My gf actually sees my liking gaming as my worst quality. well, that and the things she associates with it. Comics, Cartoons, and Anime. She finds it offputting that I have these interests because she thinks theyre interests for children, not adults. And she doesn't like that I'm not very organized.
But she's cool with the fact that I'm going to university for compsci specializing in game design, and that I want to either make videogames, movies, or comic books for a living when I'm finished. She actually likes it and my creativeness.
meanwhile she wants to play LARP games, and is convinced they're more mature.
I've yet to find a single woman into gaming that I was interested in, but I've only met one of them that was single, and she was like 30 something, which is a bit old for me (20).
Women don't usually know about my gamer-ness till after we've been in a relationship for a while. Usually they see the clothing style, music taste, and general mosh-pitty-ness and the fact that I go to university and am not failing. oh well.
