WHY do men play with their video games every spare minute of every day? Are they just THAT one track minded? Do they really wake up and think, "Video Games Video Games Video Games Video Games!" and see nothing wrong with that?

Mind you, I know not ALL men do this and I know there also are women to whom this applies. I'm just generalizing (and personalizing) here.

At what point does it become an unhealthy obsession? At what point does it become immature? When does it go from being a means of entertainment to an impediment to everything else in your life? Is it a valid argument to state that if video games are the thing you most enjoy in life than you should be able to do so as often as you like without being frowned upon for it? As in, if one chooses video game playing over exercising or reading or visiting a museum or going hiking or spending time with loved ones; is that just their intrinsic right or is it something to be concerned with?

My argument against it is based on the belief that all things in life need balance to function at their best. A life whose main joy and daily thought is based on the current video game being played seems limited and sad to me. I would feel the same about an unhealthy obsession about work or exercising or sex or whatever else people get "addicted" to.

But is this just how I feel because I'm a girl and because I don't play?

Thoughts?!?!
