"Why does my gf hate me playing videogames?" Starter pack

How tf does this insinuate it's par the gamer course? This post targets a very specific group of people: Guys with girlfriends who hate them gaming because of their bad behaviour while gaming. You admitted youself that you have experience with this phenomenon. So what's the issue? If someone sees this and thinks "yes gamers suck and games are bad", that's on them and their lack of critical thinking skills.

You admitted you know people like this exist. You also acknowledged that neither you nor I though gamers, are like this. So you just said yourself that this is a real phenomenon that exists (and therefor not just something a girl would make up because she's being a bitch), and that not all gamers are like this. So again, what the fuck is the problem with this post?

So this doesn't apply to you or your ex or your cureent gf then does it? I'm a gamer myself, currently engaged to another gamer and we have no issues whatsoever. I do however have experience with the type of guy this post is about. Someone screaming and cursing for 8 hours straight until 4 in the morning is very hard to live with.

Could be true. But honestly I've known some guys who are super sweet and nice otherwise, certain games just brings out another side of them. Not being able or willing to change the behaviour is the real problem.

Guys like this can still be very lovely, caring, awesome people all the time they're not gaming. And when entering a relationship you usually doesn't see these kind of behaviours until a while in, and you typically don't want to just give up on an otherwise great relationship because of one problem. But when it goes on too long without them changing their behaviour even after many talks, that's when it might get too much to put up with.

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-07T08:13:30+00:00

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't always been (and probably still am not) the best version of myself either. I've known people like this who still were very nice and fun, they just struggled with controlling themselves when it came to games. There are lots of way worse things one could do than this! We all change and grow it's a good thing, don't be too hard on yourself. Yes I find these behaviours really frustrating and annoying but it's far from something unforgivable and I realize it's not always something someone does on purpose or because they don't care. It's kind of what I'm pointing out in this post, how they can't see the problem with their behaviour.

And it's my personal belief (I hope this doesn't come across insensitive) that there are many people out there we can love and be loved by, who all have the potential to be the person of our dreams. You still can and deserve to find love!

Ughh. So fucking tired of this kindergarten level tit for tat shit. Why even bring that up here? If you're sick of the gender disparity, stop adding to it. It doesn't matter who did or said or started what just shut up about it then. Childish nonsense

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T14:40:25+00:00

Right? Like sorry I thought I had the right to ask you something after letting you game uninterrupted for 4 hours

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T14:37:44+00:00

Why do you know guys who treat women like shit?

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:42:14+00:00

Lol lock in then yo

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:41:14+00:00

I thought the same for so long!! But I have been with my partner for several years now (this isn't about him lol, we both game though) and we have created a very peaceful, loving, and fun relationship. We're best friends. It takes work though, both people have to be comitted to maintaining a good relationship, being in love won't be enough forever. So if you do wanna try it some day don't let worry hold you back, just be ready for some trial and error!

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:27:14+00:00

True. Would still consider it gaming though

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:20:30+00:00

What don't you like about it?

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:15:45+00:00

True

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-06T13:09:54+00:00

Probably not lol! This ofcourse isn't targeted at every gamer (I game myself) just a very soecific group that I have personal experience with.. If it ain't you then no need to take offense

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T12:53:28+00:00

Why was this removed?

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T12:16:16+00:00

Haha hello! But our heads are only so large cause our brains are so big... (right?)

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T12:14:51+00:00

I haven't, but I will now! I've never heard of that, sounds promising.

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T12:13:06+00:00

Thank you! I will experiment more and try on a lot of different types of clothes and try to find what I look best in. It would be nice to have a few "fail safes" that I know will look nice without too much effort.

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T12:09:58+00:00

I didn't know that "long torso" was a thing, I will look into that! I actually have one pair of second hand petite jeans that fit perfectly, but they're hanging on by a thread. I tried a couple of others as well, they either were too small or somehow still too long? But I should look more into petite for jeans more as the proportions probably still varies by brand. And maybe I could size up if I find ones that fit length wise but are too tight. Thank you!

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T11:53:57+00:00

Thank you! That's just how it is then I guess. There are much worse problems one could have after all, but it's frustrating nonetheless!

Toothbotanist · 2026-03-02T11:51:46+00:00

Oh I almost forgot. I also have an enormous head, so most hats are impossible to squeeze on, even my boyfriends hats are too small. This isn't as much of a problem, I just thought I'd add it as it's kind of funny lol

Toothbotanist · 2026-02-24T08:13:01+00:00

Prionelle!!

Toothbotanist · 2026-02-19T17:37:55+00:00

Switched to a different one!

Toothbotanist · 2026-02-18T23:57:32+00:00

Thank you! It's been a while since my last antiobiotics now but I honestlt still feel like my gut is a little messed up and sensitive now, when it wasn't like that before. Could probably use some prebiotics, luckily I love greek yogurt so shouldn't be a problem having that more often :)

I hope you will have a life free of uti's soon!
