanders are nerdy... find another lady. It's 2012, and there are definitely lady gamers out there.

I will second that. My husband is Playing this too at the moment, doesn't bother me, that just means the 360 is all mine, not having to fight over it is always nice

And yes finding a girl who games now'a days shouldn't be too hard.

Oh boy, we got into a fight today. She told me I had to do other things like go to the gym. I don't go to the gym, but I do exercise by going for jogs, walks and soon bike rides when I get my tires fixed. However, she ALSO doesn't go to the gym. :/

Things like this just isn't worth it. Trust me. I've been in the same relationship for almost 15 years, and NEVER have I ever told my husband he needed to do this or that, and he's never done that to me.

Relationships are all about trust and accepting one another, and its obvious she doesn't accept you for who you are and what you like. She's seriously not for you.
I'm pretty sure you can do alot better than this.

Things such as this only get worse over time, get out while you still can. I'm totally not telling you what to do either. Just some friendly advice on what I'd do

Gaming > Relationships

That is all.

She's trying to change you, bro. She wants you to be like her dream dude, which I'm assuming is a Jersey Shore type guy.

Find someone else.

You need a chick that plays games, unlike her. Like me!

Egad, dear think long and hard about this relationship. I ain't going to tell you what you need to do, it is ultimately up to you if you stay or go. But in my opinion, if I ever told my husband what he HAD to do or what he was GOING to do, I can guarantee you we wouldn't be married still.

Respect needs to go both ways in a relationship, and if it isn't cut out to be, then that is the way it is.

And this.

From what you told us, Zook, it sounds like she's rude and shallow. Someone like that isn't worth your time. Heck, if someone I was interested in had said that to me, it'd be a big cue that I need to start turning my attention elsewhere.

I've heard of other relationships starting off with "You need to go to the gym" and I've watched gamers become snob-ish, whipped boys.

Quote: PinkWater

haha yeah, I wouldn't mind finding a girl that plays games. That way we would have a lot in common!

Well, Zook, hopefully you can work something out. If not then just let her go and find someone who doesn't judge you based on your interests. If she tries to make you change who you are then she's not worth it.

This analogy made my day.

you all are too nice. I'm a mom but he's only 7. I have also beenn married for 14 years. So my mom instincts to protect and give unsolicited advice are kicking in. Dump her and move on. Trust me when I say if she's this controlling about this, you can only imagine what your life will be like if you ever get married and have kids. Stop her from telling you what should or shouldn't do. Dump her and let her control someone else.

Is she a dumb girl doing duckfaces on facebook? With an orange tan?

I'm moving on from her for sure. We get into too many fights, and lately she doesn't really seem interested in talking to me. As somebody else said, there are plenty of other Legendary Trigger Happy's on the shelf!

In fact, I'm going to post the LTH comment on facebook. It's too funny to let pass.

smart boy.

No, she isn't. She's really pretty, but I know looks aren't everything. I also thought she was pretty on the inside.


Edit: Maybe I'll meet a nice Stealth Elf one day

Wow seriously, she is a bit stupid to reject someone based on a video game...

I mean, my boyfriend is 31, and he he often plays "Magik" (cardgame).

I can't say that I like this cardgame, but I'm interested each time that he shows me the last card he bought, ven though I'm unable to understand, and he listens each time that I buy a new Skylander and he helps me to get the three stars in the game. Oh... well... he is trying to sprint while I'm behind him trying to heal him with Whirlwind as he is very bad lol =P

So... anyway

haha yeah. Well, even if this girl didn't mind, I know she wouldn't play right along with me, or even want to talk about it. It's sad that I'm learning this a bit too late into the game. I would have liked to know this sooner.

Oh thanks. I haven't finished the last book yet... Now you've spoiled that for me... D:


But yeah, what everyone else says. She has no right to judge you for a game you like.

So a girl rejects you for playing a game. Who cares?
Just follow these steps and you'll be fine.
step 1: Forget it. No girl is "Worth it".
step 2: listen to step 1.
Step 3: continue doing whatever it is that you like doing.....also to listen to step 2.

Yeah, I'll never stop being who I am.

Welcome to the game of life!! It sure does suck at times!! It's just like anything else though, you win some...you lose some....if we all knew the right choices to make, life wouldn't be so interesting!! At least now you know, don't be afraid to be you!!!
