Ok, i'm a girl and i am seriously hook on games and i am good at it. especially Dota, i love it. And i do play others like WoW, CS, L4d and Black Shot. I play every day, every night. When i'm in school, at home, in a LAN shop. I have alot guy friends due to gaming, and ultimately broke up with my ex due to gaming. It's not like i don't accompany him at all. He thinks i am too boyish and i should play girly games instead. Well, at least i do not look boyish.

He said that it's so unattractive for a nice girl to play game.

is it so?? does it make me seem boyish? will guys be intimidated?

Unless you let your gaming interfere with your day to day life, I can't see what the problem is. However it does sound a little like you overdo it a bit, and guys don't like coming second in your life to something like that. There's no need to stop, just cut down a little if you play too much and try to find a guy who doesn't care as much about shit like that.
it would be sexist to say its abnormal my friend
i thing there should b more girls that play vid games . and what realm r u in WOW ? maybe we could play .
Saying that a girl shouldn't play games is like saying a woman's place is in the kitchen. It's ignorant and plain sexist.

Gaming a moderate amount is fine and even good. But i'm worried though that you said you broke up with your bf because of it. It's not terribly healthy in that case and you really shouldn't overdo it. You can always manage your time well. If possible, spend time with your bf and if he's out on holiday or sports games or something, then you can play at home. You can juggle both at once!

Guys won't really be intimidated by it. But they might question your commitment to the relationship. To cut the long story short, everything in moderation, my friend.
theres nothing wrong with it. just dont do it too much.

i was playing madden with one of my guy friends, and he once told me "you'd be the ultimate girlfriend"

another guy friend told me "you're like my girlfriend but also one of my homies"

theres nothing wrong with being boyish. do your thannggg girlll
whats wrong with a girl playing video games?
I love video games and i'm a girl!

you shouldnt care if it's normal or not :P
MORE OF EVERYTHING IS BAD GIRL.
more sleep =deppresion and tired
more food = bulky
Girls who play games are amazingly sexy, I don't mean the girly games... I like a girl I can have serious match of CoD4 or Counter-Strike Source with or go level/raid together on WoW, Lineage.

As long as you can still go out on dates and have sex then there is nothing wrong
is it normal, no.
is it okay? yes. haha
My boyfriend thinks that me playing call of duty is sexy. I play with all my guy friends and they think that its awesome because "im a girl but also one of the guys"
It is normal.
It's definitely not abnormal. I'd actually really appreciate it if my GF were more into games. You're fine. You're ex is a douche.
Yes it might put some guys off. But this bring to mind a quote,
"Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind"

Honestly, anyone worth a real relationship will love you in full for who you are, gamer and all!
I think its fine. Just keep up with your hygene and take care of your body. Get lots of excercise so you don't look like a pale nerd with thick round glasses. Keep up with your appearance.
What everyone else said. I'm a guy, I like gamer girls. Just be yourself and don't let other people tell you what's good for you, most of the time they're not qualified to do so anyway.
I strongly disagree with it being "boyish". That sounds a bit sexist. Anyway, I always love it when I go my current gf at the time plays video games because that is just another way that we can relate (sorry if that sounds cheesy),
where can i meet you. if your hot, smart, funny, nice, you are goddamn perfect.
gamer girls! woo! your boy was stupid to lose a girl thats into hardcore gaming! i play WoW on Airies Peak. DRTYWITEBOY, im a horde player. personally, i think that gaming should be a common connection if your hardcore, so get a gamer!
then i guess i am perfect. hah!
add friends!
Wow i find that awesome, only if i knew more girls like u. its perfectly normal. just dont let it interfere w/ ur life.
my girlfriends the same
i think its cool
i love sitting playing games with her
soo fun :)
but you have to know to spend time with your boyfriend but ultimatly he should try to play with you he'll love it

and i agree it can be sexy but more cool and comfy than anything else
I dont like girls sexually, but I sure dont mind you being in the gaming scene!
Your bouyfriend sounds like a douchebag though hun. Play what you want, when you want.

People shoudl always do what they want to :3
I luuuuuuurve Games! They are just awesome-plain and simple and if ur good at them- even better!! =D
most guys that ive talked too think its awesome when girls play video games, just find a guy who has the same tastes in games as you
r u kidding me? lol tom boys r awsome as long as u rent to tomboyish... find yourself a man who can play nazi zombie map with u... then u would have found true love... lol
@: Sankun
no i am not a tomboy unfortunately.
I'm not a tomboy or anything but I sometimes play Pokemon xD I don't play it that much, I'm not obsessed or anything.
lol games who play games rock :D
haaah i was reading this with ma girl and she began to smile ^_^ she loves video games as well and shes also very good at them we play together were both 50s in halo... yeah were that good lol and cod4 tenth prestige lol we play all the time.. we dont have alot of sex though but who cares im happy as a hippo!!! :)
we need more girls like you
I'm a girl and I love to play games too! My boyfriend doesn't mind, we try to find games both our computers can handle so we can play together, which is fun. There's no shame in doing what you like to do, unless it gets in the way of your life. I think it is a little excessive you play during school and go to a LAN shop though.
hell, there should be more girls into gaming, it's such a guy-zone!
and as long as you're not turning into one of those 18 hours a day gaming nutters/masters then there's no harm.
if your bf doesnt like that you're a gamer, then you're better offf without him anyway...sexist pig.
i think its awesome that you play videogames
kick him. Say u could pwn his ass at a game. I play games all the time, and I grew up with ma friends playin games, so I think its pretty normal.
oh but wait i play video games idk wth ure talkin bout.
i guess its normal..... well my girl beating my ass in Dota.. lol
