Not so much.  I've dated gamers, I've dated non-gamers, been in long-term relationships with people who are vehemently opposed and will mock my 'nerdy' hobbies... However, I also mock the silly things they do (collections, random quirks, etc.).  Presenting a unified front is boring, and being completely associated with someone in such a manner that your entire like and dislike lists match just takes the savor out of everything.  I use roleplaying and CCGs as my 'home away from home', better than my previous habits of drinking to not feel feelings or the habits that led me into some of those relationships in the first place <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.My SO could care less about what I do as long as it isn't causing a negative effect to the household.  She doesn't play guitar, she plays very different video games, we split the difference on some board games and a new interest in CCGs from her side.  I can go out and practice, play some D&D, run a game, and as long as I'm not cutting into the 'couple time' we're good to go.Slainte,-Loonook.</blockquote>
