Girls rarely have a desire to play video games and likely prefer boyfriends who don't waste time playing with their homies in some fake world killing fake enemies. It's not 'manly' to them and they want 'sensitive' guys who will focus their attention on them. That's what I've learned over the past 5 decades.

That's why I laugh when I see players puff their chest out and boast how great they are playing video games. Who gives a [m'kay] how good you are in the 'real' world?!? Will it get you a great job? make you money? Get you girlfriends? Real respect? I think 'No' to all the above.
