    She has no interests in games. She thinks I am too old for gaming (I am 34) and that it is a bad influence on people's behavior. In short, any negative stereotypes about gaming you can think of, she probably has them. Though its not a major problem, it can cause friction.

    your never to old to game,that's just crazy talk

    Seriously? I can understand that addiction might make it seem more important and/or interesting (not saying anything about you! :p), but sexy??? :eek::rolleyes:

    I know, right? As I said, there's a reason he's my ex!

    I think a lot of people, non-gamers especially, think that the stereotypical gamer is a teenage boy living in his mom's basement - and also believe that games make people violent etc.
    The average age of a gamer these days is 36! So you're definitely not too old...

    Mine has no interest in games at all but doesn't care whether I play them or not. If I started ignoring her to play a game or whatever I'm sure it would be an issue but I don't so it isn't.

    Does having a gamer partner become the match made in heaven I envisaged or am I luckier than I realise?

    My girlfriend has close to zero interest in gaming. She'll come into HMV, etc as I take a quick browse around.

    She picked one up a second hand game one day and said she might like it. I encouraged her to get it, as I thought having a gamer partner would be pretty cool.

    I barely saw her for the 4 days despite living in the same house. Be careful what you wish for :pac:

    well i guess im very lucky compared to most of you well for now i am
    i still live with me parents (only 18 :P)

    my gf of 2 years only likes racing games like need for speed
    unfortuntly i dont have any racing games ha only shooters and rpgs and sports
    she stays in my gaf 3 nights a week and is over 5 days a week and if she even senses me turning on a game shed crack up ha
    but on the bright side when she goes home i can play all night long ha and all day long when she dont come over

    of course this will change when i move out with her
    i will be royaly screwed in the gaming department then ha

    my fiance and I are gamers.

    Finished Mass Effect 3 there last week, and am getting The Witcher on Wed. Himself is currently replaying Arkham City.

    We work it so that if one of us wants the xbox 360, the other will play a pc game. Work's rather well for us!

    My wife do not play games and I love games but there is no problem between us due to games because she spent her most of the time in watching daily soaps and I gat the time for games.
