HELP!! WHY do men play with their...
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?!?! |
sounds like your bf is ignoring you for video games :1orglaugh
|
like you said it is a addiction per se , like anything else once addicted and habit formed it is hard too break ....
I havent played WoW now for over year and half maybe longer.... when I played i was playing all the time till i went cold turkey on it |
Have you tried lying down in front of the games...spread eagle and naked?
Try that. See what happens and report back. |
games don't get bitchy every 28 days ;)
|
We play video games because we can't go out there and shoot, stab and kill real people when we're frustrated.
|
It's either that or have to listen to some bitch moaning, or take her shopping (again) for fucking shoes (again), or have to watch something shitty on tv with her because she likes it, or.................. something along those lines... :winkwink:
|

I have curtailed my playing alot in the past 6 months. My ex used to play them way more than me. I think in the last month I have maybe played my PS3 a total of 4 hours compared to at least 3 hours a day before that...

Competition matches can be pretty intense, like heart visibly pounding through your shirt intense. It's tons of fun, especially if you win.

So, I was thinking about the difference between men and women. Thinking about it obviously, man has a dick and woman has a pussy. But, I want to get more in depth about how the human brain varies from one gender to the other.
I am thinking that men and women have the same brain before puberty starts. After puberty begins - hormones change the brain function and genitals develop and other signs of maturity appear. |
I'd rather play with your woolybooger. hahahaha

Why do woman always do everything possible to make men's life measurable and try to take away the few things they have left and enjoy. You should be happy he stays at home playing a video game, as he could be out at a bar. :2 cents: |
start sleeping with his friends. he'll take notice of you then.

Well, would you rather they drink all the time? Go out every night? sell drugs?
Remember, it could be worse. That being said, I bet you're usually in front of the tv while he's at his video game... well, in this day and age, video games are like top budget hollywood releases except that YOU ARE IN IT... personally, as a guy, I much prefer COD to a new war movie, or Assassin's Creed 2 to a new American Ninja movie (I have no idea why I liked those movies). So he could be parked in front of the tv watching a movie instead, and you'd feel better about that somehow because he'd be sitting next to you. Instead he's just interacting with his entertainment now rather than sit mindlessly next to you. |
In my experience, cigars are most often cigars.
He probably simply finds it enjoyable. |
seems like he is running away from something. send him to a shrink.
|
he might as well be.
since he's just a lump on the couch and not there emotionally and his attention is gone not much difference except she can see his vacant face wasting away in thetv room. Quote:

some sort of new game he is playing? or is this constant every night or weekend?

Sure, it could be worse. But I wouldn't just accept those things any more than I'm willing to just accept this one. Maybe you prefer a girl that will accept what she does not like and, of course, that's always an option as is simply remaining single so you can do all the things you want to do on your own time. A few hours during the week and a few hours a day on the weekends are not a big deal. But 20+++ hours a week is terribly annoying and unattractive. Would you want to be married to a chick who watched that much reality TV every week? Or would you just shrug and say, "Well, at least she's not on drugs." |
Why would he be doing "exercising or reading or visiting a museum or going hiking or spending time with loved ones" if that is not what he wants to do? Sounds like he is happier doing things by himself, it's very common for men. Doing things with others is probably somewhat of a drag to him; nothing you will ever be able to do anything about, should have figured it out before getting involved with him if that is a problem for you.

I spend a few hours a week on video games, but I find it a waste of time. I only play when I need to let some stress off and I'm too tired to do anything more physical :)

If your wife gained 50 pounds and you no longer wanted to have sex with her because of it... would you just accept it or bring it up and look for advice and try to change it for the sake of your relationship/family? |

If it bothers you so much, you should talk to him. I think it's the only advice I could give you :thumbsup

We have talked about it and it's an issue being dealt with in therapy currently. I just like to get outside opinions from the real world too... keeps me grounded and helps me ensure I'm thinking through all sides of an issue. |

is this correct in anyway? |
Expressing things in terms of how they make you feel is always going to be more enlightening than trying to be someone elses brain and trying to state to them what you think they are doing.
Say how it makes you feel when he sits there all day, rather than telling him that all he does is sit there all day. |
