My girlfriend doesnt hate when I play video games, well the little I do now a days.
But she would hate if i played all the time instead of spending time with her.
Its all about perception, If your ignoring her for a game, your a crappy partner.

me it's not so much of an issue. Mine is 4 hours away and when she is here, whether it be for a short or longer period of time, i always want to be with her. (No offense to you guys. I love you all but sorry, she has you all beat)

In my experience girls generally don't like gaming for a couple reasons. In the early 90's the gaming movement really pushed forward and the target audience for the vast majority of the games were MEN. So by the time women were considered a target audience the gaming industry had transformed into something much more disgusting to them. If we had never played a game before we would probably be horrified and disgusted at the thought of grand theft auto. This is the same reason parents hate games.

In short...they all feel they have better things to do with there time.

Bingo, also you have the issue of when you actually have free time. Most adults (should) have jobs, so whether you are married or dating which matters more, spending time with them during your off time or your xbox? If you circled Xbox you need help. Also, guys and gals, playing the xbox is not spending quality time together, you can disagree but trust me.

Its not that they hate gaming really, but that "MOST" girls cant play. PLease note I said "MOST", which does not include girls/women that can and do play video games.

I think what you are shooting for here is not that they can't play but that they have no interest to, and I mean most don't, and it ties in with what fuffy said.

^ This.

I wouldn't say that most girls can't play xbox... In fact I make my gal friends come over to game quite often during a girls game night. And trust me, most these girls haven't touched a controller ever in their lives.
Sure, I wouldn't say the are on the skill level of the usual gamer, but they pick it up pretty surprisingly fast.
Get the drinks flowing however and then your point is most definitely correct :p compared to guys who usually can still play... sort of.

As long as you have a career/job set and continue to bring in the green you’ll be fine. I have a Thailand girlfriend that doesn’t like the idea that I play the 360, even if its for a little bit. I just turn it around saying she facebook way too much. We both came to agreement whenever she facebooks when she is over I power up the 360. hahaha

Now if you’re someone that just does jack shizzle with no job, well its time to get a blinking job before your system (console) gets murdered by your girlfriend.
