Have you ever been dumped for playing videogames too much?

Have you ever given greater preference with playing any particular video game/s over your
(former or current) girlfriend - boyfriend, wife - husband, friends and family and if so, what's been the
most humorous experience/s you've had with this, like say they dumped you, they got you back for it
and/or they played a joke on you in return, or vice versa.
 
Yes, i remember a time when i was playing counter strike online and had been on it for hours and hours and during this time i eaten a large bead salad with prune juice to wash it down, and i was really really bursting for the bathroom, almost touching cloth, but i could not stop playing this game and evenntually without my consent i...........of wait.........."BEEN DUMPED!!!"....my mistake, i misread the title.......erm......well...........nice weather...........i'l get me coat.:p

LOL :lol:
 
I was dumped because instead of taking her out, I was spending my evenings deep within Molten Core with 39 other men back when I was heavily into World of Warcraft.

I stopped playing shortly afterward.
 
Only problem with gaming girls is their revenge includes things like goatse, tub girl or two girls/one cup or "accidentally" deleting saved games.
 
I know a girl whose boyfriend failed out of college because he considered Counter-Strike more important than going to classes.

She married him anyway.
 
Not quite, but a guy decided not to ask me out when he found out I was a Trekkie...

I had that same problem with girls. Well that, and they didn't like me because I was also in a wheelchair.

That said, no, I've never been dumped because of video games, which I never play all that much anyhow.
 
In fact, the opposite. I once was playing a game with my roommate, I don't remember which, and my girlfriend at the time called and asked if I was coming over. I said not right now, maybe later because I was busy.

She said, "Don't you want to spend time with me?"

I think I knew then it wasn't going to work. Mind you, this was when I was in college; her room was in the next building over, and we even had a class together, so I'd already spent a solid chunk of the day with her. I just wanted to relax for a couple hours and hang out with my roommate.
 
I once offended someone I was talking to online (not at all a close friend), by bluntly observing that I wouldn't be talking to them at the moment if I had anything better to do with my time IRL.
 
I consider myself a pretty hardcore gamer, but I've never been the type who needs to play. I can easily go for weeks without touching a video game. I also dislike timesink games like WoW, so no problems in that area for me. Now if only I could get a girlfriend. :lol:
 
Nope. That said, any woman who has a problem with me playing videogames is going to be dumped by me first anyway.

A weak man was he.

No kidding!

Aww :(

If ever a time called for the vulcan nerve grip....on his penis :lol: what a jerk.

Didn't think of that! :lol:

I play video games because I don't get asked out.

me too!

His loss I'm sure.

Very much so... :techman:

Ironic much? :eek:

Trekkie chicks are the awesome.

I bet he cries himself to sleep a lot in regret.

Wasn't there some instance where a chick did just that, recorded it and put on youtube--and then they wound up on Judge Judy?
 
My girlfriend says she dumped a guy who played games a lot. Don't see why she's with me though since I'm a big gamer myself.
